EyG11yUS FREE SCHOOL SYSTEM

To-day begins a new era in the educational
history of England and Wales. The Elementary
Education Act, which the Government carried
through Parliament at the last session. goes
into effect That act before it's final passage
underwent some changes from the form in
which it was introduced, and might well have
been still further amended. As it now stands,
it is by no means an ideal law. On the con-
trary, it exhibits various faults, some trivial,
some serious, which must soon be corrected by
supplementary legislation. But yet it effects
a great improvement in the school system,
especially for the good of the poorer people, so
that it must be ranked among the most fenef-
cent pieces of legislation in recent years.
Under this law the great majority of Gle
mentary schools throughout the Kingdom and
Principally will henCeforth be entirely free to
children between the ages of three and fifteen
years Hitherto fees have been charged, amount
ing to few cents week for each child. The
national treasury now undertakes to pay these
fees to the schools, to the amount of 10 shillings
a year, or say 12 cents a week, for each child
Only those schools, therefore, will be entirely
free in which the fees have not exceeded that
sum but such schools comprise the vast ma
iority. In the remaining schools the former
fees will now be reduced by 10 shillinSs a
year leaving only an insignificant fraction to
be paid by the parents 1t is not mandatory
upon schools to accept this arrangement. They
may decline TO accept the Government subsidy
and 90 on as before. But the law does provide
that there shall be in every community sufii-
cent free school accommodation for all who
wish it so that if the existing schools do not
come under the new law other schools will be
established by the authorities. Nearly if not
quite all the schools WILL however undoubtedly
accept the new system, as it is obviously to their
interest to do so, and as result from to-day
forward, elementary education will practically
be free.
The most serious fault in this law is that it
fails to give public control over the schools to
which public money is granted. Many of the
elementary schools are directed and governed
by the Established Church, and the special
doctrines Of that Church are taught to the
pupils. The law does not contemplate making
any change in such control and teaching, but
il will pay TO such schools the subsidy a por-
lion of which is contributed by Dissenting tax
PAYERS. and ii will also compel the children

general public will be taxed for the support oil
sectarian schools, and people Of one denomina-
ton will be compelled to send their children to
The schools OF another. Such a system is re-
purnant to every feeling of justice and free

reformed; and reformed altogether. The free
schools of England must be made like our own
not only free to scholars, but free from any
kind of sectarian control. And the Church OF

recognizes that fact and yields to it gracefully.
IF not. sooner or later it must yield under COM

The escape Of desperate criminal from the
prison at Jefferson Market shows that the
methods OF guarding prisoners there must be
extremely lax. This man was able to cut the
bars from the transom OF his door. and also the
heavier bars of a window, without being inter
r,mted or detected. Not long ago, in another
case. the PUBLIC was informed that a prisoner
at Jefferson Market was just as secure as one
in the Tombs. Yesterdays discovery puts an
other face on the matter, and calls for careful
investigation.

The latest analysis of the CrotOn water sup
oiled to this city indicates that its condition is
steadily growing worse. That the contamina-
ton Is becoming serious is beyond dispute, and
the need of more careful protection Of the
sources Of supply is too evident to require argu-
ment. The Health Board chemists investiga-
tion in the Middle Branch region disclOses the
presence of nuisances almost as bad as those
on the East Branch Of the CrotOn River, which
have already been described in detail. There
is no more pressing question before New-York-
ers at present than that of preventing the con-
tamination Of their water supply.

THE BONDS.
What Prominent Men Think of the
Present Proposition to Bond the
County for Road Purposes

AOoOAt IAOPOoltlOl1 W DOLu Ll0
County for Road Purposes
Truly interested in finding out the
views of the leading citizens of the com
munity on this important question,
HERALD representative started out on
mission OF interviews with the following
results:
JAMES A. TAFT.
| do not think it practicable to .ond
tile county tor road purposes under ex
listing circumstances.
MAYOR SAMUEL BENN.
l am opposed to bonding the county
for road purposes while our county is in
its present state of development. The
railroads will change our entire system
before long, then we will be better able
to tell where to lay out county roads. l
think the present scheme for .onding
the county for so large sum for this
alleged purpose, will result in more good
for baggers and townsite boomers than
any one else. 1t is my belief the prn-
Opal promoters of the scheme are two
of the commissioners, one of whom is Il
banker, and hopes to handle the funds
thus raised, the other has large townsite
interests whose value he wishes to
| appreciate Every one knows the entire
amount available is inadequate to the
building OF one-feurth the proposed
roads.
JAMES A. HOOD.
l would prefer not to express an opin
ioi:. However, do not think the entire
amount apportioned to Aberdeen ade-
quate to the building OF one good road
| to AFFORD Prairie, but if the amount is
;udicially expended it may prove bene-
fetal in preparing the way for good roads
to be built later on. If there is any pos
sibility of the amount being expended
otherwise than is laid down in the
schedule submitted, am opposed to the
bonds.
b. +. JOHNSTON.
If l..beleved the money to be expended
would build the roads, would favor
bonding the county for this purpose, but
tho amount is inadequate. l am in favor
of roads, but AZ, opposed to the propo-
sition because it is evident the amount
it is purposed to expend on each road
will be inadequate to building road that
will prove Of any practical benefit.
| NJ. J. COCHRAN, LAWYER.
| am opposed to the bonds because the
commissioners cannot be legally bound
to expend the amounts as laid down in
schedule submitted. Another. reason
why am opposed to the bonds is, do
not believe the proposition comes from
the mass of the people, but that the com
missioners are the principal movers in
this matter. This question has been Le-
fore the people before, only recently, and
was voted down. l. is generally known
that the bill authorizing its resubmission
was engineered through the legislature
by the road commissioners of Chelalis
county without any solicitation at the
hands of the people. Altogether, there is
entirely too much vagueness about the
whole affair.
GEORGE D. ALLEN.
l would like to SET. the roads built, and
believe they would greatly benefit the
county, but if there is any possibility OF
the amount being expended in any other
way than as laid down in the schedule,
am opposed to the bonds.
