TEACHING AS A PROFESSION.

President Schuman, in the pages OF
the Forum, says that the next develop
ment in the universities will be grad
uate school of pedagogy, which will be
open Oily to college graduates or per-
sons of similar standing, which will
uplift, ennoble and liberalize the teach
ing profession schools of law, medi-
cine and technology have already dig
nified the callings of the lawyer, the
doctor and the engineer.
There have been other expressions
of opinion upon this important matter.
To be a thorough teacher, one that
works on broad, not narrow, lines, a
man or woman needs university train
ing. The normal school does not give
what the school of pedagogy at a great
university can give. The normal school
is far too narrow in its scope. 1t does
not work on broad university lines.
The school of pedagogy must require
of its pupils some hard and general
previous training, and must be, in fact,
a postgraduate school.
The time will come when it will be
as impossible for a teacher to practice
his profession without having passed
through university as it would be
for q doctor to practice medicine with
out a proper training. The time is far
OF, but it most assuredly. will come.
Much has been done to advance the
profession of teaching; the teachers
of the present. day understand their
profession far better than those of the
past, but it is very few of them who
thoroughly understand it in ali its
broad bearings. A mere smattering of
psychology does not make a teacher.
The science of pedagogy is much fur
Their reaching. True. it rests on psych-
ology, but as a recent writer SAYS, it
finds the definition of the aim of edu-
cation in ethics; it traces the develop
ment of educational principles, and
studies comparatively the great ma
tilonal systems of education evolved by
the different civilized peoples; it sets
forth the best practice OF the present

Viewed from the standpoint OF Puck
and Judge, it is humorous. Viewed
from the standpoint of Life, it is archie
illogical. One of the latest numbers OF
Life solved the veXed question of the
Venus de Milo by irrefutably showing
that the statue was meant to represent
a Venus on her wheel But we must
now approach the subject of cycling
in neither its humorous nor its archeo-
logical aspect. It must be approached
with generation. From the columns of
the Queenslander we learn that a Bishop
of that colony performs his ecclesiasti-
cal and episcopal s-isiting on a cycle'
Visions of local Bishops flying around
on wheels fills the mind with satisfac-
ton and the eye with peace. 1t is stated
that 4 Bishops costume is an ideal one
for cycling, the CATERS doing away with
any need of trouser clips Reverently
we wait for the Episcopal wheel.

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.

The United States have furtbar pro-
1ected themselves from the tide of for
eign immigration. Criminals. diseased
or pauper immigrants have been shut
out for some time, but now there is to
be an educational test. BY the new bill
all male persons between sixteen and
sixty who can not both read and write
the English language or some other
language" are TO be excluded.
Of course all depends upon the en-
forcement of the law, and it will be
hard to enforce, for at the main ports
OF entry a perfect army of linguists will
have TO be on hand. The immigrants
into the United States are a polylingual
set Of people Set aside such widely
known languages as French, Spanish.
Italian or German, there is Malay, Hin
du, Pushtu. Icelandic, Finn, and good
ness knows how many more. A column
might easily be filled with them. Is the
customs department of the United
States going to keep professor of each
of these on tap, as it were, at the prin-
cipal custom houses? Or will one set be
kept rotating, or rather oscillating, be
tween San Francisco and New York.
The professors would have rather a
hard time of it.
The chances are good that there will
not, in everyday practice, be a strict
observance of the law. The best feat
ure about the measure is that it is one
more step forward in the movement to
regulate immigration into the United
States.

CONTENTS OF BIG DAIL1Es.

The subject of the matter used in the
large dailies OF the United States is
commented upon from both sides of the
continent In San Francisco the Ar
gonaut wages continual war and in
New York. Life is ever keeping the
subject before the people. One of the
most striking cartoons in Life appear
ed in the last number received. II
represents a hideous monster crawling
out Of q sewer, its jaws dripping with
filth and its body made of Scare
heads" from newspapers dealing with
the worst of social crimes and push
ing its pearsome head among q group of
pretty and innocent school children.
The cartoon was satirical but true.
Take up any of the great dailies and
you find matter in them which is of
no news value. whatever, and is essen
TALLY salacious, If a great crime is
committed there is good reason that
people should know of it. But there is
no earthly reason why all the disgust
ing details should be given. Why
should We have gore and filth poured
into the family circle?
OF course, on the other hand, the
newspaper proprietors turn round and
say, if we did not supply these details
We should go astern. Where We are
hundreds of thousands now. we
would be making nothing at all. We
must cater for the public taste. 1t is
a pretty, poor comment on the public
taste. however a reform will come
some day and the great dailies become

or in plain English, for our boys and
girls. There has been much matter in
some of the late files from the Coast
which has been utterly unfit reading
for any young people, in fact, youth
or maiden might just as well read the
Police Gazette as some Of the great
Pacific Coast dailies.

Canada's 1,411,OOO square miles of
territory previously unnamed has been
duly mapped out and the different sec
tons given a distinctive label. The
new districts are as follows: Ungava.

