to the prime necessity In the cases of
children thus taken prematurely from
school that they shall be able to write
the language correctly The training in
arithmetic of a public school pupil of say
from twelve to fourteen years Of age is
usually away ahead Of the ordinary re-
quirements. He usually knows more about
figuring than his elders ever learned, who
had had much ampler educational oppor-
ern schools may thus be said to be well
provided In this direction, it may, too,
we think, be said that he is not at all
equally we'll provided in the matter of
the correct use of words
1t is not unusual in business life to
meet boys and girls, or, as they may
prefer to be called, young men and wom-
en-, who are more or less qualified as
stenographers and typewritists without
anything approaching an accurate knowl-
edge of grammatical construction. Pune
tuation is entirely unknown to many OF
them; and a grammatical blunder has no
horrors whatever for them.
The old plan of teaching the rules of
these modern times. Yet it remains true
that the pupil trained on the old plan
would blush to the roots of his or her
hair If charged or chargeable with many
of the blunders which the modern pupil
will commit with unconscious effrontery
in grammatical construction, There are no
spelling bees nowadays. We do not
undertake to say how far this is due to
the shakiness of the average youngster
in his spelling; but that he is often very
shaky, even after his advent with his
high school diploma, may be attested any
day.
Whatever may or may not be the es-
sentials. judged from the purely scien-
ti1c scholastic standpoint. a harder drill
in words, their meaning and their rela-
tons, than prevails in the average public
schools for pupils between the years of
ten and fourteen is an absolute need.
How greatly its absence influences the
career of the boy or girl starting out
to make a living in commercial pursuits
teachers do not often have chance to
know There are few intelligent parents
who do not know it; and business men
everywhere will readily bear testimony
to the extreme difficulty which exists to
get a young boy or girl just out Of
school who is equal to the job of writing
correctly an ordinary letter. even from
dictation.

The smelter trouble is not yet
ended. The smcltels waited for
the decision OF the court, expecting
TINT MS soon as the eight hour law
was declared vold tho men would
return to work at former wages
aud long hours. But not so; the
men appealed to tho board Of
arbitration which, after giving the
subject due attention, decided in
favor of shorter hours and n com
promise on n scale of wages.
The smelter trust refuses to
abide by the decision of the board
and repudiatc the idea of IL general
prosperity. They say: We do
not believe there il single indus
try in Colorado employing twenty
five men or more that has advanced
its scale Of wages above the scale
which prevailed before the panic
of 1888"
They insist that the miners, tho
railway employees, the iron and
steel workers, the Tram way en-
ployees, the horseshoers, and tho
great army of clerks and statesmen
have not had their wages raised
above the scale that existed before
the panic of 1893. "The fact is
say the smelters, "there is nothing
IN the industrial situation of this
state which would Justify this
great increase in our wage scale,
which, according to the recommen-
Cation OF the board Of arbitration.
would be over 20 per cent more
