The nnmtnl ttport of rrcsldcnt Kllot ol
tlarvard Is notable In that It contains for
the first time a report from the dean si
lindcllfte college , the female annex , \\lilch
\n-i Incorporated with ( lie university a
year KO. Uiirlng the la t year there were
284 slildent ! ! , 213 of whom were from MasK -
I K , thirteen from the other New
ntates , while the remaining fifty-
- four c.ime from nineteen other Mutes.
As the students of Hailcllffo are allowed
the choice cf their studies the selections are
of Interest an Indlcntlnc the general trend
of female education In tlio future. The
subjects chpseri were In the followIIIR gen
eral order of popularity ; Kngllsli , history ,
Herman , French , philosophy , Latin , Oicek ,
mathematics and economics. Ihe last
nanicil Is at the foot of the list became
few 'w onion caic nny thing for It , while
inathcni'itlcs ! riMlvcly In the panic po-
Bit on because women are anything but
mathematical by nature. The two largest
classes \\erc- these In Knglltth composition
and In Shakespeare. The decadence of
cltmlc.il studlen la vrry marked. In the
first year of the college Greek nntl Latin
formed 24 per cent of the subjects stmlloJ ,
but last year they formed only 12 per cent ,
while Rngllsh , which , In the first year , was
8 per cent of the subjects , last year was 27
per cent. Modern languages have not flue-
tinted much , but mathematics decreased
from li to 2 per cent.
The lesson of thesa figures , tays the
ClilMRO Tribune , Is that English com
position and literature , the modern lan
guages and history , ore the favorite studies
of women and that It Is In thcso general
directions they will reach future excellence
and do their beat work. Indeed , oven a
cursory glance over the field nf female la
bor from the scholarly1 point of view alreidy
demonstrates the truth < of the etattstltvi
which Hndcllffe college has furnished.
Another notable- feature of the report Is
the fact that the graduates from HadcllITo
largely rest from their labors when they
leave and let their works follow them.
President Eliot , commenting upon "ho to-
port , says : "Kor the flrst time women
graduates In arts were r.dmlttcd to courses
primarily for graduates In Harvard univer
sity , but the Inroad was by no means ularm-
Ing , only eight such courses being elected
by twelve graduate students registered In
Madeline college. " He Is of opinion , how
ever , that as the nature of the alliance be
tween the college and the unlveislty be
comes known to the public the number of
women graduates registered In lladcllfte
and attending Harvard university graduate
courses will Increase.

The American people have much to learn
-from the old world In regard to Industrial
education.
It is an encouraging fact that the atten
tion of wealthy philanthropists Is turning
In that direction , says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Whllo the lion's i-haro of g'fts nnd
bequests during the year 1S03 fell to col
leges and universities ( over ? 12,000,000) ) , $000-
000 have been given toward trade teach
ing ; $400,000 by Mr. J. C. Wllmordlng of San
Fianclsco , and $200,000 by MlE > 3 Esther C.
Mack of Salem , Maps. Tlie universities ,
thsIoglcal remlnarlesj , medical colleges , law
schools , training schools , libraries , museums ,
hospitals , of Chicago , are tokens and ro-
wlta of a imrvelotis liberality nnd a com-
nicml3blc civic pride , but while .thosa aspir
ing to be lawyers , physicians , clergymen ,
BChC'lara nud artists , may find abundant op
portunity to gratify their ambition , the poor
boy who wishes to tra'n his hands to earn
on honest living finds * no yuch provisions for
his wantp. Hero Is a chance for some
wealthy great-hearted citizen of this great
manufacturing nnd commercial city to Im
mortalize himself by providing the means
for the converting of thousands of boya and
g'rls , who will otherwise fall Into vicious
lives , Into Industrious self-reDpectlng , law-
abiding citizens. It Is time that ono fallacy
bo exploded the fallacy that handlcsaft and
academic culture are Incompatible. The con
trary has been proved to be true. II Is a
fact well Unown to those who have studied
industrial education In Europe and manual
training In thin country that academic edu
cation nnd sj'xlll In the use of tools can be
imparted at the same time with advantage
to both.
Trade Instruction in Franco may be
roughly dlv'ded ns lo Its support as fol
lows ; 1. State schools. Including those maln-
ta'ncd by national , departmental or munic
ipal funds , or all combined. 2. Schools es
tablished by rellgloua or philanthropic as-
eoelatlons or by private persons , 3. Schools
maintained by aKoo'ntlons of manufactur-
oru , or other employers of labor. 4. Schoolo
of trades unions.
The trade schools maintained by assocla-
tlony of employers or of workmen are numer-
< mj , and Include a variety of occupations
such as coach and carriage makers , wheel
wrights , bronze workers , Jewelers , steam
engine and bollcrmakers , plumbers and metal
roofers , etc.
Among the philanthropic associations for
fostering trade teaching may be named : 1.
The Polytechnic association , which provides
instruction to both nexes In modeling , paint
ing on porcelain nnd on fans , practical me
chanics , metal working , stone cutting , geom
etry , Industrial drawing , and , to women only
eewlng , millinery , dressmaking , telegraphy'
etc. 2. The I'hllotochnlo association , also
for both sexes ; Instruction In cutting , sewing
ana llnlshinB men's garments' , fhoenuklng ,
foundry and copper work , photography
telegraphy , etc. a. The Union of Young
People { both sexo * ) , Instruction In drawing ,
wechaulcs. applied Bclciice , especially chem
istry , sowing , embroidery. 4. Society far
Elementary Instruction ( for \\omcn nnd girls
only ) . Instruction in domestic economy ,
ncedlewoik , cutting and making garments'
Industrial drawing , painting on china , and on
fans , engraving , etching , modeling , stenog
raphy , etc.
The above named societies nro designed
to furnish Instruction to persons , who arc
already engaged In dally work , and their
clauses arc necessarily held In the evening
or on Sunday morning. To the abovenamo.l
societies may bo added the following , which
provide liiBtructlon during working hours ;
5. The Industrial Patrons of Children In
the Cabinet Making trade. C. The Society
for the Assistance of Children In Flower nnd
Feather work , 7. The Patrons of Tapestry

