Special educational Copies,

cess in right living, especially in
childhood.
The thief and criminal were not
born such. What makes one thief,
another a murderer, and so on
through the catalogue of crime! 1t
is generally bad environment caus-
ed by poverty. The rich by nature
are no better than the poor, but
they have not the temptation to
steal, having plenty without.
Wealth is a civilizer, it rehnes the
mind by education and those ele-
giant surroundings that only money
can buy. Even the birds recognize
this influence when they select the
cos1est corners under that cave of
roses, and amid the softened light
of the rose leaves to build and rear
their young in the sweet, quiet air
of it's peaceful nest.
Permanently of environment is
most important. Character de-
ponds upon ideals and the materials
out of which our ideals are formed
we get from what we read and the
lives around us. BY carefully pre-
senting boys and girls all that is
best in literature, history and biog-
raphy, we may form a standard for
them toward which they may work,
even before they realize it them
selves.
The purpose of the American
public school is to make citizens
capable of living under a form of
self government.
An important physical condition
of easy control is pleasant school
room and attractive surroundings. |
Our Superintendent and Board OF
Directors recognized this when they
conceived the idea and influenced |
the erection OF our beautiful new
building. The school building and
grounds are always the reflection of
the taste and culture of the people,
and this one is truly in harmony
with the bright and pleasant homes
of our town. Every clean, cheerful
room, each piece OF newly polished
furniture and each beautiful picture,
fresh curtain or growing plant, is
an incentive to good lessons and
beautiful conduct.
Mr.. Moore, in speaking of the
environment of birds, asks, "What
is song?" and goes on to answer:
Character, heart, brain. The 1nfu-
ence of that which is good and the
exercise of that influence.
If we keep a healthy heart and
brain, and year after year, and gen
Grafton after generation, keep on
adding loftlness to loftlness, and
strength to strength, and all under
the influence of peace and truth
and happiness and virtue, what's
the reason a cat bird wont be hatch
ed some day that will have all these
in him so strongly developed that
he will burst out IN song as sweetly
as the hooking bird ever did. We
may not be able to transform a cat |
bird into a hooking bird, but results
almost as startling may be accom-
plished. M1TTIF CAYcE.

WHY DO WE EDUCATE.
W. place an artificial restri,

W. place an artificial restriction
upon our field of usefulness if we
limit our educational work to the
school room only. Education is
universal. 1t is a common property
and a common heritage. Men differ
on other subjects, but when it comes
to education there is no conflict, no
difference. 1t unites instead of di-
vides. Thinking of education from
this point of view we may expect
some visible results from our work,
We educate in order to develop
honesty of purpose in the lives of
boys and girls. Honesty of purpose
is a dedication of our best energies
TO advance all that is for the up
building morally and financially of
our city. 1t is to outline for our
selves a definite line of action and
then follow that line OF action with
out fear or favor.
An eminent educator has said:
There is no quality that gives SO
much dignity to character as con-
sistency of conduct" Then again
we educate in order to develop
strong moral characters. Plato
said, Youth should be kept a
stranger to all that is bad, espec-
tally things that tend toward vice
or hate. The short intermission

And thro' deaths silent waves thy

And basking in the light of Bethle'

Thy weary feet hath found sweet

Which grew and ripened as the years

With sweeter fruitage, till death

Beyond LIES restless tide, beyond the

Beyond the ether blue there is a

There is no death, "the white and

That kisses down the lids" and stills

Is but an emblem Of eternal rest
God gives to those who are of Him

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Albany IN. " Argus Dem
says: President Mckinley. a man of
temperate habits, died, and King Ed
ward, who has not prided himself on
the possession of any virtues to speak
OF, is getting better. Really there is
food for reflection in this thought and
the rakes no doubt join heartily in
the toast, Long Live the King"
The Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep) says:
IF, as a result of the failure of the
United States to keep faith with Cuba
in regard to reciprocity, the insular
government is compelled to reduce ex-
penditures for education or sanitary
purposes Senator Elkins will no doubt
regard it as additional proof of the
incapacity of the natives for self-gov-
eminent"

