THERE is one thing the patrons of the
north side school should understand:
Their children cannot give attention to
the frivolities of society and do the work
which students should do. Teachers
find it impossible to do good work when
parents permit their children to give
more attention to amusements than to
their school. On the whole there is no
better corps OF teachers in any graded
school in the state than IN the north side
school. But results are not what they
should be and the patrons of the school
are to blame. Their children are permit
ted to remain out of school en- every Pos
slble pretext and in consequence they
are more interested in devising some
scheme to create excuses for non-attend-
ance than in doing the work they should
do. Judging from observation the ex-
pulsion of few pupils would be benef-
cial to the school. Much of the criticism
made upon the teacher rightfully be-
longs to the parent. How many parents
there are who have permitted their child
rem to remain out of school this week be-
cause the county fair was in session.
Next week these children will go to school
believing that amusement is to be sought
rather than instruction and fortified In
the opinion by the approval of the par
emit. The teacher is blamed for the child
indifference when the parent is the re-
sponsible party.
No child of proper school going age
should be excused from school unless for
sufficient reasons. 1t is encouraging
them in the practice of running away
from duty. But the child is always
backed in his request ito be excused" by
the parent. A dancing school is genel-
ally we'll patronized by school going
children This never fails 10 make school
duties appear irksome. VIII, is to blame?

A CORRESPONDENT of The Milwaukee
Journal attempts to prove that the Ben
nett law advocates are hostile to the pub
lie schools and quotes passage from the
report made two years ago to the state
superintendent, by the superintendent of
schools for this county. The passage is
as follows:
THE UNCONVENTIONAL schools is PER-
PETUAL MENACE to the public school, and
Is gradually undermining favorable SEN
timent. 1t Is no alarmist, but one who
reads the signs of the times Alright. who
predicts that before the close of the pres
ent century, the public school In many
sections OF the state will be subordinate
to the UNCONVENTIONAL schools and that
very little English will be taught in a
majority of the latter"
This was written before the enactment
of the Bennett law and showed that the
writer perceived the need of compulsory
education In English. Will Schlerf in
innate that there is anything hostile to
parochial schools in this? unless it be
such parochial schools as exclude English
from their course.
The friends of the public schools make
no attack upon private schools, and not
one word quoted by The Journal cores
pendent can be honestly interpreted so
as to support that charge.
On the other hand there is no hesitancy
on the part of the opponents of the law
to openly avow hostility to the public
schools. The fulminations against the
public schools from the pulpit are by no
means infrequent. The attacks of Col.
Krez are neither lacking in vigor or choice
In expression. Even the chairman of the
democratic state central committee IN
speaking to gentleman OF this county.
declared that he would not send his chill
dren to the public schools because of
their laxlty of morals. Are not the friends
of the public schools justified in oppcs-
ing the political action of these men
when their success means the conserya-
ton of their opinions in statutory form?

Piles this fall and still vote against the

way inconsistent with support OF free

against Spooner, everything possible in

DEMOCRATS can act in accordance with
their convictions this fall both on the
tariff issue and the school question. For
tunately the platforms can be divided and
the same line of cleaoage will separate
the candidates. The congressional NOM
nations are squarely antipodal on the
tariff issue. The good in the democratic
platform lies in its utterance on national
matters. To vote for every candidate on
the democratic ticket who will have
aught to do with national matters is to
aid in conserving every principle of true
democracy. The democrats of the state
who are in favor of public schools and
instruction in the English language can
stand by their principles in voting
against the state ticket nominated by the
pseudo-democratic convention. They
can thus vote for tasiff reform and the
integrity of public schools.

The plank, in the Democratic platform
relating to education, is piece of dema-
gogy, which will ever stigmatize its
authors as lot of trucking politicians.
1t opposes certain evils, and then de-
mands the unconditional repeal of law
which is primarily intended to remedy
them. 1t rebukes "paternalism," but re-
jects law which if properly enforced
would tend to make the masses more in tel
lgent and independent, and consequent
ly remove all temptations on the part
OF governments to exercise arbitrary con-
troll. 1t is SO clearly bid for votes, that
any Democrat who places honor above
party, must feel himself disgraced by it.
The gush about "paternalism" and "pa-
ternalistic laws" shows how utterly the
rational side of man was disregarded in
originating the platform. Education has
never led to mans subsection, but it has
always tended to bring him nearer to an
enlighted self-control: Where the many
are ignorant, popular government is a
farce. Who can properly be called p art
of government of which he knows
nothing? A party which calls for the
unconditional repeal OF law which pro-
tects children against being employed in
shops, factories and other places of bust
ness, when they ought to be at school
ma 70
as citizens of a republic, cannot consis-
tently talk against government usurpa-
ton, as it is taking the surest means of
bringing about the very conditions which
it pretends to oppose.-PlymouM Re
