BRITISH VS.. AMERICAN SCHOOLS.

The difference in the facilities for 6
technical education between this coun-
try and England is popularity supposed
to be in favor of the latter. The facts
seem to be, however, judging from the
statements of London publication de-
voted to engineering and kindred pur-
suits, that British institutions where
sciences are taught are lamentably de-
ficient compared to similar schools on
this side of the water. While, on the
whole, facilities are ample for elemen-
tary training, advanced work is being
carried on in few English institutions.
In England the average length of a
course in a technical school is three
years, in America 1t is four and each
year the standard of admission is being
raised higher. Pupils admitted to Eng
u lish schools average about Is years of
3age, while here the average is 16 years.
YThe number of English students OF
technology is greater than here but re-
suits in the form of high-class engin-
GERS are nevertheless in favor of the
American student.
The output of high-class engineers
from English schools, while small, is
still in excess of the demand In Amer
lea, the high-class schools are unable
to supply the demand for qualified
graduates. I'm the case of a Massachus-
etts school, the number of applications
from manual turers for graduates is so
great that every one is provided with
an eDgagenlent before he completes his
acour}s be. In England most of the stu
tents find some difficulty in getting
situation at all, and even then get eth
Ger no pay whatever or none to speak
fof, for considerable period. The Beth
5lehem (Pa.) Steel Company employed
corps of students to conduct series
of Investigations, the result of which
was great reduction in their force OF

PAVING THE WAY.
Russia's Methods In Manchuria Likely
to Cause Trouble.

London, March S.-Edward NJ
4 O'Brien, of Des Moines, Ia, has re-
turned to London from Manchuria
4 where he has been representing Japan
csc and American shipping interests
Mr.. O'Brien stated yesterday that the
Russian occupation of the Chinese
northeastern province is becoming
more complete, and that only warlike
measures on the part of Great Britain
and Japan, backed up morally by the
United States, are likely to alter the
situation.
Every individual Russian, like the
government at st. Petersburg, heartily
sympathizes with the secret Russian
purpose to rnonopolize Manchuria, and
does everything in his power to further
that object" he said. 1T would be i'm
possible throuout the whole world to
find a place more hostile to foreigners
than Manchuria, under Muscovite rule
British, Japanese and American citi-
zens are especially spotted. The Rus
slams fear their energy and commercial
talents. If citizen of one of these ma
tionalities, attempts to open shop, Of
flee or warehouse, he is asked an ex-
orbitant rent, and so many onerous
conditions are imposed on him that he
generally prefers to abandon the coun-
try.
The Russians think it quite proper
to steal from foreigners. Even ones
baggage is in danger from the rapacity
of railway station servants. Indeed, my
trunks We're stolen by an official of
some distinction, but he was caught
red-handed and forced to surrender his
booty. Admiral Alexieff's engineers are
building forts turnout the length of the
trans -Manchurian railway, and fortify-
ing the chief strategic points in the
province.
mo Russian in Manchuria admits
for moment that the territory will
ever be restored to China, and their
persuasion seems to rest on solid
basis. The government at ST Peters
burg is constantly sending more colo
nists and troops into the country.
Meanwhile the Jaapnese are watching
the situation with acute interest, and
an explosion might occur in the far east
at any time"

New York, March S.-That the labor

New York Sun and Typographical
Union No. 6 for many years has been
definitely adjusted was admitted this
afternoon by both the business man
ager of the Sun and an official of Big
Six Neither would consent to make
at this time the details of the agree

at a conference between directors of
the Sun and a committee from the
Typogra phical Union No. it was
agreed that the office should be union
lied with the understanding that the
compositors who took the places of the
strikers year ago might remain if
they took out union cords. This is
admitted by union compositors as a
concession on the part of the union, if
not u victory for the publishers of the
newspaper. AT the headquarters of

agreement had been reached
1t is reported on good authority
that Senator Hanna was instrumental
in bringing about settlement.

