COMPULSORY EDUCATION.-TheW alla wal
Ia Statesman informs US that the question OF
compulsory education is being agltated in Cal
ifornia It is high time it were discussed IN
more places than California. The practice OF
rearing children in ignorance should be put q
stop to; and as there is not much probability
nor even possibility, that this will be done with
out State interference, we say let the law CON-
pei every man who is able to pay the price OF
tuition to send his children to school; and let
the tuition of those whose parents are not able
to pay, be paid by the State. Also let the chill
dreu of worthless, drunken and dishonest par
ents be provided homes in which they will be
trained up to useful and respectable lives, and
educated at the public expense. 1t would be
much more economical and humane to do this
than to imprison and hang them after they have
been permitted to ripen in courses of vice aud
crime, which ought to have been prevented
The argument that the State has no right to de-
prive the parent Of the custody and " care" Of
the child, even after that parent has shown to
tai unworthiuess to have the custody of it, in
competency to care for it, aud disregard OF III
welfare, is the stalest kind of bosh.
