e 1t is said that theresare now a nillior
and half; of children in the Upifet
Estates, between theAges of five aud fit
teen who can not read, write and cipher
! What are We going to do with them? o
rather what are they going, to do viii
us? Who can forteIl their future pcwe
at the ballot-box? Looking upon then
as human beings capable of endless de
yel1pment in knowledge, usefulness ant
power, my heart aches forthem. Shoult
we not study to deliver them from 'theil
region of death, and show them The
light of liberty, progress and truth
They have angel powers wrapped up
within them; shall we rot give then
he angelic wigs they need? Should We
have national system of compulsion'
France had a national Statute in These
words: "All children throughout the
Republic shall be compelled TO attend
school, t.-s1 ra $50
