Them should be a close coordination in the schools between industrial and literary subjects. The literary department should teach that knowledge is far more valuable when it makes the fingers more skillful ~ n tdhe hands mom willing, and the industrial department should tesoh that it is not enou h to know how and when, but that if we know why we will better know how and when. none of the indus-trial lines in the work taught in our 1ndie.n schools is the "why" so important as in the sgri-cultural, and this should be given special prominence. Ex-Governor Grew.-The white people should encourage the Indian along agricultural lies and extend to them an uplifting hand. E. T.
