Golden Stool Has Been the Cause of

The golden stool of Ashahtee's' mon

golden fleece which Jason and the Ar

governor, Sir Frederic Hodgson, to re-

The development Of manual trailing
schools and departments in our high
schools for the study of book keeping,
stenography and other branches con.
nected with clerical work would seem
at first glance to be an unmixed bless
ing. AS pointed out by Supt. Nightin-
gale, of the Chicago schools, the pupils
who complete such courses are ready
to take positions Immediately on leav-
ing school, and become seif-supporting.
The Importance of being equipped by
the State, without cost, for the |inevita-
bic struggle for existence is easily seen,
but such equipment, il granted at all.
should be uniform. TO increase the
number of bookkeepers or stenogra-
pliers In this way is certainly a dis
elimination against the people who are
now making living in such branches
1t Is Uncomfortable that business men
should encourage the growth ofa cIeri-
cal ideal in pupils or a method of pub
lie education that will reduce wages in
particular occupations and apart
from this it is little less than a crime
to teach young men shorthand True,
the study is optional but 1t is O. tempt
ing chance, and since the announce
ment was made great many who have
nofdefnite aims as to the future have
drifted into this practical opportunity
which is SO temptingly placed before
them The youth who knows short

Ing as an amenuensis, and doing mere

sible reward OF which may be a COM.
Portable existence A good stenogra-
pher. Isl TOO valuable to the PROMOTED.
Insta noes might be given in answer to
this, where stenographers have risen
above their positions by the influence
of their employers. There are many
such eases, but they depend ION a spe-
cies Of charity and are exceptional. II

A New York railway man says that
there should be schools for the educa-
ton of engineers, firemen and other
railway workers. While it is true that
railroad work can only be finally mas
tered In practice, the suggestion is a
good one and applies to other callings
where the members are public or semi
public servants. Schools for motormen
and conductors would no doubt do
much good. In such schools the gem

4 Politicians win scan the census re-

ulation forms the basis of the appor-
tionment of representation in Congress.
Some States will gain aud some will
lose, relatively at least. according to
the measure of growth Of population:
but 1t will be months, probably, before
the, full statistics are tabulated, and q
much longer time before the ratio or
apportionment is settled. The ratio
adopted after the census Of 1890 was
~one Representative to each 3.9O1 Of
the population. TITS resdlted in "a
House of three hundred and fifty-sfx
members; when Utah was admitted the
number was increased one. The use

The present House is not a large body,
as compared with European parliamen-
tary assemblies tits smaller thant the

removed, and benches are provided, af-
ter the British custom. The center of
population was fixed, by the last cen

Columbus, Indiana, 1t had moved
