The supreme court of North Dakota
has struck n hard blow at the divorce
industry In that state by directing the
dismissal of case where the plaintiff
was not a bona fide resident OF the state
and directing the lower courts to in
uuire closely into this feature Of divorce
eases in the future. Whatever laws
a state may have for divorce of the bona
fide residents no state Is justified In
making provision for the divorce OF resi-
dents of other states. The action OF the

FREE SCHOOLS IN ENGLAND.

American educators are much given
to complaining of the reluctant support
given our admirable free schools. But
the recent address of the president of
the National Union Of Teachers of Eng
land shows that they are not alone in
their complainings. In this address, de-
livered at the twenty annual con-
ference, Prof. Waddington practically
declared that the English system of
board and voluntary schools working
side by side is a failure, and he pleaded
ton of the child from the arena Of
dogma doctrine or party politics. He
spoke thus as a churchman and the mas
ter OF a church school, "How long" he
asked, lis the education of the English
boy and girl to be subject to the fitful
generosity of the benevolent, while the
superior education of the Swiss and the
and commercial supremacy in the mar
kets of the world?'
The English board schools supported
by imperial and local taxes last year
had nearly two and half million pupils
and the voluntary schools supported in
part by voluntary contributions had
nearly three million pupils. There We're
| 29,976 teachers in the board schools and
26,4I6 in the voluntary schools, or one
certified teacher for every eighty pupils
| in the former and one for every 11j
pupils in the latter. The difference illus
trates the superiority of system in
which the schools are supported wholly
| by public revenues to one in which vol
| untary contributions are depended upon
| even in part. There Is corresponding

According to the International lawyers
Spanish subjects in the United States
are to be viewed by our government
with suspicion as long as hostilities with
Spain continue. 1t is presumable that
the Spanish government will reciprocate
the compliment with reference to Amcri-
can citizens on Spanish soil. Americans
who do not want to be under suspicion
will therefore do well to keep out OF
reach of Spanish officials
