PRESIDENT MCKINLEY will not re-
ceive the finding OF the Eagan court
IN artial for several days yet, as it is
customary for the Secretary of War
to refer the finding of the court mar
tial to the Judge Advocate General
for legal review before forwarding
it to the President. There is no
doubt that the finding was guilty on
both counts. This finding may be
approved, set aside, or mitigated in
the judgment of the President, and
the general impression is that it will
be mitigated. Eagan deserves pun
ishment but in view of his long and
honorable service, it should not be
as severe as dismissal from the army.

REPRESENTATIVE Cousins, Of Iowa,
in a speech in favor Of the Hull army
bill, paid his respects TO those who
have expressed so much fear of the
necessary increase in the regular
army. ''He said:" | have mot lived
long enough to learn of anything in
the history of the exploits Of Ameri-
can soldiery or of their service, to
justify that suspicion which is cast
upon the institution known as the
regular army of the u. s., by the inn
putation that it could ever be used as
a MANAGE to the liberties Of Aneri-
can citizenship. Does the history of
valor and glory in. the Revelation
prompt the gentlemen Of the minori-
ty and of the opposition to warn
America against American soldiery?
Does the record of the regulars led
by Gen. Jackson, at New Orleans, Fill
the hearts of the gentlemen with fear
and apprehension for the safety Of
our citizens? Does Chepultepec send
warning even into modern Washing
ton? Did there ever issue from the
lips, now closed in everlasting love
ana fame in that silent 11aausoleum
by the Hudson, any word of MANAGE
to future citizen, any thought save
peace, any oracle save liberty and
union? God spare a grateful coun-
try and an admiring world from any
doubt about the matchless E1agnani-
nifty of Appomattox. La all the
y ears of toll aud strife and victory
that make the history of our repablic
great. the regular army has been it's
shield and buckler."

Undoubtedly the man most pron1i-
| nently mentioned in the newspapers
today is Gen. Eagan, and his recent
bitter attack upon those who criti-
cised the substance furnished by his
department for the army, will readily
convince the people throughout the
country that he has taken an unwise
course, to say the least. General
Eagsn's name appears 18th on the
/ list of brigadier generals of the
United States Army, which may in
some way account for the unfortu-
nate position in which he has placed
himself at the present time. He is q
man Of strong character, and un-
doubted backbone as fighter He
is able to stand up and take his own
part without fear of results. He is
at the present time posing before the
people as defender of the subsis-
tence department OF the army; what
the result will be, only complete in
yestigation viii reveal. However
much he may criticise the head of
army or others who find fault with
the meat which he furnished to the
troops during their campaign in Cuba,
he certainly at the present time feels
that he Is fighting az ainst great odds,
and no doubt is quite concerned
about winning cut in the present
war of words. An investigation of
his methods conducted by a court
martial will no doubt bring to light
many things which will be surprise
to the people in general, if they get
a chance to read the report. Unless
sooner discharged from the service,
General Eagan will be put on the
retired list in 1905. He has been
brigadier general for about a year,
having been elevated to that position
the 18th of January, 1898. He has
good record as soldier, although at
one time in his earlier life he was
court martialed, but was subsequent
~ cleared of the charge.

OVER EDUCATION.

The article by Mrs. Wallace in the
last Ladies' Home Journal on "Ihe
Modern Murder of the Innocents' is
bringing out considerable comment,
many of the opinions of which APP
pear to have been very hastily formed
In the first place, Mrs. Wallace's
statement of the facts of modern edu-
cation of children is distorted almost
beyond semblance of fact. That
children are as a general rule over
worked in school today is not even
true, for the great evil of modern edu-
cation is not overwork but underworld.
The tendency is to make all school
room duties play instead of work,
from the clay figures of the kinder
,garten to the pyrotechnics of the
chemical laboratory. We do not dis
parage the principal, but do lament
the magnifying of it's Importance.
The one great lesson for a child to
learn during the course of its educa-'
ton is to surmount all difficulties
which come in its way. This the"play"
principle in education can never
teach.
But lest our discussion should par
take to much of a theoretical ma
ture, let us get down to some of the
facts of oyerwork.
The most troublesome cause of
overwork is the inequality of the
capacities of different pupils. One
learns in half an hour what it takes
another three hours to master only
imperfectly. But the lockstep of
cIasswork must be maintained and
the dull student is crowded too hard
while the bright student is under
worked. Any amount of agitation
will never cause these two students
to work together in the same class to
the advantage of each, and the only
remedy is a system whereby each
student can be advanced to new work
as soon as the preceding work is
completed.
But the sum and substance of what
we would say is comprehended in the
: one sentence "going to school is-or
should be a business. TT is easy bust
ness when the energies of the stu
ident are devoted singly to the getting
eof an education but when the allur-
;ments of society" are permitted to
take the time and energies which
should be devoted to laying up ment
al capital for life, then education |
becomes hard, and the neglected les
son must be prepared at the expense
Of sleep and healthful recreation.
There is another small class of stu
slents-the over ambitious, whose too
; severe devotion to duty, should of
course be restrained by wise parents.
