pROGRkAS IN ENGLAND.

Many people in England, and some
out of England, think it about time that
that country should have a comprehen-
sive system of public schools. Among
those who think so is the House of
Commons, which has just passed the
Education bill by a vote of 246 to 1913.
There have been board schools" in
certain localities in England and frag-
ments of a system Of primary schools,
but the new act when perfected will
bring into existence a complete system
of improved public schools, primary
and secondary, all over England, so
that hereafter every child will have
chance to get a good education. BY
the terms of the bill the existing pri-
vate schools are to be taken into the
public school system, and in considera-
ton of the public use of their buildings
their private managers are still to have
religious instruction. Where private
schools do not exist, or where they are
insufficient in number or accommoda-
tions, public schools, primary and sec
ondary, are to be set up All are to be
supported by local taxes, supplemented
by grants of money from the national
treasury. There is to be local control,
which will be absolute in the case Of
the purely public schools but partial
only in the case of the private schools
which have their own buildings and
funds. Above all will be the Education
Bureau at London, which will see that
the local public authorities and the To-
cal private school managers do not ex-
coed their legal rights.
England has been far behind the
times in this matter, though it must
be confessed that English schools have
turned out many pretty good men,
Now perhaps all the Englishmen will
know as much as the people of the
United States and Germany who go
through the public schools do.

Can honor's voice provoke the silent
dust?" No. but what is called honor
can. and sometimes does. make silent
dust out Of men. 1t is pleasing to notice
that honor hasn't turned either DR.. F.
c. Wilson or John Sullivan schley of
Savannah, Georgia, into silent dust. Al
one time there was an unpleasant pos
sibili,y that it might. for those gentle
men did things to each other that
seemed to demand satisfaction But
court of honor sat on their cases
and also sat on them TO the extent OF
making it unnecessary for them to fight
duel. The court found that Dr. Will
son acted within his right when he
! characterized the conduct of Mr.. Schley
and certain others when in the lobby of
! the Charleston Hotel as undignified;
that Mr.. Schley was not justified he
! cause Of this remark in telling DR.. Will
son to seek another hotel; that this last
remark did not justify DR.. Wilson in
slapping Mr.. schley's face with folded
newspaper. The court concluded that
Mr.. Schley should withdraw his chal-
lenge to which no reply had been made,
and that DR.. Wilson should then apollo
gize for the blow he struck. Mr..
schley consented to withdraw his chal-
lenge and DR.. Wilson to apologize.
So all is right as right can be. and
blood is running in veins instead of out
of them. 1t is a fine unfolding of
dangerous complication.

leadership which make him q conspic-
uous statesman.
I should be glad to have Mr.. Roose-
Welt live to be hundred years old, or
even to be old as Methuselah. But in
this age we must measure mems lives
not by their years. but by what they
accomplish. l have never heard that
Methuselah accomplished anything
more than a clock which ran as long.
He was a kind of living chronometer.
Measured by events and experiences,
Mr.. Roosevelt has probably lived more
than 5000 such years as that Of the He
brew patriarch.
Gloriously refreshing is it to me to
find a public man giving himself with
absolute freedom and devotion to his
country's service, and seeking to lead
and mould the great factors of public
opinion.
Mr.. Roosevelt may rot have been
built to run a hundred years, but am
not sure. For sixty years Of his life
Edward Everett Hale has done the
work of five men, and he is still living
| in spite of all predictions to the con-
! trary. Actually, he is eighty years old
Effectively, he is 800, and who is
] younger in heart? DR.. Hale is a SPLEEN
did illustration of the fact that hard
work in conducive to longevity, when a
man looks out, not in, forward and not
! backward, and lends a hand to the age
! that needs his abundant life. Who
/ knows but President Roosevelt, like
Edward Everett Hale, may find his life
by losing it, and most of all because

abundantIy?-Rev. S. ]. Barrows ir

HAS TO BE STRENUOUS.
And Perhaps 1t May Not Shorten His
Life O Bit.

