TIE COMPULSORY EDUCATION BILL
At the Rochester convention OF school super
intendcnts held last summer, the subject OF
compulsory education was Thoroughly ui'
cussed The practical result is Il Dill prepared
by a committee appointed by the cohN eh''o"
which will shortly be introduced In 'he 1t
Iaturc The existing compulsory cuuo"'ioh Ia"
which il ;s designed to supcrsede has pro'eu'
a. we have frequently pointed out, iiat i'''i-
u,e The provision for its enioicehchV Is
utterly INADEQUATE, and even if it had proved
odconatc if all the absentee children had been
I,,onoht to the schoOl-house, most OF them
would have been kept outside for want OF ac-
oo,nmodations. Tho schools are full" tho
smcrintcndent of Public instruction reported
in 1887.
The proposed law in the main corresponds
with the resolution in regard to compulsory
education which the convention adopted. mat
resolution recognized that the weakness of the
present law lies in failure definitely to fix the
obligation to enforce il that an important need
is for more places of detention, free rom any
semblancc to penal institutions, Tor the con-
finemcnt of dclinqucnts under the law ana u
recommended that every community should
furnish sufficient school accommodations, ana
that tr,,ant officers should be required in all
cities and in the larger villages Of the State
The act under consideration, after cnJonlnS
tho attendance at school Of all children between
the ages of eight and fourteen years OF age
provides for the appointment OF truant olhccis
clothed with ample powers charged with The
duty of securing obedience to this most salutary
mandate. II is further provided that by
September, 1851, every city and union free
school district shall provide adequate accom-
modations " for all pupils of school age residing
within the limits Of snch city or district; and
failure to comply with this provision is to be
punished by the forfeiture OF the public money
apportoncd to the offending city or district.
The other important section Of the measure
looks to the erection OF a State school TO which
MAGISTRATES may commit children who arc
shown to be Migrants or habitual truants
The Superintendent of Pablo instruction in
his last annual report submitted a number Of
suggestions which are embodied in the new
bill so that it's general features arc certain to
meet with his approval. IL is to be hoped that
the Legislature will give il the attention which
IT deserves The people of Ncw-York are con-
fronted with the notifying and alarming fact
that school attendance within our borders is
not keeping pace with population. State Of
which this can be said may well trcmble for
her future unless she can successfully apply
remedy. We commend this new compulsory
education bill to the serious consideration OF
the Legislature.

BROOKLYN TO SPEAK FOR HIGH LICENSE

BROOKLYN TO SPEAK FOR HIGH LICENSE
While tho chances of passing the High
License bill at Albany are excellent, ii is
duty incumbent upon good citizens to do all in
their power to help forward This method of
temperance reform, which is both practical
and effective. With the passage Of the bill
the Legislature will have done It's full duty;
but citizens at large will not have done theirs
unless they make such an expression OF senti-
ment in favor Of the measure that Governor
Till will not dare to veto it, The best way TO
give expression to that sentiment is by mass
meetings. Ncw-York has already spoken in
this way; and spoken with no uncertain voice.
The speeches and resolutions at the Chlckcring
Hall meeting had the right ring and cannot
fail TO have decided effect.
We are glad to see that our neiehbors in
Brooklyn are bcstirring themselves in the same
direction. To night mass meeting is to be
held in the Academy of Music, at which thcro
should be large attendance. Ex-sIayor Low
will preside, and speeches have been promised
by Father FransioIi, the Rev. DR.. Bchrcnds,
ex- Assemblynian Howe and Distrct-Attorney

among the speakers, which shows the non
partisan character Of the demand for High
License; and, as ut the Chickering Hall meet
