THE WILL OF A CHILD.

Some parents talk about "break-
ing child's will" What they
mean is to induce the child to give
up his way and follow theirs. A
child needs to be taught that it is
best for him to give up his way;
he needs to be accustomed to doing
it. When he sees that he is asked
to give up his way just because
the other person wants to show his
power, then he rebels. There are
bad children who refuse to submit
to authority, and who must be
made to follow another's way; but
he should feel that his good is the
end sought. We doubt very much
whether child can be made to be-

COMPULSORY EDUCATION IN THE
SOUTH.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION IN THE
SOUTH.
There are some people who
claim that compulsory education
would be an infringement on the
rights and privileges Of our peo-
pie.
True we are a free people and
are free to exercise our judgment;
but do we at all times exercise
proper judgment?
Others claim that it is detrimen-
tai to health. This can readily be
disproven. Isn't it more unheaIth-
full for a child to stay in the house
one day and come out to school
one day? Heis much more apt to
contract cold than if he came
every day and accustomed himself
to the air. AS it is now boy can
stay out one day and Craze the
COW or gather corn and pillow and
and come to school one day. Can
be be interested in his work COM
ing in this way9 And isn't it also
an injustice to the teacher? She
is given no credit if he doesn't do
good work, even if he is not at
school half his time.
If he is not at school to teach,
| how can a teacher do her duty by
him!
This is one evil that will be cor
rected when this law of compul-
sorry education is adopted in this
state.
There is no greater tyrant than
illiteracy. 1t makes men ''hewers
of wood and drawers of water. "
The state appropriates a sum for
the education of its children. If
you will notice, it is the parents
whose children need it most who
are the ones that take no earthly
advantage of it and why is it? Be
cause the children are not kept in
school. Then we can readily see
this compulsory education is not
of benefit to those who are deter
mined to educate their children,
but for those who are neglectful
of their duty.
There has been a great deal OF
interest manifested in South Caro-
lima in regard to this kind of law.
1t has already been enacted in thlr-
ty states, but these are all North
ern states.
The South has yet to realize the
great benefits that have been de-
rived from such law. If the
South is to take her place with
other states of this country as vel
as the countries of Europe, she
must have an equal degree OF
trained intelligence to apply to al
Industrial, commercial, literary
and religious questions.
1t is a remarkable fact that Of
all the foremost states and nations
of the world the Southern states
alone should be without compul
sorry education. Sentiment viii

try, matters not who possesses it

EDUCATION THE HOPE OF THE
SOUTH.
On education the hope of the
South must rest. Education is the
only means of elevating and broad
ening the individual type. Great
attention must be paid to this in
order that the best results may be
worked out with the unusually IA
vorable materials and resources at
hand. The constant elevating of
the individual through the process
of education is the only means by
which the best can be accomplish
ed. The aim of this education
must be to create broadness of
view and liberality of thought.
The South must broaden its base
along these lines. Men are needed
who will see the public good, and
who will stand for it and their con
victions. The broad view of such
questions can only be brought
about by education. The broad
ening of the individual and the
teaching of the principles of polit-
ical economy and municipal gov
eminent are the needs of the day.
This means also the broadening
and strengthening of character
that is, the production of men
the word being used in its best
sci So.

AUTHORITY.

1t is a great mistake to suppose
that what will make a child stare
or tremble impresses more author
ity. The violent emphasis, the
hard, stormy voice, the menacing
air, only weakens authority. is it
not we'll understood that bolster
Gus and violent teamster has no
real government Of his team!
Is it not practically seen that a
skillful commander of one OF those
huge floating cities moved by steam
in our American waters manages
and works every motion by the
waving of his hand, or by signs
that pass in silence, issuing no or
der at all save in the gentlest un-
dertone of voice?
So, when there is to be real
order in the schoolroom, it will
come of no hard and boisterous or
fretful and termagant way OF com
handing. Gentleness will speak
the'word Of firmness, and tirmness
will be clothed in that of true gen
tleness.

RELIEVE THE CRUSH.

