It would be anexcellent thing if the best of what hasbeen presented at these va- rious meetings of educators and thoso interesiod i the promotion of education could e collected and published ina form tocommand popular attention and eare- ful perusal,but unfortunately a gr L of tho thought and exporience which is worthy of heing prosorved for the instruction of the public is permitted toperish with its appearance in the col umns of the newspapers, -where, as a rule, only the merest ubstract of it is given. Tt s not necessary to conclude from this that it is lost, but simply that its influence and usefulne i y curtailed. Thegreat body of tes oot the benefit of it, but it is des 150 that the publicshould be made ac- quainted with it more fully than is pos: blethrough the columns of the news- papers, Among the many interesting facts drwn from the recent expressionsof educational opinions the superior pro- aress which the west is making in inter- mediale or secondary, it not primary, tion is significant. New England lost its long-maintained supremacy i peet, and other portions of the y o longer warranted in to that section for the altainment in this grade of educational work. The decline of New England in this particular is attributed tothe greter age, complacency, and unprofessional qualifications of the city and state school superintendents, and this probally goed far to explain the fact. Aneaston journal, referring to the meetdng of teachers at St. Paul, r marlked that “the great fact most strik ingly impressel upon overy competent observer wus the superiority of the west- tern over the New England teacher in wofesionl Interests and wide pro- fessional reading and intell gence, mot to say also in phy- sique” Just as in financial and bu ness affairs the most aggressive energy and enterpriseof the enst has found its Test opportunitiy in the west, so the more progressive among the educators of Now Englnd have in tho past aloptea the advico of Horace Greeley, leaving the care of the edncational in- terests of that section to those who lncked the ambition to launch out into new and broader fields, The men and women who remained under the old con- srvalive influences have naturally grown more complncent, while mean- time those who came forth to scure the greater opportuni- ties and larger rewards of the vig orously advancing west impressed th progressive spivit, inspired and stimu- lited by their environment, upon the educational system. Everything has contmbuted -in the west to produce a class of earnest and aspiring teachers In noother section is the popular inter st inthecause of education more gen- eral and zealous than in the west; no- vhere else are the opportunitics and re- rdsof the woll trained and progressive teacher better; in mo other portion of the country does the educator stand ligher in public respect. And all these favorable conditions toeducational improvement and progress will be of in- definite duration. The time is yet re- mote when the aspiration for highered- wational development will no longer find encouragement in the west, A dis- tingruished edicator connected with one of the leading universities of the cast recently said that in half acentury from the present the centers of education woull probably be somoe of the growing state universities of the west, suwh as those of Michi- gan, Minnesota and Nebraska., The tendency in that divection is clearly mavked. This yoar’s meetings of educators have shown that there is an unprecedented activity in all educational interests. They have been attended by college and university presidents to an extent never before known, and many of these have talcen anactive and prominent part in the deliberations. All such evidences of a broadening and deepening concern in the cause of education are inthe high- st degree renssuring, since they con- tain the promise of impending changes in the direction of higher achievement and better results, Thero will be no danger to popular cducation in this country so Long as those devoted to edu- catimal work are alert, vigilant and earnest in seeking improvement, SCUSSION, Looking highest FOR UNIVERSAL The member congre Moniay for (leir eamestiess and sincerity, al- though all i umstan to demonstrate the futility of th ingsand efforts.

For yoars peace has been main- tained in Furope only by the main- tonance of vast armaments, but the wisest slatesman of the old world feel that sooner or later a conflict must come that will surpass in destruct- ive fury any that has yet taken place in human history, The great powers are steadily increasing the strength of their armaments, while seience and invention wre busy, stimulated by the assurance of h rewards, in devising surer and swiller means of destruction than those now in In the same breath that rulers talk of peace they call for larger allowances already heavily over-taxod ts to incrense the armics and render more formidabl wies and fortifi- cations. But rumors of war and war- like preparations are not confined to Ku- rope. liven now two of the states of Central Ameriea are marshaling armies in anticipation of hostilities for which all the condit ripe, while the others 1ook on at the preparations ready to side with one or theother as soon as the first blow shail be struck. There is no real cause of war between these states, no misunderstanding that could not eusily bo sottled without an appeal to the sword, but probably nothing short of war will quict the antagonism that has boen aroused between them without any ad quate roason, Even in our own countr safoas it would soem to bo in its isola- tionand in freedom from any en- tangling allisnces with other nations, thedisposition to prepare for possible waris active, We are constructing a nayvy the bogimning of which promise of an establishment that will ultimately rival the best in the world.

REPULSIVE FUNERAL CUSTOMS. Americans seem loth to surrender the customs of heathen natiuos in the burial rdead. We still borrow from the recks and Romans. Among the imes, as well as in the olden days of the ropublic of Rome, funerals were the oeccasion of great dis- The processions were headed by musicians, these followed by hired mourners who lamented and sang the funeral songs, and the demonstrations varied only with the wealth of the de- ased. Inour country funerals were once more commonplace thannow. The fashion for gaudy parades and assumed grief secems to intensify with time. Tt s often the case that the man of the least consequence while living becomes of the most importance when dead. Enthusi- astic mourners who would have refused a dollar to the living and closed their doors upon him, are lavish in their ap- preciation and money for the corpse. Accordingly a great deal of it becomes a cheap and silly affectation, a public ex hibition of counterfeit sympathy oroide attemptat respect. It is fitting and properand in the nuture of things that relatives who were upon terms with the departed, and friends of the deceased should form the melancholy proces- sion to follow the remains to their last restihg place, but the mockery of stylish processions whose respect is com- puted by their lengthor the number of forced mourners comprising them, has grown to be disgusting and should cease, When a citizen dies he should be mourned ashe was admired or respected while living. The ¢ fashion that is called respect when thero isno respect init, should Dbo tabooed. Charity sug- gosts this and courvesy should demand it. Another funeral custom that is out of place is the one that demandsmourning. Henry Ward Beccher expressed a desire that his relatives shkould not wear mourning for him when he died. And his wish was faith- fully observed. Dickens, in his will, ex- pressed himself strongly upon this sub- ject when he directed that those who at- tended his funeral “wear no scarf, cloak, black bow, long hat band or other such ? Those who re- member his ereation of the funcral of Anthony Chuzzlewit, with its **walking attendants dressod in the first style of funcral fashion” will know how thor- oughly he disapproved, not only of the black cloaks and the long black hat bands, butalso of the hired mutes, the 1ds, sombre plumes and other trap- pings which were 80 long considered as anccessary part 6f an English funeral, Decent respset and appropriate ob- ion are both demanded. But in go the tendency should be to mal monies connected with the ded bright with flowers and full of hope to the friends. And the shams who sud- denly find great roverence for the de- parted should have respect enough for the grief-stricken living to remain aw: from the funeral services and keep out of the funeral procaessions. ce NTION iscalled to the instructive showing the actual cost, per Bu gton rai y, com- Charl .