The trade pcliool of the Clmlx. Prlnt'tiK
company. Paris , deserves special mention ,
and might , with tome modifications , be
tnfely adopted as a model for American
, , trade schools. The object of the school ,
which was founded In 18C3 , Is to provide
skilled workmen for the Cha.x company ,
which bears all the expense. It differs from
many tiade schools In being an apprentice
kchool , the period of apprenticeship ex-
tenUliiB to four years , ono moro than the
usual apprenticeship In France. Pupils are
ndmlttod at 13 years of age ( which Is too
yomiB , though It Is the maximum age at
which working boys of France and Rug-
land leave school. ) Only ten pupils are rc-
cslvcd annually , and they are slven ttut
technical Instruction to which they teem
best adapted. For certain branches selec
tion o' applicants Is" made by competitive
examination. The theoretical Instruction ,
In addition to the theory demanded by the
trade , Includes history , geography , mathe-
mat'ca physics , etc.
There Is no charge for Instruction ; but
the pupils are paid according to u fixed
tcalo. Compositors and lithographers ( two
ol the classes to which admission Is eatned
ly competitive examination ) receive no
commentation for ( lie first tlx months. Fur
the second six months they are paid 10
cents a day ; during the second year they
receive 19 cents a day ; 29 cents In the third
jr ar , 39 cents in th fourth year. Boys in
other ilrrnrttnents are pAld 14 cent * n day
from 'he beginning , nnd their pay Is In-
cr.'jft'd e\cry four month. " , till Ihe clew ol
their apprenticeship. After graduation the ;
receive ? 'ho wages of skilled workmen , and
the great majority of the graduates r m ln
In the employ of the company. Ptr several
ye-nrs past no additions have been made to
the working force of the company , except
graduates. VncsiicleH In Hie higher positions
am filled by promotion ; nnd all position * arc
OPMI lo graduates. The verdict cf the com
pany , after more than Ihlriy years of ex
perience. Is thus Hnttd by Its secretary : "The
fchool hnr Increased the quantity , tiuillty
and artistic value of our work. All our
student workmen me so much more valunhle
to ns that wo consider tln heavy expense of
maintaining a * ehoollth the nece. sary
family of teachers , materials , etc. , as ItHR-
ninrant In comparison with the effect picAi
Instruction has upon our workmen. "
Several of the railway companies have ap
prentice schooln for the training of skilled
mechanics for their service. The Paris
fchool of the- Eastern railway ( C'hcmln Fcr
de 1'KH ) was opened In 1852 , reorganized In
18SI. Most of the pupils nro sons of the
company's employes. Four hours dally are
Bit en to study , five hours to work in the
rniuny' | shops. From his entrance Into
the nchool each bay Is paid 10 cents a day ,
which WHpe la Increased , on the recommend
ation of his Instructors. Graduates arc
under no olillcntlon to enter the company's
rentce , but the great inajotlty remain In
Its employ.
The Gutte-nbeTft Typographical school Is an
example of a trade union school. It was
founded by the Printers' union In 188(5. ( The
number of pupllu la small , and In the first
sU years of Us existence It graduated sixty-
seven bojp , nil of whom found ready em
ployment. The regular course Is thrcj years ,
but the opportunity for special courses is
grunted to apprentices In any printing es
tablishment. To boys taking the regular
cjurt'3 ' no charge Is made for tuition ,
A similar school In Drusscls Is "L'Ecolo
Profcxslonello de Tnlllcurs , " conducted In
ths "Palace du Midi. " This pcliool and the
"Erole Industrie ! ! : de Bruxelles" are given
the looms by the city and nre mainly sup
ported by public funds. Small fees are
charged , which are remitted to the poor.
The course Is four years. Slmpls exerdtHS
In sewing are succeeded by parts of gar
ments. The embryotlc tailor furnlsh's the
material for a suit for himself , which he
makes. In time the apprentice Is given the
easier parts of the entire garments , the
