with tba customary beading that eompjetes tba physical framework of humanity, to become ao infatuated ia ao hopelCM aa idiocy aa that indicated by Prefoasur Soomp, of Georgia. Local optica or high license, by effacing the lower grade of aaloona and redueing tba amount of drunkenoeM and its costly or mortifying effects, must familiariM tba community with tbo benefit* of sobriety oven whoa nnattuinsd by legal constraint. Tha tendency.of this familiarity ia naturally aad iaaritabiy toward an extension of tha beaefleant agency; that ia, toward prohibition. A Congressional prohibitory law ia about a* probable as a Congressional law requiring tha annnal cotuumpiioo of a barrel of whisky by each booMhold of flv* persons or over, to iuersnse tba internal ravaoue. Prohibition, w bather enacted by State or National legislation, can not b# enforced te the only places where it la Beaded, tha large cities. In many rural raglona a law is hardly needed to establish a cloae exclusion of liqoor in all forms as a drinking and druaken supply. Tha broadest aud most obvious way, bowevsr, to prohibition in onr large cities, is a high license law which will make the tsx-psycr feel the relief of a treasury that ia not filled out ol bis pockets, while at the Mine time be must help provide in some way for the necessitous families of drnnken men. Ha gets used to tba batter condition, nnd with fismiltnrity grows up an increasing disposition never to change except by making liquors too bard to coma by to b* a general or popular “guzzle.” Instead of obstructing a prohibitory law, which can never ba affective in large cities, local option or high license are the surest and strongest helps to iis final sueeess. These "whole-loaf-or-no-bread” men are among the wont enemies that all reforms have to encounter. Free School Books. We are as heartily in favor of smashing the School Book Trust as is our esteemed contemporary the Sentinel. Let us push altogether, not only to smash but to make such a melaouhcliy wreck of it and swmp the State so clean of the splinten that the effort will not be toon needed again. But let us while doing it not eommit ns bad or a worse blunder. Let us not create an official Sebool Book Trust, which will be without even tha semblance of competition, and which will have that attraction tor perpetuity to whichever party wins, that ail bureaus of office-holders controlling contracts and machinery ot employment have. For the State to go into lb# business of school-book making is not in tba interests of good politics nor of economy. It is n complication of State affairs unnecessary, and will answer no good purpose while it ia in the way of answering many evil once. The method, tried in California ba* proven a failure there. Tha Saa Francisco Chronicle tells of the course of the experiment there. Under a table submitted by the State Printer the Stale embarked in tba buainess of making school-books. The table was the average price of seven books, namely, Speller, Firat Reader, Second Reader, Third Reader, Arithmetic, Grammar and History, st 17.99 cents each, or $89,950 for 500,000 copies. In coune of time came a second announcement that a new grade of prices would have to be fixed, ns follows: First Render, 15 cents; Third Render, 40 cent*, and Speller 20 cents, for which the first estimates were: For First Reader, 91 cents; Third Reader. 2-11 cents; mid Speller 81 cents. But ns a matter of fact, says the Chronicle, it is demonstrated tun? every one of these text-books will cost tbs Slate 72 cent*. Thus to
tabulate:
First estimate (tversge) 17 99 cents Second selling price (average) cents Actual co»t to Stats (average).. 72 cent* These figures of the actual cost are derived from the fact that 165,000 books have been published, and that $121,068 have been scent, directly or indirectly in their man u fact are. Thus it is pretty certain to be always. While we might reduce the coat to iht children of tbs State, we should be taxing avarybody in tha Stats for aa much aa tba cost ia now, aod in addition hava a comprehensive political machine that will sooner or later be run in the interest of potties and become corrupt. The way for tha State to do is to buy tha books by contract from people who are in the bookmaking busineae. That principle ie adopted by the moat enlightened States in other matters. Soch States hire the education of their deaf mute children, and tha care of tbeir insane from pereona who are ia that business. It is the way the Goverumeot builds its ships. It is the way to get the best, the cheapest at tbs least risk. W* commend these things to the Legislature. Let it look at them carefully and settle them aright

