Educational Questions.

The North American Review has an
article from the pen of Barrett
Wendell, professor of English at
Harvard university, called .'Our Ma
tional Superstition, = in which he COM
pares the munifcence of American edu-
cational foundations to the vast en-
7dowment of religious institutions in the
middle ages. Then, they founded the
churches and cathedrals; now, we found
universities and libraries. .s
It has been Professor Wendell duty
to examine collegians seeking to enter
for degrees at Harvard and he con
fesses that he has found so many Of
them without education that he begins
to doubt the value Of the vast educa-
tional organization of the country. He
says that in all this ttnewer education
from the kindergarten almost to the
degree of doctor Of philosophy the stu
dent is compelled to study nothing. He
is merely allowed to pursue such sub
iects as may interest him. He is en-
tertained and polished, but not educated.
Year by year as the new ideas gain
ascendency the students enter college
"fabbier and fabbier in mind.''
Professor Wendell then 5defnes an
educated man as one who can use his
wits better than an uneducated one
when confronted with new problems
and the writer then asks: "What kind
Of education makes people most fire.
q1ently fit for general purposes9' His
answer is: Honestly answering this
tho I am myself professor of radical
and practical subject, I am bound tc
say that purely practical considerations
go far to justify the old system Of elias
sizes and mathematics, in comparison
with anything newer ...
This review of an old and yet ever
new subject is of especial interest tc
Minnesotans because of recent events
in the University of Minnesota, where
for some time an effort was made tt
supplant the old education with the
the new and to overturn what have beer
| called the "Yale methods In thi:
battle the "Yale methods prevailed.
And here, comes Professor Barrett
Wendell Of. Harvard contending thai
after all the old education is the better
for practical purposes! Professor
Wendell's position, perhaps, represent
the beginning Of the swing Of tn,

a Significant Neglect.

The Duluth News-Tribune demanded
the publication of the johnson reports
in a column editorial. When they were
made public, the News-T Tribune gave
them half column of space, a half
column of editorial reply, and then pub
lished Mr.. Dunn s answer in full, COW
ering five columns.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press also de-
manded the publication Of the reports,
but gave them less than column when
made available. Mr.. Dunn's reply
took ten columns Of space Monday, and
Tuesday followed a column editorial
and column Of interviews in Mr..
Dunn 8 defense.
The Minneapolis Tribune made a
similar record, publishing a column on
the reports and ten columns of the re-
ply.
If the reading public depended on
these papers for it's information, the
reports would not be public yet, and
people would wonder what Mr.. Dunn IS
reply was all about.
A newspaper prints the news; an
organ suppresses it.
The only reason for suppressing the
news is the fear that it will injure the
organs candidate. The failure Of Mr.
Dunn g newspaper supporters to publish
the reports is most serious reflection
on the candidate 8 record.

Protection for the Generous.

The Merchants association Of San
Francisco is very live institution. 1t
cuts large figure in the affairs Of the
city, political and sociological as we'll
as commercial. One service which that
association renders to it's members that
has been much appreciated by them is
the establishment of what is known
as the charities Endorsement commit
tee.
About two years and a half ago the
business men Of San Francisco found
themselves 50 frequently the victims of
their own generous disposition and the
unscrupulous methods of professional
beggars that they undertook to protect
themselves against imposition. They
did it by creating this Endorsement
committee, which issues a card to all
the members Of the association, which
announces In large poster type that
this establishment is member of the
association and contributes to no char
ity not Endorsed by the special commit
tee. When a solicitor for charitable
purposes enters the office, his atten-
ton is at once directed to this an
nouncement, and unless he can present
card showing that he has the approval
Of the Endorsement committee no at
tention is paid to his request.
The Merchants Association Review
prints a page Of testimonials from
business mon expressing how much
they appreciate this arrangement, an
arrangement which protects them from
imposition, relieves them from all re-
sponsibility of Investigating the merits
of the numerous propositions presented
to them, and makes the giving of aims
thoroly scientific affair. These bust
ness men say they would not be with
out this protection for many times
what it costs them, and that the effect
of it has been to practically kill of
all fraudulent solicitors.
The extent to which the public il
imposed upon by canvassers for osten
sibly charitable institutions certainly
iustifes some such means Of protec
tion as this, and recent experience il
Minneapolis indicates that there is neet
Of it here as much as anywhere. 1t il
probably not generally suspected, bu
it is nevertheless true, that there are
people who are in the business regu
larly of soliciting for charitable insti
tutions. They engage to raise none,
for them on a percentage basis, ever
on very high percentage, SO that tn,
contributor is sometimes, when donat
ing $40 presumably to the uses of tn,
institution itself, really giving So O
it to the canvasser. Such cases hav
been known in this city recently. I'm

chants association in San Francisco

deal of that kind. The canvassers ma,

sons why they should be compensated

1.-The Morning After. -

Alas, for the sanguine candidate and
his estimate. The prophecies of yes
terday-where are they9 za
Flushed with the heat of the contest,
surrounded by loyal friends, hearing
nothing but good news, every candidate
who was on the primary ballot had
rosy view Of the prospect yesterday.
If he had no good news he made a
good bluff; but, as a rule, the candi-
date more than half believed the fig
ures he gave out. He had "reports''
of some kind from every ward and
knew just how he was running. He
counted the ballots as the voters
dropped them in the boxes and knew
just how many were marked for him.
Today he knows better. The sad dis
enchantment Of the "morning after"
has come. In the cold, gray dawn the
tellers checked off the figures that
spelled defeat and withered the rosy
hopes Of yesterday. In the light of
the cold facts, the candidate realizes
that he did not know anything about
it. The successful men may think they
knew, but they were only making a
good guess. The fact is, nobody knew
what the voter was doing. Behind the
curtain, by the dim light Of the can
die, the voter scanned the long sheet
and sat in judgment on the names
printed there. Often he had waited
until that moment to make up his
mind; sometimes at the last minute he
changed his intention and voted for
the "other fellow.' No other mortal
knew what he did until the boxes were
opened and the aggregate result was
learned. Then the candidate knew that
| the handshake or the friendly letter
did not always land the vote.
The candidates. confidence is one of
| his assets. If he cannot keep up his
bluff, he might as we'll give it up and
stay at home. He must claim every
thing, whether he has it or not, but he
can do it with a much better grace
if he believes it; so most candidates
practice little -hypnotism and con
vince themselves that they are win.
ners. The rest of us are amused, but
not convinced, by this confidence. We
can forgive the extravagant claims of
the candidate, knowing that he will
learn the truth soon enough.
Having nothing but charity for the
disappointed, we will forbear a com
parison of their estimates with the
results printed today.

Favorable Labor Conditions.

The September bulletin ( Of the New

over the end of April when II per cent
We're idle. The winter months always
show the largest percentage Of idleness

Fast summer remarkable activity in
construction work.

entire country manifest similar improve
ment, according to the latest statistics
collected by the American Federation

members of 1882 local unions making
returns for July, 1.6 per cent only were
without employment at the close of the

COURTING A GIRL IN SPAIN.

Counting in Spain is conducted on prin-
ciples that might almost be described as
unique. The Spanish girl of any attrac-
lions Is almost always attended by a
young man who is known as her novio
and who has the privilege of squirting her
on her walks, altho by a singular anomaly
no formal engagement exists. So long as
this state Of things continues the young
lady has to be loyal and obedient to her
gallant. But he may cease his attentions
and at any time and openly transfer his
attentions to some other lady. Altho the
advantages of such a custom are all on
the side of the male, very few Spanish
girls would care to be without a novio,
however tickle.