mete dllllctilt parts being done by the "pro-
fe i > ors. " For his work on entire garments
the apprentice Is paid small wages. The
graduates of this school are In demand. They
are not taught to cut , since then they would
not want to sew. At first the trades unions
were unfriendly to the school , which for
years had a hard struggle for existence , being
oupported for a timeby subscription. The
master tailors now furnish a cheap style of
pauncnt to bo madn by the apprentices.
The president of the management Is a mer
chant tailor. Thin school teaches arithmetic
and simple bookkeeping and a half hour dally
Is allowed for gymnastics.
OHIO INSTITUTES HISPOIIM.
A MctiMiirt * HfNtrle-lliiR tlio Multiplica
tion lit Colll'KOM.
State- Senator Garfleld of Ohio , son of
President Garfield , has Introduced In the leg
islature a bill to restrict the multiplication
of binall colleges In that state , the senator
thinking there are already enough such In
stitutions In Ohio "living at a poor , dying
trie. " The bill proposes the constitution of
a college and university council , which must
approve the application for a char'ur before
a new college- can be established. The coun
cil Is to be composed of ten members , of
whom three are lo be selected from the
fi'etltles of the undenominational colleges
or universities of the state , three from the
faculties of the denominational colleges or
universities , and three from the supoMntend-
cnts of public schools. These nine to be
appointed by the governor. The > tenth mem
ber Is to be. the state commissioner of com
mon schools , who Is to be ex-oHlclo president
of the boaid. This , board Is to pass upon
the standard of admission , courses of study ,
anJ annual Income , exclusive of fees paid
by students , and gifts and grants received
during the jear. If two-thirds of the board
approve the educational standard and course
of study and It la shown that the Institution
lias a clear annual Income , exclusive of
students' fees and gifts during the year
of $15,000 , to be devoted exclusively to the
purposes of Instruction , the application
shall bo approved , but not otherwise- . All
thu institutions uhartor-d under the act are
to bo annually Inspected under the authority
of the board , and failure to keep up to thp
required standard , educational or financial ,
will woik forfeiture of the power to confer
degrees- Existing Institutions may bring
themselves within the- scope of the act , but
they are not required to show a minimum
Income of moro than halt the sum fixed In
the act for new colleges.
An examination of the statistics of univer
sities and colleges In the United States con
tained In the report of the commissioner of
education for 1892-3 , which Is the latest
Issued , reveals the need of some such legis
lation , comments the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
With a population ranking fourth In the list
of states Ohio has the largest number of
colleges and the poorest show among the
Important states In average number of stu
dents , Income of college , nnd salaries of pro-
fepsors and teachers. Of the Institutions en
titled to grant degrees , other than profes
sional , In that year , Ohio had 38 , Pennsylva
nia , 31 , Illinois 28 , Now York 23 , Indiana 15 ,
Michigan 12 and Massachusetts 9. While
Ohio headed the list In number of colleges
It was at tbo foot In average number of
students to a college , Massachusatts showIng -
Ing 410 , New York 24C. Michigan 213 , Penn-
oylvanla 1C3 , Indiana IOC , Illinois 134 and
Ohio 120. The financial showing Is no
better. The average annual Income from all
sources per college In Massachusetts was
$150,000 , New York $92,633 , Michigan $44,000 ,
Illinois $37,000 , Pennsylvania $30,120 , In
diana $29,200 , Ohio $22.900. The teaching
force was less adequately paid In Oblo than
In any of the other leading states. Massa
chusetts paid her college professors and
teachers an average salary of $2,639 , New
Ycrk $2,204 , Michigan $1C94 , Indiana $1.312 ,
Illinois ) $1,282 , Pennsylvania $1,25C , Ohio a

