under the conditions of this free and
vigorous life among our own kindred
must have lessons for us. If the future
of the world is with the English-speak-
| ing races, what is to be their training
for it?
Strictly, there is in the United States
no one national system of education
America is confederation of self gov
erning states, each retaining all the
prerogatives and powers Of sovereign
state that are not expressly relegated
to the federal government by the terms
of the constitution. Among the public
interests that belong exclusively to the
separate states is that of education
There is, indeed, Bureau of Educa-
ton at Washington, which collects sta
tistics and makes reports, and exercises
great moral weight: but it has no statu-
tory authority to establish, inspect or
subsidize schools, nor does it in any
sense correspond to European Board
|or Department of Public instruction.
Each state devises and regulates its
own system, and there is no uniformity
of either methods or machinery. But,
under all this diversity, there is an
essential unity of belief in democratic
education, of desire to make it genera
lily accessible, and of determination to
keep up its quality. Hence, says Sir
Joshua Fitch. America may be re
garded as laboratory in which educa-
tional experiments are being tried on
great scale, under conditions excep-
tionaily favorable to the encouragement
of inventiveness and fresh enthusiasm.
and to the discovery of new methods
/ and new truths"
The first grand condition which ma
kes eli this life and movement possible
is popular enthusiasm, the belief of the
democracy in its schools and of the
schools in the democracy. In that lies
driving power which is as yet want
ing in England, aud is less effective,
probably, in countries where education
al improvement has always come from
a central government. In Germany,
for example, the masses of the people
have little to do with educational pol
icy; in America nearly all, education
rests on popular control. Administra-
tive order in the one country, free dis
cussion in the other. determines edit
cational progress, The mere statement
of this difference is enough to show
that we, in our educational difficulties
may have more to learn across the At
lantic than on the continent of Europe
for educational progress in England al
ready is, and will be more and more,
in the direction of popular control.

An|eIIC0l Education.

Editorial Article in the London
Times
In education, as in other departments
of human life, America is the land of
experiment, of enterprise, and of pro-
gress untrammel1ed by past traditions.
Her people. are keenly alive to the
value of education; her wealthy men
are forward in promoting it to degree
which puts ours to shame; improve
ments are effected, and experiments
tried, with a rapidity and decision
that take away the breath of those ac-
customed, as we are in England, to long
hesitation about changes, and reluctant
departure from traditional methods
Within the past twenty-five years there
has been movement in the United
States toward intellectual and educa-
tional independence, no longer trusting
to ideas and systems borrowed from the
old world, but striking out new concep-
tions of an education that shall fit the
conditions of American life and harmo-
nize with the ideals of American citi-
zenship.
All this gives great interest to the
study OF their institutions; and our own
Board Of Education, whose series of
special reports upon the educational
features of this and other countries has
done much to open the eyes of English
men, now provides facilities hitherto
inaccessible on this side Of the Atlantic
for such study, by the addition of two
new volumes of reports upon American
education. The interest and import
ance of the study are suggestively
brought out in an Introductory chapter
by Sir Joshua Fitcn, from which, as also
from paper in the second of the two
volumes by Mr.. M. E. Sadler, on the
contrast between German and Amer
ican ideals in education, no one can rise
without feeling that his ideas, have been
enlarged, and that there are more
things than have been hitherto dreamed
of in the somewhat narrow philosophy
of English educational science. On the
= North American continent, Sir Joshua
reminds us, there will before long be
100000 of English speaking people
nurtured on our history and cur litera-
ture, yet emancipated from feudal and
aristocratic influences, and free to deve-
lop new forms of excellence. And,
though it be true, as Mr.. Sadler points
out that national system of education
is the outcome of national history, and
that what suits one people may not suit
another, the development of education

FIGHTING WHISKY.
Drastic Measures Against
Illicit Sales.

Macon, Mo-, July "A. The
Antisaloon League of Missouri is
resOrting to drastic measures in
this part of the State to suppress
the liquor traffic. There is not a
saloon in all Shelby County, but
there are drug stores. For the
past two weeks Il representative of
the league, preacher, has been in
the country. Yesterday the clerical
gentlemen handed the prosecutor
what would have made in bulk
three gallons of whisky. 1t was
labeled Clarence, Shelbina, Bethel
and Shelbyville," meaning it was
obtained at those towns. The
present was not such as one Ken
lucky Colonel might give to an
other; it was for other purposes.
The Rev detective said he
would 'ppcm in court with the
bottle and go into details whenever
the attorney should elect. In his
journey westward the temperance
crusader will next strike Macon.
The man who will be asked to rep
resent legally the league here is
Ben +. White, Prosecuting Attor-
ney. Mr.. White said this morn
ing:
"The temperance detective has
not been to see me yet, and | don {
like to cross the bridge before |
get to it. But it reminds me.
Six or eight years ago Rev. Mr..
Guffy of Ardmorc, Macon County,
started personal crusade against
the alleged dives in this town He
came up here with Il bushcl barkct
of half pint TASKS of whisky, that
he had purchased from those who
had no legal right to sell them.
Each flask had Il label, on which
was written, with infinite detail,
all the circ umstances of its pur-
chase. In nearly every case he
had one or more coroborate wit
nesses. The evidence was inprcg-
nable, but the jury acquitted in
every instance because the ordi-
nary man don't approve of subter-
fuge in ferreting out crime. It's
the universal rule that a jury will
resent evidence of this sort"

FRENZIED WOMAN.
Murders Her Children
Whisky the Cause.

New York, July 2G. Mrs. Mary
Meade, the wife of Richard Meade,
Il night Waterman employed by the
Adams Express Co., strangled two
of her children to death and nearly
killed third while in an insane
frenzy this morning. Returning
to his home at lOl Emerson pl.,
Brooklyn, from work this morning
at 9 o'clock, Meade found his wife
stretched out on the floor, appar-
emily in stupor from liquor, and
his baby, Many, lying struggling
near by with strip torn from Il
blanket wound tightly about her
little neck. She was conscious,
but could not have lived much lon
ger.
Walking into the bedroom, the
father found Alice, 81 years old,
Johanna, ,, lying dead upon the
bed. About the neck of each were
wound strips of the torn blanket
Death was due to strangulation
The faces of the children were
black and distorted and the insane
mother had evidently killed them
during the night, for their bodies
were cold.
Mrs. Meade had been drinking
heavily of late, her husband says,
and it was while frcnzied from the
effect of liquor that she committed
the terrible deed.
