siys. The weekly bank Htalement was not
rcg.irded as entlicly favorable from n
ruperllclal standpoint nnd seemed to ells-
icdlt the temporary rise In loan quotations
which was repoited for a few days recently.
The udden check in the advance during
the latter part of last week , judging from
the bank returns * , was well founded. There
ire ie.i80ii8 for believing , however , that
the statement does not exactly reflect the
condition of the banks. It Is a fact that
unusual preparations are belmj made to
neet the heavy demand foi monev for crao
purposes at the present time. No doubt
heavy liquidation of loans has taken place
In New York , and this may have temporarily
rily disturbed the averages from which the
weekly statement Is made up. A more
probable theory Is that the banks have
Increased their cash In order to be In a
position to meet all claim'- upon them , nnd
It would not -surprising | f next week re
vealed quite a diminution of reserves. The
Interior movement Is already well under
way , but the demand has not been up to
expec'ntlons ' The Intel lor banks seem to
be fairly well supplied with cash , nnd there
Is n prevailing disposition among- farmers
to hold back grain on a rising market , In
order to take advantage of the highest
price obtainable. There peema to be no
question that the loans of the banks will
show a continuous expansion In the face
of prevailing conditions ! , but depos'ts ' ought
to ehow n falling off poon. Never In the
history ot American- banking has there been
in accumulation of deposits * In this center
such as reported now , and never. It should
be also wild , have the banks been doing the
tiemendous business that has marked this
season.

Striking proof of the growth of the United
States In BCliool irapulatlon Is furnlsheil by
the annual teport of Commissioner of Edu
cation Harris for the year ending July 1 , j
1S96. According to Dr. Harris the enroll
ment In ttic schools and colleges , both pub
lic and private , for that > car reached the
enormous figures of 15,997,197. To thcflo had
to be added 418,000 pupils In the various
pedal ecliools and Institutions , Including
business colle-gra , munlc conservatories , In-
llan nnd reform schools , making a grand
total enrollment for the whole country of
1C.41G.107.
A comparison of the'c figures with the
returns for the jcar ending May 31 , 1890 ,
shows an enormous Increase. For that year
the attendance wns Riven as 11,674,875 , which
wai then considered a remarkable allowing.
What must bo thought of an Incrciac of
4,740.319 , or over 40 per cent , In national
school attendance In * K jcftTS. A like ratio
of Increase In the totnl population ot the
country would place It many millions above
the last estimate- the bureau of statistics ,
which was 72,937,000.
Dr. Harris' icpoit says the 178 schoola
for secondary and hlRhcr education of the
colored race had sllKlitly over 40,000 student/ !
enrolled , an Increase of over 3,000 for the
lear. Their schools Increased by eKtcen In
number , mostly high schools. There were
2.-1.092 ptiplN In the elementary grades ,
13fiti3 In the secondary grades , nnd 1,155 In
the collcRhte departments. There were 4,072
colored students studying for teachers. In
dustrial falnlng Is a prominent feature In
nearly all of these schools.
TUB TYPBU'llITBIl IX KIlltCATION.

Whether Instruction in the use of the
typewriter should be confined to schools of
the art , with stenography and typewriting ,
is n question not jet settled , says Charles
H. Durbank in the New York Independent.
Indeed , It Is by no means settled that
stenography ought not to be taught to all
children perhaps tven before our ordinary
cumbrous sjstem of writing. We can hardly
conceive that a knowledge of telegraphy
should bo m-eful except to those who are
to make their living by it , for not every
house can have a wire attached ; but a
method of quick writing Is useful to every
body. The use of t.'io needle , everybody
now admits , should bo taught In public
schools. PG that every girl shall learn to
sew , nnd so the primal y use of tools , It Is
now geirrally acknowledged , should bo
taught to bo > & . it enters into all our best
education i\ery family tan expect to
ha\o n sowing machine. And It will be
more and more- understood that a girl must
understand and be taught how to use the
fixed needle as well as the free needle
With the typewriter the case Is some
what different from what It Is with the
sewing machine. Like the latter the type
writer can be ued to make a living with.
Both typcw liter and sowing machine arc
useful In every house , the latter for the
women of the family and the typewriter
equally for both sexes. But the typewriter
Is useful not only for Its practical use , but
as an adjunct in the general education of
children.
The great blot upon the sjstem of educa
tion Ib the Immense waste of time required
in learning to spell and to write. Probably
no less than two yeais of every child's life
is wasted In teaming to recognize and read
words which are not to be pronounced as they
are spoiled , and then to spell them and then
to write them In a different script from that
In the reading books , as well as In a way
that differs from the pronunciation. For
scholais not tlie brightest the waste Is- more
than two jears. and they may never learn.
