The School Union Meeting.

This evening the st. Paul School
union will hold an open meeting in the
assembly hall Of the Central high
school for the purpose Of having pub
lie discussion ot the relation of art
educatiCn'to public education. This an
nouncement should fill the hall with an
audience. 1t should be mainly COM
posed of those who regard any instruc-
ton in the rudiments of art. such as
freehand drawing, as a fad" in
VOlving waste of public money that
should be devoted to instruction in the
immortal three Rs. They should turn
out in force to present their objections
and argue down those folk. regarded by
them a finicky set, who hold it to be
a proper and needed element in school
education. The remainder of the au-
dience might be largely made up of
those who have not fully committed
themselves to the fad" but think
there may be something said for it. if
they could but know what. They will
learn all there is to be said for it, and,
if the "anti-faddists" turn out, all that
can be said against it.
They these doubters, will be surpris-
ed to find how much there is to be said,
not in defense Of teaching art in the
public schools, but in advocacy of 1t.
They will be asked if. in their own ex-
perience, it does not very often happen
that they are at fault if they have only
words to depend upon for expression of
thought, and do not find that ability to
use pencil in making q sketch sup
plies what words fail to express. Art
and mathematics work together. The
latter is not alone useful in "figuring;"
it's study inculcates ideas and habits
of accuracy. So does art. The old
saw, "A blacksmith's eye is as good as
a tailor's tape" is but a recognition of

WHIT IS A BANK /?

HELPING THE MANUFACTURER AND
WORKMAN.
The manufacturer in the place where the
Bank Is located Is in the same condition as
the storekeeper.
AT certain seasons Of the year he has
trusted out all his money.
he wants to buy iron. copper. COAL wood,
wool. timber. cotton.
he wants money to pay men their wages
every week.
he cannot collect 1t in fast enough.
he goes to the Bank as the storekeeper did
and borrows to keep things going until he
collects in. ''f -
HIS men do not have to stop work and walt
till he collects.
Inelr wages are paid right along.
Ihls Is because he can borrow at the Bank.
II there were no Banks In the place to
coiiect In the idle money and loan 1t to him
ne would have to stop or do a smaller busl-
ness and hire fewer men.
so II 1t were not for the Bank the men
would be out Of work. OF there would be
fewer Of them at work.

This Is Business.

Every American will be gratif1ed with
the news published this morning. con-
firming the reported sale to the United
States of the two new cruisers which
have just been completed for Brazil by
the famous Armstrong firm. The same
forethought and activity that were dis
played in making the great appropria
ton for national defense have been
called into play by the executive off,
GERS Of the government: and, in the
short space of time since it became
necessary to think seriously of arm
ing, the negotiations for these ships
have been carried through. The spirit
Of energy and the long purse have won
what may be called the first brush;
for that Spain desired to secure these
ships Is an open secret.
From the description of the vessels
published elsewhere, it will appear how
great their value and how especially
important it was to us that they should
not pass into the hands Of an enemy.
They are of the latest type, with the
best machinery and the most modern
guns of the caliber that they carry.
1t is true that they are not, strictly
speaking, warShips, but they are pow
erful enough to contend with anything
from which they cannot run away; and
only the strongest vessels of a hostile
fleet would care to be pItted against
them. They can move with great
rapidity from point to point; and, eth
er acting as commerce destroyers or as
protectors of our own merchant marine.
they will be an invaluable addition to
the new navy.
Even more value attaches to the fact
that they are put beyond the reach OF
Spain. 1t is admitted that, in case Of
war, Spanish efforts would be directed
chiefly against our commerce. 1t would
be hopeless to try to invade this coun-
try, and our warships will take care Of
those of Spain. But two fleet and
powerful cruisers such as these could
destroy millions Of dollars worth Of
property on the high seas If they were
under the enemy's control. The defen-
sive value of the purchase is probably
greater than the offensive. This is get
ting down to business; and sincerely
as every one still hopes that war may
be avoided, the country obtains an add
ed sense of security and power from
the purchase.
