THE free-text-book bill ought to be-
come q law, and it should require all
books used in the schools Of the state to
be uniform. What is the use of our
compulsory attendance law unless we
have it supplemented by a fres-book
statute? Where is the profit in compel
ling parents to send their children to
school when such parents may perhaps
not have the means with which to buy
bread, let alone books2 Does not society
accept the paternalistic-the purely So
ciallstic--theory in Its public. school sys-
tenn because society believes that its own
safety lies in the education of the chill
dren Of the poor a. well as those of the
rich? Why, then, should we pause half
way over1 Is there any reason why the
public should furnish teachers and not
books? Are not both equally necessary
means for the attainment of common
end7 If so, why should one and not the
other be fostsred2 To compel children
to attend school, 10 hire teachers for
them, in order that society may be the
gamer, and then. fail to provide them
with books, could only be equalled in alb
surdity by enacting that eople. between
certain ages should catch fish for the
public, that tackle should be free, but
that they should furnish their own bait
The present system of procuring books
is costly. and the lack of unifor nifty is
both costly and sxasperating. The OBJ
lection that pupils will quickly mutilate
and destroy public books is not we'll ta-
ken. Could not the teachers authority
and discipline be invoked to protect the
books as well as the other apparatus and
the building of the districts Would not
the giving of few small prizes at the
end of the term to those pupils in each
school whose books were in best condition
tend to establish rivalry in neatness and
care? Finally, what argument against
free textbooks does not equally apply
against the free circulating libraries Of
the cities2 And yet the latter are very
successfully

THERE is considerable opposition to
Representative Wineman's bill requiring
one year. residence in the state before a
divorce may be legally applied for. The
present minimum statutory period is
three months. The law as it stands IS a
good thing fer Fargo, Grand Forks and
other cities where divorce colonies are To-
Gated, and where the colonists spend
their money freely. The moral aspect of
the present system cuts no figure with
the opponents Of Mr.. Wineman's amend
ment. The rights of innocent children
and the good of society are not consid-
cred. Those who favor the present law
certainly know that people who come to
this state to remain for few months and
then apply for divorce seldom have q
righteous cause, else they could secure
the desired decree at home. They would
not go to the trouble and expense Of
taking up temporary residence here if
they could get divorce IN their own
state. Our loose divorce law is disgrace
to North Dakota, and it makes Of the
state a wsll-merited butt for the iibes
and jokes Of eastern people and newspa-
pers. Judging by comrnents thereon in
the t0lpmns of the state press Mr.. Wine
man:S@fA has the support of the greater
mass of the citizens, who believe that
reasonable safeguards should intervene
between public decency and the careless
granting of divorces. Al it is new, it is
possible for misfit husband or wife to
get a North Dakota divorce without the
defendant knowing anything about it.

1t is shameful. After while the adyo-
