WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 1893
COMMERCIAL EDUCATION.
The American Banker’s associa-
tion has taken initiatory steps to
bring before the American public
the necessity and importance of a
thorough professional education
for the business classes. Ina re-
port recently made to that asso-
ciation reference is made to the
work undertaken in Europe in
this direction notably that of the
Paris Chamber of Commerce which
supports two night schools for
elementary commercial instruc-
tion and two commercial high
schools. The course in these
schools is arranged for three years
including the preparatory year
and the instructions embrace be-
sides book keeping and penman-
ship commercial geography the
study of commercial products
commercial law and kindred sub-
jects. The cost of maintaining
these schools is about
$60000 two thirds of which is
derived from tuition fees and
boarding profits the other one
third being donated by the Cham-
ber of Commerce. The need of
such a system in our large com-
mercial cities is growing more ap-
parent and New York Chicago
San Francisco St. Louis Boston
and Philadelphia might profitably
imitate the example set by the
Paris Chamber. There is no differ-
ence of opinion among the advanc-
ed educators of this day as to the
higher advantages to be derived
from special education and the in-
dustrial and commercial world are
being recognized as having as dis-
tinctive a claim on professional
education that is education for the
particular work of commerce and
manual industry as the so called
learned professions law medicine
theology have for special edu-
cation for their practice. The
Light has always pleaded for
manual schools; for regular train-
ing in the public schools of every
American city of sufficient size to
support such a school in such
manual art as will fit the children
of the people to do the work of the
people when it is their turn to en-
ter the field as bread earners. This
report to the American Bankers
association is timely. It shows
that the thought of intelligent
business men is turned to the needs
of educating those who are to suc-
ceed them in business in such a
way as to fit them for the best con-
duct of that business. Practical
education is the necessity of the
day and all practical education is
special.

ton is in the city visiting friends.

Andy Wilson the colored boy

cer Kieron yesterday afternoon ।

BUSINESS IS BRISK.
Such is the report given the
Light by the Alamo Iron Works.
In spite of hard times they rather
increased than decreased their
force. The existing drouth has
caused such a demand for their
celebrated Perfection Pumping
Jacks that often it becomes neces-
sary to run nights to till orders.
Pumps pipes and casing are also
going fast. In addition to the
above they have a large amount of
artesian well tool work on hand
beside the usual quantity of repair
work in both machine shop and
foundry both of which are the
largest and most complete in Tex-
as. In castings they can make
anything from one-half ounce to
six thousand pounds. 10 24 3t
CHEAP COAL.
In view of the hard times I have
concluded to put my Lump XXX
McAlester Indian Territory coalat
the very low price of $7.50 per ton
delivered at any part of the city
within reasonable distance. As
this is the very best coal that
comes to San Antonio by all odds
the public can have now no good
reason for not burning it.
1 also have a stock of Pennsylva-
nia Nut and Egg Anthracite which
I shall be pleased to furnish to
those who use this class of coal.
All orders will be promptly tilled.

Fought Fourteen Rounds.
A prize fight took place last
night in an empty lot in the vici-
nity of the Southern Pacific depot.
The Light will not mention
names for the boy’s sakes. One is
an apprentice in the Southern Pa-
cifls machine shops and the other
a stable boy. The fight lasted
fourteen rounds and was quite a
spirited one. A small purse was
up. The stable boy won the tight
and fifteen minutes elapsed before
the defeated boy was brought
around.
DR. CLIFFORD HAS RETURNED.
Dr. G. G. Clifford has returned
from his summer vacation and re-
sumed practice. During his ab-
sence from the city he was in regu-
