-Motwithstanding the comparative:
efficiency of our public and private
sohvol. system, there are sad «lefects
connected with it, which time and
experience will have to finda remedy
for, “We have not the schools here
that willturn out educated artisans,
and well trained mechanics, as they"
have.in Europe. On the contrary, a
large majority of our educated men,
are those who know nothing of industrial” labor, and are dependent
wholly upou the knowledge they acThe country is flooded with this kind
of men, and there ate those who are
“coming to believe that there is too
education. They believe ‘it
useless. That there is some cause
for this belief, it is only necessary to
. advertise for a man to do light work.
The following from the San Jose
Mercury hits the nail on the head.
‘A fow days ago a small advertisemerit appeared inthe Chronicle's department of “help wanted,” for a
shipping clerk for a wholesale house.
_In two days’ time one hundred and’
“twenty-five letters wére™ ‘Feostved ii
response to the said advertisement.
In the entire number,” says: the
Chronicle, “not a single instance of
‘bad chirograpby was displayed, and
a large majority were addressed in
bold, legible and handsome business
hands.” There is something radically.wrong in the order of things
that creates such a surplugage of
supply as compared with the demand
for clerical services.
We think the evil Ties in a false
educational system—a_ eysien “that
ctiltivates the brain to the “negleét .
wholly of the hand-and muscle; that
grinds our young men all through
the same mill, and turns them upon
the world as little qualified as possible for any kind of manual industry.
‘We regad this as » misdirected education; and such we believe is fourfifths. of all the training of our
schools, . Beyond the i-culcution of:
a-knowledge of the rudimenta! bran-.
ches of a plain Englisteducation,
our public schools should ndt go,
except in conjunction with:some system of thorough manual training.
The world is filling up with educa‘ed incompetents—of men who are
good for nothing on the farm or in
the workshop, and who lack the capacity—owing largely perhaps to
lack. of opportunity—to rise to eminence as tradesmen, accountants or
professionals, A soft haud and a
a genteel appearance are considered
of more-woith than the sturdy independence which comes of productive
industry and hard-handed toil. It
is not so much the fault of our young
‘as it is of the system that thus unfits
them-for their appropriate pluce in
the world of use and work."’

present strength comes in, is difficult to determine, unless it be among
office-holders.' There are no influential Journuls advocating bis renomination, but a large number

“Pux Capr’ s Revenor.—Aterrible
story comes tous from Persia. In
one of the districts a laboring man
had been sentenced to be bastinadoed for some offense, receiving one
hundred and twenty blows on the
soles of his feet. Ashe sank down
upon his knees after the sentence
-lieved that his injuries were of a serious character, he called the judge
to his side, intimating that he had a
terrible secret to reveal. As he
could only speak in a whisper, the
judge pluced his ear to the lips of
the fa‘nting mun, whex the latter
seized it with his teeth, and in his
agony bit it off, “In Persia, the loss
of un ear, no matter under ‘what circumstances, is considered a lasting
disgrace, and the judge so felt it. He
at once gave orders to have the prisoper carefully cared for, assuring the
physicians that if they did not save
his life their own should pay the,
penalty, and they succeeded. When
the prisoner had fully recovered he
was sentenced to have his teeth
pulled out one by one, in presence
of the mob, and this frightful sentence was carried out, two days being exhausted with the work. No
pains were taken with the borrible
job, and the jaws. were broken and
crushed until the whole lower portion of the man's face was one mangledmass, and his sufferings were so
great that many men fainted while
witnessing the operation. Two days
after the little life left in the man.

A NEW process: for making wheat
flour it about to be introduced in
California The inventor is Bentz
of Maryland: He will bring with
him a smail mill, to be tested at the
Star Mills, at Vallejo. He says that
by his process every part of California wheat, except a very thin film of
silex, is converted into merchantable—-flour, without discoloration.
No bran, no ‘middlimgs, no refuse
retnains. Our millers are incredulous, and he accepis their challenge
to prove his claims. He finds our
wheat is deficient in gluten, which
causes it to be constipating. His
flour corrects this; and. he claims it
stipation. The Bentz mill costs
less than half of the present mills,
and if it proves all right, good-bye
to shipping grain. Weshall find
& great gain by converting it into
ported iu barrels made of straw-paper, such as are my to be seen at
our Fair.
