IRELAND ON LAeoR UNIONS.

Tho address Of Archbishop Ireland
to the labor organizations Of ST. Paul
yesterday is the declaration Of a very
broad-minded man. and his opinions
comport with his high calling. His ad-
vice to labor shows him to be a friend
Of the toilers, because he has no dem
agogic appeal but only advice that the
laboring man must act inteIigently
and honestly IL he would conserve his
own interests.
The Archbishop declares that we
should not be afraid Of capital no mat
ter what form it may take. whether in
large personal accumulations OF in
trusts or syndicates. Capital widely
scattered may be Of temporary advan-
tage to the masses, but il is only
through great accumulations that vast
enterprises employing thousands can
be conducted.
The wage Garner. he declares, has
rights. rights to living wage. to rea-
sonable hours, and to something more
than a living wage If the business viii

and feels that much good can come
from wise and temperate action on the
part Of unions, but he says they can

Of the concluding paragraphs Of the adj

we have Witnessed the inspir-
OF the thousands OF boys and

in hand. huriying through the

5olroom at tho first tap Of the
,ell. 1t is an occasion great in import
ance. for it signifies that young Amer
ica is preparing TO take The place OF
the old.
II may be no time for wise saws.
but II the editor does not seize each
passing opportunity to employ his pen-
Gil. how shall he justify his existence
SO here goes for little education not
set forth in the curriculum, and IL is
free. too.
In the FIRST place. we want to ask
what do teachers and parents con-
template in the campaign that has just
opened? we imagine that II this ques-
ton were pressed the answers woulG
be somewhat vague and possibly con-
nicung. To the teacher g. is largely
mathematical question; so many
children to be prepared for am ad-
vanced grade in given time, requiring
a certain number Of lessons in the sub
jeots that are assigned. In most in-
stances it VIII be found that the par-
onts are in perfect accord with the
purposes Of the teachers. and. there
fore. it would seem that the system
ought to produce only excellent re-
suits.
But the problem doesn't always worl
out as nicely as we expect Parents
are ambitious TO keep their children a
the head of the class, and are Co
laborers with the teachers TO see tina
the study hours do not end with tn
school day. There is an arbirar'
standard by which the general intel
iectual ability of students is measured
that standard is the ability to pass ex
aminations and TO reach the prope
grade at the proper time.
But the elements that constitute
school are human. and the differenc
in ability and capacity is as great "A
the variety of faces which daily con
fronts the teacher. one child is lazy
although quick; another is dun but
plodder. That little girl with the tire'
look has a good mind and rare earnest
ness but she is too delicate TO stan,
the strain. There is boy who Learnt

has acquired with bull-dog tenacity
Here comes pupil TO the board wh'
has head for mathematics and The
visitors regard him as prodigy. bu'
SHOULD they wait TO hear his Becitation.
II Hsbiects they might be dis
lllusioned.
And so it goes on; each has his pc
culiarity and few are altogether hope
less. The teacher. perhaps fresh from
some course OF study. may proceed to
the work OF fashioning these children
into citizens by some patent system,

and no doubt she willreceive much help
from it; but If she possesses the true
qualities of teacher she viii recog-
nize that education must take into
account the factor Of temperament, and
that temperament is an individual mat
ter. In ahe press OF the work the
teacher is apt to make the recitation
the test and to let il go at that. but the
injunction: know thyself," has never
been followed by chidren; and It is
in the teachers province to teach them.
children that grow discouraged have
lost the battle and il is one OF the
teachers duties to prevent this They
win soon learn their limitations. but
may not know their possibilities.
The plodder may be made to feel
that persistency is the first element OF
success: the brilliant student may be
impressed with the importance of dill
gence. Those who are apt in one sub
iect must be taught the necessity OF
mastering others that are more diff
cult. and those who are frail must b'
comforied by the assurance thai
health is more important than edu-
cation. This Is a great task to impose
on the teacher we admit, but the
teacher should remember that he

EDITORIAL OPINION
General Mood.

From the Washington Post.
We have never been able to perceive
the wisdom of sending General Wood
to the Philippines unless it is intended
to place him in supreme control with
headquarters at Manila. Still less
clearly do we discern the wisdom OF
transferring officers who have achieved
the pacification of certain districts and
replacing them with persons who are
wholly ignorant of the conditions Gre
ated by their predecessors. There can
be no force in the argument--for exam
ple-that Captain Pershing's rank was
not high enough to warrant his as
signment to a position of such author
ity and responsibility. If he displayed
the tact, the courage and the force OF
character required TO harmonize the
Moros and to reconcile them to q
regime of order, surely he might have
been trusted to maintain the situation
he had created. And as for the rank
where could the administration have
found a more impressive warrant for
promotion TO tit the emergency than i'm
the illusttious record of General Wood
himself?
