Time for the State 10 Act.

From the Pottsville Chronicle.
Can education be forced upon the peo-
Pile? Is asked by those who have doubts
as to the beneficent results of compulsory
education. One thing, however that can
be said in favor of compulsory education,
Is that If u parent is so grossly negligent
of his child's mental culture as to have no
thought for It's education, but to permit it
to grow up in utter idleness and ignorance,
1t Is high time for the state to introduce
II title of its paternalism into that house
hold. II father and mother forsake their
child Intellectually and leave it to grow
up in rank illiteracy, 1t Is high time for
the state to take 1t up.

Some OF the More Notable Education;
Bills Under Consideration.

Harrisburg, March 5.-One of the nu-
merous bills before the education comrnit-
tee of the house Is known as the Her
mann bill and provides for the transport
ing of children to school at the expense
of the districts. 1t applies to such chill

fixing of new election places in such cases.
This measure is known as the Hawkins
bill. In Difference to its author, the gentle

Not Extrayagance, but Economy.

AS an instance or the exaggerated talk
current among ill-informed persons touch
ing the Hastings Administrations sweep
ing extravaganza, some facts concerning
the bill with which the name of Capt. John
c. Delaney has been connected will be
found to possess interest. 1t Is charged
that this bill simply increases expenses by
abolishing the Office of superintendent of
public buildings, the salary attached to
which Is 81, 400 a year, and creating the Of
flee of custodian, with a salary of 5000 a
year, besides adding to the number of em-
ployes, and all simply to provide a snug
berth for a certain man. The facts in this
case are that under the present system
this important department has superin-
tendent and thirteen employees. The an
nual salary list amounts to $l2 l5O, and
the contingent fund is 1900. or u total
of s27, $50. Under the pending bill the num-
Der of employees remains exactly the same
fourteen in all-while the salary list
and contingent fund amount to but S25, 500,
or an annual saving of $l,GjO. The salary
OF the head of the department Is increased
from 81 400 to $1,000, but, as in the case of
the commissioner of banking, the duties
and responsibility are largely increased.
He Is required to give a bond for $4,000
for the faithful performance of his duties
and the safe keeping of all state property.
Instead of the present loose-ended sys-
TEN of caring for and dealing out supplies
to the departments a business system ap-
proximating that in force under the
United States government Is substituted.
Now there is little system, no head, no re-
sponslbllty. In the recent fire at the state
printing establishment $4,000 worth of
state paper was burned. 1t was not in
sured because 1t was nobody's business to
insure It. An official responsible for the
property under his care, and under S25,-
900 bond, would see to 1t that this did
not happen. IL Is estimated that the saw
ing to the state in supplies, under the sys-
TEN of dealing them out contemplated in
this pending law, might amount to from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year.
