SCHOOLS AND THE FAIR.

Clatsop county will have an exhibit
at the Lewis and Clark fair furnished
by the public schools through the ef.
forts Of the teachers Of Astoria. That
II viii compare favorahly with other
school exhibits admits OF 70 doubt
Educational exhibits Of this kind are CT
more than ordinary importance, as
they are an advertis ment Of the edu-
cational institutions Of the county. The
Seat lie Post Intelligencer In an arti-
Gle on school exhibits says:
There is tendency among the
thoughtless TO look upon this train
ing as being in the nature Of fad, OF
no real value to the children and as
taking thsir time and attention away
from more important subjects. Those
who have studied the matter more
closely are OF the opinion, on the con-
trary. that the resul: OF the training
which the children undergo in these
departments is among the most valu-
able things which they take away with
them when their school years are end
ed. As for the children themselves.
the majority look upon their instruc-
tion in these departments with the
keenest Of interest.
Certainly so far as the girls are con-
cerned, on the recognized theory that
the natural course in life for the
great majority is to become in time
mistressas Of homes, training in the
domestic science, which is to be their
life work. can scarcely be looked upon
as fad. While only portion OF the
boys will follow mechanical pursuits,
a knowledge OF the use of tools and the
ability to handle them will never come
amiss to any youth, no matter what
may be his future vocation in life.
For one thing and with both sexes,
such work az they are called upon TO
do In these departments. and which
they do with keen zest. gives them en-
larged ideas of the dignity Of labor and
a higher respect for the worlds WORK.
ers than is the case with those whose
intellectual faculties are alone con-
sidered worth cultivating and VINO
thus imbibe the idea that a caste line
separates The brain worker from the
hand worker. ~si7E ~5F'
The warrant for maintaining public
schools. at which children of all classes
receive their education at public ex-
-pense. is that the public is benefited
in full pfopoy ton to the expenditur.
by the manner in which the standard
of citizenship is thus raised. In the
real essen ials of good citizenship the
graduates Of today, who are trained 10
use their npnds as well as their heads,
are better equipped than those who
leave school with the idea that there
is something degrading about manual
labor of any kind. 1t is better to turn
out children with a sound foundation
in book education. In whom the ele-
mentary principles will be productive
Of much good in life, than to give them
only he rudimentary elements of an
education and expect them to acquir=
the higher branches from contact with
the world.