And Perhaps 1t May Not Shorten His
Life @ Bit
Mr.. Roosevelt occupies a position
which requires the expenditure of an
enormous amount of energy in limit
ed time. To be president of the United
States a man must do in a year what
Governor Wouter van Twiller could not
have done in twenty. In a single pres
idential campaign Mr.. Roosevelt made
more speeches than Cicero made in q
lifetime, and they were speeches not
for posterity, but for the hour. 1t Would
have been of no use to ask the presi-
dent to string out these speeches over
twenty years. Half of his audience
would have been dead and the issues
would have been dead also. It may be
a question whether 1t is the duty Of
the president of the United States to
lead and make public sentiment, or
simply to interpret and execute it.
Different presidents have commanded
public respect by taking different
views of their duty in this matter. But
it seems to me notable and worthy
ambition for a president to seek to
guide and lead and educate the public
opinion which is necessary to support
his policy. In Switzerland where the
president is elected by the council and
holds office for but one year, the situa-
ton Is different A president elected
by the people has right to appeal to
the people, as a general has right to
appeal to his soldiers.
Mr.. Roosevelt is, Of all presidents,
the man who has shown the most
earnest determination to develop. and
sustain in a high degree Of physical
vigor His good health is not merely
the result of inheritance. 1t is the re-
suit of systematic and persistent eff
fort. I should say that the president
of the United States sets forth a splen-
did example to the youth of the coun-
try when he shows them what can be
done by sound and vigorous mind
When supported by magnificent health.
When [ think of the young men OF for
tune and endowment who are wasting
their substance in riotous living and
making sensuous pleasure their su-
preme end Of life, there is something
inspiring in Roosevelt's generous and
complete devotion to public service.
Nor can I think that the president of
the United States is under any obiga-
ton to live 100 years if it is necessary
for him in the exigencies Of his posi-
ton and under his conception of per-
sonal and public duty to finish his life
sooner. There is no likelihood that the
next generation will need Mr.. Roose-
welt more than he is needed to-day.
Why should any man parsimoniously
hoard his strength for a possible old
age and some possible future duties
when his whole strength is needed in
the life of to-day? What is there in
patriotism or religion which requires
a man to save his life when he ought to
ge willing to lose it? When Colonel
Roosevelt led the charge on San Juan
Hill, it was certainly at great risk to
his health. Some will say that the ex-
posture was reckless, but it was the
disposition to lead rather than to fol-
low which made him courageous SOL
der and helped to win the battle and
it is the same qualities of courage and

that this would amount to no less a
sum than s5l. 900 francs, which he
would raise by treasury bonds repaya-
bic by seyenty-five annual instruments.
He evidently believes that. in spite Of
this enormous indemnity, the public
would make a good bargain, and this is
an indication of the burden which the
fees impose: They are obligatory for
the sale or purchase Of land or houses,
for marriage contracts. the probate Of
wtlls-in short, for everything requiring
legal certificate. Business transac-
tions are frequently abandoned on ac-
count of the heavy charges.

which is certain to provoke the liveliest

that notaries, process servers and reg

4 PROPER PROTEST.

Rabbi Samuel Hirshberg of Boston is
good citizen and a man of sense. The
Public School Association of Boston
has made an appeal for votes for one
of its candidates for the school COM
mittee on the ground that he is Jew.
Rabbi Hirshberg doesn't think well of
this performance, and he has written
letter protesting against it. even if it
is in the assumed interest of the Jewish
population of Boston. In his letter he
says this: For the enlightenment of
the P. S. A. 1 wish to say that the
! Jews have no distinct interests, issues
or policies on any question of public
import; that they resent being singled
out from the general body polite as
wishing or seeking representation of
| their own; that they do not vote as
Jews, but as citizens, and that the
fact that a candidate Is of their own
faith has no influence with them in the
casting of their ballot; that they are
guided just as much as are other voters
| by considerations of principles and
measures involved and the proved abil-
ity and worth of the nominees on any
ticket, and just as little, and no more,
by prejudices and prepossessions of
r,ha Te1yar no r+ica,, hind
That is the right attitude for people
of any sect in this country. Rabbi
Hirshberg has said the right thing at
the right time.

There IS queer political situation
in Kansas City. One reason why the
Republican party in Kansas City fails
to carry elections is, in the opinion of
the Kansas City Journal, that it has
too many Republican clubs. The Jour-
nal names two principal clubs of the
city and adds that besides these there
are numerous ward and colored clubs.
Over-organiation has proved harmful,
since "the preliminary work and eff
forts in recent campaigns have been
devoted to settling, adjusting or COM
promising the claims and differences of
these rival and contending organiza-
TONS" It's advice to the Republicans
is to stop founding clubs.