The Chamber OF Commerce took timely ac-
ton yesterday urging the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and the Union Ferry companies to form
some traffic agreement which will relieve the
terrible bridge crush, whose dangers are again
forcibly brought to mind by the serious mis-
nap Of Wednesday evening. Apparently APP
peals for relief must be directed mainly to the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, and the pub
lic is not unreasonable in asking large conces-
sions from il 10 divert traffic from the bridge
terminal. Its success in securing practical
gift that great structure, which cost the city
millions Of dollars. is the chief cause OF the
present difficulty, and the chief obstacle 10 the
construction OF other lines OF communication.
unless they are likewise practical gifts to that
company. The carrying Of passengers over the
bridge and TO the outskirts of Brooklyn with
cut change and for one fare has stimulated
traffic and congested il. Probably the saving
IN money TO the travelling public has been

crowding. The old systems was not IDEAL but

tives, now lacking. TO the railroad managers TO
provide their own direct connections with Man.
haitian. Now the Brooklyn lines have a con-
nection at public expense, and IL the people
want less crowding and more seats the burden
rests upon them 10 build the bridges or tunnels
which the railroad people were planning to
build when they discovered the possibility of
getting them as gifts. They win not construct
new crossings for themselves and are i'm posl
tion to dictate terms for the use of those which
the city may construct having already one
crossing, which the people must use, no matter
how crowded, so long as adequate connections
over the trolley lines cannot be made by other
crossings.

THE CASE OF SHERIFF GUDEY.

When Charles Guden was nominated for
Sheriff of Kings County last fall the general
public had never heard Of him. and even the
newspapers found 1t difficult TO procure ma
terial for a sketch Of SO unexpected a candi-
date 1t would have been fortunate for Guden
If he had preserved his Obscurity, for IN the
blaze OF light which has surrounded him during
the last three days he is seen TO be just about
as despicable a person as chance or calculation
ever launched political career. The only
mitigating incident OF his examination before
the Governor on charges preferred in the hope
of his removal is his acknowledgment that he is
ashamed of the trickery in which he engaged
for the purpose of getting votes. Moreover
that doesn't amount 10 much, the admission
having been extorted rather than voluntary
There is no risk of doing the man injustice in
advance of the Governors decision, for on his
own testimony he is convicted of conduct TO
which no honorable person could possibly stoop
and of almost inconceivable folly besides 1t has
not been proved that he entered into an agree
ment by which Mr.. Dady was to dictate his ap-
pointments and receive the proceeds OF his office
above $4,000, but it has been proved that he
permitted the existence OF such an agreement
TO be asserted in quarters where he supposed it
would be useful to him. If he made the al
legged bargain he is liable to criminal prosecu-
ton. If he did not make it he consented that
a particularly Odous falsehood should be en-
ployed In his hearing for his benefit during the
campaign, and did not even attempt to clear
the record after the election. The story in
cludes other disreputable details, concerning
which it may be said that in admitting the truth

Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to ruin the
ferry business, drive the ferry company into
bankruptcy and acquire control Of this means
OF river crossing. il could hardly succeed in
making the ferries more useless than it does
now. Doubtless, a single fare for ferry and
trolley car is desirable. for it would be an ad-
dltional incentive to the diversion OF traffic
from the bridge At present the person who
wishes to his fellow men by refraining
from swelling the bridge crowd is financially

failure to provide proper connection with the

ably for cars going 10 their homes. or, what Is

much less to divert TO the ferries traffic which.

If the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company will
in a broad minded spirit respond to the appeal
of the Chamber of Commerce the present seri-
Gus situation may be for time somewhat
relieved. OF course the only lasting or
satisfactory relief is TO be found in new bridges
and tunnels. Commissioner Lindenthal's dec
laration that the superstructure of the present
bridge should be rebuilt. at an expense of sew
eral million dollars TO accommodate larger
put a tunnel alongside the bridge to accom-
pish the same purpose? That work could
begin without waiting for the completion of the
new East River bridge. and we should have
an entirely new line at less expense than would
be incurred in increasing the capacity of the
old by rebuilding. The tunnel terminals
could be near enough to the present bridge to
accommodate the same trolley lines and the
same public. and yet far enough away to divide
the crowds. In increasing transit facilities the
necessity OF dispensing instead of COngesting
crowds should be kept in mind. Probably the
street railway managers would not like tun-
mel II they used 1t. they would use 1t exclu-
sively and have TO pay accordingly and simi-
lar accommodations the bridge for a nominal
consideration are cheaper The wishes Of the
street railway managers. however. are no index
of what should he done for public purposes.
Their ends are not the public ends. nor are thNir
profits the public comfort and safety.
