THE PUBL/C SCHOOL IDEA.
IciSvillc Herald.

ST. Francisville Herald.
The public school system is one of the
grandeSt institutions known to our civilian
ton. Its aim is to give to great body of
children an education without any financial
membranes whatever. 1t is a wise pro-
vision that the public money should be
however poor and unfortunate need be shut
out from the privileges of securing at least a
common school education. The free
schools of our land constitute the basis of
universal enlightenment and the b:ck-bon
of all ou- republican institutions.
The public schools arc also better organ
lied and equipped for school work than
schools of a private nature can possibly be-.
pcrmanency arc three strong points in their
favor. Again, where there are teachers to
take charge of the various grades, better
and more thorough work can be accom-
plishcd than by one teacher only. The
spirit of emulation that naturally arises in
classes of large schools is also wholesome,
and many slow mind has thus been
quickcned to kcencr perception by coming
in contact with some of the bright lights of
the schools.
While the public school idea has been
slow to gain favor in Louisiana, and We are
far behind other states in many respects,
still have made considerable progress.
The future is more hopeful than ever, for
there seem to be a new interest awakening
at present in public education. Normal
teachers are being secured everywhere, and
better class of pupils entering our
school. The old conservative idea of ''bad
association is giving place to sound COM
mon The fancy and snowy training
of the boarding school has been found to be
chiefly superficial, and to be wholly
suitable for the stern duties of life. There
is doubt whatever but that the public
schools of the State lay the best foundation
for sound and practical education, and we
hope to this parish especially studded
with good and comfortable school-houses
and filled with entire school population.
That is the way to turn over new leaf,
and let every loyal citizen bend his efforts
in that direction.

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to
know that the very best medicine
for restoring the tired-out nervous
system to healthy vigor is Electric
Bitters. This medicine is purely
vegetable, acts BY giving tone to
the nerve centers in the stomach,
gently stimulates the liver and kid
neys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appe-
tite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried it
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for soc
or $500 per bottle at VIM. Clegg's

Education In Russia.

A few figures, taken from official sources,
and referring to the first years of the pres
ent decade, will throw considerable light
on the matter of popular education in Rus
sia. About 200, 900 recruits are yearly en-
listed in the army, and of these only about
90, 900 can read. Among the peasants
proper the percentage of illiterates rises to
95 per cont. In some parts there is only
one school to each 200 villages. If Russia
had the same proportion as her neighbor,
Sweden, for example, she would have about
ESQ, 900 schools, while she actually has only
is, 900. Again, take Russia's enormous
budget of 1000, 100000 rubles OF this
only 500, 900 Is devoted to popular educa
tion-that Is, one-eleventh part OF what Is
devoted to the maintenance of the imperial
court, one six -hundredth part of the cost
Of the army, and one wo-ttousandth part
OF the whole. At about the samo time
Great Britain was spending about e9, OO0,'
900 for elementary education, etc., with q
population little more than third OF that
of Russia. Moreover, about two.thirds OF
this paltfy sum OF 800, 900 rubles goes II
salaries OF inspectors. -"In the Land Of

BY invitation went in the evening to a
charming little banquet, at which I met
some dear old friends. There were recita.
tions Of poems by guests and there were
dances by dancing girls. One of the lat
ter, whom / remembered having seen
when a very small child mako, during an
official dinner given at the governor Q
house in the twenty third year of Meiji,
had grown up into a tall and graceful
woman. She attired herself like young
warrior of old time-a two sworded bushi,
with white cloth tied round her head,
sleeves bound back and skirts tucked up
to sing national song of tho war now

most interesting incidents Of the entertain.

full not to seem boastful. Now 1t is just
this vocal irony which takes Japanese
audience by storm, provoking wild shouts
and old samurai battlecries, as 1t did on this
occasion even before the girl had finished
the first four lines.
Then at my request the girl danced the
dance of Urashima. asked her because
had seen her dance it when she was a
child. This time she danced IT using 9
mask-the mask of old age---deftly slipped
on at the momeut when Urashima look:

The Cuban Revolution.

Two years of desperate conflicts-ruin-
Gus for Spain, which is today on the verge
of bankruptcy-have not weakened the
efforts of the insurgent patriots. In the
United States better than anywhere else
one could follow day by day the varying
fortune of this Titanic duel--the landing
of the two Naceo brothers, survivors of a
family of heroes, both of whom were to
find, IA few months apart, the most glori-
Gus of deaths; the advent in the campaign
of Maximo Gomez, the veteran Of the ten
years insurrection; the death of Marti,
fallen in ambuscade before seeing the tri-
umph Of his labor; the revolt deepening,
spreading from the eastern to the western
department, toward Pinar del Rio, and
threatening Havana; the recall of Marti'
nez Campos, powerless to conquer; his re-
placement by General wcyler, wild beast
with a human countenance, and finally
the dissolution, greater each day, Of the
prestige and credit Of monarchical Spaip.
This is the state Of things at present. The
entire people Of the United States have
