IL. No true luxury, wealth or re-
ligion is possible to dirty persons. nor
is 1t decent or human to attempt to
compass any temporal prosperity
whatever by the sacrifice of cleanli-
ness The speedy abolition of all
abolishable filth is the first process
of education.
Ia All education must be moral
first; intellectual secondarily. Intel

more education, is, in completeness,
impossible; and in incompleteness a
calamity.

IA. Moral education consists next in
making the creature practically SER
viceable to other creatures, according
to the nature and extent of its own
capacities; taking care that these be
healthily developed in such service. 1t
may be question how long, and to
what extent, boys and girls of fine
race may be allowed to run in the
paddock before they are broken; but
assuredly the sooner they are put to
such work as they are able for, the
better. Moral education is summed
when the creature has been made to
do its work with delight, and thor
oughly; but this cannot be until some
degree of intellectual education has
been given also.
10. Intellectual education consists in
giving the creature the faculties of ad-
miration, hope, and love.
These are to be taught by the
study of beautiful nature; the sight
and history of noble persons; and the
setting forth of noble objects of &C.

16. Since all noble persons hitherto
existent in the world have trusted in
the government of it by a supreme
Spirit, and in that trust, or faith, have
performed all their great actions, the
history of these persons will finally
mean the history of their faith; and
the sum of intellectual education will
be the separation of what is inhuman
in such faiths, and therefore perishing
from what is human, and for human
creatures, externally true

1 The president of the American Asso

The president of the American Asso-
citation Of Librarians said, in the recent
general conference of that body, that
the number of volumes in the libraries
of this country had more than trebled
since 1876. The chief cause of this
great Increase, he said, is wholesome
growth of public perception of the
value Of good books. This fact, even
more than the willingness of the rich
to found and endow libraries, is mat
ter for national satisfaction. Unused
libraries do not speak well for their
possessor.

To All Workers.

We advise strongly against the pras.
tice which now exists in some indus
tries of working overtime beyond the
established hours of labor, particularly
in these times, when SO many unem-
ployed are struggling for an opportun-
ity to work. 1t is an instigatof to the
basest selflshness, and whether on piece
work or day work, it tends to set back
the general movement for the eight
hour day-Executive Council American

The Development of American Cities

The Development of American Cities
Our municipal government is in the.
DRY more democratic than that OF
Europe; but when results are compared
we find that the European cities do far
more than ours for "the people," Sc
that We have much to learn from them
Good government is largely a question
Of good administration. This can be
had in large city only by intrustins
to some one man the full power of ex-
ecutive direction. Civil service must
be vigorously applied.
Municipal factions are of three kinds:
Q) Those Of primary necessity, such as
police and fire protection; (2) others
now looked upon as necessary, such as
food inspection and the regulation of
the liquor traffic; and (3) those afford
ing opportunities for higher education
parks, play grounds and public baths.
recreation and comfort-as libraries,
In this third class, although our con-
ception of the functions of government
is widening, we have much to learn.
Our cities should do everything promo
tive of the well-being of the people,