Hudson's bay and the Arctic ocean.
with the exception of the narrow coast
line OF Labrador. Franklin, the great
group of islands north of Hudson's
straits and lying between the 6Oth and
125th degree of west longitude. West
OF this again is Mackenzie, taking in
the mainland country between the
northern limit of Athabaska and the
Arctic sea, and being between the Tooth
meridian of longitude and a line about
500 miles west and parallel with the
Mackenzie river. Yukon includes the
district inclosed between the latter line.
and the northern boundary of British
Columbia, the eastern boundary of
Alaska and the Arctic ocean. Ungava
is almost as extensive as British Col

VOICE OF THE PRESS.

Scarcely ever since the existence of
our Government has any President
reached such lower depth of contempt
in the opinion Of Congress as has been
reached by Mr. Cleveland. This was
significantly expressed last week by the.
vote in passing over his veto the river
and harbor bill The veto was vetoed
by the House by vote of 200 to 60
only 80 Democrats and 26 Republicans
voting TO sustain the veto, while in the
Senate only voted with the President

bulwark Of Democracy, CleveIand's
name was Kissed and f1outed in the
Democratic State convention last week
and Carlisle Jared no better. Cleveland
was also Missed in the Virginia conyeu-
ton. In the future generations Cleve-

The increase of wind velocity with

at height of 5000 to 10000 feet on a
clear, almost calm September day, the
wind velocity was scarcely six and
half miles an hour, between $4,000 and
10000 feet, it was over thirty-five
miles an hour, and pilot balloon

feet was carried at the rate of eighty
miles an hour.

NORTH POLE EXCURSION DIRECT.


The expedition TO the North Pole via
balloon is not regarded by some sci
entists and experienced balloon men
as very likely to attain success. At the
same time. if we go back TO the time
of Columbus. an expedition across the
Atlantic was not regarded as likely to
be success. But the diversity of opin-
ions upon the subject shows how little
We know of the upper air.
We know something of the prevail
ing winds close TO the surface of the
earth or of the ocean, and by observa-
ton have some knowledge of the upper
currents, but our knowledge is crude
and undigested. AS TO the currents

north, a stretch of about 1850 miles
We know absolutely nothing. The ex-

The whole account of Staten Pasha's
twelve years captivity and final es-
cape from the followers of the Mahdi
is one Of the most romantic episodes
of the country. but probably one of the
most curious incidents is the story of
his sword. In 1888 he surrendered At
Darfur and gave up his sword. which
he had received on entering the Aus
trian Army, and on which, when he
entered the Egyptian service. he had
had his name engraved in Arabic
character In 1885 when he had es-
capped and went TO London, his sword
was returned 10 him. II had been
bought by a tourist by native on the
Nile The explanation is that the
Mahdi presented Slaten's sword 10 one
of his followers and that when the
Mahdists were defeated by General
Grenfell in 1889. the owner of the
sword was killed and it was picked up
by the Fillager, who sold it 10 the
tourist But il certainly was q won

That same sword has started with its
owner once more for the Soudan. and

adventures il is not surprising he feels

EUROPEAN SLAVE TRADERS.

What is written by the French about
the Germans, or the Germans about the
French, needs to be taken with a con-
siderable grain of salt Edward Gull
laumet, member of the French Cham
Der, however. has been going for his
own people, and the Christliche Welt
OF Leipsic has been showing up the
Germans, so that it seems that we in
each case get the truth. The question
is the slave trade in Africa.
Gillaumet draws attention to the fact
that the French have made use of slav-
cry as means of enriching their own
people. He points out from document
airy evidence that the French officials
in accordance with the custom of the
land, captured as booty of war" the
natives OF the villages they had plum
dered, and had then, upon the compile
ton of the campaign, brought these
captives to the coast and used them as
payment to their servants and to buv
horses with. In July, 1894, when the
town of Bose was captured. a regular
slave hunt took place the proceeds of
which were used by the officials in pay
ment OF the costs of the campaign and
the wages of the soldiers.
So strong has been his article, for
every statement in which he brings
his proof, that the. members of the
Institute have taken up the matter and
are publishing his revelations in an
anti-slavery paper. Gillaumet feels as
sured that it will take long time to put
an end to slavery in Africa, but that
no progress can be made so long as
the representatives of European civil
ization make use of the custom for
greed and money. How can the native
be made to see that it is wrong to buy
or sell his brother?
Then comes the ChristIiche Welt
and says things are just as bad in the
German colonies. 1t says that it is a
fact that slavery is being carried on
secretly from the German colonies TO
Pemba and Zanzibar, and that every
year from 5000 to 5000 are transported
by the traders. 1t is further stated as
an assured fact that the slave traders
make use of the East African Steam
ship lines for their nefarious traffic.
The paper gives the German officials
throughout the colonies terrible in
dictment for their immortality.
The feature of buying slaves to set
them free is treated of by both writer's.
Both agree that it is only method of
keeping the slave trade going. 1t was
only recently proved that the natives
of the Bismark Archipelago carried on
a nightly slave raid for the purpose
OF selling the proceeds to the missions.
A savage may be rude and uncouth. but
he sometimes has the business instincts
of down East Yankee.
If the cases stated by the two writer's
are correct, we should think that the
time had come for France and Germany
to investigate their colonial admins
tration