This is a peaceful nation. The APP

just concluded gave to agriculture lin

cost IL we were Warlike?"
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
An embarrassing situation has arisen
in Kansas, where the Republican NOM
mated by the Democrats for the office
of state superintendent of public in
struction has announced that he is no
longer a populist and intends here
after to act with the Republican party.
AS the greater part of the Democratic
nominees in Kansas are Republicans
of the Populistic persuasion, it is pos
sible that there will be other defections
from the ticket and it may be neces-
sary to call new convention. Most
of the Populists have left the Republic
can party for the reason that it did
not seem to be living up to its time
honored principles in the matter of
giving something in the nature of
law or an appropriation to every lusty
beggar who applied for government as
sistance. Anyone who has kept an eye
on the present Congress will under
stand why the Populistic brethren are
withdrawing from Democratic tickets
and associations. Even silver has had
something done for it."

New Scientific Discoverie.

When Lord Raleigh announced that
the air contained other gases be-
sides those which had for long been
known to enter into its composition,
there was for the moment a gasp of
almost incredulous surprise, says
American Medicine. If anything were
well known by chemists, surely 1t was
the composition of the air. One new
constituent suggested, however, the
gas argon, was proved by many OBJ
serVations to have a real existence
"A little later other elements, some of
them hitherto unknown, were found to
exist in appreciable quantities in the
atmosphere. Among them was the gas
OF the metal helium. Ramsay and
Travers have recently devoted their at
tention to five new gases in the air
These are, besides argon and heliurn,
neon, crypton and zenon. The
chemic relations of these sub
stances are now being determined.
and their atomic weight varies from
that of helium, which is 4, upoo that of
xenon, which is 1873 The lesson of the
unexpected discovery of these sub
stances would seem to be that the
truly scientific mind must hold it
self in constant readiness for the ac-
the most unanticipated directions
Our knowledge of the ingredients of
remedial mineral waters is certainly
not nearly as complete as our knoWl-
edge of the air was supposed to be
before the discovery of these new
gases. The mystery of the differ
ence in therapeutic effect between
genuine natural mineral waters taken
at their source and artificial prepara-
tons supposed to represent them COM
pletely may very we'll be due to the
fact that our analytical knowledge of
the substances dissolved in the min
eral waters is as yet incomplete It
seems clear, too, that other mysteries
OF therapeutics may be due to such
incomplete analytical knowledge There
remains many important questions
with regard to which careful clinical
observation and an attitude of expec-
fancy, rather than satisfaction with
present knowledge, may well prove
the source of precious progress in
practical medicine,

A STEEL KINGS PALACE.

Million dollar mansions are following
close in the wake of billion dollar
trusts. Our multi millionaires cannot
have titles, but they can own and live
i'll palaces which rival those of kings
and princes. 1t has not been so very
long since Mr.. Carnegie's residence on
Fifth avenue, New York. was the won-
der of that city. Now it seems that
Charles M. Schwab, the president of
the Billion Dollar Steel Trust, is to
have a residence on Riverside Drive
that will be even finer than that of
Mr.. Carnegie. Plans for it are now be-
ing prepared, and it is expected that
it win be completed by Christmas of
next year.
The ground on which this mansion Is
to be built cost nearly 1000, 900 and
the house is to cost $780, 900. The cost
of the palace, when 1t is finished and
the furniture for it is provided, will.
in all probability be not far from $4,-
100000. That amount is a large for
tune. even in these times of great for
tunes.
To live in such a house will cost a
fortune every year. The taxes alone
would be sufficient to maintain in
comfort so families of the class denom-
mated as plain people. From all ac-
counts. however, Mr.. Schwab can af-
ford 100000 a year for living ex-
penses. Perhaps he spends more than
that amount now upon himself and
family.
The thought is thrown out every once
in a while that the exhibitions of
wealth by our millionaires and multi
n:illionaires will have the effect of
causing discomfort among those who
have not been fortunate in accumulat-
ing surplus of this worlds goods,
and that the discomfort will show it,
self in disregard for the rights of
property. There have always been dis
contented people and always will be.
1t is better that the rich should spend
their money than to hoard it. When 1t
is spent many get the benefit of it.
And it is probable that it is a wiser
plan to distribute wealth by affording
employment to those who need il than
to increase the pauper class by indis-
criminate giving to charity

