PRACTICAL EDUCATION.
The end of the school year brings
homo toevery thoughtful patron of
our schools the question whether our
system of c-ducation lias kept pace
witli Iho progress of the ago and the
changed conditions under which man
.and women are now forced to compete
for a livelihood. Commencement ex
hibitions , gotten up like Barhum's
show , regardless of expense , afford no
insight into the efficiency of tench-
ere , the thoroughness of tlieir
method of instniction or thp
utility of the branches taught
A young man after going through
month * of training may declaim from
the stngo with as much greco ns n
trained orator , nnd yet ho may bo tin-
able to measure n sta6k of lumber , as
certain the dimensions of n cistern ,

outline of the mechanism of a steam
engine.

Alaska is located near the
equator or the Suez canal
connects the Atlantic with the Pacific
ocean. Out of the fi,000 pupils en
rolled in tko public schools of Omaha
only eight have completed the high
school course this year , and it is taken
for granted that they nro fitted to en
ter upon any vocation , either profes
sional , mechanical or mercantile , they
may elect to follow. What vocation
are they fit for ? That is the problem
which educators , and especially our
board of education , should endeavor
to solve.
Before steam and electricity caino
into general use tho.oducational prob
lem was very dimple. ' Schooling was
arranged , for two classes , ' Tho' chil
dren of the poor and middle classes
were taught the three "r'a , " reading ,
ritin' nnd rithmotik , io which , in some
instances , was added local geography.
That supplied nil their -wants of nn
education , i Boyn of thirteen nnd ov'en
at an earlier ago , wore bound ap
prentices for from three to five years
to some mechanic or to merchant.
They were placed Under the absolute
control of masters , and beginning with
the coarsest of manual labor had to
work their way up.
Each trade was complete within it
self , and the 'boy who finished his
trade was master of every part of it.
So with the merchant's apprentice who
commenced with swooping the store
and braying the nun tar , und ended
with becoming confidential clerk or
manager.
The wealthier class that aspired to
professional , honors were trained in
and1 universities. Their
colleges ! edu
cation in any of the professions was
complete when they received their
inivorsity diploma ,
These conditions no longer exist.
The introduction of steam and olcc-
ricitywitli their marvellous mechani
cal appliances , have done away with
ho apprentice system.
A mechanic without nn education is
a moro machine. Ho may stand at a
drill , a trip hammer , or u lathe from
lay to day and year to year and he
novvs no moro at the end of that
imothan when ho began. Ho merely
) ccomes proficient in handling ono
> art of a machine , but has little or
10 chance of over becoming independ
ent.
ent.It
It is BO with the boy thut desires to
'ollovv mercantile lifev There nro no
merchants' apprentices now , and each
clerk is merely a machine required to
measure up so many yards or weigh
so ninny pounds of goods.
To u great extent professional
[ raining is also radically changed. A
sheepskin from ono of the thousands
of American universities or rollcges is
no longer n passport over the highway
to professional success.
It is Holf-ovidont that thu whole
system of eduction must ho directed
to practical ends. If vvo want our
l > oys to bocoiao masters pf any trade
or profession , they must have n train
ing that will acquaint them with the
elementary principles of nil the natu
ral forces now utilized by man. They
must know the principles of
air , steam , caloric electricity nnd
nmgriotishi. JTIioy imist Jaiow the