A new feature has been added to the
English work In the High school. Once
each week two pupils are selected by the
teacher of the English department to deliver
before the school a twenty-mlnute lecture
on an assigned subject , In which they are
not allowed to use any written manuscript or
notes of any kind. The English teachers
and scholars , not satisfied vlth an English
department better than furnished In High
schools of cities of the same class , are en
deavoring to raise the work to a standard
where they can compete with college trained
young men and women. .

Tin * Locomotive AVlilMtle.
When locomotives were first built and be
gan to trundle their small loads up and down
the newly and rudely constructed railways
of England , says Cassler's Magazine , tlio
public roads were , for Iho greatest part ,
crossed at grade , and the engine driver had
no way of giving warning of his approach
except by blowing a tin horn. Dul this ,
as may be Imagined , was far from being a
sufficient warning. Ono day In the year
1833 , so runs a story of the origin of the
locomotive whistle , a farmer of Thornlon
was crossing Iho railway Irack on ono of
the country roads with a great load of
eggs and butter. Just as bo came out upon
the Irack a train approached. The engine
man blew bla tin born lustily , but the
farmer did not hear It. Eighty dozens of
eggs and fifty pounds of butter were
smashed into an Indistinguishable , unpleas
ant mass , and mingled with the kindling
wood to which the wagon was reduced. The
railway company had to pay the farmer the
value of his fifty pounds of butter , his 960
eggs , his horse and bla wagon. It was re
garded as a very serious matler , and straight
away a director of the company went to
Alton Grange , where George Stephenson
lived , lo see If ho could not Invent some
thing that would give a warning more likely
to bo heard. Stephenson went to work , and
the next day had a contrivance , which , whnn
attached to Ihe engine holler and Iho steam
turned on , gave oul a shrill , discordant
sound , The railway dlroclors , greatly de
lighted , ordered similar contrivances to bo
atlacbed lo all the locomotives , and from
that day to this the voice of the locomo
tive whistle has never been bllcnt.

From the tenor of the e allusions. It N
evident that the quern's government has
received to remove this obstacle to ami
cable relat'ons ' with the United State" * ;
and , judging from the tenor of the English
oplnlm , It Is not Improbable that an cffoit
may be made to provide permanent arrange ,
ments for the friendly settlement of all
future disputes between the two nation' !
which would be an Immense gain toward
a future expansion of the business relations
which have been recently Interrupted. Thli
countrv may be depended upon to tecelve
any advances of that nature In the spirit
In which they are Intended. Possibly , from
the Insularity of our position and policy ,
our people might not be willing to go so far
In tills direction as n country which , ow
ing to the vnstncFs of Its external rela
tions' , bus special Intciest In estab'lshlng
permanent friendships with every nation
possible , but especially -with the UnlteJ
States. Ncveithe'ess , ' our people da not
need to be convinced of the advantage of
having their relations with Great Britain
put upon a basis of harmony and stability
consistent with the racial , commercial and
tlnanclal Interests of the two nations. Pres

The cr'tlca ' ) j > ha eof , the loan transac

disturbance of the money inaiket , or possi

arise from such a * large operation , have
not been Justified by the event. The money

