Manual Training In Public Schools.
A question of live Interest to Scran
Vmlans has Just been discussed In de
tail by the school board of Wllkes
Barre; and thut bonrd, by a vote of 4
to 2, has decided to Introduce manual
training In the public schools, at a
primary cost of J:!0,0U0 and a yearly
maintenance cost of J.'i.OOO. This action
was taken after members of the board
had visited and studied the operation of
the various Industrial schools of Bos
ton, New York and Philadelphia.
The arguments presented by the four
members who signed the majority re
port traverse familiar grounds. It will
better bring out the subject to consider
the objections urged by Dr. Weaver and
Jlr. Smyth, the dissenting members.
Dr. Weaver was very favorably Im
pressed with the workings of the Sayre
Industrial school in Philadelphia but
found that the cost was $10 per month
per pupil while Wilkes-l'urre's very
efficient high school, with all its depart
ments, Including the business depart
ment, type writing and stenography,
costs only $2.30 per month per pupil.
He doubted the practicability of indus
trial training from a utilitarian stand
point unless conducted in a separate
and thorough school, the cost of which
would render Inexpedient Its mainten
ance by public taxation. He favored
leaving the problem to private philan
throphy, so long as the public school
funds were already. insulllclent to meet
the growing demunds for primary and
intermediate mental instruction. He
would, however, favor teaching the
girls how to cook and sew, and believed
that elementary lessons in mechanical
and free hand drawing and in certain
other forms of primary industrial train
ing could be established expediently. In
these arguments Mi Smyth concurred,
and presented further ones showing the
urgent need of amplifying the present
public school facilities before undertak
ing. an Innovation which at best would
be very much like a leap in the dark.
The foregoing Is a hastily prepared
abstract from a newspaper report which
was Itself merely synoptical. A perusal
of the two reports In full would doubt
less make clearer the sense of each. Our
purpose In alluding to the subject Is
to call attention to the general princi
ple so often forgotten In these days of
diversifying school activities that the
public schools should and must of ne
cessity remain elementary In character,
and confine their work to those broad
elements of a general education which
form the ground-work of all true In
struction. We hold, with Dr. Weaver,
that the state has no right to tax the
many in order that the few necessari
ly the few may receive free tuition in
the higher departments of educational
work. Private enterprise or private
. .generosity, or both, ought to be suffi
cient to meet these loftier require
ments. To meet them at the expense
of any one of the elementary require
ments would be like building a lofty
structure upon a foundation of sand.
Unsatisfactory Paving.
Alderman Madden, of Chicago, as the
chairman of a special paving commit
tee, recently made an exhaustive study
of the streets of European and Amerl
can cities. His principal conclusions
are embodied in the following short ex
cerpt from his long report:
The result of the experience of all the
cities of this country Indicates that only
inrce Kinds oi paving material have an
swered all condition and all require
ments for street pavements. These are
bricks, granite blocks and asphalt, dran
Ito pavement hus proved In all Instances
to la the very best for the heavy trallla
of central business streets. Asphalt pave
ments are growing In favor, Their lid
vantages are smoothness, slight resist
ance to traction, comparative noiseless.
ness and facility of repair. A properly
constructed and carefully maintained as
phalt pavement will wear for fifteen or
twenty years without resurfacing. Brick
pavements have been laid In several cltios
with more or less success. If bricks are
properly made, are of a uniform quality
and laid on a good foundation, they muko
a pleasant and lasting pavement on
streets where there is but llttlo traffic,
Wood block pavement has been an utter
failure In America. Telford pavement,
which has been luld In 8t. Louis and other
small cities, as originally constructed, Is
unlit for streets of heavy traffic. It is
scarcely necessary to discuss macadam.
It has been abandoned everywhere, even
in villages. Its disadvantages are that it
is dusty In dry weather, muddy In wet
weather, and that cleaning It means
carting away a considerable portion of the
pavement.
Scranton has. at one time or an on-
ther, tried pretty nearly every one of
the foregoing kinds of paving, except
possibly granite block, and it Isn't
stretching the truth very far to say
that none has been satisfactory in nil
resnects. This perhaps is due to a
combination of circumstances, includ
ing careless laying, indifferent mate
rials and the too frequent tearing up
of our Btreets. There is also said by
exDerts to be a peculiar difficulty In
paving the streets of a city that is
undermined, although we have never
been able to understand why.
