save the ChiIdren.

Editor Morning Ne,OS: The article of
Mr.. WIN. r. Boyd is practical and to the
point. 1t is the right and duty of the state
to protect and educate its children. Con-
fucius, the Chinese statesman and philoso-
pher, who. for common sense aud clear
reason never had superior, laid the founda-
zion OF the state, its greatness. purity and
its stability in the education and training
of the child. The old Spartan law was that
the child belonged to the state, and was to
be educated for it; ard if the parents failed
in their duty the child was taken from them
and educated according to the laws of the
state. The result was in the best days of
Sparta there were no thieves, drunkards.
vagabonds or hbertines. The women were
virtuous and the men brave and honest.
The Indifferent fathers and mothers curse
the country with their children; for from
them spring the "street arab,n the young
roughs, the budding libertine, the pros
titutes, the drunkards, the gamblers and the
murderers. The street is a bad educator. it
is demoralizer; and there should be a law
forbidding boys and girls on the streets
after certain hours. II parents cannot take
care of and control their children then there
should be law that can.
1t is not the punishment of crime so much
as the prevention that the law should look
to. That is the wisest of all legislation.
For as Milton wrote:
The childhood shows the man
AS morning shows the day.
Greville, who was thinker and a writer.
said: II hardly know so melancholy q re-
Election as that parents are necessarily the
sole directors of the management of
children; whether they have, or have not
Judgment, penetration or taste to perform
the task" AS bishop Erie wrote: "A
child is man in a small letter; his soul is
yet white paper ulscribbled with SER
vations Of the world, wherewith, at length.
it becomes blurred notebook"
The interest of society demands that the
morals of children be looked after; that
their education into good citizenship be an
object and an aim; and where the parents
are Indifferent to the habits, morals or
doings of their children, they should be
taken from them. An Indifferent father
| and mother but offers premium for vice,
disorder and bad citizenship. The state
must either educate rightly, or punish crime
born Of the want of parental instruction.

FLYING TO THE NORTH.

Prof. Newton's Account of the Meteor
that Exploded in Maine.
The brilliant meteor which was recently
heard to explode with tremendous noise in
many places in Maine appears to have been
moving northward, nearly over Portland,
Me-, perhaps from as far south as Boston,
and to have disappeared some miles above
the surface of the earth over the middle or
no:thernsparts of Franklin county, Maine,
says Prof. Newton Of Yale.
So far as known, no stones have been
secured from the meteor. If this is the
true path the body entered the air with a
tremendous velocity The earth was at
that time moving eighteen miles a second.
directly toward the point from which the
meteor was coming.
According to accepted theories, the meteor
was moving faster than the earth, and the
stone entered the air with the sum of the
two velocties.
This makes velocity of more than forty
