THE KUKLUX BILL.

1t is reported that the passage of the
Ku-Klux bill has had good effect upon
the South. This may be so but the state
ment is not absolutely to be relied upon.
Outrages have not ceased, although they
may be checked somewhat What gives
the bill its moral force in the South is the
unaminity with which it was supported in
Congress by the republicans and:.is sus-
tanned by the people at home. Had the
democrats been willing to cast aside their
partizanship and support the bill in con-
junction with the republicans, or manifest
ed decided spirit in favor of the suppress
sion Of the Ku-Klux organization instead
of defending it and covering up its crimes,
there would have been no opposition to it
in the South and law and order would at
once have resumed sway The enactment
of the measure with no public sentiment
to sustain it would have been useless. Re-
ceiving the entire support of the republic
can party. even to making it the principal
issue in 1872. it carries weight with it
where it is designed to operate. We ven-
ture to say there is not township or
school district in the North in which the
republicans will not rally to a man in sup
port Of this bill, and that they will be
ready to meet the democratic party and
Eight it out on that line,, whenever and
as often as may be necessary. That the
Ku Klux will disappear without struggle
while the democratic party stands as their
ally is hardly to be expected. We shall
not be disappointed foutrages continue and
peace be deferred in the South, but we
are glad to learn that the bill has already
had good effect.

the soundest body; the mind most loving

A young man or woman at twenty with only
an intermediate school education, yet with

to go out into the world than the weak bodied,
book -crammed, college graduate. At forty
the first will probably be the better scholar
and worker of the two. VIII not the wise
parent and community see to it that the young
are educated first into physical health as much
as possible, showing whatever tends to des-
stroy it as the bane of life. What mser-
able vanity it is that delights in snowy, preco-
cious scholars at the price of health!
A child is stimulated to commit four thou

and judgment remain dormant, so the stu
dents brain becomes only repository of
book rubbish, of no earthly practical use to
the holder.
Is there not system of education that will
give the young all that is of any permanent
value in our present schools, yes more, and
at the same time develope the body also into
beautiful form of healthful action? think
So Shall we not put down our vanitics and
false notions and take care that our schools
do not cruelty the flesh for the empty shell of
education? and see to it that they grow strong,
thinking minds in beautiful sound working
bodies? Many of our teachers at work in
this direction. But there is great deal more
for us to do, as parents and community, to
insist by word and work that our schools
shall promote physical health and large,
strong growth of ideas and reason, rather
than mere feats of memory and useless ac-
complishments.

HEALTH FIRST IN EDUCATION.


Just now there appears to be a re-awaken-
ing of the popular mind to the consciousness
that our present system of education is not
perfect in fact that is so far from perfect that
in some respects it defeats the very purpose
on which it is neminally founded.
The purpose of education, is the large,
healthful development of the mental powers
and faculties of the boy or girl; to produce
rich, strong thinking men and women. Many,
just now, looking at some of the results Of
our popular schools, question whether they do
not produce too many intellectual machines,
or weak-minded, feeble bodied men and wo-
men.
Here is a delicate, sensitive-braned boy or
into school, stimulated by the fattery of fool
ish parents and friends to cram the mind with
books, and keep at the head of his or her
class if possible. What is the result? The
mind is over loaded, the body crucfied, until at
length both sink into chronic invaldism. We
have many such in our schools. And our
popular system stimulates and forces them
too often into this self-destruction. This is
is one of our barbarisms that we call liberal
education.
The children of the more cultivated classes,
as a rule, are more delicate in body and sens-
tive in mind each succeeding generation
The result is tendency to extinction. 1t is
process of natural selection. In the strug-
gle for existence, strong bodies and sound
brains conquer; the weakly go under. Now
the examining system of school education
tends to hasten this extinction of the more
cultivated class.
The forcing system of many popular schools
may produce beautiful hot house scholars, but
they are short lived. When turned out into
the rough, cold, working world, in the ma ori-
ty of cases they wither up, are lost. Nine
tenths of the precocious scholars are never
heard Of after leaving the seminaries and col
leges. The leading thinkers and actors in the
community come mainly direct from the la
boring. comparatively uneducated classes.
It's not the want of intellectual culture that
gives them the advantage. That is loss.
But they inherit strong limbs, full chests and
minds rugged through the hard discipline of
self education. This is their vantage.
think school system is false that does
not recognize physical health and beauty as
the foundation of education. Parents that
permit or stimulate their children to sacrifice
one whit of bodily health for book knowledge
or class rank reap only loss and defeat for
themselves and children. The amount of
book knowledge is no criterion of real educa-
ton. An individual may graduate from col

of danger to the public interests because
of the hold the Maine Central has recently

and erect spacious and elegant ones for
their business: Wouldn't the city and the

SOUTHERN OVTR4GE.S.

Our despaches gave an account of an out
upon two colored men. In Kentucky a very
worthy man, one of the Trustees ola College
in the State, was shot at Fitchburg but not
killed, then taken and dashed and ordered out
OF town more dead than alive. The Tribune
has the following from South Carolina
Cn Sunday night last party of disguised
men rode to the house of Mr.. Robert Melton,
an elderly Union man of Southern birth, liv-
ing on his farm near Old Store, Chesterfield
County, and called for him to come out.
When he appeared at the door accompanied
by his wife and daughter, all three were inn
mediately shot. The wife was instantly kill
ed, and Mr.. Melton was fatally and his daugh-
ter dangerously wounded. Mr.. Melton was
collector of delinquent taxes. The gentle
man reporting this murder adds:
This foul work must be stopped. Our
eyes are now turned for aid to the General
Government. II this fails US, we will exact
fearful retribution for every one of these
outrages. God forbid that the great majority
Of Republicans in this State shall be driven
TO rise in their might and take the law into
their own hands."

interview with the old man, who showed
them his Scared back and assured them that,

From Connecticut.

New Haven, Ct, May "a At a fully at
tended meeting Of the Yale Boat Club this
afternoon, the letter received from the Har-
ward Boat Club, in response to the Yale chal-
lenge of Dec. 10th, 1870, for a six cared,
three mile straight race, on any course in
America which the challenged party might
select, was read by the President. This let
ter was to the effect that while the Harvard
would allow the Yale club to enter the Union
College Regatta, to be rowed on the Con-
necticut river, near Springfield, Mass, July
18th, under its auspices, over three mile
straight course, it would not allow it to en-
gage in a separate university race at any 9TH
er place than Lake Gunsegamoun, Worces-
ter, over double mile and half course,
about single turning stake. After an ex-
citing debate it was voted by large majority
that the Harvard oarsmen be notified that
their letter is construed as a non acceptance
of the challenge of Dec, 1870, and that the
University crew of Yale, having in conse-
quence disbanded, will not recognize anv
future acceptance of that challenge. Thus
the question Of the Yale taking part in any
college races this summer is settled, by the
refusal of the Harvards to allow it a straight
university race, and by its own refusal to take
part in any miscellaneous college regatta I'M
der its rivals auspices.