But the chief reason for the unsatis
factory condition of local pavements no
doubt has been the lack of expert su-nervlslon.-
A city as large as Scranton
ought to have, in addition to the pres
ent efficient city engineer who does his
work admirably so far as he goes, a
thoroughly equipped superintendent of
public works, with Jurisdiction sur
llclent to eive effect to any suggestions
or recommendations that he might
make. AVlth such an office occupied by
the rlirht kind of ofllclul, the streets of
Scranton would, we dare say, soon show
u distinct improvement.
Tha onmmonwealth of Pennsylvania
has as good u light to go into the busi
ness of manufacturing slates ana writ
ing paper and clothing and chewing
gum as It would have to begin uie puu-
ii,,ti,ni nf Htnte text books for tne puu-
llo schools. The proposition whereby
t(i.i,re..ntMttvl Lvtle hones to get tne
hotter of the text book trust Is a new
Illustration of a. remedy as objectiona
ble as is the disease.
Protection for Fish and (lame.
Among leading aportmen the conclu
sion lis dawning that If the llsh In our
streams and the game in our forests
are to be saved from utter extinction,
there will need to be radical amendment
of the llsh and game protection laws of
this state. These laws at this time, in
terpreted liberally in view of of t-demon-
trated facts, mean simply that con
scientious pportsmen must observe cer
tain restrictions in order that unprinci
pled men may get In ahead of them and
lill their baskets and game bags by
illegal devices. Convictions are so rare
as to exert little deterrent influence,
and the one practical effect of the pres
ent system Is. to set up a discrimina
tion against law-abiding anglers and
hunters.
Under such circumstances it is only-
natural that leading sportmen's asso
ciations throughout tli? commonwealth
rhould be moving for a more equitable
deul. The Philadelphia Fish and Game
association, dt is announced, will pre
sent a bill .prohibiting the use of nets
for any purpose whatsoever, and re
quiring the liberation of bass and wall-
u1d, salmon under eight inches in
length and trout under six Inches. A
feature of this bill will be that Its
penalties will be made mandatory, leav
ing to petty magistrates no discretion
In the levying of tines. The Berks
County Fish Protective association,
While favoring the Philadelphia asso
ciation's measure bo far as It goes, will
proceed to a more radical position by
asking the legislature to extend the
close f-eason foi btiss U'.tii Juno 21 und
for catfish and sunlish until July 21.
Similar -fTorts will be put forth In the
Interest of game and the legislature
will be solicited to provide by appropri
ation for the employment of spitial offi
cers to patrol the streams and forests
in seaivh of poachers.
The question from any viewpoint is
one which bristles with difficulties. It
would be .materially slmplllled if the
supervision of the state, as Is con
templated In the bill which the Forest
ry commission has prepared for this
legislature, were extended over large
state park reservations in the heart
of the virgin woodland territories in the
eastern, northern and western sections
of the commonwealth. A proper en
forcement of the llsh and game laws In
these state reservations would provide
the nucleus for similar enforcement
elsewhere, as well .as preserve a con
siderable percentage of the fish and
game now -illegally sacrificed by un
scrupulous anglers and huntsmen. The
present legislature will, however, ap
proach this problem in the light of
much past experience nnd with the aid
of eminent counsel It will doubtless
reach a basis of legislation engrafting
distinct Improvements upon the present
laws which only nominally govern the
capture of fish and game.
Chief Judge Sterrett's decision In the
Lawrence county case where voters
had pasted blanket slips on their bal
lots, adding new names and also cov
ering up the old headings, Is sensible.
He holds that no uddltlon to an official
bajlot is permissible except such ones
as may be needed to designate the vot
er's desire lo cast his ballot fur per
sons not named on the official ballot,
and that such additions must be Insert
ed In the blunk spaces assigned there
for In the right hand column of the bal
lot. There is ample room for fraud
under the most rigid Interpretation of
the present ballot law, without open
ing any new loopholes to crookedness,
Play Pair.
