| FROM the various interpretations of the
Bennett law made by the opponents OF
that statute one would have reason tc
infer that the English language itself is
one mass Of ambiguous terms, but the fact
is our vernacular has accurately express
| ed the subtlest thought for several hun
dred years, and any attempt to read into
the Bennett law anything like what Paul
Sauer of SHADES Corers says it means,
argues either total ignorance of the simp-
lest meaning of words or else betrays
what is far worse, total disregard for
truth. Either of these alternatives will
apply to large number of the writers
who have entered the controversial arena,
stripped for the fray. The truth is that
many Of those who have appeared in be-
half of the parochial school, whose very
existence they feigned to think was i'm
periied, have entered blindly into the
controversy and have resorted to every
sort of literary diplomacy to try to make
out a case. The Milwaukee Senti-
mel and the few other papers that had
vertebra enough TO take positive stand
have reiterated again and again that the
law IN question interferes in no way with
any school so long as the minimum
amount of English is taught therein.
During all this discussion the law has
lain before its opponents, and while they
persistently attacked it they have never
quoted it, nor read it except to misunder-
stand it.
The Lutheran synod did q good thing
in calling attention to this law which
would, without the intervention of that
body, have been absolutely dead letter.
\ public interest in educational matters
has been aroused by this discussion, but
the discussion has unluckily been replete
with vast amount of educational plati-
tudes. Thorough English, thorough
German, thorough Polish education are
the ideals looked for by many who are
thinking only of common school educa-
ton. Now a thorough or an approx
mately thorough education in more than
one language is something neither phil
osopher nor poet" ever advocated for
boys and girls under fifteen years of age;
and all that any school ever gave or ever
viii give TO children of that age is the
ability to use well one language in the
affairs of life, and the power to commune
IN leisure moments with the great minds
that have expressed themselves in that ton
que. Policy would dictate the proper relat-
ionic exist between the family units of the
so-called foreign elements would require.
and culture would demand, that foreign
languages form a part of the education OF
the rising generation; but in every case
must they occupy subordinate position,
and all this talk about "thoroughness"
is pure twaddle.

THE following brief but incisive article
from the pen of gentleman of deep re-
| ligious convictions is worth the earnest
perusal of all interested in the school
| question.
To the Editor Of The Sentinel:
| MILWAUKEE, Sept. THE discussion
of the Bennett School law in your col
umns can result only in good, as it brings
through diverse opinions thought and
| light upon the educational question.
| If we draw line and place the dispu-
tants correctly we find on the one side a
partly opposing the right of the state,
| and on the other side a party defending
| the right of the state to control the
schools and if we come to the root of the
question it is: Shall the church or the
state direct public education? The right
of the parent to educate his child, being
denied by the two strongest parish cham
pions, to-wit, the Catholics and the
Lutherans, cannot be brought in argu-
ment by that side. The question then is,
which is more in accordance with the
spirit and conductive to the perpetuity
of the republic, our common school sys-
tenn or the proposed parish school sys-
tenn?
The very general word religion so often
introduced by those who most radically
and bitterly differ as to its true meaning
is a bugbear. Every church and creed
has clear field, full scope and protec-
ton in the republic, and ought to be
satisfied with that. To person brought
up in the Catholic faith like myself, the
exclamation give us the children or we
perish" seems feeble cry.
1t is fairly safe to assume that our fuu-
ture citizenship will be reflex of the
schoolroom. If we ground the children
of our composite people deeply in the
American idea, and in the patriotic spirit
of the revolutionary fathers, we must
have fraternized and robust state, but
if we Inaugural te a system of parochial
education, making sectarian interests the
underlying foundation, 1 should dread
the result to our system of government.
As to the teaching of different languages
in our schools, justice as well as common
sense requires that the language in which
the constitution, the laws, and our court
decisions, are written and recorded,
ought to be the school language.

BAsE ball receives a large amount of
notice from the newspapers. Prize fight
ers are better known to the multitudes
Of readers than the first educators of the
land. John L. Sullivan's demise would
demand more ink and provoke more signs
than the announcement of the death OF
Holmes would. An educational problem
without political significance never re-
ceives any notice from the press With
the exception of a few magazines the
periodical literature of our time can lay
but little claim to being great educator
The policy of its management seems to
be to find out what the public wants and
then to cater to its tastes. Only those
who are in advance of the average news
paper are the gamers by it. The metro
pohtan press no longer educates and en-
mobiles the public mind. It rather seeks
to profit by the passions of the masses.

HOME rule for Ireland seems to b

HOME rule for Ireland seems to be
languishing. Public opinion to-day is not
as much in its favor as when Gladstone
went before the nation on that issue.
1t is not that the demand or the necessity
is any less urgent than at that time, but
i would seem that the movement was
somewhat too far in advance of the gen.
eral craftsmanship of Great Britain.
Parnell and Gladstone can not now carry
the nation after them and their efforts,
though unrelaxed, do not provoke the in
terest they did few years ago. Conse-
quently there is an apathy existing among
the masses of the people, and should
either of the great leaders pass from the
scene of active work there is great reason
10 fear that the success of their princi-
pies would be indefinitely postponed.

THE republican papers are having a
harvest of southern outrages. 'INTIMI-
DATIoN AT THE POLLS" "NEGRoEs Nor

SHERIFF KILLED" are some of the head
lines used. We were told it was neces-
sary the republican party should be re-
stored to power because Of these outrages
in the south. But here we are with re-
publicans in power and the muderous
southerner still indulging his appetite for
negro blood. The negro is lamb in
peacefulness, an angel in virtue down
south. True enough he changes his
character when he comes into northern
states. Down south he has reached the
millennial stage and that place would
be paradise but for the barbarous eau
casian. And all the time there sits Har-
rison firing out democratic officials and
never saying a word in behalf of the in
Inundated negro. We should have a new
deal in the interests of the southern
negro.

THERE is an encouraging prospect of a
row among the protectionists and when
thieves fall out honest men get their own.
When certain industries first sought to
influence legislation in their own behalf,
each worked individually and wanted the
favoritism limited to itself. It soon be-
came apparent that union OF forces was
necessary. All argued that a mutual
system OF robbery would equalize mat
tiers between themselves and that those
persons who from the nature of their en-
ployment or products could not be pro-
tected by tariff, should be made the
common victim of the harpies who had
united to secure plumber. The farmer
and the laborer were selected as the VIC
tins. In order to prevent any resistance
on their part they were assured the tariff
was designed mainly for their benefit.
They swallowed the arguments and paid
tribute to the manufacturers. None
shouted more Justify for protection than
the fools who were being robbed. A tariff
was placed on wheat to prevent importa-
tons when none would be made If q
| bounty were offered. But the farmer
| never looked beyond his nose and be-
came a docile slave of the manufacturer
The old spirit of selfshness has been
INDUCED SO long that its appetite has
increased and it has grown cannibalistic
The iron manufacturer wants free soft
coal Having feasted on the farmer and
the laborer this modern Polyhemus de-
mands a new victim and one of its ole
| brethren. 1t is the beginning Of the bud
It is war among the cannibals of produc
ton. It is good sign for the honest
free-trader who has not passed into the
man of protected Industries.
