Christmas trcos and cantatas, 'With tho usual appropriate lltorary foaturos, woro hold by tho sovoral ohurchos of tho city, cither Wednes day night or last night. 'On Christmas day trees wore placed In many of tho convalescent wards nt tho asylum, and from them woro dis tributed to tho patients small presents from their friends. Superintendent Calbrcath had purchased a quantity of candles that was placed In small paper sacks, nnd these woro also given to tho patients at the same time. A turkey dinner was served at tho noon hour, and last evening tho attendants gavo an entertainment, including a laughable farce, In tho chapel. At tho prison, Rev. St. Pierre, mis sionary at tho ponltcntlary, gavo a loc 'turo in tho morning. Because of tho sick convicts in tho hospital, that ad Joins the chapel, music was dispensed with. . Tho convicts woro servod at lioon with a frosh pork dinner, Includ ing potntoos nnd othor veKotnblos, and TTio annual report o'f the United States commissioner of education, into !y Issued, goes a good distanco toward answering Dr. Eliot's rather surpris ing charges against tho public schools. While statistics 'enn seldom establish moral tendencies, the commissioner's report indicates conditions that are highly gratifying. It shows that for the Inst fiscal year nearly 10,000,000 pu pils wcro enrolled n the public schools. Tho Increase above 1000 was quite evi dently greater than tho lncrcaso in the number of children of school age in that perloi). Tle nmotilit of money spent for education per capita of tho population lind risen In a single year, from 1001 to 100?, from fl.OI to ?2.03, which Is tho highest amount ever spent for public education. The result of all this expenditure Is seen In tho further fact that tho nverngo duration of the attcudnnco of each pupil In the schools of tho country lniR Incrensed by twenty-four nnd ono-hulf days Bince 1870.

Thus Is falthul sorvlco re warded at tho First Baptist church of Salem. the mnnller cities In Massachusetts where not less than thirteen churches have parted with their pastors within n year.

It was one of his great griefs that there was not niwnyv room for alf of them, oven when col umns of live editorial matter had been crowded out, as they were sometimes, to make room for them.

Ah a result of long consideration, the Methodists dually abolished tho tlmu limit, and now It Is possible for Methodist churches to keep their ministers as long as they desire. Hut apparently the tondeiiey to short pastorates hits been growing meanwhile in othor de nominations. Indeed, a pastorate of moro than eight or ten years is now a decided rarity, though thoro are nota ble exceptions to this rule.

True, It has failed to bring about tho millennium, nor have the higher Institu tions of learning yet quite accomplished this. There are undoubtedly faults in thg public school system, though the American people, who regard It ns nltOUttue best product of our civiliza tion, wfll hardly agree with Dr." Kllot's sweeping Indictment. While tho public schools are not do lug nil they might or ought toward strengthening tho moral fiber of the people, thoy must bo credited with do- 1 tng their full share, with the colloges una" universities, the pulpit and thu pr.s, toward the steady gain that bus been made In public morality during . tho last two generations, and will con tinue to bo an Important, if not the most Important, factor In the creatlou fof wholesome and patriotic pjublle sen. tlmeut - The crown prlnco or Slam, though n follower of the Ituddhlst religion, is de cidedly llboral lu his vlows.