We sympathize with the people of
Hastleton and vicinity, who want and
are entitled to a new county. It Is bo.
cause of that sympathy, In fact, that
we wish to remind them not to overdo
the matter of advance promises. In the
Plain-Speaker, for Instance, we notice
the following assertions In conspicuous
ly large type:
With a new county, tho numberless
murders and other offences against the
law will bo avenged, every violator of the
rights of the country will be speedily
brought to Justice and punished, it will
serve as a check to evildoers, snd make
our community safer and freer from
erlmo, and lessen the stigma that Is now
east upon lower Luitcrne becnune of her
unpunished crlmlnuls, although forsooth
It Is no fault of hers or her people, but of
the state Itself, which denies to her the
right It grants to every other locality In
Its boundary a speedy trial lit a court of
Justice, without the attendant costs thut
make such trial here now a postlve burden
and hindrance to the punishment of
crime.
There Is, In all candor, a good deal of
truth In this argument; but Is It alto
gether true? Will u new county, of It
self, cause crime to become infrequent
and bring every violator of law to
speedy Justice? It would be a pleasant
thing to believe this happy assertion
of new-born solicitude for the rights
and majertty of thc law. But Is It sin
cere? Are the people Included within
the area of the contemplated new coun
ty ready to back It up, with work as
well as words, and right heaa-ty work at
that?
If yes, well and good; and may God
speed them! But if no, would it not
be wise to blow a lowlier blast?
The party circle for straight voting.
under the present ballot law, is not,
perhaps, bo great a nuisance as is the
provision which legalizes the pernicious
activity of the professional "helper;"
but it is a detail that often gives rise
to confusion, and could well be spared.
This legislature will not achieve a com
plete performance of Its obvious duty
until It brings ballot reform down to
an Impregnable basis.
Plan of Forest Protection.
As Unas heretofore been explained In
tllwse columns, one of 'the forest bills
which the legislature will be asked to
pass provides for "the establishment of
three separate forest reservations 'with
in oe;nta.in counties named, each of
nlhlich hjalil contain no less than 40,000
acres of land In a continuous area. It
also provides 'thait at least .half of line
lands cluuson fortihese reservations shall
have a minimum altitude of eight hun
dred feet tabove st'a-level, and thait all
of the Hind shall be of a character hot
ter suited to the giHwith of trees than to
mining or agriculture. The forest com
mission is to select ifliese lands, and Is
auWuirized to purchase them at prices
not exceeding two dollars an acre Where
this can be dlrecitly accomplished, and
where ithls is mt possible full power Is
given to condemn suoh lands as reserva
tions for tihe use and 'behoof of the com
monwealth, subject to such conditions
as the legally constituted authorities
may Impose. It Is further provided ithat
the staite geologle.il survey shall ex
amine tihe land so acquired and make a
report, with accompanying maps and
lllUMtiiaitlons, upon ithelr value as water
sheds and reservoirs; and tluut the state
board of health, the staite board of agri
culture and 'the fisheries commission
ttlia.il uieh report every year upon the
uses and value of these reservations In
relation to ithe several subjects within
their Jurisdiction.
This mtusure has the indorsement of
the governor and cabinet, and of all the
newspapers, so far as we oan learn,
whicth 'have expressed opinions on the
subject. The legislature will make no
mistake in acting favorably upon it.
The time for action 'has arrived, faats
and figures Innumerable ihave been ad
vanced amply sustaining itha need of
positive and aggressive legislation In
pretention of our forests. The state ihos
in Its treasury idle money sufficient to
meet 'all the expense Incident to the
oreaitlon of such reservations, without
crippling other legitimate and real legis
lative needs. The application of a rea
sonable proportion of this money to the
presi rvu Hon of a natural resource In
valuable in Itself and In imminent peril
of destruction will not be charged to
extravagance but wfillraithur be credited
by the people to prudent and Justifiable
legl sfa t i ve 1 iherallty.
The time, the money and the method
for forestry legislation are all at hand;
and tho legislature will ihave no excuse
for not doing its duty.
Miss Cross, lecturer at the food expo
sition, says that oysters are largely
composed of phosphorous, which sug

LLGISLATIVi: TOPICS.
As to Streum Pollution.
