The CoIlere OuestIon

EDITORs NEws-That is a good ques-
ton asked in yesterdays DAILY, "What
do you think of $4,000 in school bonds
for the Presbyterian college?" The ed
ucational interests of the state are of the
highest importance. There can be no
question about the great benefits to the
present and future welfare of the cOun-
try by more thorough and higher train
ing of scholars and teachers. But the
point for our citizens to seriously cOnsid-
er is the immediate needs of our public
schools. The present buildings cannot
accommodate the children of our city.
The rooms are over-crowded and the
teachers over-burdened with the large
numbers claiming admission and educa-
ton. What we should really aim at in
this direction is the placing of our pub
lie schools on broad basis, capable of
givinga thorough training to all entitled
to it. Under these circumstances let
there be no ambiguity in the action pro-
posed to our board of education.
The resolution so unanimously
adopted by the committee report
ed in the NEWS of the Esd,
is not the straightforward appeal which
should be made to the tax payers. If
$50 600 is asked, let it be asked for a
specific purpose. If these bonds are is
sued, let it be stated exactly for what
purpose. Let there be no building
erected with public funds that any board
shall have the right to dispose of. Let
the object be clearly defined. No doubt
but it would be a fine thing to have the
college asked for, and 1 earnestly hope
it may he secured, but ON general prin-
ciples promiscuous taxation should not
be resorted to for the support of any de
nominational institution. On the basis
of this proposed action, the advantages
accruing to the city. any and every
church enterprise or parsonage could
appeal for municipal assistance.
Let every effort be made for individu-
al contributions, but forever keep de-
nominational enterprise and claims un-
der denominational safeguards. Let
every object receive its due considera-
ton, but keep church and state apart
