THERE is q sort Of poetic justice In
the proposal Of Chicago TO increase
her police force TO 500 men and make
the saloons support them. The plan
is TO raise the license Of each saloon
to 500 Q year. 1t Is argued that as
nine-tenths Of the criminal acts are the
result Of liquor selling and saloon in

be made TO pay for the protection rem

True Education.

Written for the Pacific Commercial Advertiser.
All true education is the leading on of
the mind from the known to the unknown.
For every fresh advance in knowledge we
require a found tion Of knowledge already
there to build upon In arithmetic, for ex-
ample, we lead a child on from the addition
and subtraction of concrete things, of mar
bles and of apples, to the addition of abstract
numbers, to the conception of mathematical
relations. So in geography, we lead him
on from the hills and streams and fields that
surround the schoolhouse, 10 knowledge of
the streams and mountains that define his
country, and so on till he can grasp the
great truths of physical and political geo.
graphy. a child has the political knowl-
edge of many things. The great and all
important question is how best to enlarge
the youthful idea. A man may be schoo ed
and yet not educated. He may hold
diplomas as from one or more of our great
est institutions of learning and yet be I'M
educated in its true sense.
There is not time in our public schools to
develop intellect very far. During the
school years pupils should give their atten-
ton TO such knowledge as every one must
acquire for success in after life. They
should know that an education should be OBJ
tanned so as 10 enaOle tnem 10 De useful 10
themselves and 10 others. But education
does not consist in passing through a
certain number of text books. In arith-
metic the fundamental rules, common
and decimal fractions should be taught.
In geography about a quarter of what is
found in our text books would suffice for
any one. Maps are always at hand. Why
burden the mind with details Every one
ought to have some knowledge of our gov
ernment, its use and advance. All should
have a knowledge of the human body. All
should be able to speak and write correctly.
Good morals are essentials. Also industry,
neatness, frugality, carefulness, thoughtful
ness, poIrteness and t~horoughness No
doubt most teachers thy to impart all these,
but the work should not stop here Educa-
ton must promote the seeking finding and
dissemination of ali truths. Let us seek,
find and scatter the proper truths if we
would nave our boys and girls to become
ornaments instead Of disgraces, for, as SOM
one has POLITICALLY said. Who would not
