Everyonj can make a living In Clatsop county and the paramount question with many Is, what are tve educational facilities for 'heir children. It Is also gratifying to know, that there ts at 1'ast some lit tle enterprise, displayed In Clatsop county, and if no other exhibit Is made the most nnportant of all will be rep resented In the Astoria public school o 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 It will compare favorably with other school exhibits admits of r.o doubt. Educational exhlbls of this kind are ct more than ordinary importance. &s they are an advertis'ment of the edu cational institutions of the county. The Sat le Pot't Intelligencer in an arti cle on school exhibits says: Thers is a tendency among the thoughtless to look uron this train ing as being in the nature of a fad, of ' mor on no rea value to the children and as taking their 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 recognised theory that the natural course In life for the great majority Is to become In time mistress? of homes, a training in the domestic science, which is to be their life work, can scarcely be looked upon aa a fad. While only a portion of the boys will follow mechanical pursule, a knowledge of the use of tools and the ability to handle them will never com amiss to any youth, no matt whatlw r lnc,,ned ,0 tn? bellef lhat chM' UNFORTUNATE POOR. A telegram was published In yester day morning's A Mor tan of a poor wo man with five little children having been found In a starving condition In one or me tenement nouses or rvew Tork. This Is only one of doiens of suvh instances happening every day In the large cities. It Is this condl.lon of affairs that haa a tendency to work up a strong public sentlm nt against spending millions of dollars In foreign missions to care for the souls of the h; a then in foreign lands, while there are thousands of people hre at home starving for the want, not only of food, but spiritual food. It the miliums of dollars annually devoted to the edu-' cation and Christianising of heathens in foreign lands could be used to feed I the hungry and give them a little short. spiritual consolation, our own country and people would be more happy aftd contented and there would be less suf fering. It l no doubt true that the man noble Chris ian men and women en gaged In the work of forign mis sions are deeply Interested and hones! in their work, yet it would seem to be th humanitarian ord.-r If some little time and money were de voted to the alleviation of suffering and destitution in our own country. and leave the. work of educating the heathen to the wealthy foreign nation. The people living In Astoria know very lit .le of the suffering In the lnrg-r cltiss. Her we have no poor, except those that are being cared for by the county. If a poor family Is discover, ed, suffering for the necessities of life, the liberal citizens of Astoria soon re lieve their suffering and In doing so they are doing more and better work in the Lord's vineyard, than If they sent that money to assist foreign mis sions. If there were no starving people In the United States; If there was an op portunity for all the poor children to attend Sunday school and their pa rents' church, and there was surplus money left over, then we would say, send It abroad to help the soul-starv-ina; people of foreign countries, but slons wouM not hMp very many pom people In the east, bu; If all (nut If contributed through this land, there would be many mora happy homes and the world would t brighter and look mor beautiful to those In penury ami want, ... ; 4 . o -.

Is that the put'Hc Is benefitted in full pfopotlon to the expenditur by the manner In which th? standard Of cltizenMp is thus raieed. In the real essen ials of good citizenship the graduates ot today, who are trained to use their nrnds as well as their heads, are better equipped than those who leave hool with the idra that there Is something degrading about manual labor of any kind. It Is better to turn out children with a sound foundation in book education, in whom the ele mentary principles will be productiv of much good In life, than to give them only the rudimentary elements of an education pnd expect them to acquire the higher branches from contact with the world. the city would be crowded every Sun day and ihere would not b? so many vacant pews. If we would convert dui own people first, we would have large ai my and more funds to work among the heathen of foreign lands. Taking t.iii vl: w of the matter, charity certainly ought to b-gin at home. If 10 pr cent of ihe money wasted by the wealthy of New Tork In fool ish extravagance were d"V0ted to ai- hflating the suffering and destitution of the 'poor, there would be no poor families in New Tork, The father would not be compelled to desert bis starving family to find work; the mother would not have to be separat ed from her flv? little children and be removed to a hospital; the dead In fant would have been alive, for there Is no doub; but it starved to death.
