with a good knowledge of mechanical
or industrial arts will be answered by
scarcely a twentieth of that number.
In brief, education has not easily
adapted itself to new situations. 1t
has been too abstract and has not rec
ognized the place of vocation. No at
tention has been given to the historical
growth of industry or the mutual rela-
tions of labor and capital. Manual
training has thus far little immediate
connection with vocation. The trade
school is demanded, and the support of
the state is invoked. Use and beauty
can be welded, paying Difference to the
higher nature of man and opening up
an infinite opportunity for the exercise
of creative and artistic genius.
Without wishing to disparage or min
imize the Importance of the work per-
formed in the American schools. Mr..
Dutton believes that the nation has
become great not by reason of public
education, but in spite of It, and that
we have failed in our opportunity be-
cause our educational machinery from
top to bottom has been old-fashioned
and poorly organized. No form of ac-
tivity has been so slow in adapting it
self to new conditions as is teaching.
In this respect, it is in strange con-
trast to the contrivances and resources
of the home and of the industrial
world.
Mr.. buttons appeal to the churches
is most impressive. He believes that
the church has in the schools most
important ally, and that the teachers
themselves are Christian men and wo-
men and that their work is a silent in
fluence, more potent than any other,
operating in favor of Christianity. He
believes, furthermore, that the menl-
bers of the clergy and the members
Of Christian churches have not only
failed to fully recognize this fact, but
that they have not yet given to the
teachers the support which they sc
much need in their higher work of so
cializing and Outstanding the chill
dren of the community. With other ed
ucators, he believes that, by the free
use of the kindergarten and by the
more generous introduction of indus
trial elements into our public schools,
every child in the commonwealth might
be saved from crime and insured a use
full life, that crime would practically
disappear and that better day would
be ushered in.

The Print Cloth Market.

Fall River Mass, Aug. 6.-The reports
of brokers in the local print cloth market
show sales this week OF nearly 275,000
pieces, of which $4,000 were extras. The
odd counts that have been sold were of the
wide rather than the narrow variety, and
the general business was better than for
a few weeks past. The feature OF the
week was the sale of regular siXtyfour
squares Thursday, when something like
rs, 600 pieces were disposed of. The amount
was not large. but the sales were import
ant, because they showed that the buyers
were ready to come Into the local market
once more About 10000 pieces Of the
regulars went Yesterday the sales OF
odds were steady, for there seemed an in
crease OF interest in them to come with
the demand for regulars. The figures for
odds are still below the standard price for
regulars, ga cents, the range being about
Is cent. Most OF the regulars were taken
within a month. The great activity of the
week is another evidence of the wisdom
of the policy OF the selling committee of
the local combination. Other markets have
sold below 2 3-4 cents, the price to which
the committee agreed. when ii made the

Throughout Japan the greatest desire
prevails TO make a thoroughly effective
appearance. Over 5000 exhibitors have ap-
piled for space, though, unfortunately, not
more than half of them will be able to put
IN an appearance, owing to the inability
OF the exhibition authorities to grant suffi-
cient room from the limited area at their
disposal. 1t consequently became neces-
sary TO take steps to secure the best, and,
for this reason, Mr.. Hayashi has hurriedly
returned TO Japan, in order to give the
aid OF his judgment and good taste TO the
committee appointed 10 make the selec-
tion.
In his absence Mr.. Kashiro Saito the as
sistant commissioner for Japan, is looking

confined TO lines which are peculiar

larly excels. Thus furniture, decora-
ton, SILK fabrics, and other artistic ar
ticles viii abound. The Japanese depart
ment Of mines is preparing complete col
lection OF all japanese minerals; the de-
partment of forestry will exhibit Similar
collection of all native woods and seeds; the
fisheries department will exhibit an aquar-
water fish, especially such as are peculiar
10 Japan, such as the red carp and the
three tailed fish
The Japanese national pavilion will be in
the Trocadero Gardens close to the pavil-
ions of British India, Egypt. and the Bel
gian Congo. 1t will be in the classic style
of japanese architecture that is TO say
the style which prevailed in the seventh
century. To the left of the pavilion will be
a typical tea house, where 'geishas" viii

articles of japanese manufacture will be
sold. In another building the japanese
alcoholic drink sake will be dispensed tc

The simple, yet handsome, national pa
vilio1 will be furnished with all that is
Oldest most beautiful, and artistic of the
treasures in the palaces of Japan. After
much hesitation the great mobiles decidsd
10 follow the example set by their Emperor
and TO place al the disposal of the commits
sioners all the works of art which they
might choose TO select. In order that this
might be done these works have been sent
to Tokyo and a special artistic committee
appointed TO make the selection. for the

to see gathered together the priceless
treasures which probably no European eye
has ever gazed on before. for even the most

Everything is already in a very advanced
condition, and there is every prospect that
