Compulsory Education Condemned.

ANDERSON, Ind, Nov. 25.--A sensation
in educational circles of Madison county
was sprung to-day during the midwinter
Teachers Institute by Superintendent ]. v.
Busby, of the Alexandria city schools, de-
claring that the compulsory education law
was a complete failure and that it did not,
in any particular. answer the ends for
which it was intended. He said that an ele-
ment was introduced into the schools in the
new pupils that was a positive detriment,
because they attended under compulsion
only and left school as soon as they law
fuily could. This, he held; was working an
other pupils to give up the work before
they had completed the course. Superin-
tendent Carr, of Anderson upheld the law
and said it had resulted in a new $50 900
school building in this city.

State Librarian Henry was present and

libraries for country schools and said that
a bill would be introduced in the Legisla-
ture looking toward levying a tax of %
cents on the 81 900 assessment for the build
ing and maintaining of a library in each
township in the State. If the bill should be-
come a law, the taxes collected by this
means, approximating $4,000 a year, would
be distributed on a basis of school popula-
ton and not according to the wealth Of a
township, thus the strong townships would
help the weaker ones.
