He was a prominent member of the Grand Army, and also belonged to several veteran corps. At the outbreak of tho Rebellion ho entered the volunteer corps, serving with distinction on many hotly-contested fields. He was badly wounded in several battles, and once sav ed both his legs by drawing a pistol on tbo surgeon who was about to amputate them. When Leo surrendered Colonel Fitzpatrick returned to Hazlcton and established a wide-spread fame as a popular hotel-keeper. Ho subsequently built tho Central Hotel, one ot tho finest in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and managed it for a num ber of years. In 1878 ho was overtaken by business reverses and lost all his posses sions, but heroically went to work again. He was buried with military honors on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Col. Fitzpatrick was the father of J. C. Fitzpatrick, who for several years was tho popular assistant at the Exchange Hotel of this town. Eattt Ilentou.

Cotoraujc f There Is a person writing for tho Stntinrl on tho above subject over tho signature of G. It. 11. who characterises tho public I school system as an "educational mon- arcny we aro oueu icu to wonucr wny some people always oppose tho best Inter ests of a community at large, or why thoy assail that which Is good. No natural born citizen ot tho commonwealth of Penn sylvania ot tbe present generation but has had tho privilege of a common school edu cation, It ho failed to obtain It tho fault lies not with the public Bcbool system. This system was an experiment which many localities rejected, until Us good re sults brought it In favor with all the people. Thu public school system was not forced upon any township, or school district. Tbo system was established on the prlnclplo that all districts, or townships accepting It should receive aid from tho state, or an appropriation. Tills principle is still carried out and no doubt always will bo. It was a number ot years bctoro all the districts finally accepted tho public school system. G. it. U. would find that this "educational monarchy" is tbo most noble and beneficial Institution over de vised by human Ingenuity and tho most securely died In the popular will of tho pcoplo ot any Institution in tho annals of our government were It to be brought to a test. Our public schools are a suburb of tbo home, nnd nearly ovory homo has bocn, Is, and will continue to be represented in our public schools. Our public schools are as strong as tho homes of the people, tbey re present, and through our homes become more enlightened and cultured. Our pub. lie schools moreover, aro also tho funda mental part of our government, where our children learn obedience to gentle pro- ccpts and later on to reverence tho laws of tho land. It thcro was not sufficient powct to govern our children in the schools, the coming citizen would be mutinous to es tablished authority and defy tho laws of the land. No person can appreciate tho value of our nubile schools. It cannot be measured nor competed tn dollars and cints. What would our homes be without education, mencal culture and Intelligence? And how could these bo obtained without a free and popular system of education. In speaking of Dr. Z. Butt of 75 years ago. who through self denial and persoveranco obtained an education through which be accumulated a largo fortune by following a lucrativo profession, G. R. II. fails to tell us how many boys nnd girls of that day were brought up who could neither rend nor write, nnd when obliged to sign an ob ligation of any kind, could only make an unintelligible mark. Now show mo a child 10 years old that has not a fair knowledge of all tho rudl moots of the common branches required by law to be taught in tho public schools, ex- cept It bo from parents who lay all tho evil and crime at the door of education. li.

SDUCATOt. rtErorsT or tbs state commission ArroiSTXD rt the governor1. IlAiiRisnuRU, March IS, Tho commission appointed by tho Governor to make Inquiry respecting the subject of Industrial educa tion has presented its printed report to the Legislature Goorgo W. Athcrton, presl. dent of tho Pennsylvania 8tato College A. H. Fettcrolf, president of Glrard Collcgoi Nathan 0. rjchacfter, Kutztown Oeorgo J. Lackey, Pittsburg, nnd Representative Theodore V. Bean, of Norrlstown, com. posed tho commission. Tho resolution of tho Legislature authorizing the appoint, mcnt of this commission directed that It should report 1 Tho best means of promoting and main- tainlng industrial education In Its several grades 1 bow far it Is desirable to lncorpor. ate It into the existing system of public in. structlon and tho best method of training teachers for such school or departments. Tho commissioners, after giving a brief account ot tho origin of Industrial education and quoting from a number of authorities upon tho question, say t Wherever an attempt has been made to lntroduco manual training into tho public schools, whether in a special school, as In Now York, Now Haven and many other places, whether it has been supported by appropriations from tbe municipal treasury or by private contributions of public-spirited citizens, tbo result has boen the same; teachers, pupils and parents vie with each other In their testimony to Us beathtul and beneficial Influence. Wo bolievo that no Instance csn bo formed whero tho work, having onco been begun by the proper au'horltlcs, has been allowed to stop or to diminish. On tbe contrary In nearly, If not quite every case, where even a small and tentative beginning has been made, with the least possible expenditure of money, the work has been increased with the grow, ing approval and confidence of the com. munlty. THE GROWTH OP THE WORK. Its growth In New York City Is cited as tho most Btriking instance ot tbe rapid ex. tension ot the system. Within seven months the number of children receiving that form of instruction increased from a few hundred to 10,000. After referring to the fact that manual training has not yet been attempt ed in the rural schools, tho report says: The commission has no doubt, tboreforo, that while it is entirely feasible to introduce manual training into the schools of our moro favorable localities at once, it can