THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.
What should be taught in our
public schools forms a matter of
great interest to every citizen, and
a question, too, tha is receiving a
great deal of discussion at present.
It is acknowledged by all who
have thoroughly investigated the
matter, that the prent curriculum
of study lacks the elements that it
should possess to. w e, the practical
, training for busitests occupations.
Or at least that tbJ system could
be so amended ai to achieye
greater results in t'rfSStion
than are now realised.
The. Forum jp'opOfiins another ar-
' tide upoalthis subject, in which
the jyiiter Ws directly to the
gblnt. He,ys in one place that
jthe schoo' ought also to give the
aveiftErpiipil a little arithmetic
and a little geography. As for
geography, it might ajmost be
said the less the better. It is con
venient and necessary to know
something about one's own coun
try; also to know that the earth is
round, and to have some general
idea of countries abroad. As for j
geographical details, it is sheer
waste of time to learn them. If
one-quarter ot the time that is
the time that
tment in learning minutue about j already spoken of for the various
inaccessible regions and outland- j county offices, it is certain an old
ish towns were employed judi- j time, upright ticket of sober, solid
cioasly, the child would have just j men be placed in the field.
as practical a kuowledge ot the
world, and would have three -
quarters of his time left to put to
more profitable uses. The criti -
. , . -u ;
cism to be passed on arithmetic is,
that while it disciplines tne pupil's
mind, it is usually taught in such
a way that it has to be all learned
over again before it is available for
practical uses. A boy will know
now to "do sums" in his book, but
that is no indication that ho could
take the first step or make the
first figure toward solving the
same problem in a store or an
office. The instruction he has re
ceived has lacking the conpling
pin that binds the school-room
and practical life into one train.
Undoub edly there is truth and
grounds for these remarks and
they should be acted upon. On
the point of industrial education,
the same article says: "The
ground, however, on which indus
trial education is
more cenerallv
advocated is its
economic ad van-
tages and the practical preparation j
it affords for
tions of adult
the actual
life. This is dis
cussed so much at preseut, and is j
c ?i.t.1l?fnMf on.wi.on.ld that I
a lengthened statement of it here j
would be out of place. It will I
sufiice to say that there is work
enough in the world for the men
.who know how to do it. The uien
who are always wanting' a job, aie
the men who could not do it if
they had it. School days are the
time for boys and girls to be ac
quiring the elements of industrial
knowledge. We must steadily re
member how the large majority of
them will, half a dozen years
hence, be situated. These matters
must be judged from their circum
stances, not ours. Life cannot be
with them primarily a matter of j
culture, out a matter ui ureau,
and a matter of having sense and
skill to earn it ; and the school
room is the place to acquire the
alphabet of that skill. Of 2,100
inmates of a certain prison, ninety-five
per cent, had learned no
trade. Industrial ignorance is the
mother of idleness, the grand
mother of destitution, and the
great-grandmother of socialism
and nihilistic discontent. So far
as the battle of life is concerned,
to train children's ideas without
training their fingers is like putting
a regiment through musket -drill :
it is healthy discipline and affords
pleasant dress-parade, but will
avail little before the enemy unless
with all their other acquisitions,
they have learned to shoot."
It is sometliitig of a , curiosity to
examine some of the old platform
planks and observe the change of
base, entirely without grounds
under any plea of change of cir
cumstances, that have grown into
the present formulation of party
behests. For instance, a Califor
nia paper digs up this plank in the
democratic platform of that state
in 18S67 relative to the tariiJ' ques
tion : "Resolved, That the present
tariff on wool, prepared by a re
publican commission, appointed
by a republican president, is an
unjust discrimination against a
great industry; and we denounce
the same and demand a restoration
of the tariff of-1367." Now, in
stead of returning to the 1867
tariff, which was considerably
higher than the present tariff, the
democratic position is to place
wool on the free list, and Congress
man Biggs, of California, who was
positively pledged against any re
duction of the tariff on wool, says
he will vote to place it on the free
list if his party leaders say so.
There is one method of reducing
the surplus in the treasury that
would not only be highly success
ful and meritorious, but would
also give satisfaction to every
patriotic citizen of the country, no
matter what his previous condition
of party affiliation might have
been, and that is a more thorough
and systematic reduction of the
public debt, by buying in and can
celling the government bonds, ir
respective of their present holdings
or influence upon individuals,
banks or corporations.
The Alta says that the telegraph
brings the news that the sarcopha
gus containing the body of Alex-
j ander the Great has been discovered
at Saida, a Syrian town on' the
Mediterranean sea. Before many
weeks no dime museum in the
United States will be complete
without the only original mummy
of the Great Alexander as one of
its leading attractions.
By reference to the report of the
meeting of the republican county
central committee published this
morning it will be seen that the
republicans have gone quieily