instruct as far as possible the tech
nical and industrial branches , leaving

OTHEU H.ANDS THAN OURS.
At the death of the czar Alexander
II the liberal element in Russia enter
tained great expectations of happy re
sults from the accession of Alexander
III. Those expectations do not seem
to have been realized. The prisons
in Russia are so crowded that the prac
tice of administrative deportation
which Gen. Mohkoff sought to abolish
ish will have to bo continued on an
extensive scale. Siberia is a distant
and drcarj' region. Only two or three
involuntary exiles have over returned
from it , and yet it no more exclusively
a penal settlement than Australia is
at these days. There is this difference ,
however , that the natives of Siberia ,
whether of Russian extraction or not ,
are entirely destitute of loyalty and
affection toward Russia. If the nihi
lists were not likely to prccipitnto a
crisis in Russia nt nn early date , the
sentiment growing up in Siberia would
eventually bo ns hostile toward that
empire ns the fooling of Irish nottlcrs
and their descendants in this country
is bitter toward Kngland. Enemies
of the land league speak apprcnmvcly
of the greater Ireland in America , and
were the present course of events to
continue long there would bo a gicat
anti-Ruisia in Siberia.
In spite of the enormous bounty of
fered by the French government for
shipping built in Franco , wo notice by
the Liverpool Steam Shipping Circu
lar that British can still outbid French
builders. Ono reason is that the
French resources arc so limited that
Englislt builders have a largo share of
the work. The .French yards have
. now orders for notno years to como.
This compels ship-owners in that coun
try to contract with English builders.
The cost of bnilding in England is al
so BO much less , and the delivery so
much quicker , that any apparent ad
vantage derived from the full pre
mium granted to French owners on
French-built boats is moro than coun
terbalanced by the extra cost , and
consequent greater depreciation , insur
ance and interest. British steamers
are also said to bo bettor built. Sev
eral French orders for oteamors of
3,000 to 4,000 tons dead-weight ca
pacity have lately boon placed in Eng
land. Iron Bailing ships , " 1,800 tons
register , wo see by the circular , are
now being built in England nt 12 to
13 per ton.
The point in Mr. Gladstone's Irish
> olicy which him boon most sovoicly
criticised is the preference in respect
o the time which ho gavu to coercion
nils over his measures for nmoliorat-
ng the condition of the people. The
conservatives supported his coercion
ncasuros with alacrity , and were evi
dently glad to aid in fostering a ays-
.cm of cucrcivo laws upon Ireland at
ho oxpcnso of the liberal ministry.
[ tut Gladstone did not effect an al-
lianeo with his opponents which helps
liim materially with his land bill. So
far the opposition has shown itself , in
working with the oxttoino Irish party ,
for delay rather than in direct antag
onism to the bill. But delay witli the
landlords in the enjoyment of the pro
tection afforded by. the power of arbi
trary arrest granted thoin by the Life
and Property and Arms acts
is fatal to the popularity of the minis
try. The landlords have created such
a fury by wholesale evictions that a
desperate populauo is exposing itself tea
a further manifestation of power on
the part of the government. The lat
est repressive measure announced in
preparation for the unfortunate Irish
is a substitution of what tire termed
"Spccia ) commissions for trials by jury
in a certain.clasa of eases ; " The spec
ial commission ia'sd much like u court
martial that jt would bo \vasto of
time to point out the diflorenco. The
judges , appointed by the government ,
have the decision of eases in their own
'
hands. The suspension of trial by
jury is in fact u suspension of the pou-
stUuion | nnd tW xorulso' ' 'by ' the gov
ernment of extraordinary powers on
the plea of necessity. '
The eollbo crop is falling oil' in Dra
l. This is attributed to political
causes , Brazil has two parties one
of which may bo palled the republican
party , and the other the party of free
dom. It has frequently been stated
thut a respectable portion of the no
bility , and a majority of * iho common
pcoplo of Brazil , desired that the
country should bo converted into
republic on the death of the present
omporor. Dom Podio stands so high
in the afl'oction of his subjects that
nothing of the kind will bo attempted
during his reign , It has been hoped
however , that when that reign term !
nutud publio sentiment would bo so
preponderating for the change that no
difliculty would bo encountered iu ef
fecting it. But it Booms that obstacles
to this result are being interposed not
heretofore anticipated. The work ol
converting a monarchy into a republic
without revolution , or war of some
kind , hu occurred very lardy in hie
tory. Spain is nn instance in point ,
but her republican laurels wore worn
only for a brief period. The throne
of Spain was re-erected , and a king
occupies it to-day The party of
freedom in Brazil causce , perhaps ,
moro profound agitation. This party
declares that slavery shall bo abolished
in the empire. By a singular coinci
dence the party of freedom had its
origin , and exists in the northern
part of Brazil. It is in the south
M hero the coffee plantations arc prin
cipally located , nnd where it is con
tended that without slave labor coffee
raising wHl have to bo abandoned.
The southern cotton planters of this
country used similar arguments before
the war , luu it is now seen that their
profits are much larger , and their
crops more abundant , than they were
in the days of slavery. There is IK
immudiato danger of any intorna
strife in Brazil. If there over shoulc
bo such a thing ns a civil war ant'
that is not anticipated it will be after
Dom Pedro's death. A full nnd free
discussion of all the points of differ
ence involved can have none ether
than n good effect to prepare the pub
lic mind for coming events , however
those events may fall out.
Last Sunday was the day sot by the
Second Avontists for the destruction
of the VTorld , and .a largo number of
ignorant Canadians wcro sorely disap
pointed at at its failure to fulfil its
part of the programme , In expecta
tion of the grand spectacular finale ,
which they had reckoned upon for the
10th , they had neglected to put in
their crops , and had devoted their
time to prayers. As ono sturdy but
credulous fellow put it : "I doan't
know zactly what to think. I nays
to a nabur o' mine a week ago : 'Waal ,
if the world's to come to a hcnd on
the 10th of Juno , I boan't agoin' to

