THE HIGH SCHOOL.

There is opposition to the high school
on other grounds than it's cost to the
taxpayers. This opposition is based on
the theory that when the state has pro-
vided the means for obtaining what is
usually called a common school edtca-
tion it has provided all that it should,
and that parents desiring their chill
dren TO have further educational adj
vantages should provide them. Those
who maintain this theory profess not
to be opposed to education, but merely
20 the state providing it. The adher-
ents of the theory ignore the fact that
the state constitution says that the
public school system shall include high
schools, and 1t is provided that they
may be maintained free. The constitu-
tion which is the expression of the will
Of the people of the whole state, fixes
the public school policy, and it fixes
it so that it shall include high schools.
And the members of the convention
that framed the constitution acted most
wisely in fixing the school policy as
they did.
Those who oppose the high school on
the grounds above stated say that the
majority of the graduates from the
common schools will never complete the
high school course, and that hence it
is not for the benefit of majority of
the people. While what they say in
this respect may be true, so far as a
majority of the graduates from the
common schools not going to the high
schools, still the opportunity to attend
should be furnished every pupil. We
believe that in the future it will be
found that a greater instead of IA less
per cent of common school graduates
VIII attend the high school. One rea-
son why so many pupils ego to work or
into some business SO soon as they get
through the eight grades of the COM
mon schools is that the average age Of
those graduates is from two to four
years greater than it should be. This
will be rectifed in time, and Eat 10 dis
tant day, and even those parents who
feel that they need the assistance of
their children on leaving school will not
think of requiring it for several years
common schools. Of course, if a boy
or girl is not prepared to enter the
high school until he or she is sixteen
or seventeen years of age, or possibly
older, the parents in many cases will
feel that they cannot spare their SER
vices.
This city has not had high school
until within few years, and that is
one reason why many think it can be
dispensed with now. They gay that
people got along without it in the
past, and why cannot they get along
without it in the future? They also got
along with q very inferior school sys-
tenn, in fact, one that was scarcely
worthy the name; but would anyone like
to go back to those old DAYS? Car
rying the argument to an absurdity, it
may be said that savages get along
without any schools whatever, and that
they are very we'll eontented. A people
that would go back to old and inferior
conditions are not advancing towards
the higher plane of civilization, but are
receding from it. To abolish or impair
the efficiency Of the high school would
be a going back to old and inferior
conditions.

German bicycle makers are COM
planning that their market is flooded
with American wheels, says the
Springfield Republican. And just as
American manufacturers would DO IN
der the same circumstances, they have
rushed to the government, demanding
more tariff protection, and more tariff
protection has been promised them.
And presumably the. petition viii be
given in the name OF high living and

German workmen be protected against
American pauper labor? This labor

with General Miles calling for more
soldiers, and Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt asking for more ships, it is
worth while to pause and consider
whether those gentlemen may not have
some little international squabble on
hand CT which they decline to notify
the public. If there are any war clouds
floating around they should be hung
up where people can inspect them"
says the Mail and Express. Those
two gentlemen feel that the country
relies upon them to save it though the
country itself is unaware that it does.

ADESERTED WIFE.
Mrs. Kelly Sent Back to Lynn,
Mass.

Support Her.

Oyerseer OF the ,Poor Cummings has
given the case of Mrs. Lena Kelly. the 1s-
year-old wife. abandoned by her husband
at Olnsyyille, his attention and Mrs.
Kelly was sent back to Lynn this morn
ing. Her husband has been located at
Lynn and the poor department of the
Massachusetts city will make an effort to
force him TO take care of his wife.
The details OF this case of abandonment
were told In last Saturdays News. but
the invest cations OF Overseer Cummings
tend to throw still further light on the
SUBJECT and TO place the brutal husband
in a much more unfavorabe position.
According TO the overseer's story the
couple were married at lpswitch. Mass ,
about III months ego. Iho wife Is a
rather attractive looking French girl ard
for time her ways were pleasing to her
husband. But he soon began TO tire OF
her and left her. he was then arrested
on q charge Of non-support by the authorl-
ties OF Ipswitch but was released on bis
promise to take care OF his wife.
Since that time the couple have resided
in Gloucester and salem, but came here
about month ago. MIR. Cummings
stated that in his opinion, the husband
came here with the set purpose OF aban-
doniug his vile and selected Providence
that he mi ght be out Of the jurisdiction
OF the Massachusetts authorities. ---
henry Kels, the husband, Is man
about ~ years of ago and butcher by
trade. lie mas also worked as street car
conductor.
The affair is nov In the hands Of the
lynn authorities and they will see that
Mrs. Kelly receives just treatment at the
hands OF her husband.