not be generally done, except under special circumstances, until thu body of common school teachers In tho Stato have received special training for the purpose. For this reason we attach the very highest Import. ance to the normal schools of theotate with referenco to this work. The experience of Sweden and of France shows conclusively that a body of teachers can bo very rapidly formed. Manual training is now being taught tn nearly 800 schools in Sweden, and more than 100 school? In the city ol Paris alone have work shops attached. Normal schools and special courses havo been es tablished for the puposo ot training teach crs in tho work. In Sweden it is found that an ordinary teacher by spending six weeks in one. year and Ave weeks in the following year in a special course of manual training can ac quire all that is necessary for teaching its elements successfully. BENEFIT TO REFORMATORIES. The report next speaks of the importance ot the introduction of this system Into thu reformatory Institutions for youth of both sexes. In support of this the commission says: Tbe rapid increase of juvenile vice and crime in recent years has been very general Lv noticed and deplored. This evil, with Us attendant evil, pauper'sm, is chiefly confined to our cities and larger towns. Hero great numbers of children, especially thoso of poor families, arc growing up In Idleness and In Ignorance of all manuil oc cupations. Theso children arc brought up in an aimosphcro of vlco and Immorality, take up with crime at an early age and so become the enemies ot society and an ex. pense to tbe State. The amount of pernl. oiou3 literature devoured by thorn, is con- elusive proof that illiteracy can no longer bo blamed for juvenile delinquencies. When It Is remembered that at this time tno-tlfths of the population of the Stato re side in towns, tho lmportanco of this sub. ject will bo appreciated. In the opinion of tho commission it Is high tlmo for tbe State to exert itself to find a check for this con dition of things. To us thcro appear two remedies at hand. Tho first is manual train ing for tho public schools; tho second, State handicraft schools for all pauper, vagrant and homeless children, sbsfj THE RECOMMENDATIONS. The report of tho commission concludes with theso recommendations: That provision bo made for the introduc tion of manual training Into each Stato normal school, with a prescribed course of woodwork for nil students, ironwork for young men and sewing and cooking for young women, such courses to bo subject to modification from time to time under proper authority. The work should be ac companied at every step with a progressive coureo ot drawinc 1 uat an appropriation of $5000 be made to each State normal school for tho cstah lisbment cf tbe proper p lant, including building tools, equipments, etc., and further sum of $2000 annually tor main tenance. Thnt after April, 1890, no certificate or diploma be granted by a normal school to any pupil or graduate who shall not have completed at least tho equivalent ot a six weeks' course In woodwork. That tor the purpose of providing faelli ties for pursuing this course ot training to teachers already employed, and who may wish to acquire it, provision be made for the malntalntcnancu al present of a short Summer courso In woodwork and iron. work at the State College whero such In structlon has been maintained for several years. Tbat tbe State make a modcrato annual appropriation to be given on a uniform basis to such districts as shall undertake tbo cstabllsbmant ot manual training In or in connection with tbe public schools, with specific provision, however, that such fund whether provided by tho State or tho dls. trict, shall not bo usei for tho teaching of specific trades. That for tho purpose ot securing direct encouragement, oversight, guidance and inspection of all such work in tho Slate, special deputy superintendent ot public In structlon bo appointed iu tho manner now provided by law, with a sufficient salary to secure service ot thu highest order, who shall be assigned by tho superintendent ot public Instruction to special duty as iu spector of manual training. That provision bo made for the lmmedl ato Introduction of manual training, ar. ranged upou au educational method and for educational cuds, In connection with prescribed courso of elementary studies. into tbe reformatory Institutions provided by tho State for youth ol both sexes, but that In such cases no attempt be mado to teach specific trades, except so far as such trades may bu necessarily carried on for the purpose of supplying articles needed tor consumption In the Institutions them, selves. It tbo commlsssoln may venture to ug gest a recommendation upon a subject not entrusted to It by tbe resolution under hlch It was appointed we would respect. fully and most earnestly recommend that any change that may bo mado In provision for the maintenance of the soldiers' orphan schools, shall require tho Introduction of manual training, at least In woodwork for boys and sewing and cooking for girls, as an essential part ot tho courso of Instruc- 011. Accompanying tho report aro papers pre pared by Individual members of thu com. Isstnn to aid In reaching tho general von- elusions. Tho report also contains nearly four hundred pagos devoted to tho growth ot the system in the various states. Iteprescntattvo Bean has already Intro duced In the Houso a bill cmbodylog the rocommcndatlon of this commission. He has also prsentcd a bill asking for an ap propriation of $1,000,000 for manual train- g schools. This bill has been negatived by tho Committee on appropriations. Col. Bean will, however, endeavor to. have the bill placed upon the calcndor in tho House. Ho thinks the tlmo for beginning tho work of Industrial education in Pennsylvania has arrived, and he will do his level best to convince the House of this fact. The chances, however, of getting an extra $1,000,000 for this work at this session aro egarded by some of tho leaders of the Houso as very poor Indeed. Thero will doubtless be a lively fight over the question. The popular blood purifier, Hood's Sar. saparilla, is having a tremendous sale this season. Nearly everybody takes It. Try It yourself.
