INVESTIGATING AMERICAN SCHOOLS.

The Mosely industrial commission
Ihich visited America some months
Ago to investigate the secret OF me
prosperity and efficient methods OF
American working1nen is to be fot-
lowed by similar commission TO IN
ypect and study our educational sys-
tenn and make a detailed report upon
Its advantages over that of Great Brit
hin. This commission will comprise
teachers. members of school boards,
university professors, mayors ana
members Of municipal corporations
slergymen. lawyers and business men.
II Is its intention to thoroughly lnves-
hgate American methods of teaehlhg'
Ind visit schools of all grades from on
roast to the other Its visit is high
compliment to our educational institu-
Mons as suggestive of their superiority
,yer those of the mother country. Peo-
bic do not attempt to pick figs OF
missiles nor seek knowledge of their in
errors.
The greater English universities ana
colleges Will derive less benefit from
ME report Of the commission than the
sommon schools. The British work
nsnlan, ana especially of the lower
ra,ks OF labor, is notoriously i'll edu-
,ated compared with similar classes IN
america or the northern part OF the
European continent. 1t is likely that
The new Nfosely commission will be
Ible to suggest many valuable changes
and reforms to British school men
based upon its observation of our or
binary public schools.
After all it is the desire for knowi-
edge more than any particular educa-
tional system that makes educated
people common One of the greatest
discoveries to be made by the British
investigators is that ignorance in this
country is considered disgraceful and
next door to criminal. The boy who
fails to attend school in this country is
an object OF contempt among his fell
lows and his parents subjects of sharp
criticism by the community in which
they live, unless as the victim Of cir
cumstances their case is one for pity.
Comparatively few of cur great men
have come out of our universities.
There is long record of parental self
sacrifice and individual struggle for an
education In the biography of most of
our public men who may with proprie-
ty be termed successful. 1t is the de-
sire and the general sentiment in ia
vor of education that Is responsible for
its diffusion. If the Moseiy commits
sion may carry back to the British
working classes this characteristic of
the American people its time will have
been valuabsy employed here.

REVISION. NOT REPEAL, NEEDED.

There is a difference between the
superintendents of the usylums at In
dependence and Mount Pleasant. Su-
perintendent Crumbacker, of the indie
pendenee hospital, doubts that good re-
suits may be obtained by further
expenditure of money and trouble by
the state in the treatment of dipso-
maniacs. Superintendent Apologize
looks upon the law las step toward
the suppression of the disease and the
evils arising from the excessive use OF
stimulants and narcotics
Superintendent Apologize Is right.
His experience has been exasperating
and his hands have been tied by made
quate facilities and power. OF the 2S2
ine,briates committed to his care 1SS
ESCAPED. and of these 15o were allowed
to remain at large; but of the rem
nant who remained willingly or were
forced to remain until the fun treat
ment had been applied fifty-four are
cent lives as respectable citizens. This
would Indicate that there Is nothing
the matter with the idea of forced
treatment for inebriates or with Super
intendent Apologize. His report does
himself credit as a painstaking. sincere
official, who has made the most of his
opportunities and apparently clinches
the fact that large percentage OF
drunkards may be reclaimed II they
NAV be induced or forced to receive the
full treatment. The trouble is not with
Superintendent Apologize or with the
idea. The. law needs revision in some
respects and lacks enforcement. The
NAUGHTY of results Is not attributable to
but to the careless Indifference with
which It has been treated. OF 2S2 OF
the quasi prisoners at Mount Pleas
ant there were 1873 who escaped, and
Of these but thirty-sfx were returned
Some of those who were sent back
3
broke away again and the careless Of
GERS of the counties and municipalities
to which they returned w.nked at their
presence on the streets and in the sa-
looms. Had Sc per cent of the insane
patients escaped the state would have
been in an uproar
There should be no step backward
taken upon the matter of state treat
ment for inebriates. Instead the ex-
perience of the few months tria
should be formulated into such revis-
ion of the present law as appears prac-
ticable, and the experiment should 81
on. A severe and adequate penalt,
should attach to flight or attempted es-
cape. There should be less difference
between breaking out OF the dipso-
maniac ward and Jail delivery. u

A BAD STORY.

