The Function of the Public School.

1t is cold day and very little doing
when some "reformer' doesn't come
forward with a new subject to be
taught in the public schools. The three
Rs are already buried under such a
multitude of side issues in many city
schools that it takes considerable dig
ging to find them. Every one with a
fad is anxious to have it taught in the
public schools, usually with a glorious
disregard of the elementary branches
that lie at the foundation of a practical
education. The latest suggestion is
that 1.-The principles of health and
sanitation" be taught in the public
schools No doubt a knowledge of
these principles would be a good thing
for the "rising generation" but they
should be impaired outside of the
schools. In general way the public is
coming to understand the whole subject
of antiseptics and sanitation much bet
ter than formerly. The best way to i'm
part such knowledge to the rising gen.
GRAFTON will be to lay securely the
foundations of an education which will
make for general mental development
and research. Temperance, music,
art, sanitation, all have a place in the
higher education of the present day;
but the public schools are not con-
cerned with the higher education.
Their function is to inculcate educa-
tional rudiments, and they achieve
their greatest success in doing this
thoroughly and well.

Love is a fire that is dreaded by

Virtue may be it's own reward, but

Some women seem to have mastered

The average man who talks about
not being appreciated is really a chump.
There are people who seem to take
more interest in our affairs than we do
ourselves.
preservation is the first law of
nature, and most women try to look
well preserved.
Some men believe in making others
respect them even if they have to do it
with club.

who has no small vices. He may go to
the other extreme.-Philadelph Rec

The Monuments to Arthur.

Few Presidents have been so liberal
ly COMMUNICATED in marble and bronze
as the late President Arthur. And
this is not because he is generally re-
garded as one of the great men of
American history, but because he had
many loyal personal friends and ad-
mirers. Though not a great man,
Arthur was, nevertheless, an able
man of most amiable personal traits,
always the courteous gentleman, and
his administration was clean and popu-
lar. He was pre-eminently likeable
man possessing an unusual degree of
tact, and rising to the dignity of his
office in a manner that many who have
been deliberately chosen to discharge
its duties have failed to do.
This week a beautiful monument on
the site of President Arthur's birth
place in the little town of Fairfield
Vermont, was unveiled. This makes
three stately memorials which have
been erected in his honor. One of the
others marks his grave in Albany, and
the third is the statue to him in pub
lie place in New York, the city of his
residence. At the dedication of the
Vermont monument, addresses We're
delivered by ex-senator Chandler, who
was secretary of the navy in Arthur's
cabinet, and Robert T. Lincoln, his
secretary of war. 1t is significant of
the rapid passing of our public men
that only five of the Is members of the
Arthur cabinet are now living, and but
one Senator Teller of Colorado, is still
in public life.
With the exception of Washington,
jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant and
Garfield, it is doubtful if any other
President has been SO generously re-
membered in sculpture as Arthur.
Fully one-half of our chief executives
have no public monument, and it is a
national shame that the graves of sew
eral have been left unmarked and
neglected. The new monument on the
spot of President Arthur's boyhood
home is said to be beautiful piece of
work, and Vermont may we'll be proud
of it and of the only son it has had in
the White House.

The yachts will try it again, today,
and If the breeze does not fail them as
it did, Thursday, the third race of the
series for the Americas cup will be
sailed. 1t goes without saying that
everybody believes it will also be the
last race, for thus far the Shamrock
III. has rot given the slightest indica-
ton that it can beat the Reliance, how
ever much to it's liking are the condi-
tons. The two earlier races have been
decisive victories for the defender;
and only the time limit, Thursday,
saved the challenger, which has been
much heralded as a lght-wind won
der, from one of the worst defeats IN
the whole history of the hunt for the
cup. Everybody hopes there will be
sufficient wind today for the compile
ton of the race.

american Importation of Raw Mate
rial"

About $500, 900, 900 worth of materials
for use in American manufactures
were imported during the last fiscal
year. The significance of these figures
are apparent when it is known that
they show the enormous increase of
$74, 100000 over those of the preceding
wear. OF course a considerable por
ton of these imports were to some ex
tent advanced in the process of manu-
facture; yet, so far as this country
was concerned, they represented and
were classed as raw material" This
simply illustrates the fact that one
mans finished product is another
mans raw material. The great bulk of
the work done upon these materials
prior to putting them upon the market
in the form of finished products, was
done in American workshops, by
American labor on the American scale
of wages. How large a factor this was
in the general prosperity of the coun-
try it WOULD be difficult to estimate SO
closely Is one interest related to and
dependent upon another in the modern
organization of society.
In 1890, only 2S per cent. of our total
imports were of raw material for the
use of our manufacturers. Last year
these materials constituted As per cent.
of our total imports. These figures are
a striking proof of the wonderful pros
! perity which our country is now enjoy
ing. and the solid foundations upon
| which it is based.
| Large, however, as is the total of our
| imports of manufacturers supplies,
they do not equal our exports of raw
| materials, and bear but a relatively
small proportion to our total output of
| manufactured products, when COM
pared with the immense annual home
! consumption of the raw materials Sc
cured in our own country.

One of the best things which have

One of the best things which have
been issued bearing upon the races for
the Americas cup is a neat little book
of 100 pages published by the New
York Mail and Express, profusely illus
trated, and containing full accounts of
the memorable race around the Isle of
Wight in 1851, and the various attempts
to lift the cup which have been made
