Tins piobieie has bt en happily solved in our liiiih schools vvheie thev are located in tlie vicinity el cel'e.;s. The high !-choel at Easten, ler instance, pre paies such of its pupils :t, dc-en it for eutiance into Lafajette ceiiecp. The high school at Lancaster picp.itci pupils fei enterance into FiauLIm and M.u shall. At the piescnt tune the lull ipiel.i of schelaishijis owned by the city aie iiUed by jiaduatt.s of the hih school in our col lege. It has been the case for J eais that the Lancaster Iii-rli choel has steed in this oic.tnicitflatien te our college. The lepeit seems te iutitnate that the neinial schools, se far as they carry ferwaid a purely academic con e of study, evei and above their wetk of pie paiing te.ielieis ler the common schools, should arrange that ceuise with lefeieuce te the admission of their graduates into college. Aud we see no poed i easen why this should net ha done. If tliey ate. tided by the state iu pei forming puiely ucade mic weik, ap.iit lieui their ptepaiin-r ttacheis ferthe public schools, as we well knew some of them are, it is net fair that they should di.-ciimiuate against the academies and celleses, by se eideiiug tlieir ceuise thr.t their gadu ;te.s or students may net be prepared te cuter our col leges te complete their education. t There is in this, we knew, an implied complaint against the ceuise et study iu geme of our ueunal schools ; hut we think it is just. Iu some cases they anauge their course of study, te be pursued by these who de net intend te become teach ers in the common schools, in such a way as te discriminate against the colleges That is te say, they lay out a ceurse of study which emits some of the studies requited for entrance iute college, such as Latin or Greek, se that their graduates, although well up in e.hcr branches, are net far enough iu these te enter college, and in this way they aie compelled te pass Jrem the normal tc'ioel into the study of a profession without that preliminary study required by our cellegep, and which has leceived the sanction of ages. What is the wieng in this ? If students pteftjr net te study Latin and Greek, for iDstancp, as a pteparatien for professional study, why should the normal school compel tlieir studj ' Our argument is this : If the nor mal schools, by their eicn s'j);)(w,sheiild see proper te institute a course different, from the private academies aud iucoiperatcd colleges, as a pteparatien for professional, study, it would be all right. Yeung met., would have the right, then, te cheese between the two. But should they receive state aid te carry forward a work which is cleaily iu competition with the acad emies and colleges in the state, which re ceivc no support from the treasury of the state? Clearly, we think, net. They were net originally desiened te enter the field in competition with our established colleges. They were designed simply and only te prepare teachers for the common schools. Is it right then, that with state aid they should piovide and carry forward a course of academic study for these who de net intend te become teachers, iu lival- ry with our colleges? It may be said, .that question should be left free for young men te decide for them salves. If they prefer the normal school ceuise as their preparation for pro fessional study, they should be left free te cheese it. But if that view is endorsed, the state is clearly entering the field in competition with "the colleges, already es tablished under state law and state pio pie pio trctien. This, we.thinlr, is the wrong in the ca'-e. Either the normal schools should he compelled te conline their wetk, acoeiding te tlitir eiiginal design, te preparing teach ers for the common schools, or else they should se order their course of academic sudy as te work n injury te the established colleges. Other wise the state is forced iu this way te support a grade of schools that necessaiily come into competition with the recognized sjstem e. colleges. In this way the state is made te contradict itself. The aigumcut has been made, we knew, that the normal schools must maintain an academic ceune. apait from the direct professional teaching, became such piehm i liar j study is nece-sary for tlu.su who are te le tiained for leaul.itig ; and that the academies aud colleges de uotpievide this. Hilt veil if this weie the case, then the netti.al schools still should provide it only ler these who aie piepating te teach, and net for ..tudents geneially. We knew that some of our neinial schools de picpare students for college, and they thus o-epeiato in a pmper way with the colleges. We think this might prepet I be done in all our r.eimai schools. It is net fail te raise the queslieu v. hether the ueunal school course is net better for all pm poses of higher ed ucation than the usual college course. That is setiHtitms done. But the state sits tly never designed that they should be come nvals of the eellegrs. And when that position is taken, this exigency atises te which the siipeiinteiidcnt leius when In- as. ''the interest is tee sacred te al lw a:ithing vhich:naj mar the organism by setting it paits one against another." It is a fair question whether our higher education may net be improved by making it moie practical, but it never was designed that the slate should giant money te a class of schoelt; iu elder te settle that question by instituting a livalry between the normal schools and the colleges. Just there lies the wieng. If the normal schools were suppeitid in such rivalry by private funds alone, as the colleges are, the competition would be fair ; but te use the funds of the state for such a pur pose is net 'air. TheKanu citizens that cive their money te endow colleges aie, in this way, compelled te pay taxes te support another class of schools in compe tition with these The state would net allow its Hinds te be nsd, for ins ance, te Btippeu anetherniedic.il school in rivalrj with i hi: medical schools established under it- pteHcti hi by private tirtniticence.

Silk novelties innumerable and indescribable. Everything that ladies or dressmakers have occasion for in matching, deco rating, combining. What we are remarkable for, mere than for anything else in silks, is va riety ; or, at least, we are re puted se. Yeu hear it said by ererybedy: "If you want te match anything, or find a rare silk, even an unexpectable one, go te Wanamaker's." .The ether peculiarity that everybody expects te find here is less pleasant te spealc of; lower prices. We put it second, because there are people who don't credit us with lower prices. Still, we imagine that if one should assert the con trary, almost everybody in Phil adelphia would believe it.
