Commencement ex- hibitions, gotten wup like Barnum’s show, regardless of expense, afford no insight into the efficiency of teach- ers, the thoroughness of their method of instruction or thy | utility of the branches taught | A young man after going through months of training may declaim from the stage with as much grace asa trained orator, and yet he may be un- able to measure a stack of lumber, as- certain the dimensions of a cistern, write a plain receipt or give a correct outline of the mechanism of a ateam engine, A girl may read her commencement casay with the most dramatic effect, and yet be unable to tell whether Alaska i located near the equator or the Suez canal connects the Atlantic with the Pacific ocean, Out of the 5,000 pupils en- rolled in the public schools of Omaha | only eight have completed the high school course this year, and it is taken for granted that they are fitted to en- ter upon any vocation, either profos- | 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 came into general use the educational prob- lem was very simple. - Schooling was arranged for two classes, The chil- dren of the poor and middle classes were taught the three ‘‘r’s,” reading, ritin' and rithmetik, to which, in some instances, was added local geography. ‘That supplied all their wants of an education.. Boys of thirteen and even at an earlier age, were bound ap- prentices for from three to five years to some mechanic 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 sweeping the store and braying the mortar, and ended with becoming confidential clerk or manager. The wealthier class that aspired to professional honors were trained in colleges and universities. Their edu- cation in any of the professions was complete when they received their university diploma. These conditions no longer - exiat. The introduction of steam and elec- tricity,with their marvellous mechani- cal appliances, have done away with the apprentice system, A mechanic without an education is a mere machine. He may stand ata drill, a trip hammer, or a lathe from day to day and year to year and he knows no more at the end of that time than when he began. He merely becomes proficient in handling one part of a machine, but has little or no chance of ever becoming independ- ent. It is 8o with the boy that desires to follow mercantile life. There are no merchants' apprentices now, and each clerk is merely a machine roquired to measure up 8o many yards or weigh 8o many pounds of goods, To u great extent professional training is also radically changed. A sheepskin from one of the thousands of American universities or colleges is no longer a passport over the highway to professional success, It is self-evident that the whole system: of eduction must be directed to practical ends. If we want our boys to bocome masters of any trade or profession, they must have a train- ing that will acquaint them with the elementary principles of all the natu- ral forces now utilized by man, They must know the principles of air, steam, caloric electricity and magnetism. They must know the rudiments of chemistry and should be thoroughly familiar with the higher mathematles and other branches of learning indispenaible in: practical life to a successful artizan, a thorough business man or finished professional, Qur; public schools ~ should aim to instruct as far as possible the tech- nical and industrial branches, leaving dead languages and theoretical stud- ies to people who have ample means and time to gratify theirltastes in that direction, or to Tux largest purchase of lapd ever made in the world by a single person was that completed on Friday last, when Hamilton Desson, a prominent must on me for very firmly refusing to allow my name to be used in that tion.

At the death of the czar 11 the liberal element in Russia enter- tained great expectations of happy re- sults from the accession of Alexander 1. These expeotations do not scem to have been realized. The prisons in Russia are 8o crowded that the prac- tice of administrative deportation which Gen. Mehkoff sought to abol- ish will have to be continued on extensive scale. Siberia is a distant and dreary region. Only two or three involuntary exiles have over returned from it, and yet it no morecxclusiveiy a penal settlement than Australin s at theso days. Thero is this difference, however, that the natives of Sibera, whether of Russian extraction or not, are entirely destitute of loyalty and affection toward Russia. If the nihi- lists wore not likely to precipitate a crisis in Russia at an early date, the sentiment growing up in Siberia would eventually be as hostile toward that empire as the feeling of Trish settlers and their descendants in this country is bitter toward England. Enemies of the land league speak apprensively of the greater Ireland in America, and were the present course of events to continue long there would be a great anti-Russia in Siberia, In spite of the enormous bounty of- fered by the French government for shipping built in France, we notice by the Liverpool Steam Shipping Circu- lar that British can still outbid French builders, One reason is that French resources are so limited that English builders have a large share of the work. The French yards have now orders for some years to come. This compels ship-owners in that coun- try to contract with English builders. The cost of bnilding in England is al- 80 8o 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 more than coun- terbalanced by the extra cost, and consequent greater depreciation, insur- ange and interest. British steamers are also said to be better built. Sev- eral French orders for steamers of 3,000 to 4,000 tons dead-weight ca- pacity have lately been placed in Eng- land. Iron sailing ships, 1,800 tons register, we sce by the circular, are now being built in England at £12 to £13 per ton, Alexander an the —— The point in Mr. Gladstone's Trish policy which has been most severely criticised is the preference in respect to the time which he gave to coercion bills over his measures for ameliorat- ing the condition of the people. The conservatives supported his coercion measures with alacrity, and were evi- dently glad to aid in fostering a sys- tem of ceercive laws upon Ireland at the expense of the liberal munistry. But Gladstone did not effect an al- liance with his opponents which helps him materially with his land bill. So far the opposition has shown itself, in working with the extreme Irish party, for delay rather than in direct antag- onism to the bill. But delay with the landlords in the enjoyment of the