CopfPULsoRY EDUCATION.

The Iowa Legislature is foolishiy
wrestling with bill providing for
the compulsory education of chill
dren. Such laws cannot be enforc-
ed. ard legislatures that attempt it
are only wasting time and money.
Laws which undertake to perform
the duties of parents are never sue
cessful or beneficial. A compul-
sorry education law is such a stat
ute. 1t is the duty of the State to
provide ample facilities for the ed
ucation Of the young, it is the. du
ty of the State to encourage edu-
cation in every reasonable way, but
in this land of freedom and liberty,
of individual actor, the people do
not take kindly to compulsory laws
which interfere with their indepen-
dence. After having provided the
facilities for education it is doubt
full If the State should go further
aud do what the parents ought to
do, namely Compel children to
attend school. In theory this may
be the right thing to do. inasmuch-
as it is in line with the right assum-
ed and exercised by the State to
control education; but in practice
it has not worked satisfactorily, for
the reason that parents-even those
who fail in their duty-object to in
reference in their affairs by the
State.
For dozen years or more New
York State has had compulsory
education law, and it has been
steadily growing in disfavor, not
alone with parents, but with edu-
Gators the mselves. The law declares
that children physically capable
must attend school certain time
every year, and requires officers to
enforce the statute. Nevertheless,
the State Superintendent of Public
instruction, in his report for 1887,
declares that the uneducated class
is growing larger, that sthe atten-
dance upon the schools does not
keep pace with the advance in pop
ulation," and even that "the COM
pulsory education law does not COM
pei"
When the State has provided
ample facilities for popular educa-
ton, il has done its full duty to the
community; the remainder should
be left to parents.

The WEEKLY EVENING Posi-
The New York Evening Post"
will begin, on the third of May, to
issue q weekly edition, having for
its principal aim the promotion of
Revenue Reform, which has become
the paramount issue in national pol
itics. The existence of an actual
surplus in the Treasury estimated
to reach $40, 100000 on the 30th
of June. 1883, and the <nrther in
crease thereof under present laws,
are o menance to all business in
terests, and direct incentive to
wastefulness aud corruption in the
appropriations of public money.
The attention of the people having
been strongly drawn to this sub
iect by the President in his last an
nual message, the need of informa-
ton and popular enlightenment on
questions of revenue and taxation
has been increasingly felt in all
parts Of the country.
It is the intention Of the manage
ment to make q first-class weekly
newspaper of IL pages. Subscrip-
ton price 81 per year. A free
copy Of the first number will be
mailed anywhere on request. Send
