Saws the New YORK Times

Says the New York Times 1t is
well known that one of the first "a.
vestigations" to which q Democratic
House of Representatives will address
itself will relate to the affairs OF the
DisJrict OF Columbia. When that in
quiry is in progress we doubt whether
it will answer any useful purpose to
serve orders of arrest on Mr.. Dana OF
any other newspaper editor for "wick.
ed libels." 1t will be necessary for
Mr.. Shepherd to find some other means
of answering the charges which are
likely to be brought against him. He
will have to explain the celebrated paw
ing contract given to Murtagh, editor
of the "oficial organ" at Washington,
and General Babcock's relations with
that worthy cannot fail to lead to some
interesting disclosures. 1t is to be
hoped that no one more important thar
Babcock may be seriously compromised
by them. .

-THE AUTHORS OF THE " SPELLING
MANIA. And now it is said that the
publishers of Webster's Dictionaries
are responsible for the recent Spelling
Bee" excitement. Whether this is true
or not, the spelling mania was a good
thing, and it undoubtedly had very
excellent influence, OF all educational
accomplishments, proper knowledge
of the orthography of our own language
is certainly the most desirable, and of
all the DEFICIENCIES in our educational
methods, that relating to this study is
the most marked. And we were there
fore going to say that whether the
spelling excitement came about through
the advertising efforts of the Webster
publishers or not, one thing is quite
clear, and that is that there is nothing
that has helped to stim ulate the wide.
spread interest to the subject, or that is
so nearly Speller's VAIE MRcUM as

one dollar, and to be had of almost any
dealer in books. 1t is marvel Of com.

The Court of Common Plea

The Court of Common Pleas Of
Chester county, Pa, has decided that a
writing on slate is not good will un-
der the statue which requires all wills
to "be In writing" Various decisions
have been rendered on the question
whether lead pencil writing, which is
easy of alteration is sufficient. The
Chester County Court seems to have
believed 1t ought to "draw the line
somewhere" and "irew 1t" at slate
pencils.

SOMETHING STILL TO DO,

Though the day has nearly passed;
Sit not down with folded hands,
Labor while the hours shall last
While shall flow life's golden sands;
Life is chansefll-ever brief
Oh improve each fleeting span,
Turn, each day, some brighter leaf,
Measure time by deeds to man.
know'st thou not some burdened soul,
Fettered by disease and pain!
Point to him the heavenly goal
Bid him rise and strive again;
know'st thou not u dropping heart,
Sinking meath misfortune's blight7
Go, and friendships warmth impart-
Give to him ray of light.
We are not to know the way,
God shall work life's problem out
Let lis labor while we may,
Trusting Him, nor have a doubt;
And with love for all mankind,
Resting not till life be through
Let us work, when we shall fluid
Something still for US to do.

compulsory Educaiiou.

Since compulsory education has been
adopted in several States, its history and
adoption in other countries become mat
tiers OF interest. Germany adopted IL after
being crushed in the Napoleonic wars. In
1919, rule was adopted which compelled
every child between seven and fourteen,
To attend school regularly More recently
SIX ana seventeen have been settled az
the years between which children must
be scholars. Fichtc said. and he proved
a true prophet, that after the first genera
ton there would be no difficulty in get
tlng parents to send their children to
school. Jules Simon, late minister of
public instruction in France, wrote
Prussia, with obligatory instruction,
has conquered ignorance, victory from
which we are separated, after thirty years
of efforts, by nine hundred thousand chill
dren. ignorant and neglected" France
spends much upon education, but it is not
compulsory aud her people are ignorant.
SaXony spends less upon education than
Belgium, yet the SaXons are better edu-
Gated than the Belgians. because in Sax
ony attendance upon school is cOmpul-
sorry, while in Belgium it is not. IN New
York city, before the compulsory law
took effect, there were two hundred and
forty thousand registered scholars and
less than one hundred and twenty-five
thousand regular attendants. These facts
and figures prove most conclusvely that
compulsory education laws would be of
the greatest benefit to every part OF the
United States, but especially in the great
cities. Indeed they are the only practical
