To serve an apprentice-, snflicient applications are made by ship under the old system is to give at least one or two vears of drugery "c 11 make any headway m learning the trade. If a bov wants to learn the trade ot bricklaying he generally totes brick and mortar for a year without learning nmeli oi the prin ciples oi" the trade. Skilled work men are few in the South, or in this section at least. We would like to see the experiment tried of teaching the several trades in a school for that purpose. There is such an institution m 2few York, and that our readers may see,Bonie.hiug of its workings wecopy the article below from the Sun: The New York Trade Schools, which are to be re-opened lor pupils on Nov. 5, at First avenue and Sjxty-seven'th street, for the third winter session, appear to have sup plied a pressing want which has long been felt - wherever trades unions are plentiful and the divis ion of labor is extensive. This want is the opportunity to learn a mechanical trade, it is a tact wen known to poor boys who desire to learn trades that it is only witu tue greatest difficulty that an appren ticeshin can be obtained in most trades. The rales of the trades unions regarding apprentices are very trict, and only a specified number is allowed in proportion to f he numoer oi journeymen employ ed. Not unfrequently a young man js unable to learn the trade of his nther ior lack of an opportunity to et an- apprenticeship, I Another consideration has been that the method of learning a trade ily apprenticeship is very slow, be- clnse 80 mncu of the time mast be g-fent in mere drudgery, ana the cltpidity of the employer postpones tue-dity when the apprentice snail halve mastered his trade.' :f Several years ago Mr. It. T. Autebniuty of this city resolved to rade school to give deserving ouuig men an opportunity w ioiiu dee. He did not intend it as a ity, or as a money-making m- itution. Ue was content to au- fhnco the capital ana nsK its loss fdr the purpose of giving a trial to his. et idea. -Thus far he has in vtl about $40,000 in land and pHjUdings located in First aveuue, arid extending along tne wnoie block Irom Sixty-seventh to Sixty- eighth8treets, running back about 71 feen on the two streers. me plaije 'vi within view of the old Schfcrmferuorn mansion, adjoining the Pastime Pleasure uiuo grounds, the birtpplace of the wife of Mr. Auchmu The-, bfaildings are plain, low, brick; structures, with ample room for severbl hundred scholars en- crasred in l learning the trades of plumbing, Ibrictlaymg, tresco paint ing, stone tutting, plastering, scroll sawing, paitern making for mould ers ana nuacninists, ana turning. When the Imildings are completed there willbelample accommodations for teaching! all these trades with the best of tools and instructors. Thu' faTiabout '200 young men have availed themselves of this op portunity for adulation in the trades of plumbing, brcklajing, fresco painting and pattern making. The work done by ome i of theie young men is now . on exhibition at the fair of the American Institute, and constitutes one of the most interest ing features bf that show. The plumbing shows isome rare skill in the manipulation of tools and the use of material. The examples of lead joints, wipiVig joints, sand bends, lead safes, bath and basin fittings, sinks, wakh tubs, and so on, show that the joung men have made good use of iheir time. It may seem almost incredible that such proficiency could be attained in the short time of five mouths. This is accounted for first by the fact that the wholel of the live months was devoted tv the actual learning of the tradel under the teaching of a competeint instructor Another explanation Is the fact ! that the learners wer not only : earnest seekers alter knowledge, but also, in most cases, already skilled in the use of toolsA To such vouuir men it is comparative! v easv to substitute one trade torn another. The ordinary restrictions Lf trades unions put great obstacles in the ; way of changing from onewrade to another. Uut the tradei school otters an opportunity to ; yoiiig man who has, unfortunately, learueVl an unremunerative trade to lear'n another which will bo more con genial or profitable. The cost ta the learners of plumbing is .i ier month, or 10 for the course. The instruction in this department is limited to young men between It! and 25. Some opposition from the trades unions has kept youiiL- men from availing themselves i.'' the advan tages of the instiiurn.