A MESSENGER OF EVIL.

| Every parent knows the ciemoralzine
/ influence of wicked and immoral COM
panions upon the lives of the young
All parents worthy of the name guard
with jealous watchfulness the associa-
tons of their children. They shut them
away from contact with bad men and
bad women, fearful of the contarnina-
ton such associates carry with them
They hedge about the growing girl OF
the uniformed youth with sleepless and
unremitting anxiety against compan-
ions or conversation that tend toward
DETECTION from purity and morality.
But there is one agent of vice and
decentralization that many parents fail
to fence away from their iiresides. The
influence of bad book is, the apothe-
wicked soul. There are books which
deserve to die that will live forever be-
cause the genius that lights their pages
is an unquenchable torch. There are
books that endure for the hour and at
tract by the phosphorescence of their
putridity. There are still others, lack
ing the brilliance of the ore and the OBJ
scenity of the other, but exceeding eth

their number and commences.
Especially is this true OF fiction. This
is an era of novel reading. Nine tenths
of the books drawn from the public Ii
braries or sold at the stores are works
of fiction, AT the libraries boys and
girls draw them, carry them home to
read and return them, in many instan-
ces, without the parents having ever
seen the title page. The librarians
business is to issue books on properly
accredited cards. so the youthful patron
is practically her or his own censor.
Novels that deal in realism faithful to
those phases and conditions of life that
are kept outside our homes and off the
streets; silly, half vicious stories that
reverse the realities of existence, and
build in the budding mind a romanti-
cism that would be laughable If it were
not dangerous: risque situations and
loose language that faniliarize with
vice; the twisted and distorted analyses
tives and inherent weakness to the sur
face and temporiZe with deprayity; all
these pass in and out of our homes un-
questioned and unchallenged. 1t is in
credible that living companions might
be brought home day after day without
an inquiry in their character and par
entage. But the book with it's mission
of help or hurt passes too often without
Some one has said that the vicious
are most apt in description and appre-
citation of virtue. This is untrue. The |
bad man writes himself into a book. He
can not avoid it. The evil in him ex-
presses itself. No bad man ever wrote

There is no damage of association
more to be feared by the young than

company more to be feared by parents
for their children. Together with the
idle, the dissolute and the vicious, turn
from your door the soul of an evil man
or woman that lives in the book he or
she may have written.

BLIND PREJUDICE AGAINST BANKS.

BLIND PREJUDICE AGAINST BANKS.
One of the strange humors OF tn

churches and schools but when any
measure of public policy comes up in

Ing anything and everything if it is ia

the public.
striking exhibition of the blindness
of this anti-bank prejudice took place
In the Iowa legislature last week when
bill was proposed abolishing the three
days of grace Some one supporting the
bill explained that it had been endorsed
by the state association of bankers
whereupon another member jumped up
with the exclamation that If that was
true he would vote against the bill and
the measure was lost without discus
sion solely because the bankers had en-
dorsed it. Common sense ought to have
told any man that the three days of
grace We're a nuisance in business
transactions a relic of pioneer days
when debtors had to ride long distances
horseback, or travel afoot to the place
of payment of their obligations. The
difficulties of such travel, the crossing
of a swollen stream, the breakdown of
blizzard might prevent the arrival of
the debtor on the day his note was due,
hence the three days of grace, but now
adays banks are scarcely ten miles
apart and drafts can be sent safely by
mail. There is no more use for the
three days of grace than for thirteen
hour clock. Bankers in lending money
charge interest for the three days be-
cause the borrower has that time in
which to pay. If the days of grace were
I abolished man borrowing money for
three months could compute his inter-
est for three months even, instead of
three months and three days as now.
However, plain as this proposition
should be, it was voted down without
discussion because the bankers favored
it.

The New York Sun is authority for
the fact that hundreds of Jews take adj
vantage yearly of the law allowing any
person who chooses to change his name
by giving a reason acceptable to the
courts. Jews of foreign birth wish to
simplify odd-sounding names for bust
ness or other reasons, and these some
times adopt well-known English names
with no Hebraic associations. There
has been a run on Gordon, for instance,
of late years.