bur. There's quite a 'number honhus
lioutj hour way who 'as a nquit labo *
an' agono to prayin' an" H gottin"
ready for the crash-up an' smash-up ,
as you'd say. " The smash failed to
put in an appearance and the pious
farmers nro now left to bemoan their
own improvidence.
Thork seems to be only ono thing
which the French will take from the
Germans , and that is their boor.
Last year the consumption amounted
to : JOO,000 hectolitres , which was an
increase of 260,000 hectolitres in 1C
years , and 293,000 in 27 years , the
consumption in 1853 having been only
7,000. In the whole of Franco , about
8,000,000 hectolitres arc now produc
ed. One chief cause of the increased
consumption is bolicvod to bo the bad
ness of the wino and the growing ten
dency to the use cf adulterating sub
stances in it.
German men of letters to seem to ex
perience a hearty regret over the de
parture of Minister White from the
American legation. A Berlin dis
patch to The London Times says :
Mr. White has only been hero about
two years , but during that time ho has
displayed such qualities as to make
these who know hi m fool no slight re
gret for his departure. Worthily inheriting -
horiting the traditions of his literary
predecessors hero , Mr. White has
preserved the special character of the
American Legation as n hospitable
gathering centre for all that is intel
lectual hnd attractive in the society of
the capital , so that these who
frequent his spacious saloons
in the Bohronstrasso are
almost tempted to fancy they nre being -
ing entertained , not by the minister
of the great commonwealth of the
west , hut by an ambassndor from the
Republic of Letters. "Tho Guest of
the Evening" was then given at the
banquet to Mr. White by Prof.
Gnoist , a tower .of ntrcngth in the
field -Anglo-Saxon constitutional
history and law and the Devon of the
Doctriiuiros , so to speak , in the im
perial parliament. Mr. White replied
in n long , earnest and evidently heart
felt speech , the tone and style of
which proved him to have studied the
art of speaking in a country where
both pottpnindial and parliamentary
oratory are much moro successfully
cultivated than in Germany. Ho was
quite ready to admit the English
origin of his country and its insti
tutions , but while Great Britain
has had its post parent , ho thought ho
could perceive signs that Germany was
likely to become its future mother.
Mr. White then referred to the vast
number of American students who
come to Germany in search of that
culture which they could not find in
their own country ho could count up
all these of his youthful compatriots
who frequented English universities
on the lingers of one of his hands
and ho was uovr going homo to resume
his functions as a professor of history
and to inspire the minds of these who
would have to determines the future
relations Itetweon Ulio United States
and the mighty German Fatherland
with the same exalted admiration and
affection for the latter as ho felt him
self.
Sorlbner for July.
The subject of Art , which the pub
Ha expect to find treated , in some
form , in every number of Scribner , is
represented in the July number by
two papers , by Mr , W , 0 , Brownell.
Ono of these is the third of the series
on "Tho Younger Painters of Amer

Veterans' room and the library the
work of nn association of arlistn which
ia likely tohavoa decided influencoup-
on interior decoration in this country.
Politics ia represented by a first paper
on "Tho People's Problem , " by Al
bert Stickncy , Esq. , author of "A
True Republic. " The writer consid
ers it the Doss systemamUho machine
from a historic point of viewand with
vigor and originality. Ho does not
prophesy smooth things , but shows up
American politics in a very interest
ing and alarming way. In succeeding
papers ho will give some suggestions
looking towards n remedy for ttie pi J-
ont stain of affairs. In fiction there
nro the concluding parts of Mr. Cable's
"Madamo Dolphino" nnd Mr. How-
oll's "Fearful Responsibility , " nnd n

George P. Fisher , of Yale college , and
the fine portrait of Dollinior , by Lcn-

"The Sea Horse" ( walrus ) by Henry
W. Elliott , who was the first to discriminate -
criminate the Atlantic from the Paci

nate personal knowledge of his sub

iaps the most popular'paper in the
number is Mr. Murfrco's illustrated
and doncriptivo account of "The Lov-

s just now of special moment to the
central and southern sections of the
country. The writer , however , does
tot deal with the economic or scion-
: ilic sides of the subject , but with the
"big water of 1844 , " the practical
construction of the levees , lighting a
crevasse , etc.-
In the departments , which have the
usual amount and variety , mention
be made of.a discussion of
