The ball at McBurney's Hall last
night under the auspices of the Alex

the officers and their friends through

The music was excellent, and those hav-

comfort of any who attended. During
the evening Mayor Simpson and seVera
other city officials visited the hall.

And it will be the most interesting of
the present season. We shall be too
busy after this week to give our atten-
ton to remnants. And as every foot OF
shelf and counter and floor space is
needed for the proper display OF our
magnificent stock of Gift Goods, which
already surpasses anything heretofore
attempted. we have decided to make
short work Of all remnants. To this end
we have thoroughly ransacked every
stock in the house and separated there
from everything that savors of a rem
nant. Many an odd bit of silk, or rib
bon. or velvet, or lace, &C., may be
found which can be made use Of for
Christmas. Numerous odd pieces of
china, bric-a brac, cut glass, &c. Scores
of useful lengths in dress goods-ends
of the choicest fabrics-suitable for wo-
mems dresses, skirts, and waists and
children's dresses, at half and less than
half former prices. Wrap, Suit, Linen,
Upholstery-in fact, every department
in the house presents rare buying OPP
portunities. With the remnants we will
offer several bargain lots of goods-we
never say bargain" except on Friday
some of which were purchased for the
occasion others are goods reduced in
price for one reason or another. A
goodly collection of remnants of worthy
goods in broad and immediate demand,
at specially reduced prices-prices which
should clear them out quickly and COM
pletely.

MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOLS.

HE HERALD takes pleasure in en-
dorsing unreservedly City School
Superintendent ChriStensen's PROPOSE
ton for the establishment of manual
training departments in connection
with the eighth grade schools. There
is so much to be said in favor of the
plan that one wonders where to begin
and when to leave off. The trend of
modern education. especially of COM
mon school education, is to give young
people fair groundwork in mathemat-
les, in history, perhaps a dip into lit
erature and dash of grammar.
All of these studies have their prac-
teal value. but they have a tendency
to make young people despise manual
labor. That is TO say. boys get the
notion that it is better to earn $12 a
week as bookkeepers or clerks than to
earn twice as much as carpenters and
bricklayers. The toll that brings the
sweat to the face is looked upon as
in a. sense degrading. And the pity
of it is that the boys never find out
their mistake until it is too late.
Almost the same thing is true of
the girls. They learn to dislike house
hold work. In il they can see moth
ing but a ceaseless round of drudgery.
They never stop to think that. as MIR.
Christensen so well says. there is a
science in cooking and an art in both
cooking and sewing, and that the truly
cultured woman should know some
thing about each" OF course, no girl
wants 10 spend her life in a kitchen or
at a sewing machine, but if she knows
how to spend few hours at each prof
itably every day she knows the secret
OF a happy home.
From Mr.. Christensen's statement of
the case, The Herald understands that
the installation of manual training de-
partments viii not involve an excess
i've expenditure. Certainly the small
outlay will be more than rewarded in
the betterment of the children. 1t Will
not be possible to transform them
from raw apprentices into first-rate
brickmasons and blacksmiths and car
penters and cooks and seamstresses.
but it viii be possible to instiu into
them 8 wholesome respect for these
calIings.
No boy or girl Is hurt by having
something on which 10 fall back in
time of need. The young man who
can earn good living with his hands
need never be afraid that want will
oVertake him or his. The young wo-
man who can make the fewest things
last the longest time is accomplishing
great deal more than the girl who
can play the Schubert serensda Mind

Booker T. Washington could not secure
