THE sEYEN-pAY ISSUE.

The ''Record-Union" resumes its Sun
ton that the people wish it, nay de-
R1and it, and that 1T will~be means Of
good, and for the better dissemination
Of information in a manner not dis
ard upbuilding.
The change from a six day to g. seven
day issue is simply a change for the
better for the people; they wish to
any other day what activities in the
world are worthy of their attention and
thought and this demand the Record
Union will meet The issue of the
position to any local undertaking, but
is resolved upon simply as a business
proposition and in response to a need
that the people may have the means Of
ascertaining what is the worlds news
without waiting for the arrival Of
papers published in San Francisco. AT
the same time the effort will be put
forth to make, and success will be
achieved in making the Sunday issue
notably strong in tone, clean1y in ex-
preston, beneficial in all that is printed
and helpful to every reader.
Sensationalism, trashy matter, un-
clean publication, immoral shadings,
pandering to impure tastes, will in no
department be discovered by our read
ers. The Record Union" enjoys an
enviable reputation for the cleanliness
of its reading columns, and this char
acteristic will continue to distinguish
ityfor the future.
While new features will be added from
time to time, and no pains spared to
make the paper more desirable if any
thing on Sunday than on any other day,
none of the features of the paper in the
past will be missing. The sum of the
matter is this-the Record Union" has
resolved that Sacramento shall no lon
ger be the only leading city on the
coast without a complete newspaper
issue to greet readers on Sunday morn
ing.

Requirement of knowledge piecemeal
may load up the intellectual part, it may
store in the mind a mass of goods; :;
but it never can train the mentality or
give strength and symmetry to the
mind. For the mind needs training and

more than do the muscles and organs of
cur bodies, for our healthful and full
development. Education trains the
mental part, and does it by method. In

to equip yourself for self-helpfulness.

THE LOCAL ART INSTITUTE.

Few If any cities of the population of
Sacramento are able to entertain the
pride of which this community is en-
titled to boast, because of a maintained
art school. Tomorrow evening at the
City Art Gallery, the Sacramento School
OF Design inaugurates its twelfth year
by its annual free exhibition of the
works of its pupils. The occasion. and
the fact that the school is practically a
part of the local educational system.
makes reference to the event timely
and fitting.
1t is announced that this will be the
most extensive and varied exhibition
ever made by the school. There is to be
All added interest to this years exposi-
ton because of the union with it in ex-
hibition of the work of the Camera
Club, and of a new water-color class of
the school. 1t Is expected, therefore.
that the public win be more than usu-
ally generous in attendance.
Commentator enIarges not exhausts
the store of human sympathy, it ener-
g1zes motive forces and lubricates the
toiling machinery of human effort; it
stimulates worthy ambition and revives
fainting hope; 1t is at once of the best
that community can give, and the
least costly aid extended to any worthy
commendable output of ability. Such
efforts as are crystallized in the local
school of art should therefore have our
sympathy. and the open expression of
it. not only in a general way but in spe-
cific manner. The people should attend
the exposition about to be made, and
commend wherever struggling genius,
native ability and achieved success
warrant
Who can tell how lasting will be the
influence of the kindly word of just but
gentle criticism how far down a life
path a single word of commendation
may reach to smooth the way and in

DANGEROUS DOCTRINE.

We have found this paragraph float
ing through press columns for consid-
cradle time. 1t is so full of error and
danger that it is worth while to give
it some consideration, especially since
scme of our contemporaries have seen
fit to keep it afioat:
Benjamin Franklin said he made him
self an educated man simply by learn
ing things when he wanted them
Whenever he had use for any kind of
knowledge he acquired it. His appe-
tite was good, his mental digestion was
in order, and hence he assimilated his
knowledge and made it a part of his
intellectual organization.
man cannot be made wise upon
knowledge which he doesn't want TO
learn, any more than he can be made
strong upon pie which he doesn't want
to eat. Compulsory pie can only result
in dyspepsia, and compulsory knowl-
edge is inevitably followed by intel
lectual Indigestion. There are thou
sands of men who are graduating from
cur colleges at this season of the year
who, from the very nature of the case,
must be mentally dyspeptic.
If Franklin ever said anything of the
kind it serves the more to deepen the
impression that Franklin was very far
from an admirable character or model,
certainly not an example, to place be-
fore young men, though that he was a
patriot and appreciated the value of
labor, industry and providence is freely
conceded. But the philosophy of the
quotation above given, if it is worthy
to be .dignifed with that designation, is
as misleading and vicious as advice well
could be.
No man was ever educated by wait
ing until he needed knowledge before
he attempted to acquire it. That doc
trine would abolish the school and leave
the Office of teacher vacant. The ca
pacity to understand, to engage in men
tai fencing and intellectual contest; the
ability to hold ones own in competi-
ton with his fellow; indeed, the ability
10 "assimilate knowledge must be the
result of training of the natural facul-
ties.
What nature gives US invariably needs
cultivation She furnishes the raw ma
terial-we must work it up. This can
be done well only with the proper tools,
and the tools for education are knowl-
edge and training of natural capacity
under methods resulting from the ex-
perience of men during long periods of
time To learn only as we need to use
specific knowledge is to make our edu-
cation a garment of shreds and patches,
instead of a robe of grace. comfort and
protection; it is to give us disconnected
ly mass of facts that win clash and
rattle and grind in our understanding
where there should be method, har-
nony and ease
It will absolutely destroy right meth
ods of thinking and prevent that
growth of the reasoning powers into full
maturity and strength that is essen
tial to the well-educated, self-reliant,
veIl-equipped man. Compulsory pie''
Ereferred TO in the quotation sounds, as
| ii is. coarse and when applied to edu-
cationaI training and the requirement
of knowledge is vulgar. It is really
