state stands in loco PARENTS, so far as
education is concerned, and if parents
or guardians neglect or refuse to pro-
vide educational advantages, the govern
ment, having regard for the interest and
welfare of the whole people may compel
the performance of all obligation rest>
ing upon those who have, by the laws
of nature or otherwise, the custody of
the rising generation.
The right of parents to keep their
children IN ignorance is subordinate to
the rights of government to make them
good and valuable citizens In every
we'll regulated government parents are
compelled by Jaw to support and mains
tain their children during minority if
they have the ability to do SO. If, then,
government can compel parents to pro-
vide food and clothing for the bodies of
their children, by parity of reasoning,
it can compel them to feed and clothe
their minors as the law referred to
directly affects large majority of the
citizens of the Territory and imposes
penalties for a non compliance with its
provisions, We will publish the amended
school law in full, SO soon, as we can OBJ,

CORaa s,sassOry Education.
IErom Puget s.onni Courier, ]


TIE opinion that failure to supply
the rising generation with proper and
adequate facilities to acquire common
school education is rapidly gaining
ground, and we are glad 60 learn that
the legislature at its late session incor>
porated into the school law Of the Ter
ritory an article requiring parents,
guardians and others, who have control
of children between the ages OF -
and - TO keep them at public or
private school at least - months rim
each year. The system OF comrulso y
education is not new. 1t existed in a
most rigid and thorough form in the
ancient Grand Republics, and included
physical as well as mental culture. The
high literary and intellectual eminence
and the splendid physical development
attained By them is attributed, by many
to this system. 1t. has also for IN ny
years been the settled policy Of Prussia
and other European States. At first
thought it may be regarded as an inter~
ference with the reserved rights of the
people as an unwarrantable exercise
of power by the state or a nation.
Bat the slightest reflection will, we
think, satisfy everyone that legislative
authority constltutionally and righttully
embraces this subject
Among the reasons that exist to sup
port Legislation of this character may
be mentioned, that all governments pos
sess the power not only to punish but
to prevent the commission of crime
Ignorance is fruitful source of crime
Criminals, in large majority of cases
gre ignorant, and it being one of th'
plainest duties of the government t.
punish crime, it must necessarily have
the power to remove or destroy the caus'
by any means which will not infring
the inalienable rights Of the citizen
If, therefore, ignorance produces crime
it is proper for the government to pro
vide that ignorance shall no longer ex
list.
Taxation is imposed on all for tn
support of free schools, whether the ta'
payer has children &c be educated 0
not, on the principle that the who'll
state is one family, and that education
should be provided for all alike. TIL

A New RAILWAY PRECAUTIoN.-A
Michigan railroad company has attached
to thirty,four of its locomotives new
style of alarm bell The bell is SO at,
tached that when the engine goes, the
bell rings, being struck by the hammer
once Mt each revolution OF the driving
wheels. Being placed directly in front
of the boiler, the sound of the bell is
seldom heard by the engineer or fire.
man on the engine, aud cannot be heard
on the train; consequently it is no an
noyance to passengers, while, 1T is
claimed, its position causes the sound
to be thrown forward, and conducted,
by the earth and railroad track or rails,
so that it can be heard a considerable
distance in advance of the train, thus
giving timely warning. The General
Superintendent Of the road thinks some
recent accidents would have been GER
tainly prevented by the use of this in
vention.

From an Eastern exchange we clip
the following:
After hearing most Munchauscn-
like story about man who was blown
into minute fragments, Charles Lamb
though: it was pity the man could not
have been collected and preserved, he
would have been such an ornament to
society What that collected man
would have looked like is possibly man
ifest in a mutilated mariner now on oc-
casional exhibition in London, who is
ingeniously aud elaborately tattooed
from head to foot. The story runs that
this sailor is one of three similarly or
namented and ornamental individuals
who alone escaped after this tattooing,
which was done by the Chinese with
poisonous coloring, calculated to produce
slow but terrible death. The question
naturally arises why, when tho death of
the sailors was the main object, such
extraordinary efforts should have been
made to convert them into elaborate
works of art ? And it will be new to
most travellers and readers that the
Chinese are given to tattooing for any
purpose. But the surviving sailor is
said to have shown himself to the Di.
rectors of the British Museum and to
have sold his skin, to be taken off when
he has no further use for it, to that in.
stitution for the delight and instruction
of the yonth of England. Meanwhile
with the privilege, probably, of private
ly exhibiting his hide, for considera
ton, not for commiseration, the sailo
enjoys the annuity granted by tn,
Museum in return for the skin to b,
delivered by-and-by. This, as fnan
, cial transaction, beats the closest shay
ing, and this literal discounting of one
own skin is ahead even of the two pc
] cent or more a month interest which i
metaphorically said to take the hid
off a man.

How TO PuT THE CHILDREN TO
BED Fanny Fern says: " Not with
reproof for any of that days sins of
omission and commission. Take any
other time but bedtime for that, If
you ever heard little creature sighing
and sobbing in its sleep, you could
never do this. Seal their closing eye-
lids with kiss and a blessing The
time will come all too soon, wnen they
will lay their heads upon their pillows
lacking both, Let them at least have
this sweet memory of happy child
hood, OF which no future sorrow or
trouble can rob them. Give them their
rosy youth. Nor need this involve wild
license. The judicious parent will not
so mistake my meaning. 1t you have
ever met the man or woman whose
eyes have suddenly filled when little
child has crept trustingly to its mother
breast, you may have seen one in whose
childhood's home dignity and severity
stood where love and pity should have
been. Too much indulgence ha1 ruined
thousands of children too much love
not one."

Political Suggestions.

We call the attention OF our readers
to the following from the Pacific Coast
AdpertiSer, Journal published in the
interests of advertisers, and wholly in
dependent in politics While it is di-
rected mostly to the Legislature of Cali
fornia, yet it shows the feeling of many
influential journals concerning the re-
election of President Grant
If the Republican party fails of
success in the coming Presidential CON
test, it will be because of its own
blunders. The great danger to the
party arises from its own magnitude,
which presents the great possibility Of
errors in policy and in its selection OF
executive officers The remark applies
to the party in this State, as we'll as to
National organizations 1t is natural
that there should be opponents to the
President, as well as that he should
bave warm supporters in his own party.
General Grant evidently appreciates
this state of things, and is anticipating
the danger, by the course pursued in
his annual message A more judicous
document has rarely been presented to
Congress, or laid before the people The
document cannot fail to meet the ap.
proval of clear>headcd Republicans,