For the class in plastering the terms are 95 per month or 512 tor the course. Instruction in fresco paint ing is given for $2.50 per mouth or J10 for the course. The new class in stone-cuttiug begins work this season, the terms being $3 per month or $10 for the course. The terms for the class in turning, scroll sawing, and so on, are the same. Thus far the fees have covered but a tithe of the expenses, but the founder is well pleased with the results achieved, and hopes, by the character ot the work turned out, to convince the trades unions that there is no injustice to them in this eftort to educate skilled workmen on a neWplan. A One-Sided Education. Besides not educating the boy's or girl's body side by side with the wind, or even stopping to consider whether throughout the year they progress physically at all or not, in every city, town, and hamlet of our land we provide machinery and re quire them to use it, which kept within reasonable bounds, has proved one of the great sources of national progress, to which we point with just pride, but which, like almost everything else that is good, may yet be so injudiciously Used as to work positive harm, and that is the school system. With many of our cities doubling in pop ulation every generation or oftener, with parks and play-grounds nar rowing almost annually, and many of these so well kept that the chil dren are not allowed to use the greater part of them at all, with school yards so diminutive that half the pupils in some ot the schools could not even stand up together in their own school yardfe, much less do any playing, in an immense number of our schools we pnt the boy where from five to eight hours of each day are given up to close, exacting study, often in rooms in which the air much of the time is a second-hand article, and hence un fit to breathe. Is it difficult to see why, under such treatment, many of the boys are anything but hale and robust? Maclaren, speaking of an Eng lish school-boy of whom he knew, says that his mother boasted that he studied seven hours a day regu larly, sometimes eight, and then he wonders whether that boy's head aches were real or sham. But if this surprises him, what would he think of such cases as the following, which are only one or two out of scores sent to the New York press some months since, when the mat ter of school overwork was under discussion? One parent wrote: "My daughter, aged fourteen, attends Grammar School No. 72, one ot ttie best in tne city, ana conscientiously strives to obtain a good report. She reaches home at half past three, spends one hour at the piano, anil then studies until half past six. After supper she studies again until nine, and then retires, to rise again at six to study away until breakfast time, after which she starts for school." Another parent wrote that his daughter of fourteen, goingthrough the regular course, and wishing to keep up with her classmates, "has come direct from school, and sat in her room studying usually about five hours." If Mr. Maclaren thinks eight hours of study or even seven a day ought to give a child a head ache, what will he say to the ten or twelve of each of these girls? Is it strange that the father of the sec ond one added: 'The result has been that I was obliged to take her from school, aud pnt her under the care of a physician, who is yet treating her for no less a disease than St. Vitus' dance. Physicians and all who see her agree that her brain has been overworked." School Commissioner Frederick W. Devoe, on investigating these and other cases, said: "I wasspeak- 'nS t a school trustee to-day whose daughter, a public-school pupil, is annciea uu du iius a tiauce, uib direct result of over-study. The present courxr of study is so clabor iite that not hiiiy more thou a siqier feial hnoirleibjc van lie rainal by the pillils." llere, then, a course of study which uot only crowds out even one minute a dav of attention to the body, which coinpc many pupils ! to 'keep their minds on the stretch, I not four or five hours daily, but j I often more than twice that long, ! j and j care this when they are under no or instruction out of school ! i which bcains to lit their bodies for ' even their present way of living, j Vnndi less for cllectivc work in the Jj'iitnre years, when others besides I fhemseives must depend on them 1 fur f-upport this plan is found by fno of I lie eommissirtners himself, awer careiui examination, to ne "so than a gained V Po;! !e.'

Jforth Carolina nt Boston. As the time draws near for the i closing of the Boston exposition the Boston exposition i North Carolina's inarvplona Pvhibil. attracts more and more attention.

It IS superior to any exhibit ever made oy a smgie Mate, lar surpassing in both variety aud appearance the display made by Kansas arxl Colo rado at the Centennial in 187G. It just shows what North Carolina cau do. It is safe to say that many huudred thousand New Englanders have seen it, aud from noue has it failed to win words, of highest praise. Even if Hon. Montford McGehee, the able commissioner of agriculture, Dr. Dabney and Ihe efficient and zealous stall' of assist ants did not speak a word for the display, it would speak for itself. The management of the display by these gentlemen has been so excel lent as to merit the highest praise. Gentlemen just back from Boston say the attendance at the exposition is very great and that "North Caro lina" is heard on every lip, while our exhibit is the very centre of attraction. Constant mention of it is made in the Boston papers. Soon a large parry of New Eng landers will visit this State. They wjll find it the place they seek, blessed with a charming aud gra cious climate, surpassed by , no State or country for healthfulness, and inhabited by a people as frank, kindly and generous as ever the sun shone on. Our New England friends and Pennsylvania friends, for another large party of these last are to visit us also, will find a warm welcome, and will find North Caro liua even better than it is repre sented to be. The people of no State are less given tq boasting, and facts always speak louder than words. The press of New England, aud of Boston particularly, is most lavish in its praise of our exhibit and of our State. The visit of our Governor, who, as he ever does, made such a pleasant impression, aud the later visit of the press as? sociation, have had the happiest; results. The intercourse letween j the people of New England and of the Old North State has been that ot warm friends, each bearing away pleasant recollections of the ot lur. Raleigh will receive the visitors with a warm welcome, and of course wherever they go in tho State they will meet friends and friends only, who will take both a pleasure and pride in showing them our fields, our lorests, our mines, our manu factories, our water powers. Aeirs- Observer. The Cotton Crop this Year. Everybody concedes that the yield of cotton this year in this sec tion ol the country will fall consid erably below the actual yield of last year, but the past few weeks of open weather will make a consider able increase if it continues, say two weeks longer. The rule in this section of the country is that all blooms which appear not later than the 15th of September will mature, but this-year blooms that appeared as late as the first of October will be apt to mature with a few more days of open weather.
