Serrerated Obedienoe 10 Law.

Lord Brougham's oft-quoted obscr-
walton that mo legislature ever framed
law that keen lawyer could not

supported by the construction that has
been put on article us of the revised

"Ifany person who Is mn officer or clerk in

or deputy district surveyor, or county sur
vcyor, or his deputy. shall directly or indi

Higher Education IN Pablo schools.


The Denison Ga:cftce, takes eXcep.
tons, and we think very properly, at
what it terms an innovation in public
school management In that city. This
Is the formation of classes to teach Ger
man and Latin to pupils. Acquaint-
ancc with the German language will
certainly be very valuable 10 every
young man or woman. 1t is spoken
! in all our towns and ii is the language
of literature unsurpassed for depth
and grandeur We should advise every
young man, or girl even, who can COM
mand the means and time, TO study
| German. But the state, in furnishing
educational facilities to the thousands
Of children who have n right TO be pro-
tected from ignorance, does not pur-
pose instruction in any tongue eX-
cept the tcrse, vigorous! Anglo-SaXon
that is the language of this country.
To the private educational institutions,
rs rule belongs the duty of impart-
ing instruction in those higher
branches, including The languages,
that constitute thorough and CLASH
cal curriculum. We are writing now
OF public schools that derive all their
sustenance from the state fund.
There may be circumstances
however, where such an innova-
ton Us the Gazettcer complains OF
would be in every way iustiiiable.
We can imagine II progressive, cul-
,ured community whose parents or
guardians take n pride in their public
schools and are determined 10 make
them equal toany high schools in the
land. And to do this they are willing
to pay literally in the shape of extra
taxes, for thorough and accomplished
teachers, capable OF impating lingus-
tic and other higher instructions.
They may desire that the closing
years of the term, free or public though
il be, shall comprise instruction in the
languages, chemistry, etc, and be pcr-
ieclly willing to pay for thesoluxuries.
so to speak, in the way Of education.
In many Of the states such is the case.
and in ut least one town san Anto. /
Mo- in Texas this spirit of building up
n high standard of education governs |
the public schools Under such cir
as these we can see no i'm
on injustice in charging the
ield of study, atlording the pupil all
he facilities and advantages possible.
chs, however, is purely and simply
, matter for the taxpayers. They
may not do it with the money apaot-
Toned by the state, but certainly they
haye right To do so with their own,
realized in the shape of extra taxes,
which they vote upon themselves. We
ire especially indulgent to German
md Spanish, believing thcst to be
more practically valuable than Latin