up 'JiV ' full and that , bv the end 'of 'this
month , 'about 70 oer rent of the Issue IB ex
pected to be finally paid for : * In reality , all
this had been arranged for In advance , and
whatever doianucment In the money market
occurred happened during the , Iatter part of
last month. The treasury has wisely de
termined to place ait Important portion of
Its recelnts from the loan on deposit with
the banks that have most liberally fcub-
scribed for the bonds. This prevents any
large contraction of the bank reserves and
keeps tho.jloan market comparatively easy.
The net condition following this opera
tion Is a steady money market , n fortified
treasury reserve , an elevation of 'the public
credit , and an Improved state of confidence
throughout the country. The treasury , it Is
e = tlmflted. wl'l now have n reserve of fully
12. > , OOO.OCO. after allowing for withdrawals
of gold for paying for the bonds. Thai
gives an Interval of several months during
which the treasury Is likely to be exempt
from any large disturbance of Its gold
fund ; and It Is hoped thnt , duilng that
period , arrangements may be made which
will prevent the necessity tor any further
loans In connection with the reserve de
rangements.
The loan having been accomplished with
these satisfactory reMiIlP , a moro solid
basis Is laid for Wall street operations for
the remainder of the year. The present
Icon re ts upon more normal arrangements
than that of Fcbruaiy , 18fl.r > . It Involves
none of the special regulations of the
fort-Is n exchanges that was connected with
the last negotiation , and consequently will
bo followed by none ; of the stralghtpnlng-
out that caused consldeiable exports of
go'd lost fall ; and that Is one of the ad
vantages attending the so-called "popular"
method of borrowing. The great Improve
ment of business that followed the netfotla-
t'on of a year ago Is flesh In the pub'lc
recollection ; and It seems reasonable to hope
that a similar result may succeed the opera
tion lust concluded. Upon the whole , the
condition of liade Is steadier now than
It was at this stage of 1S95. In most of the
markets there Is a gradual cain ; but it.
fomo there Is renhon to regret the
sudden and largo advance In wages that
was made In thf tprlng of .ast year , nuyers
however nrn supplying their wants with
little hesitation at the reductions In prices
recently made , and a fair rlng trade
hfems ID be reasonably amired. Present
Indications favor the probability of a com
paratively easy btate of the money market
until next fall , and the foreign exchanges
reflect , In declining rates , the reduction In
the Imports , the relative Increase In thn
fl.xpoitH. the Fhlpmentsi of the now United
States bonds to Hurnpe. and the better fool
ing In London towrrd American Invest
ments.
The question as to what Is meant by the
word "cDln" has now been settled to mean
go'd. Just as much as If an not hud pissed
rongreps to Inmt the word "gold" Imforo
the word "coin" In the United States bonds

pia have settled It now and forever , so that
congressional action Is not now necessary.

* CHICAGO , Feb. 15. More from lack of
support than anything else wheat today
was weak and closed about ? ic lower. Trad
ers have become timid from the disastrous
effects of the past week's surprising fluc
tuations and as a consequence have become
exceedingly cautious. Corn and oats were
but slightly affected and closed unchanged.
Provisions had n downward tendency and
showed material losses.
There was a fair speculative trade In
wheat for the short session , the markel
having from % c to Ic range. The feeling de
veloped was a little unsett.ed nnd prices
rather nervous. The start was weak. There
were a good many selling orders on the
mcrket and some of the early sales were
as .ow as ffic. or at a Vie decline from
the close last night. Hut the decline started
some good buying , the strength being in-
ct eased by a rumor that a cold wave would
invade the winter wheat region tonight
and potb'blo ' damage to the growing crop
was feared. As the strength developed ,
shorts began to cover and it did not take
long to ndvance the price to from 6 &c to
GCMc split. Among other routine news which
helped to strengthen fluctuation was the
more moderate northwestern movement nnd
reports that the bulk of the same was com
ing from the elevators. But the buying fever
gradually subsided and when the longs
attempted to realize they found that the
demand was exceedingly tame and in the
effort to get rid of their holdings the price
was uradually lowered nearly Ic and there
was not much recovery. The Argentine
shipments were a factor In producing weak
ness , for the trade has hcaul so much
of the shrinkage In the crop and the bad
quality of the wheat that the 800,000 bu
shipped was a surprise. Yet. the total ship
ments for the first two weeks of February
this year have been only 1 400,000 bu. against
1,800,009 bu. the same time last year , nnd
2,000,000 bu. the same time two years ago.
May wheat opened about Uc lower , with
rales at from 65c to f > 6c , improved grad
ually to fiom CGHe to GGV&c split , then turned
weak and sold oft to GoVSc , closing at CBHc
bid ,
Corn was fairly active and sold up sharply
early , but finally lost nil the advance. It
was Influenced some by wheat nnd also
by' the impression thnt the prospective
change in the weather might cut off re
ceipts. It followed wheat on the last break.
May opened fractionally lower at SOVic split ,
sold up gradually to 30V4c , but weakened
later to 30V4c , where It closed.
Trading In oats was exceedingly quiet ,
nearly all the trading being done by coun
try dealers. The market was Influenced al
most entirely by the action of wheat. May
opened unchanged nt 21c , sold up to from
21Uc to 21V c and c'osed just steady at 21Uc
bid.
Provisions were heavy , said to bo because
of much long stuff offered In anticipation
of a heavy run of hogs next week , May
pork started nt a decline of from 2' c to 15e ,
dropped another We and wound up at n
net loss for the day of 12Hc at $10.10 per bar
rel. Mny lard at the close was worth $5 GO
as agaln&t $3.70 on Friday afternoon. May
ribs , which closed yesterday at $5.35 , rested
at $5.22 % today.
Estimates for Monday : Wheat , 1G5 cars ;
corn , 300 cars ; oats , 200 cars ; hoga , 30,000
head.
