the provisions the present generation in
this or that city is making for the future
generation. In this respect San Francisco
has no need to take a backward seat, save
from modesty. Her public schools rank
with the highest, and what is more, there
are enough of them and they are con-
tinually growing to meet the demands of
the growing population. And not the
least of these-perhaps, indeed, the great
est-is this new manual training school
that has just closed what may be called its
first working term.
There are many boys to whom the Or
binary course OF study is irksome, but
these same boys can hardly be kept away
from tinkering with piece of machinery
or patterning some Continuance in wood.
As a result they are only too anxious to at
tend a mechanical school, when they
would be playing hockey" from ordinary
studies. This fact was never made more
apparent than when the manual training

of the Wilmerding scholars, while
the Lick scholars would enjoy
all the facilities that its neighbor
afforded. The new school could offer
courses of teaching that the old does
not, while in the field of mechan-
les the Wilmerding has a large
scope that the Lick does not touch. By
joining forces, it is argued. wider course
OF study could be afforded pupils, and the
expense of equipment and maintenance
could be materially reduced.
The advantages of mechanical schools to
the rising generation is almost beyond
estimate. The experiment has been tried
in many of the European countries with
the most fattering results. In Sweden
particularly the Government has about
concluded that they are of as much if not
more importance than the grammar
schools.

grandest coup d'etat ever attempted by
the Union forces to inflict a fatal blow
upon the enemy.
An alarm was sounded and the whole
population thereabouts turned out to cap

this purpose trained ;bloodhounds were
put upon the trail and the entire twenty

the daring wreckers. These saw the
failure OF their enterprise and their own
fate if captured. Hastily tearing up a
few rails they steamed forward, seeking
safety in flight. Their pursuers replaced
the rails and fairly flew after the run

intrepid Ohio boys detached the locomo-

opening wide the throttle, dashed away at
full speed toward Chattanooga. Their
plans were so carefully prepared and so
promptly executed that before the amazed
people at Big Shanty could recover from
their establishment the daring wreckers
were out of sight. Not stopping to. cut
the telegraph lines the disguised vol
unteers threw coupling hooks which
grappled the wires and tore them

there they having been taken direct from
Chattanooga. On the 18th of June, 1862,
however, their prison doors were opened
and the death sentence of the seven tried
at Knoxville was read to all. These were
told to make. a hasty farewell to their

In April, 1862, General o. NJ. Micthell,
commanding the Union forces at Hunts
vile, Ala, called for twenty-four volun-
teers for the performance of an extra haz-
ardous duty. The object was to penetrate
the enemy's lines, reach some point on
the Georgia State Railroad between At
lanta and Chattanooga, seize an engine
and by retrograde movement toward
Chattanooga dash over the road, cut tele-
graph wires, tear up the rails, burn
bridges and in every possible way destroy
the enemy's main line of communication,
and by thus shutting off assistance and
supplies, force the rebels to evacuate

vermin prevented them from sleeping.
When liberated from this vile dungeon,
twelve of their number were taken to
Knoxville, Tenn, where seven of them
were tried before court martial charged
with being spies. Their counsel contended
that the accused were in the performance
of military duty recognized by the rules
of war. and that being dressed in citi-
zens clothing no more subjected them to
the charge and punishment of spies than
was the Confederate General Morgan when
he raided in similar dress to destroy the
Union lines of communication.

during the war. Its very wiIdness threw
about it the glamour of romance, while the
purpose it sought to accomplish promised
the most gigantic and overwhelming re-
suits to the Union forces, with the most
sublimeiy direful consequences to the Con-
federates. Indeed, had the expedition sue

disastrous to the rebel cause than the an

in October following, in which eight
evaded recapture. Six of these safely
reached the Union lines, two were never
heard of, and the other two were retaken
and sent to "Castle Thunder" Richmond,