Our language has to be learned word by
word , like the Chlncbe ; for we' have an arbi
trary spelling for every word ; but , unlike
the Chinese , our language Increases the
difficulty ot education , because we make the
written page differ utterly from the printed.
Learning to spell and learning to write are
the most disagreeable , wearisome tasks set
before our children at ochool. They have ,
all but the mobt ambitious , to bo driven to
them , and their whole education la retarded
by this meet serious burden of difficulty and
i evulsion.
What a child can do only Imperfectly and
with difficulty with Its untrained muscles ,
with muscles that ought not yet to bo
trained , It Is delighted if It can do mechan
ically , automatically and perfectly. A child
hates to sit down in a cramped pcsltlon and
try laboriously to form a series of lettero
after a pattern , nut set that child down
before a machine , let It touch a key on which
Is the printed letter with which It ia familiar
In a book , and then let it tee that letter
perfectly represented on paper , the result
of Its touch , and that child Is delighted. Ho
will sit for a half hour at a time , and call
It play , copying a lesson. All the child's
ambition Is excited to do the work well , and
he can do it with no fatlguo of position or
of fingering. He has the satisfaction of
doing his work well , doing Itell by ma
chine ; and his rapid progress to an added
delight. Teachers who have had the ex-
peilenco In hchool of the uae of the type
writer , agree In this testimony , and so do
parents who are wise enough to allow the
child to learn the machine at home.
The use of the machine Insures accuracy.
The child easily ecca that his work agrees
with the copy ; It Is In the bame kind of type.
The fascination of the machine attracts him
to the repeated trials bv which correctness
is acquired. He sect ) that proper punctua
tion and division of words Into syllables ,
the right use of capitals , and the right In
dentation of paragraphs are all Important ;
and these niceties of manipulation which
uceiii relatively unimportant In handwriting ,
when all the attention Is given to the forma
tion of Ictteis , coma out In their real Im
portance when the attention Is entirely re
moved from shaping letters and U given to
spelling , punctuation , capitalization , etc ,
The child takes a pleasure In writing a letter
when he can bay , "This looks like a book. "
nut this Implies that a child begins to
use the machine when very joung the
younger the better. Children of G or C leirn
their letters on the machine ; there Is no
better way ,
nut If they use tliu machine they will not
learn to write a beautiful hand , nut how-
few do. The present system tries to teach
a copper-plate hand , almost always falls ,
and those who learn It glvu It up when they
grow old enough to write without thinking
how they form the U'tteiu. Of course pains
must bu taKen with loirnlng to write well ,
but everything must not bu sacrificed to It.
They Irani all the faster for the privilege of
doing correct work , almost from Infancy ,
certainly In the middle grades with the ma
chine * .
All this In not mere theory ; It lias been
tested and proved in practice. U has been
tried In many schools with good success ,
The principal of the State Normal school
at Lock Haven , Penn. , eajs :
"I have obnervc-d that atudont using the
typewriter make rapid progrcfs In orthog
raphy , capitalization , punctuation and ex-
pretalon , "
The superintendent of the Canandalgua
( N. V. ) Free school eays. referring to the
three typewriters In his school1
"I find them extremely practical , and be
lieve there Is nothing to compare with them
for developing good English , In the
copying that Is done by scribbling , which
makes legible writing by the majority of
pupll.j illegible , the typewriter would roan
bring a new order of things , i hive cenfl-
dence that a great future [ a before it in
school work. "
The Gloucester ( Mais. ) Hlph school was
the flret of the New England High schools
to adopt the typewriter as part ot Its regu
lar and permanent , outfit. Mr. A. W.
Ilachelor , the principal , saja ;
"Wo are more firmly convinced than ever
of the utility and high educational value of
the ' typewriter. Particularly doea this ap
pear' In. the line of Bagllik work lu which
the errom of puw-timtlon , spoiling , para
graphing and condtfucllon are rendered all
the more glaring and noticeable In the cold
typo of the machine. "
TheccttMlmonknEof experienced teichers
might be IndcPailtel : * tnultlplloc. . They agree
that the typewriter Is nn exacting and unsparing -
sparing monitor and critic , unrelenting In
Its warfare on carej Riness , and yet stimu
lating even to thifflA leflS , In Its re it-
me H against all Incorrectness It reprimands
for every blunder. U fa not a mere machine
with which a stenographer can earn a living ,
but In Its use is n. most powerful and fas
cinating educator.
