PouTi-vxu, April 17, 1SS4.
April has been remarkable for good and
perhaps overabundant rains that give the
whole coast a grand crop outlook such
as has not been general for yearf.
TIu weather has been teasonablo aud
every farmer, far and near, has a right to
anticipate abundance, whether that
means prosperity will depend on prices
to bo received. IZmA of the Caicades

winter's frost but elsewhere than in those
localites the prospect of orchards is
simply immense. They are now bloom
ing niul such full bloom if we havo
suitable ucather afterwards, must gho
us nn enormous fruit crop.
The wheat market is dull x that
quotutions are merely nominal, but even
at thnt they are lower than they were
and 1.I0147A is the range from
Eastern to Valley. Tho future shows
morn doubt than over existed in the past.
Onts are not overabundant and range

Potatoes drop to 45c, Iwcau-o the de
mand is limited and tho supply is not.
Onions bring a full price, from 23Jc,
and ttocks are small.
Provisions havo a dull time of it, with
a recent large arrival from tho East that
canio to a ioor market.
There is verv little good fruit left in
the country, and what there is brings all
it is worth, and quality governs price.
Dried fruits are in limited ttock, and de
mand is moderate,
ltuttcr ehows a good demand for choice

Tie JJmltaaona of Coaucoa School Training.
Thf nnrrwe of a school education is
to train children for the inevitable
struggle for life, to add to the home
education certain attaiments which in
most cases, canot le acquired at home,
and, at the same time, to strengthen
the phyisical and moral powers. For
this it is that children are sent to school
by all except the, it is to be feard,
numerous class who send them simply
that they may be "out of the way." It
is because of the supposition that schools
do train the young for the pursuits of
life that the ritate, desirous of obtaining
a many good citizens as possible, sup
ports the public schools.
The pursuits of life are as various as
are the capacities of children, and it is
obviously impossible that anything in
the nature of a technical education can
be given at the grammar school. The
mental education necessary to enable a
child to enter into the struggle with
chances in its favor can bo clas.-ed into
three stages (1) Those acquirements
which it is necessary that all should
learn; (2) those which are necessary
only to those who intend to enter into
pursuits which requiro them; (3) the
technical education for tho pursuit it.-clf.
The third is attained by apprenticeships,
and certain important iodustres may be
to a limited extent taught in special
schools ; but it does not come within the
scope of the ordinary public schools.
The second or higher education is the
business of the high schools and of
colleges, where young people can go who
have already mastered t hoe things which
all must learn to acquire the futher
knowledge needed by all who enter the
nrotessions and what may be called
scientific trades. In tho ordinary' public
school', which all, whether they are
likely to be laborers or artists, doctors or
draymen, are expected to attend, snouiu
be taugllt only uioso tilings wnicu every
lmman being livingin a civilized country
ought to know.
This necessary knowiedtre inciuues
tho ability to speak, read and write the
English language with an approach to
correctness, a goou grounumg in jiniii
luetic, a little drawing, and an outline in
geography and of the physical sciences,
inclndint: human nhysiolov and hygiene.
Above all, the reading, writing and arith
metic should 1)0 cared for. itliout
these it is iiiij)05sible to acquire higher
knowledge; with these thoroughly im
planted in the brain, the day-laborer who
has tho inclination or tho opportunity
can, at any time in his life, improve his
mental status. Of what use is it to a boy
or girl to leam from text-book as a
miscellaneous assortment oi Historical or
scientific facts when he or she cannot
write n letter, tako notes from nnnddress,
add correctly a column of figures, or even
read understamlingly any but the most
simplo looks?
The scientific knowledge that should be
riven in tho public schools is not by any
means a coiuve in botany, chemistry or
astronomy ; slill less a succession oi doses
from a text-look on natural philosophy.
It is such a series of well chosen oral and
object lessons as will teach tho bioader
facta resisting the order of tho universe
of which no form a part, anu make an
acquainted with their own structure
sultiriontly to give them a guido for life
conduct- To giv such a coarse, now
over, requires teachers more efficient
than those whoso stock of information Is,
like that of their pupils, drawn from a
text-book only. Ijcchange,
Tho French have succeeded in Ton-
auin and havo driven the Chinese from
achninh, and tho French government
will make thoChineso government pay a
heavy indemnity for aid rendered the
Anamite.
