have the public aehoola of the city
represented at the fair, for the edu
cational facilities of a city I one of
the moet important considerations t!w
actuate eastern families when looking
for home in the west. 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

certainly ought to b-gin at home.
If 10 pr cent of ihe money wasted
by the wealthy of New Tork In fool

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

mother would not have to be separat

removed to a hospital; the dead In
