Educstion at the Worlds Fair.

DR.. T. W. Harris, United States com
missioner of education, makes the sug-
gestion that a single building be fur
nished at the Columbian Exposition.
Chicago, of sufficient extent to contain
and properly display all of the exhibits
that belong to education. He says that
at Philadelphia in 1876, not only the
foreign exhibits were separated and
scattered, but the exhibits of the several
states were isolated from one another.
The effect Of the educational exhibit
at Philadelphia consequently was
very much weakened. But at
the cotton centennial at New
Orleans, the educational exhibits of the
nited States and Of foreign nations.
with a few exceptions, were brought
together in the gallery of the govern
neut building. Those who inspected it
pronounce 1t the best exhibit hitherto
made of education. Undoubtedly il
derived half its advantage from the fact
that it was disposed and arranged under
one supervision, and the whole of its
material brought together In one place,
DIR. Harris suggests that there be organ
i1ed in each State, az soon as possible, a
committee with authority to take in
charge all matters pertaining to educa-
tional exhibits. Such committee may
he provided for by the Legislature, or
appointed by the Governor, or, in
the event that neither Of these
arrangements is practicable, said COM
mttee may he organized by election
from local committees formed In cities
and towns, and in the educational insti-
tutious of the State.
The New York School journal COM
menting upon the suggestion Of DR..
Harris relating 10 the formation of State
educational committee says; "In what
ever manner appointed, the committee
should be thoroughly representative OF
all classes of schools and educa-
tionsl institutions, whether public,
private, or denominational, and it
should include state, county, and city
saperintendents, the officers of private
schools and academies, presidents of
| colleges and universities, directors of
institutions for the defective classes, etc. -
This proposition is most sensible, and
should meet with hearty response from
all who wish to see our educational
interests properly presented at this great
exposition. Representatives from all
the world will visit this great exhibit,
and it is highly important that they
| should see what we are doing toward
educating our children and youth. Maine
should take a leading position in this
matter.

During the Columbian Exposition
three notable conventions are TO be held
la the interests Of universal peace. The
frat Is that Of the ter-Parliamenrary
Conference first organized at the Paris
exposition Of 1899. the object OF whose
meetings Ia to formulate and establish
an international aystem of arbitration
The second wiz be that of the old Uni
versal Peace Congress whose organiza-
ton extends back TO 1919. The third
will be conference OF national govern
ments In the interest Of world. wide
peace this last being a new step and
one in advance Of all others hitherto
taken.
The chief objects of these conferences
and meetings will be for recommends
lions or plans to be submitted TO the sew
eral governments Of the world by which
the following steps towards universal
arbitration may be taken;
LIST. That National laws may be har-
itpAlEtb iAtA ttit lilsli-
tuted.
End. To consider and report on the
feasibility Of international treaties of
arbitration and Of extending the same to
all civilized countries.
Sd. To recommend measures for the
establishment of high court or tri-
bnnal which shall sit permanently and
to which shall be referred ultimately all
causes of international difference, which
cannot be adjusted by negotiations.
It will be seen that these plans pro-
pose greater advance towards the
solution of international problems and
the establishments OF international con-
cord than any which have hitherto been
in operation; also, that the United
States is asked to assume leadership
of the nations in the adoption of these
practical measures for the prevention of
war.

The scqaittal Of Mr.. Kingdom is VIC
tory for the press and q victory for the
public. 1t demonstrates that the courts
will not sanction any assumption on the
part OF the police that they can cover up
The consequences of ssssultipg citizen by
srresling him afterwards on q trumped-up
charge. We trust the Boston police will
take to heart the long-needed lesson which
the Kingdom case has taught them, that the
solidarity Of the force to secure conviction
can be broken, and we hope that the public
will realize to what extent zeal to get 4
verdict will carry some policemen.

of the present Legislature have not been
excessive.
Hardly Deserved Consideration.
Portland Press,
The report Of the committee on public
buildings Of the Legislature thoroughly
expiodes the accusation that there was some
impropriety in Gov. Bufleigh's accepting
compensation for bis services ~ q member
of the Capitol commission. The charge
was made in the first place merely in the
hope that it might make some political cap
itsl for the authors Of it, and hardly
deserved the consideration that has been
given il by the committee.
