The study of current events should
form a part of the education OF every
pupil. It is not necessary to postpone
the study of political issues until pupils
have reached the history class and ind 1t
dry matter within the lids OF some text
book. It is not desirable for the teacher
to teach partisanship in the public
school but there can De no valid reason
for not teaching political principles.
Take for instance the late campaign IN
Ohio. The questions there were OF nat

nence of Major McKinley's tariff VIEWS
It was an issue plainly for high pio-
tectiye tariff and against free coinage

Who has reached the teens ought to be