pro- tection afforded by the power of arbi- trary arrest granted them 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 populace is exposing itself to a further manifestation of power on the part of the government. The lat- est repressive measure announced in preparation forthe unfortunate Irish is a substitution of what ave termed ‘‘Special commissions for trials by jury in a certain elass of cases.” The spec- ial commission is' s0 much like a court martial that it _wopld be a waste of time to point ont tho difference. The judges, appointed by the government, have the decision of cases in their own hands. The suspension of trial by jury is in fact a suspension of the eon- stitution and the bxercise by the gov- ernment of extraordinary powers on the plea of necessity. The coftee erop 1s falling oft’ in Bra- zil, This is attributed to political causes, Brazil has two parties—one of which may be called the republican party, and the other the party of free- dom. Tt has frequently been stated thut a respectable portion of the no- bility, and a majority of ihe commoa people of Brazil, desired that the country should be converted into a republic on the death of the present emperor. Dom Pedro stands so high in the affection of his subjocts that nothing of the kind will be attempted during his reign. It has been hoped, however, that when that reign termi- nated public sentiment would be so preponderating for the change that no difficulty would be encountered in ef- being under the control of the board of internal improyement of the state of focting it. But it seems that obstacles to this result are being interposed not Florida. The tract is nearly as large | heretofore anticipated. The work of a8 the entire state of New Jersoy, and the greator part of it is susceptible of cultivation, converting a monarchy into a republic without revolution, or war of some kind, has occurred very aarely in his- tory. Spain is an instance in point, but her republican laurels were worn only for a brief period. The throne of 8pain was re-erected, and a king occupies it to-day The party of freedom in Brazil causee, perhaps, more profound agitation. This party declares that slavery shall be abolished in the empire. By a singular coinei- dence the party of freedom had its origin, and exists in the northern part of Brazil. It is in the south where the coffee plantations are prin- ocated, and where it is con- cipally tendoed that without slave labor coffee raisming will have to be abandoned. The southern cotton planters of this country used similar arguments before the war, buy it is now seen that their profits are much larger, and their erops more abundant, than they were in the days of slavery. immediate danger of any strife in Brazil. Tf there ever should be such a thing as a civil war—and that is not anticipated—it will be after Dom Poedro’s death. A full and free discussion of all the points of differ- There is no internal ence involved can have none other than a 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 Aventists for the destruction of the world, and a large number of ignorant canadians wero sorely disap- pointed at at ite failure to fulfil its part of the programme, In expecta- tion of the grand spectacular finale, which they had reckoned upon for the 19th, they had neglected to put in their crops, and had devoted their time to prayers, As one sturdy but credulous fellow put it: “I doan’t know zactly what to think., I says to a nabur o’ mine & week ago: ‘Waal, if the world’s {o come to a hend on the 19th of June, T bean’t agoin’ to wore an' I hayn’t; nathur hes my na- bur. There's quite a ‘number honhus hout] hour way who 'as a aquit labo’ an' agone to prayin’ an’' a gettin’ ready for the crash-up an’ smash-up, a8 you'd say.” The smash failed to put in an appearance and the pious farmers are now left to bemoan their own mmprovidence. Thers seems to be only one thing which the French will take from the Germans, and that is their beer. Last yoar the consumption amounted to 300,000 hectolitres, which was an increase of 260,000 hectolitres in 16 years, and 293,000 in 27 years, the consumption in 1853 having been only 7,000. In the whole of France, about 8,000,000 hectolitres are now produc- ed. One chief cause of the increased consumption is believed to be the bad- ness of the wine and the growing ten- dency to the use ef adulterating sub- stances in it. German men of letters to scem toex- 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 here about two years, but during that time he has displayed such qualities as to make those who know him feel no slight re- gret for his departure. Worthily in- heriting the traditions of his literary predecessors here, Mr. White has preserved the special character of the American Legation as a hospitable gathering centre for all that is intel- lectual and attractive in the society of the capital, so that those who frequent his spacious saloons in the Behrenstrasse are almost tempted to fancy they are be- ing ontertained, not by the munister of the great commonwealth of the west, but by an ambassndor from the Republic of Lotters. “The Guest of the Evoning” was then given--at the banquet to Mr. White—by Prof. Gneist, a tower of strength in the field of -Anglo-Saxon constitutional history and law and the Doven of the Doctrinaires, so to speak, in the im- perial parliament. Mr. White replied in a 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 postprandial and parliamentary oratoryare much more successfully cultivated than in Germany. He was quite ready to admit the English originof his country and its insti- tutions, but while Grest Britain has had its past parent, he thought he 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—he could count up all those of his youthful compatriots who frequented English universities on the fingers of one of his hands— and he was now going home to resume hus functions as a professor of history and to inspire the minds of those who would have to determine the future relations between 'the United States and the mighty German Fatherland with the same exalted admiration and affoction for the latter as he felt him- self, — Soribuer -'“lx The subject of Art, which the pub- lic expect to treated, in some form, in every number of Scribner, is represented in _the J number b two papers, by Mr. W, C, Bmmlz One of these is the third of the series on *“The Yo Painters of Amer- ica," with ion or illustration of the work of Mr, Sergent, Mr. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SA'I‘URDAY, JUNE 25,1881 | ing and alarming way.