Through ua intimate friend of Dr. Cleveland, tbe new aad popular pastor of Meridian Street M. E. Church, it has Jsaksd ont that some weeks ago the reverend gentleman found his way, on a Saturday night, to one of th* theater*, where a riotous comedy was ou tho board*. It happened in thie way: Having been long interested in sir. Riley’s poems, tbe Doctor was anxious to bear them read by their anther. He saw in tbe papers end on the placards placed about tbo oity that the poet would give s Seeding Saturday night, but did not observe particularly where ths readings w»uld be givtn. He was not well sequsinted with ths location of ths several places of smuiemsnt, and when tbs Saturday night cams he started out hurriedly and walked down Meridian street to the Circle, where he saw people goiog into English's Opera House. In an absent-minded mood be followed tbe crowd iute the entrance-way, and, stepping up to the ticket office, as others bad done, asked “When the performance began?” The information was given, and purcaating a ticket ter a reserved seat in tbe middle of tbe houM, th* reverend gentlemen went to it and was surprised at finding so many seats nnoccupied. Tbe curtain waa down. The audience did not look literary. The faces showed no signs ot that fine frenzy which understands and enjoys good poetry. The Doctor was troubled end had queer thoughts about tbe culture of Indiaospolis. it was the first literary assemblage ha bad seen in ths city. He saw no face that he recognirad. Could ft be tbst hia own congregation did not like tbeir own local poet? Presently the cartain was rung up, sad a man sitting at a table on 'he left of the stag* began talking, be salt some pas donate things with n fine voice, finely modulated. Could it be that he was Mr. Nye? In a few moments a girl came in from tbe other side of the stage and said some rather soft things, and then there were two of them; they talked queerly to each other. Then a wagon drove across tbe rear of the stage, and a man slighting from it began to declaim to the gentleman by the table; they became angr>; bet words were said; pistols were used. It was now clear to the new person from Philadelphia that he had got into the wrong pew! and that he was listening to some kind of—not very high comedy. He was chagrined. it was not s very profitable thing in itself, nor a very nice thing for a clergyman to be seen by his congregation in a theater listening to n cheap play on a Saturday night! He looked caretully over the audience, but saw no one whom he recognized. He was glad bis people were not tbera. After about filteu minutes the curtain went down on the first act, and the Doctor gathered up his hat and coal, and, in outward dignity, but inward agitation, beat a hasty retreat to the street. tie a*ked tbe first gentleman he met where Mr. Riley was to read that evening and wa* directed to the Grand Opera II»u«a, where he was soon listening with delight to the quaint and pathetic lines of the poet he had long known and admired. He found himself surrounded by hosts ot people with the literary look, many of whom he recognized. A SAMPLE SCUGOL PROBLEM.
Are th* Young Children Tortured Without Being Infttructea?
A parent complains of the orer-taxing of pupils in th* public reboots, and thinks the requirements at examination tor admission to High School severe. She cites a* ad example the third question in the recent examination, which reads as follows: “Bought land at $60 an acre; how much must I ask an acr* that I may deduct 25 per cent, irom my asking pries and still make 20 per sent, on the cost?” Such question* have been asked for years, and it is certain that the pupils thi* year have not suffered more than tboss heretofore. The question is whether such things should be asked of pupils fifteen years ot age. Th* piss that they are of no practical n*e is always a ready one with parents, while the teachers take up tbe doctrias of “mental exercise.” Possibly the parents are too hasty in taking sides with their children, They have ootstndied arithmetic for years and would probably be surprised at tbe readiness with which tbeir offspring with knowledge fresh io mind can answer questions which would pu/.zle their wise brows. The problem in question comes under the head of ‘’Analvtui.” Thi* is a pert *f arithmetic taught after the simpler rnies have been learned, and “the book” ia almost finished. This is intended to test the perception of ths pupil, to make him understand what h* is doing as well as loiiow rules, it is taught in very gradual steps, beginning with examples that seem almost absurd iu their simplicity, even to the pupil, and leading up to th* mors difficult kind of which the problem giveu is so example. Problems of this kind are solved time and again by tbe pupils. It i* Quite evident that this wn* purposely simplified; 25 and 20 per cent, are nsed os assy fractions of a hundred. Tbe well-trained pupil, after some thought, transforms the question, and oaks: “Sixty dollars plus one-fifth of itself is thre*-fourths of what?” It must be acknowledged that it would take a fitteea-year-old pupil some tim* to think of this. Rut It is also acknowledged that this is one of th* hardest problems in the examination, and the pupil has considered e number by it. It takes sharpness to distinguish it from other kinds *f problems in the puzzling subject of analysis, but it ie one of the object* of the teachers to bring about this keeanes*. Whether this ie a commendable object end whether this quality of mind ia desirous at the cost it tukM to bring it about it an open question.

I think such d.acusslo . is t ma y, but back of the cost of school-books it ihe Inet that tbe present method of supplying our children with text-books is entirely wrong in principle, and if boqks could be turnlshed st one temu of the price we now pav still tbo prineiole would be the same. We all talk ot our sp endid free school system. Do we ever stop to ibihk that we have no such system? Outside of the State of Maasachusebs and some forty or fifty towns in some other Mates which have a parmis^ery law, Use tha Ma-sachuseus compuieoty law, allowing town* to adopt the tree h xt book system, there are no free schools.

I can barely furnish bread for tbeir mouths, say tiothiag about bread for their minds. I send my children to the ‘‘Ire* public school,’’ but with no books I r.m too poor to buy them; what is the resu t? Is there a tree public school lor my children? I say no. There miv be a free ichool bouse, free fuel te heat the house, a free teachs r, but there ore no free books, hence lor my children there are no free schools. TV> yon »«y that the cases where parents can not fnniish bo»k< for their children are extremely rare? Thank God that is the case, but ihe fsc t that the average school attendance in th* Stale of Massacnu.-etts since the adoption of th* free school book system has Increases nearly 15 per cent, prove* th.~.t there are many more parents who find it hard ta supply books than we think. I have reports from about thirty School bupermteuasnts In the State of Massachu.etts, atm without exception they speak in the highest term* of tho wo-king of the law.