While some with talents ten begun,
He started out with only one
with this he said, "Pll do my best,
And trust the Lord to do the rest"
His trembling hand and fearful eye.
Gave forth a world of sympathy.
When all alone with one distressed
He whispered words that claimed that
breast,
And little children learned to know,
When grieVed and troubled, where to
go.
He loved the birds, the flowers. the
trees
And, loving him, his friends loved
these.
His homely features lost each trace
OF LONELINESS. and in his face
There beamed a kind and tender light
That made surrounding features
bright.
When illness came he smiled at fears.
And babe his friends to dry their
tears.
He said. "Good-y." and all confess,
He made of life a grand success.

IRREspoNsIHLE FIANCIE.ING.

1t is evident from the manner In
which the newspapers are criticisine
the appropriations made by Congress
at its recent session that the question
of extravagant appropriations is going
to play an important part in the con-
gressional elections. The total of the
direct appropriations is a great deal
more than the estimated revenues for
the present fiscal year, the amount of
these appropriations being $500, 1881,
while the estimated revenues are only
500, $50, $50. But the direct appropria-
tons are not the only appropriations
that were made at the recent session.
There were numerous continuing con-
tracts authorized. They are what may
be called promissory notes of the gov
eminent and will have to be paid
some time. They amount to 1888, 1873, =
215, making the total appropriations
of the session $1O59, 577, 052.
1t is apparent that unless there were
a big surplus in the treasury there
would be a deficiency at the end of
the fiscal year. At the end of the
last fiscal year that is, on June 80,
$20S, $50 O22. So it will be seen that
there is no danger of a deficiency.
But is it wise to use up the entire
surplus in one year? Would there
have been such extravaganza in maxi
ing appropriations if there had not
been such a large surplus? 1t is safe
to say there wouldn't. One way to
prevent extravaganza then is for the
people to insist, when the revenues ex-
coed the needs of the government,
upon reduction of the taxes.
Congress at it's last session did take
off about 100000 900 annually of in
ternal revenue taxes. 1t could not be
induced, however, to touch the tariff
taxes. And why? Simply because the
tariff taxes which the people want
reduced afford protection to trusts,
which are, in effect, monopolies, which,
on account of the protection they re-
ceive, are able to exact enormous
prices for their products. These trusts
make the domestic consumers of their
products pay higher prices for such
products than are obtained from for
.eign consumers.
The facts relative to extravaganza
in making appropriations and the fail
ure to put a check on trusts by re-
ducing the tariff, will be made clear
to the people during the congressional
campaign. If they do not open their
eyes to the necessity of giving the
Democrats control of the House we
shall be very much mistaken.

Two or three months ago Aere were
about four chaplaincies in the army
that were vacant, and for which va
cancies there were more than 100 ap-
plications At that time II was re-
marked from several sources that the
number of preachers was greater than
the demand for their services. Now,
however, we learn from the Hartford
Conn., Times that leaders IN sew
eral religious bodies are starting an
active campaign for an increase of
students in theological seminaries. ut
is found" says the Times, that not
enough are graduating TO fill Vacan-
cies, not to mention any available men
for growth. Leaders who want to
improve matters are pointing out that
never before were salaries higher,
gifts larger or opportunities greater"
Continuing the Times points out that
the number of young men who will
or seminaries ana colleges for &C.
clesiastaical training the coming fall
is exceedingly small. What Is the
cause? Has the church ceased to be
so attractive to young men as here
tofore? But if, three months ago,
there were a hundred applications to
fill four army chaplaincies, how can it
be there is scarcity of young
preachers?