IOskaloosa Times Journall
A melancholy story came to us the
other night--a story which we would
not mention but for the lesson contain
ed. 1t was .old us on perfectly cred
ible authority that two young girls
who went to Centerville on the ex-
curson Monday, returned home intox-
icated. Our informant stated that
the drinking was not done on the cars
but that these girls fell in with fast
crowd at Centerville. We did not ask
their names for we did not wish 10
know them. That such an event hap
pened was enough, and we should be
sorry to knew the particular lndlVid-
uals who were concerned. The lesson
remains the same. Mothers of Oska-
loosa. watch over your sixteen year old
daughters. Al excursion is no place for
them unless under your own eye or
that of a reliable chaperon.
We whose youth lies quarter OF a
century back can scarcely realize the
temptations offered a girl of today.
The offer of glass OF intoxicants TO
rs would have been a deadly Insult,
hut there is laxity in the moral air now
that condones most anything. In the
east ii is said drinking is common with
society women. and the habit seems to
be creeping westward.
The one way to prevent such deHor-
alization is for each mother to look
out for her own.
You are responsible for your daugh-
tiers and sons, and society holds you
so. There is no excuse in the old say
ing you are young but once any more
than there is in any true happiness In
dissipation The child who is trained to
sense of responsibility toward God
and man, to whom is shown the higher
ideals of life for imitation, will avoid
such pitfalls of themselves. But II
is a mothers duty to keep them from
such dangers even at the expense OF
disannointment to herself and them.

Opposing factions that money was UNI
lawfully used to secure votes for the
different candidates.
Once more. Only sesw weeks ago
in senatorial convention. in which
one county was entitled to thirteen
votes and the other to eleven, when
the votes were counted the candidate
OF the county only having eleven votes
was nominated. This because the
chairman, secretary and tellers of the
convention announced that they FOUND
a majority of votes cast for him. What
made this result more surprising was
that the delegates OF the defeated can
didate have since made individual
sworn affidavits that they voted for the
defeated candidate. AMI these votes
we're enough in number to nominate
him.
And once more. In northern Iowa
only recently convention was neld TO
nominate a representative for the leg
islature. One county held its conven-
ton to elect delegates q the conven-
ton of counties to nominate repre-
sentative for the counties in the DIS
trict. They selected the legal number
and by resolution empowered the dele
gates present at the coming conven-
tton ia cast the whole number of dele
gates votes they were entitled to. Now
f. so ha,npened that some of these dele
gates. feeling secure that If only one
of their number was present he coulo
protect their interests, failed to attend.
This condition of affairs being evident
when the convention was called TO or
der. the majority favoring another can
iidate proceeded to ballot and would
only count the votes OF those present,
which of course nominated their cam
| didate. So much for the bill OF par
! ticulars in the foremensl Toned cases
| And what of it? Does the party in
whose name these transactions took
place feel disgraced? Hardly. Are we
lreading these days In the press OF Iowa
| any general condemnation of the pro-
| ceadings? No. Are these members OF
these conventions and actors In the
primaries under any social or political
| han? No. Is it not true, on the con-
| trarv. that the majority of our citizens,

business as sharp practice and stif1e

90 away from home? We don't nave to
go out of Iowa. In all of these mentioned
cases of sharp practice in Iowa some
body lied, somebody stole, somebody
committed perjury, and in every one
of them that little word of i've letters
called .'honor' was absent. one can
claim all this and not be prude ana
sentimentalist. And nins-tenths of the
readers of these words will agree with
the writer And the same number Will
/ also agree that no such disregard OF the
common principles of honesty can or
does exist outside of political circles.
