HOME AND
SCHOOL
Article in Education" Written
by Superintendent Cassidy.
Comparison Of rethOds of the Past
and Present.
Copy

Primary teaching in the years gone by
were home work. In fact it was dis.
tinctly Characterized by what might be
termed, mothers work. The child
learned from and through the mother,
albeit unwittingly, the first essential Of
mental development. He saw the moth
or laying the foundation and corner stone
OF his educational structure, but no more
comprehended its full purpose than the
Porto Rican, Cuban, or Filipino does
what Americans understand by the term
liberty.
Modern, todsy's, primary education
seems to have gone off on tangent
from the old time circle of first intellect
ual work. The home has seemingly
been placed in the background while
the school has been substituted in it's
blessed place.
Superintendent M. A. Cassidy in an
article entitled "Home and School"
published in the we'll known educational
magazine Education" very succinctly
and clearly presents the present status
of the case and the future needs of this
phase OF educational work.
Mr.. Cassidy first makes the statement
that "the earliest education was domes'
tic" Then he adds "there still exists
thei m sto intimate and sacred relation
between them"-home and school.
Mr.. Cassidy writes most strongly on
the necessity Of parents training their
children, or as he aptly puts it, of using
"means to awaken the intelligence of
their children"
The need Of intoxicating in a child's
mind the love of good, healthy, mental
growth-giviDg books is clearly portrayed.
From the first and most essential home
work, Mr.. Cassidy takes up the school
room work and calls particular attention
to the great need of parents taking a
deeper interest in the mental cultivation
OF their children by teachers.
One Paragraph in his essay well en-
phasizes a particularly pertinent truth
that teachers should not be mere hearers
of their children's lessons, because all
good parents want their children to be-
come thinkers. There is world OF
truth in this.
In closing his essay, Mr.. Cassidy calls
especial attention to the need of closer
cooperation between teacher and parent
doubtless for the purpose Of overcoming
the present tendency of shifting part Of
the brain cultivating work from the
teacher, and most properly so.-Leader.

a GoyERNoR pEFENDs Els STATE.

II
Gov. voorhees, of New Jersey is of the
opinion apparently that Gov. Pingree OF
Michigan is more of demagogue than
a statesman-at least that is a fair in
ference from remark he made in Wash
ington the other day. when he was shown
a statement OF Gov. Pingrees to the eff
feet that New Jersey ought to secede
fIom the union on account Of the protec-
ton which her laws give 20 trusts.
Gov. Voorhees, said that ne could not crit
icise a brother executive. but he thought
he would be excused for saying that this
c.amor against New Jerseys trust Iaws
vas largely demagogical. 1t is a fact, he
said, that the laws of his state are lib
eral toward corporations, but there are
three other states which have substan-
italy the same laws in respect to trusts.
The utmost care was taken in framing the
New Jersey laws, the Governor said. to
prevent the Incorporation of fakes of any
kind. Only bona fide concerns can get
charters from New Jersey, II what the
Governor of that state said Is to be re-
lied upon.
And the New Jersey Governor hasn't
the horror of trusts which some of the pol
iticians and newspapers have. He said:
The combinations of capital which have
lately attracted so much attention are
hardly trusts in the noxious sense of that
term. The old-style trust which was in
reality monopoly, sought to enhance the
price of the commodity which it handled.
In this selfish purpose it failed oftener
than it succeeded, but in the concentra ton
of interests now going on, the chief pur-
pose is TO bring about economy in pro-
duction."
The view which the New Jersey Gov
ernor takes of trusts is that which is taken
by their defenders, and it must be admit
ted that there are some facts 20 sustain
that view. Some of the articles which
are now produced by trusts are sold at a
lower price than before there was a com
bination of the manufacturers of them,
but there are other things for which high
er prices are demanded. If there could
be assurances that trusts would bring
about lower prices 1t would be a difficult
matter 20 make much of a political issue
out Of trusts But no such assurance
can be given. 1t is a fact that wher-
ever trust has felt it could put up the
price of its product without inviting com
petition it has almost invariably done so.
While it is true that by combination the
cost of production is lowered the combina-
ton is not made for the purpose of af-
fording consumers the benefit of lower
prices.
The trust question is one that Is going
to command great deal of attention be-
fore it is settled, and demagogues are GO
ing to use 1t for all they can to advance
their political fortunes. What the people
however, want to know is whether
trust is good or a bad thing for them
They are seeking a truthful answer to
that question:,

SKATER ms OPINIONS

II is clear that Gen. Shafter doesn't
intend TO be forgotten. He takes occasion
quite frequently TO let the people
hear from him on matters pertain
ing to the war. And it must be ad-
mitted that he is never dun. He doesn't
use many words, but he manages to make
himself understood. He is not so careful
about the elegance of his language as he
is about its force. The forcible way in
which he expressed his opinion of the fit
ness of the Cubans for self-government
when he was visitor in this city with
the presidential party will not soon be for
gotten by those who heard his words on
that occasion or who saw them in print.
1t seems he still has views about the
Cubans. and that he is prepared to ac-
cept the opinion of Gen. Lawton that ID
will require 100000 men to conquer and
hold the philippines. But what he says
about the Cubans and Cuba is of more IN
terest than what he thinks about the sit
uatioh i'm the Philippines. because he was
the general which led our forces in tile
Santiago campaign.
He says that he is satisfied that our
trouble with the Cubans is not over. On
what does he base that opinion? The pub
lie would like TO know 1t is evident that
his opinion is not unconsldered, because
he has expressed a similar opinion on 9th
er occasions. Does he think that ii is the
purpose of the Cuban generals to stir up
a war against this country? II seems e
be certain that the common people are
anxious for peace. 1t is true there is a
large percentage of the men who don
want to work. and who could easily be
induced TO engage in an instruction. but
they would not meet with the encourage-
ment they did in the war with Spain. The
planters and small farmers would be hos
tile TO them and they would have TO fight
for all they got to eat
1t is doubtful if there will be another in
surrection. but we may have a great deal
of trouble in establishing a stable and in.
telligent government in the island, aud in
getting the Cubans to accept our way of
doing things II that is what Gen. shafter
means when he says he believes we shall
have more trouble with the Cubans il Is
probable he Is right. His talk, however.
seems 70 indicate that he expects some
other kind of trouble. If he does, the
chances are he is mistaken

The report by way Of Madrid. that Gen.
Otis has placed at the disposal of Gen.
Rios some 100 Filipino prisoners. to be
exchanged for Spanish prisoners held by
Aguinaldo's troops, lacks confirmation at
Washington. If the report is correct, 1t
Is evident that Otis has no fear of in
creasing the fighting force of the insur-
gents by releasing a considerable lot Of
prisoners. The probabilities are that the
insurgents have now large surplus Of
men over guns, and Gen. Otis may have
completed arrangements TO shut off their
source of supply of arms and ammuni-
tion. Again, several hundred Filipinos
who had been In American hands might
do good service If turned loose to go
among their people and tell them how diff
ferent the Americans are from the Span
iards.
