Has Popular Education Failed?

President Eliot in the Forum.
1t cannot be denied that there is serious
and general disappointment at the results
of popular education up to this date. In
spite of all efforts to make education
universal, all classes complain more than
ever before of the general condi-
tons of society. Yet after two whole
generations it seems as if some increase of
genuine reasonableness of thought and
action in all classes of the population
ought to be discernible. Many persons.
however. fail to see in the actual conduct
of the various classes of society the evil
dences of increasing nationality.
The educated critics of the practical re-
suits of public education complain that
iawless violence continues to break out
just as it did before common schools were
thought of; that lynch law is familiar in
the United States, riots common from Ber-
lin to Seattle, and assassination an avowed
means of social and industrial regen-
Grafton. Even religious prosecutions. these
critics say, is rife. The Jews are oStracIzed
in educated Germany and metropolitan
New \ ork and in Russia are robbed and
driven into exile by thousands. Are votes
less purehasable now than they We're be-
fore the urban graded school and the state
university were known?
On the other hand, the least-educated
and most laborious classes complain that
In spite of universal elementary education
society does not tend toward greater
equality of condition. They allege that
the rich man In modern society does not
bear, either in peace or in war, the grave
responsibilities which the rich man
of former centuries, who was great land
owner, soldier and a magistrate was
compelled to bear They point out that
wars are more destructive than ever, this
century being the bloodiest of al! the CEN
turtles. If universal education cannot
abolish or even abate, in seventy years,
the horrible waste and cruelty of war. can
anything great be hoped from it for the
laboring classes?

IN MENORIAM.

Oh yet we trust that somehow good
Will be the final goal of ill,
To pangs OF nature, sins OF VIII,
Defects OF doubt, and taints OF blood;
That nothing walks with aimless feet;
That not one life shall be destrOy'd,
Or cast as rubbish to the void,
When God hath made the pile complete:
That not worm is cloven in vain:
That not moth with vain desire
Is shrivelpd in fruitless fire.
Or but subserves another's gain.
Behold, We know not anything;
can but trust that good shall fall
At last-iar off-at last. to all,
And every winter change to spring.

And with no language but cry.

Thus there Is always more or less wood

il often happens that decaying fruits and

Such q cellar IS always source of danger
to the people who live and sleep in the

also are obliged TO enter IL frequently. No
such menace 10 health should be- allowed
to exist. The wet cellar should be drained
and If dry surface cannot
otherwise be secured. the bottom should
be covered with cement. Bins, boxes and
barrels should he placed upon stones or
bricks TO keep them from the ground. The
walls of tho cellar should be whitewaehed,
and light and ventilation should be pro-
vided. The cellar should be kept just az
free from decaying matter as is any other
part of the honse Wherever the cellar is
