following from the current number of
The Wisconsin Journal of Education
"A chance phrase in the Bennett law-for so
it mus; be considered-certalnly ought TO be
changed. The law requires that every child
between the ages OF seven and fourteen shall at
tend some public or private day-school in the
city. town or district in which he resides" It is
not the purpose of the Law to interfere with send
ing children away to private schools out of their
own district, and this should be made clear in
the wording Of the law"
Your correspondent has been of the
opinion all along that the entire Ben
nett law was the product of "chance !"
or circumstance, and not of states
manship, and is, therefore, glad that
so distinguished a critic as DR.. Stearns
sees a part of the law at least in some
such light Glad, too, that he under
takes an explanation. Here is more of
what he says:
THE meaning of the Bennett law is that our
common schools should fit the children for
American citizenship"
Now the question naturally arises, is
the common school prepared beyond a
doubt :" to fit the children for Ameri-
can citizenship? In answer let me
turn to the first page Of the same Wis
consin Journal of Education. This is
what find:
Every professions has its quacks, and every
line Of business its failures. and we find among
our teaching force those who bring us neither
honor nor credit"
What sort of preparation for "Amer-
lean citizenship are children likely to
receive from "quacks," and failures, -
and " those who bring US neither honor
nor credit? VIII DR.. Stearns, or any
advocate of the Bennett law explain?
Explain, too, the justice and excel
lence of law which forces parents in
many instances to send their children
to such schools.
Every person familiar with the com
mon school system knows that the
teaching force may contain - and
some of us know that it DOES con-
tain type more dangerous than the
quack or the failure, whose ex-
ample would UNFIT children not only
for American citizenship" but for
citizenship where an eternal reward is
promised.
In stating these facts no arraign-
ment Of the common school system is
intended. 1t is the Ubiquitous Bennett
law that is on trial.
Governor Hoard in his "talk to the
clergy" at Monona Lake Assembly
last summer, asserted his right as one
of the sheep" to be possibly
as one Of the lambs to examine
into the quality of his " fodder this
| too, although no statute COMPELs the
Governor to receive instructions from
the clergy. 1t is to be hoped therefore
that his eXcellency will accord to the
clergy the right to examine the Ben.
nett law which might compel theil
children to swallow very mwholesomt
fodder"
The Democrat predicts that SHOULD
the Bennett law be made an issue, the
democratic vote will be thrown solidly
against it, Be assured, Mr.. Editor
that the " democratic vote is not al
that "will be thrown soIidIy agains
it," +.

SHE WAS POISONED !

Not by anything she drank or took, but
by bad blood. Is it any wonder she
feels " b.ue?" In most cases blues are
only another name for bad blood. A man
or woman feels unhappy. Life seems
dark. The heart is heavy. Bad blood is
carrying its poison all over the body, and
we call it . blues"
