model many Of the high schools of the
United States and that then their grad
yates would in nowise be fitted for &C.
tua1 life, but merely prepared for col
lege. AS a result of the very radical
differences of opinions concerning this
report and the apparent probability that
to attempt its adoption might bring
about most serious i'll feeling, it was
merely accepted The committees rec
concentrations that bear upon elemen-
tary education, however, are now being
considered by a committee of 5 educa-
tors, of which DIR. William H Maxwell,
superintendent of schools in Brooklyn,
is chairman, and it is hoped that this
committee may report in time for the
convention of 1895. At all events, the
subject will come up at Denver and
will, no doubt, be discussed in most
lively fashion.
Simultaneously with the convention
of the National Educational association
the American Institute of Instruction
will be held in Portland, Me. The in
stitute is much more venerable than
the association, having been founded 66
years ago, when the cause of popular
education in the United States was at
the lowest point imaginable. Save in
very few of the largest places there
were no graded schools then, teachers
were incompetent and poorly paid, the
schoolhouses were worse than barns in
construction, and there were no nor
NAL schools. It was due largely to the
patience, the toll and the genius of Hor-
ace Mann, the educational reformer,
that affairs with regard to popular edu-
cation in the United States were mend
ed, but there is not the slightest doubt
that the American institute and the in
te1igent, determined men who founded
and labored for it in the years immedi-
ately following 1880 also had much to
do with the change. The first president
of the institute was Rev. Francis Way
land. DR.. John @. Warren, the eminent
physician; Warren Colburn, the arith-
metician; John Eierpont, grandfather
| of J. Pierpont Morgan, the banker, and
many others, illustrious in their day and
we'll remembered now by reason of their
achievements in the lettering Of then
existing conditions, were prominently
identified with the movement the insti-
tute embodied.
Thrice only since the institutes estab-
ishment has it held its annual meeting
outside New England-once at Troy
and twice at Saratoga.
Although its operations have been
virtually confined to New England, its
influence has been signal1y felt in every
state, and it may be properly claimed
that every normal school in America
owes its existence to the American In.
stitute of Instruction. It's presiding Off

gold standard, thus winning to the sup
port of the party the bankers and all the
great corporation and moneyed interests
of the country. They seem to have had
votes enough to do this. Another was to
invite the contempt of verybody by
evading an expression on not only the
question which is just now of paramount
interest to the American people but on
every other public question as we'll They
chose the latter. As an expression OF
blind fealty to a party regardless of the
principles it may adopt the action of the
convention was a success. By their &C
ton the delegates pledged themselves to
the support of the next Republican ma
tional platform whether it declares for
gold, for silver or for both; for tariff or
for free trade The convention did no
harm to the cause of silver, but great
deal to the cause of Republication. 1t
is only of late years, that the Republican
party leaders have become afraid of the
people. Time was when they were ready
to take stand at all times for what they
believed to be right, and those were the
years of their great victories. Men like
Blaine and Garfield were not afraid to
say what they thought on any occasion.

Another matter which called out a
food of talk, some Of which was decid-
eddy heated and even picturesque, will
perhaps be the subject of still hvelier
contest this year at Denver than it was
last year at Asbury Park
The National Educational association
Aas been in existence for a little more
than twoscore years, but it is only
within the last 10 or 10 years that it has
been great organization Or has attract
ed general attention. Now it's member
ship lies somewhere between so, 900 and
10000, and in, spite of the Debs rail-
road strikes, which kept thousands away
in 1894, the attendance at the Asbury
Park convention was close to 5000. In
1892, at the Saratoga meeting of the
educational council, committee, COM
posed of President Eliot of Harvard,
United States Commissioner of Educa-
ton Harris, President Angel of the
University of Michigan, Head Master
Tetlow of the high school and the
Girls Latin school of Boston, President
Taylor of Vassar, Principal Robinson

Baker Of the University of Missouri,
Head Master Mackenzie Of the Lawrence

President King of Oberlin, was appoint
ed for the purpose of Investigating Sec
ondary or high school work as it is car
ried on in the United States. This COM
mittee has passed into the educational
history of America as the committee of
ten. Its first meeting was held in New
York in 1898, and its work was done
during nine conferences held between
the time of this first meeting and last
years convention. Each of these confer
ences considered a separate branch of
the general subject, and when the last
one had been held a report was made
up, 80, 900 copies were printed by the
United States government for gratuitous
distribution, and then, at the Asbury
Park convention, the report was submit
ted for adoption.
It was this report which caused such
heated discussion at Asbury, for its rec
concentrations were met with the most
widely diverse views. The chief differ
ences seem to have arisen over the atti-
tude assumed by the committee toward
the Latin language Its report favored
material extension of the study of that
tongue. Those who favor the report said
that the study of the Latin was the on

Prof. Samuels "A Few Words Rela-
tive to Butchery Of the Eyes.

How much harm ia being done with
the knife is beyond anyone's comprehen-
sion. Especially is this true where the
eyes are concerned. Some oculists $50
called the obesity ought TO be employed
in a slaugh liter house instead of hanging
out the oculist's sign. Such an oculiss
(?) has not brains enough to treat prop
erIy the patients who come to him, but
he takes out the eyes just the same.
Prof. Samuels has come across great
many cases of this kind. It is an out
rage and a shame, he says. The old
saying is, where there is life there is
hope. Prof. Samuels has saved many
poor soul from being butchered, Peo-
pie imagine that to take eyes out re-
quires great skill Don't allow these
butchers to fool you. Anyone can take

COMMENTING on the fsvorits theme of
the gold advocate, the low price of silver
bullion, the St Louis Post Dispatch
prints the following:
The chief use of silver is for money.
and when it is forbidden to bs coined
into money, is it strange that it should
lose half its valuef Any other commo-
dity would meet the same fate if treated
in the same way. The chief use of
wheat is for bread. and of cotton for
clothing. Suppose wheat was forbidden
to be ground into flour, and cotton to be
woven into cloth, would not these two
great staples of our agriculture lose a
half, or three fourths of their value?
And the most ludicrous feature of the
matter is that those who deride silver as
cheap and degraded, are the very per-
sons who persuaded the government to
impair its value and rob it Of it's dignity.
They debar it from the mints-snd re-
fuse it the ancient right of being coined
into money, and then sneer at it because
it is cheap