Colonel Jim Sweeney's Harrlsburg let
ter lo the Huzleton Standard: "One of
the questions that will receive much at
tention by the present legislature Is the
pollution of streams In tho common
wealth. The memlMM's this year will have
u. line opportunity to learn to what ex
tent the hi reams are polluted; for the
water In use In this city, which Is pumped
from the Susquehanna river, will prompt
them to take Immediate action. The river
here hus been In an awful condition for
some time; It being so charged with mine
water that the people were In a bad way
for water for domestic purposes. Tho
water now contaminating the liver comes
from the Neseopeek, Hhumokln and Ly
klns creeks, and Is as blurk as Ink in
some seasons of the year. The sulphuric
tuid contained In this water, In a short
time destroys tho vessels In which It Is
kept, und for thut reason there is a gen
eral howl by the good housewives, who
ure compelled to use it. When the legis
lature meets here next week one of the
Hint things It will do is to appoint a com
mission which will hurry to the coul re
gions nnd sen If there cannot lie some way
lo prevent this eontiimlnatlon of the
water. This 'will have a tendency also
to prevent the tapping of the Kbervalo
mine for some time, us the commission
will undoubtedly go over the testimony of
fered to tho Luzerne courts a short time
ugo In relation to the sumo mutter. The
llsh commissions are ulso taking an In
terest In this, for In the past year or two
the Susquehanna hus been nearly depleted
of the good food fish pluced there at times
by the commission. It Is argued here thut
if the proper kind of wires are constructed
near the collieries for the purpose of hold
lug bnck the culm, the mutter may
lie regulated, us the water in Itself would
purify before reaching the river. All of
these things will be inquired Into by the
commission to be appointed and before the
session Is fur advanced you cun look for
some action In tho mutter."
l or State-Printed Text nooks.
Harrlsburg special to the Pittsburg
Dispatch: "There ure strong Intimations
thut tho legislature will order an lnves.
titration Into the operations of the text
book trust under the new Knrr free school
book law. The system of free books In the
schools In Itself hus proved a great sue
cess, und there is more likely to bo un en.
largement of It than a retrograde move
ment. Hut leading legislators of both par
ties who huve been Inquiring Into the sub
ject are convinced thut the state puld out
during the year perhaps a million dollars
nioio tluin necessary In the shape of trust
prollts. A number of the districts have
not reported tho amount expended to the
state officials. The totul as far as hoar
from, for the school year ended Ju..e 4,
1KIU, for books and supplies is $1,804,711.13.
This, It Is stated at the department, is
considerably more thun was anticipated.
The amount per capita ranges from sb
low as 83 cents In one county to as much
as 13 In others. Thero Is an entire ab
sence of uniformity. Some districts ex
pended more than the state appropriation,
and others turned the new law Into a
money-muktng scheme. Representative
Perry M. Lytic, of Huntingdon, the Re
publican leader of the house. Is expected
to take the lead In tha fight on the trust.
To tho Dispatch correspondent ho said:
'I am an enthulust in favor of a genuine
freo book law, but the present measure Is
an outrage. I am Informed that of the
$50,0110 expended lust year In Lancaster
$40,0(10 was clenr profit to the trust. From
the most accurate llguret that I can ob
tain I And -that on an average a school
book which is sold for 25 cents costs the
trust 3 cents, and that a book the price of
which Is 60 cents costs about 8 cents.
My ldeu,' continued Mr. Lytle, 'is that
there should be a commission appointed.
It could be composed of leading educators
of the Btate, who, I believe, would be will
ing to serve without salury. This com
mission could either prepare a series of
text books or adopt one which should ap
pear to be best In a competitive examina
tion. In the latter case the copyright
should be purchased outright, and the
slate should print the books and furnish
them to tho various districts at cost. It
Is getting too late in the duy for educa
tion to pay an enormous tribute to any
combination.' "
Cumbrous Legal Forms. '
Philadelphia Record: "The Har Asso
ciation of Pittsburg, at its meeting on
Saturday next, will discuss Judge Ar
nold's change of practice bill, which will
shortly be offered- In the legislature.
Judge Arnold's, contention that legul
forms are unmercifully cumbrous hus
found Vtf'tillcation in the experience of all
who touch litigation from any side, either
as litigants or as practitioners; und such
a reformation as that proposed by the
bill In question Is demanded alike by the
Interests of Justice, of common sense and
of economy."
Is Ho a Traitor to Scranton?
From the Wllkes-Barre Leader.
Bernard Megargee, of 8c ran ton. was
among the West Market street promenad
ers this morning. "Strange," he sold,
"that so much difference cun exist In two
cities only twenty miles upurt, as are
Wllkes-Uurre and Scranton. Different
eluss of people down here. More gentle,
considerate und brainy. Not so much self
horn blowing ns In Scranton. Hot you

ner who strikes a rapid gate ut the sturt,
thut wins the race by any means, und I
notice now thut Wllkes-Burre which once
