Shiiiinss--And Wishing the Child

IBV United PresS.l

LONDON, July 15.-Some startling tes-
timony has been given in regard to the
insurance Of children before the select
committee Of the House Of Lords. Dr..
Barwise, health officer for Blackburn,
testified that he was convinced that in
the cases of poor children insured in his
district it was the wish Of the parents to
see the children dead, and that insnr-
;:nce, even as low as thirty shiilings gen
orally led to the children being permit
ted to waste away. Other health officers
gave similar evidence.

SOME EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
Steadily Growing Improvement in
the Public School OlSystem..Dates and
Places for County Institutes.


the Public School System-.Dates and
Places for County Institutes.
In talk with HON. S. NJ. Finger,
State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, on yesterday, the CHRONICLE learn
ed that there was a gratifying general
Improvement in the public school system
nearly all over the State. This fact is
learned from the annual reports of the
county superintendent of public in
struction which are being received.
These reports are due July 1st now, in
stead of November 1st as heretofore.
There are reasons to believe that the
Improvement made this year, and the
apparent growing interest in public
school matters are due largely to the
county educational Institutes which have
been held during the past year by Profs.
Alderman and McIver Their work is
showing and telling, and is proving to
be powerful force in educational mat
terS.
The system could, of course, be made
much more efficient if the public school
fund was larger, but it is very certain
that with the small and insufficient
amount at command, a wonderful work
is being done. AS Major Finger said in
one of his Morehead speeches, North
Carolina does more with dollar in edu-
catlonal matters than does any other
commonwealth in the Union.
