tial ones. We need a Department Of Educa-
ton, more than we need the Departments of
the War or the Navy with their Sec retaries
Education should be, in time it must be, the
most prominent and important of cur inter
| ests. Upon it everything else depends. We
are an educated and an educating people.
| This subject is pressing upon Us and demands
attention and action. 1t Is time people be-
gan to think about it, and talk about it and
write about it. Not only during election
campaigns but al the time. There will be
diversity of opinion as to how it shall be done
but the standard must be elevated in legisla-
ton as we'll as in the theory and practice of
the system itself Great advances have been
made. Our school system is improving i'll al
most every state, but it must be organized
and strengthened by National enactment. A
Department to which all State departments
will he tributary, let it be brought about
as it may, will &c OF incalcuIabic benefit to
people.

The distress is general and several hundreds

The Federal Commissioners have properly de-
Cided not to allow the construction of shanties
