This IS fearful exhibit in so popular

reason for the amount of ignorance in
Massachusetts is the demand made by

1t has become fashionable in America to
praise "the Prussian system of education" "
of course without knowing what the
system is. Horace Mann's opinion of the
Prussian system was as follows;
A proverb has obtained currency in Prussia
which explains the W hole mystery of the rela.
ton between their schools and their life :
''The school is good, the world is bad" The
quiescence torpidity of social life STILES the
activity excited in the school-room. What
ever pernicious habits and customs exist in
the community, act as antagonistic forces
against the moral training of the teacher.
The power of the Government presses upon the
the partially developed faculties of the youth
as with mountains weight. When the
children come out from the school, they have
little either for the faculties that have
been developed, or T the knowledge that has
been acquired. Their resources are not
brought into demand; their powers are not
reused aud strengthened by exercise. Our
common phrasts-''the active duties of live, y
"the responsibilities of citizenship" 1.-THE
stage" "t he career of action" 1.-The obligation
of posteritN"-would be strange sounding
words in a Prussian's ear. There, Government
steps in to take care of a subject almost as the
subject takes of bis cattle, The subject
has officers to choose; 10 inquiry into the
character of candidates to make no vote to
give. He has no laws to enact or abolish. He
has question about peace or war, finance,
taxes, ifs, post -nffice internal improve
ment to decide or discuss. He is not asked
where a road shall be laid, or bridge shall
be built, although in one case he has to per-
form the labor, and in the other to supply the
material His sovereign is born to him. The
laws made for him. In war his part is not
to declare it, or to end it, bnt to fight 1t
and pay for it. The tax gatherer tells him
how much he has to pay ; the ecclesiastical
authorities plan church which he must bnild I;
his spiritual guide prepares confession of faith
all ready for his signature. He is directed alike
how he must obey his king and worship bis God.
Now although there is sleeping ocean in the
bosom of every child that is born into the
world, yet if no refreshing, life-givng breeze
ever sweeps across it's surface, why should it
not repose in dark staguation foreverf
When the Prussian system is being ex-
tolled in future, we trust that those who
have read these words from great man,
will remember them.
Mr.. Samuel Laing, another distinguished
Protestant authority, says of the Prussian
system =
The Prussian educational system was a de-
ception pracLiced for the paltry political end
of rearing the individual to be part and par
Gel of despotic system of government of
him to be either its instrument or
its slave, according to his social position.

A RELIC OF THE PASTA gentleman
called at our Office yesterday and showed
rs copy of the York (Pa) Gazette of June
3rd, 1915. Among it's many interesting
items we found the following from our
ancient Borough, which he kindly permit
ted US to transfer to our columns, and which
we doubt not will prove interestingto our
readers:
"NorfoN Nay 24h,-NoreIty.-W were last

intended to ply between this place and Rich

Potomac. On her leaving New York many
were doubtful that she would not be able to
perform the voyage but she has made the
trip in perfect safety without the smallest ln-
jury, and in period of only fifty hours Her
cabin is superbly fitted up with every conVen-
ience for the comfort and accommodation OF

compare the present with the past, as we
can do in the light of the paragraph we
have quoted.-Norfolk Landmark.

AesSsB
there are very few in attendance at them except
the children of wealthy Protestants and Pres
byterians. 1 am sure there are many amongst
my readers who will be glad to have these sta
tistics of the working of the primary schools
of the State in Ireland. All I would add is,
that they should not forget that side by side
are the schools of the Christian Brothers and
other Catholic Orders, doing better work and
steadily supplanting all the primary schools.
GRAND RELIGIOUS DEMONSTRATION IN CORK.
In Cork, last Sunday, there was tie most
magnificent religious demonstration which has
been seen in that great Catholic city within
living memory. The members of the Contra
ternity of the Holy Family in the four city
parishes assembled to the number of six thou
sand-all stalwart men-and marched through
the city to the Cathedral. The procession was
witnessed by several other thousands. In the
Cathedral there was q grand religious function
in connection with the Jubilee, and the Bishop
preached. At the same time, those who were
unable to get into the sacred edifice were ad-
dressed by the Very Rev. Canon Macnamara'
In several other places, such as Drogheda, Dun
dalk and Galway, the Jubilee is being also
carried out in an imposing manner.
SUNDAY CLOSING.
There are TWO matters TO Do nOte0 Cnib week
in reference to the Sunday closing question, in
reference to which have recently written
good deal in these letters. First it is rumored
that the Government intends to propose, and
the supporters of the Sunday-closing Bill in
tend to accept, a compromise whereby the towns
of Cork, Belfast and Dublin shall be exempt
from the operation of the bill unless the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland shall be satisfied that it
is the general wish that the public-houses be
| closed in those three places on Sundays. The
| advocates of the reform have always professed
| their readiness to abide by decision of the
| people the publicans, on the contrary, have
always appealed from the people to the alien
Government by which they ruled. The
| second matter which wish to draw attens
ton is, that in the Diocese of Ossory-that is,
in the counties of Carlow, Kilkenny and
Queen 's-the Catholic Bishop has just estab-
lished Sunday closing universally, and in re-
ference to this regulation, His Lordship, in q
public letter, says that it has rather followed
than prompted the popular feeling, and that it
has produced the hsppiest results. even the
unfortunate men," he says, " who were accus-
toned to squander their weeks wages in the
public-bouse on Sundays, have shown them
selves most grateful at the temptation being
Withdrawn from them" j. j. C.
