y PUBLIC SCHOOLS or ENGLAND.
Not Free Like the schools Of This Coun-
'y-Hardships OF the Fec system.


Inter oceanl .n
1t Is mistake to suppose that the Engiist
public schools, like our own, are free schools.
The children Of @all who can afford" to do
70 are obliged to pay fees ranging from
csntse W cents per week. BY @all who can
AFFORD it, Is meant all who will not publicly
proclaim themselves paupers And even
public proclamation of pauperism does not
always suffice. School board officers visit
the homes OF these children as spies to as
certain whether the "pauperism" is real II
In the judgment OF these functionaries IL IL
feigned prosecution follows.
Since 1876. when the compulsory act was
passed, these prosecutions have taken the
form Of persecution. Parents are obliged
under the law 10 send their children te
school Not being able to pay the @fess. :"
and being un willing that their little boys
and girls should be branded as paupers
before their mates, the compulsory act Is
set at naught The persecution then COM
mences. In his now celebrated speech at
Warrington, where he advocated the
abolition Of the fee system and the conver-
sion OF the public into free schools after the
the American ideas, Mr.. Chamberlain read
the following letters to prove the hardships
entailed by the fee system;

The Prayers Were Mixed


This summer SONS parts Of our country
being affected with drought special pr ayers
have been delivered. the people imploring
the Almighty for rain We do not know
whether the prayers have been answered
everywhere rs expected, but We know that
when the prayers for rain were first insti-
tuted there was trouble. On learning OF the
drought the holy synod composed special
prayers for rain and sent them to all the
priests In the country, directing them to
deliver the prayers three times day.
In some parts Of Russia the drought was
quickly followed by a rainy season, which
began to destroy the crops The people
grumbled against the priests. who they be-
lieyed had invoked too much rain Then
the holy synod composed new prayers for
fair weather and sent them to the priests as
before. The peasants whose felis were yet
scorcning from drought were dumfounied
by the new prayers AT last the holy synod
made a correct orler, directing the priests
20 exercise their own judgment as to
whether they should pray for rain or for
fair weather.
