Them lllt> pilfering* an crimes, hut the crimes are ooodooed—overlooked—for they have aocaa good qualities, and their mrvloa is needed. It ia a race trait aod develops with edooeUoo, especial ly aaaoag the younger negroes. The record* of the court* prove that the percentage of email larceny and bur glary grow* faster than the population Incut—.

Now about this thing that is called education 1 da not wish to bo ale* understood Millions are wasted on It to ao good purpose. Every mother’s eon and daughter should be taught to read and write and multiply. Good raiding books should be placed within their reach—book* tbat teach a good ■oral lesson, hooka that exalt virtue and condemn vice-but work; toll. Industry It a bigger thing than books. Modera education la oooflnad to the hoed, the Intellect, and la mixed up with training tha hands to play ball aad the legs to rua, and tha boys tramp all over the country to play match games and the old matra money is spool for something that It hot worth a cent to the young man when bo settles down to the business of llfb. The avenge boy lias no more use fur algebra or onoio eeotiooe or calculus or astronomy or Greek or French than a wagon has for a dfUi wheel. It te valuable Umt wasted. Outside of the professors I have never found bnt ooe oollag* graduate who could translate a line of Greek or solve e problem in geometry. Perhaps one in a thousand shows a fllnam for them higher branch es and tbat one ebonld have a ofaanoe at them If possible, for tbs world needs astronomers sod mathematicians and scientists end linguists, and will have them, oven It ilia acquirement bat to bo hammered out at the anvil aa Bilbo llurriit did. Work is the big thing In this practical age. To make a living !■ Imperative, and It la a struggle. Dut to be a great orator or poet or preaebar ie a gift, and lika Patriok Henry or Henry Clay or Joho Wesley, will ootae to fruition with or without a higher education. To read wall and to read Wisely is the beet part of ao education. It la strange tbat onr eobools do not Maeb Uwir pupils U> read—to read with emphasis and tone end accent. Not one preacher in tan oan reed a chapter or a hymn In an impressive manner. It was bla happy foeulty of reading well that made Bishop Beckwith a great men. It was a solemn feast to bear him recite tbs litany or road a bytno or utter a prayer. Why do not the theo logical aeminai las teach the student* to rend and also something of elocu tion ? It la aa Imposition on a ood gregatloo to have to Itsten to the sing eoog, childish, unimpressive readings of our preachers. Bnt this la enough on tbla Ilea. I fear 1 am getting hypercritical.
