18 COMPULSORY EDUCATION PRAOTICA-
HEP

No law denying parent tho power to de-
privo his child OF its inalionablo right to an
education con accomplish its end, unless the
people heartily gympathizo with it. Compul-
sorry education is IN impossibility, unless tho
great mnss Of tho people believe in it and
MD it. a bc1iaf in the truth Of tho theory is
rapidly gaining ground aznong thoughtful
American politicians. but its practicability is
seriously doubted The question is, "Wil1
the people stand it?" If they wore known
to bo not merely willing but eager to "shnd
it," the average politician would tako very
different view Of the mattor, and compulsory
education laws woull bo tho order OF tie dny.
The truth Is that thege laws are mainly for
tho benefit of the mass Of tho pooplo. They
diminish paupersm md crime, and 30 losson
taxation and increase the common &C.
cnrity md tho general wealth. They
offer tho children OF tho very poor
tho only means by which moro >than
ono in thousand Of them can riso nbove tho
wrechodness into which they arc born. There
in no moro compulsion upon tho poor tlan
npon the rich; and tho lattorpay most Of tho
taxes,-which they can we'll afford to do in
consideration OF the goodresults. Where eIu-
cation il compulsory, tho school-tax docs M
much to protect life, limb, md property as
oil tho other taxes put together. These
truths have Of late become moro widely
known. People arc recovering from the
prejudice caused by tho unfortunate word
compulsion." They are beginning 10 SEQ
that tho State merely compels a parent to re-
apect right already existing in His child,
when it B9ys to him, "lou must pay the per-
son for whoso existence you arc responsible
tho dobt Of education which you owe him
here are books, veacherB, and schools provided
for him; If yo cannot or will not send him
elsewhere, at lent you shall not prevent his
coming hero" Experience has shown the
wisdom Of F1cuTEs words, spoken when
education WIS being made compulsory In
Germany: "It ia tho first step that costs !;
the frxt generation will 10 tho only one upon
which 1t will be necessary to rss constraint,
for those who will have received the proposed
education will voluntarily send their children
to school"
This saying has bcen proven t1uo by tho
experience Of Germany, Switzerland, En-
gland, and America. It rather understatca
tho truth. Less than the lifo Of gen.
eration has been necessary to bring
about the change which F1cnrn pre-
dicted alr. 3. e. Noa1uaor, Conncctlcuts
Commissioner of Education, says, in recent
articla In the Independent: "The working

There is IN interesting debate In progress
IN England, inside and outside tho House Of
Commons, on the providence Of bribery in
Parliamentary elections. Members have been
grooming ovor the wickcdness Of constituents
who would dobase themselves by being bribed,
and now the constituents arc suggesting that
there aro always two parties 10 case Of
vote-sclling. and that it candidates did not try
to buy votes, nobody would or could soil them.
This plain truth has mado q commotion. A
committee appointed to inquire into the mat
ter reported tho other day in favor Of severely
furnishing members who bribed. But this
has been decoronsly showed into oblivion,
Tho practice Of bribery secms to be on the
increase. The Judges aro busy in investiga-
lions several important boroughs hava been
threatened with disfranchisoment all but
ono Of tho members returned from Stroud at
tho regular and apeoial elections aince 1865
have beon unsoated for bribery; and JouN
DR1onr read in tho House OF Commons, fow
days ago, letter from prominent citizen
Of Norwich, who said that that city was in
the hands Of COO or 800 electors, who sold
their votea ahamcloasly for "money mud
beer" Then a Tory, 11r. BENT1NoK, de-
nouncel tho hypocrisy OF such debates, and
said TINT there was really no feeling In or
out Of tho House against the practico OF
bribery" The House laughed heartily at
this rare Jest. The statement hos been con.
tirmod by many outside authorities, 60 that tho

of Turkey intact, the English proceeded to
advancc money to build up tho necessary nd

milton. Turkey haa borrowed about l5o,-
000,000 pounds storling, full two-thirtls of
which is held by England. The money hns
been squandered in riot, dissipation, and
plnntor. The Beraglios have been kept up in
