power to bless you, a scGpular, or
any other image; and then YOU
pay the debt. Gail catholics know
what that word dept means;) that
is, price: or in other words, using
the scriptural. term, which they
call the attention of the applicant
to, is the word farthing. Hence,
whon the last farthing IS paid, the
applicant receives from the hand
Of the priest, two little pieces Of
WOODEN cloth, blessed by him,
which the applicant is to wear
over his sholdors as token Of the
ASSURANCE given him. from the
priest, that all his temporal pun
ishment ia RENTED
But we add again, that whoever
gains such It grant from tbs priest,
must first pay the last farthing.
Ones paid then the priest says
you will not have to endure any
temporal punishment in this life,
neither in the life to come. f par
tlal indulgence is, that which re-
mits only a part Of the punishment
yet by this kind of an indulgence,
this power Of popervism, places q
way in the reach Of the most pov-
erty stricken one, whereby he may
shorten his time of temporal pun
lshment in the prison house of pur.
gatory, that lies beyond the chan.
mel of death.
This is to say, that if a man is
not able to pay the full debt to the
priest, that has the power to bless
the scapular, and grant the indul-
sencss, then he can pay just such
portion as ha is able, and the rest
he have to suffer out in purga-
tory, for tho priest will grant ac-
cording to whatever he pays. That

where I began my career as a teacher,
the education of children was an impor
tant undertaking and the school system
was an excellent one. The Government
furnished textbooks to the children at
about one-fourth the cost of publication,
which was very reasonable and within
the reach of nearly every child.
Now, if the parents of the children
were too poor to pay this price books
were always furnished the pupils free
of charge. This text book system worked
perfectly and during the many years it
has been in operation there has been no
opposition whatever TO it.
In this State textbooks are supposed
to be sold to the pupils at reasonable
price, but really they cost entirely too
much, some of them 100 per cent more
than ordinary publications. Many pu-
pills, when they reach the higher grades,
are forced TO leave school, simply be-
cause the textbooks are so expensive
and are beyond their reach.
Il have known several Instances where
bright pupils were forced to leave high
school simply because their parents could
not afford to buy textbooks, which, in
the high school grades, are so expensive
as to be out of the reach of the poorer
class. Many a bright pupil has been
forced to leave high school for this rea-
son, when, if he continued with his
studies, he might have become a brilliant
man, instead Of an ordinary toiler with
out the polish Of a good education.

large and wealthy State like California
could not at least give the system

FREE BOOKS NOT WANTED.
Professor Edwards Wants Improve
ments. Not Charitable Distribution.


w. II. Edwards principal of the Crocker
Grammar School, made the following
statement: with reference to the ques-
ton of free textbooks, which seems to be
agitating educators, parents and legisla-
tors, L wish first to say that in my opin-
ion it is not so much a question of free
textbooks as it is d question of introduc-
ing good textbooks into the public schools
of this State. The miserable makeshifts
prepared by incompetent hands at so
much line is the poison of the educa-
tional system of California.
Now had we good textbooks. histories,
grammars, arithmetics, geogra phies, read
ers and spoilers, UP to date and logically
and truthfully arranged, l should even
then be opposed to the States furnishing
them free to pupils, for the reasons that
what a pupil gets gratis he prizes not
1t would annihilate the pride of ownership
and il would encourage the destruction
of the books furnished. The pupil would
have nothing to carry away memen-
to of his happy school days, nothing to
turn to as a reference for things forgot
ten. nothing to build upon for self-ad-
vancement and education.
''It would cause unhappy distinctions
and chickering's among the children. The
children of wealthy parents would insist
upon their right to purchase their own
new books in preference to taking those
which might have passed through yari-
Gus hands, bearing with them and on
them the shine and filth of age. The
poor would feel the humiliation and deg
radiation of being forced by poverty and
the law. to use books which their more
fortunate classmates could and would es-
cape.
THE expense to the State would be ap-
palling and would necessarily and surely
provoke the cry of too much expense
for school purposes and as usual the

Q ENAToR EMMoNS' bill
- introduced in the Legisla-
ture, providing for the free
provision to children Of text
books used in the public
schools, has met with q
unanimous opposition from
the prominent educators of
San Francisco, and such edu-
cational leaders as President
David Starr Jordan Of Stan
ford University and President
BENJAMIN Ide Wheeler of the
- University Of Californa have
Joined in the protest.
The objections against the
measure are widespread and
cover a multitude Of points.
Among them are that such a
system would be highly un-
sanitary; that II would create
class distinctions in the most
American institution the
country possesses; that it
would induce a belief that the
public schools, instead Of be-
ing a cooperative system, is
charitable institution, and
that it would absorb funds
that could be spent to a much
greater advantage by increas-
ing the salaries Of teachers.
According TO the gentle
men interviewed the need is
not for free textbooks, which
they consider would be a det-
riment. but for better ones
from which the children can
absorb correct knowledge, in
stead Of the antiouated vol
umes that now form the cur
riculum Of the public schools.
