ERRORS or HISTORY.

Shall we ever have an accurate and
reliable history? There have probably
been complaints against history ever
since it began to be written. Plutarch
bewaiied the difficulty of tracing and
finding out the truth of anything by
history Sir Robert Walpole expressed
a preference for anything but his
tory, for history must be false" The
cynical Napoleon gave it as his op4n-
ion that history is a lie well stuck to.
These are pessimistic expressions.
nevertheless there is truth enough
about each to give it pungency. If
proof were lacking, we would have II
Immediately at hand in practically all
of the school histories in use at t9e
present time. Numerous and spirited
protests have from time to time been
made by the South against the mac
curacies and injustces contained in
the histories of the war between the
states employed in the public scho0s.
Most if not all of them were written
by prejudiced persons who, however
faithfully they may have endeavored
to preserve the facts, have permitted
their biased opinions to find express
sion in the pages of their works. In
some instances, indeed, efforts were
made. while recording the facts, to
pervert them, to the injury of a great
geographical section of the country.
It transpires, however, that not only
has the South reason to protest
against many of the school histories,
but the North also has complaint to
make. Gen. H. V. Boynton, president
of the school board of Washington, D.
c., recently made a report to the
board in which he pointed out in de-
tail inaccuracies relating to the
war between the states contained in
ten school histories that are being
largely used as the basis upon which
school children's knowledge of the his
tory of their country is being built. So
numerous are the errors in these
books, as detected by Gen, Boynton,
that it takes nearly four newspaper
columns of condensed para graphs in
very small type to contain them. 1t
would require about six columns of
the Morning News to reproduce them.
And these inaccuracies occur in vol
umes written from the Northern point
of view, by authors who were North
ern men catering to Northern sent
ment. If, under such circumstances,
Gen. Boynton, who was an officer OF
the federal army, finds so many mac
curacies in the school histories, is 1t
to be wondered at that the South finds
fault and protests when its side of the
story is enormously set down by the
so-called historians?

The EngIishman Scored.

The never-ending discussion as to
the superiority Of England over Amer

The argument waXed hot and strong.
Brown would not give in on a single
point Particularly did he insist that
nothing American was appreciated in
England, till at last Jonathan corner
ed him.

said did you have any of our beef %
Il did," said Brown; and pretty
good it was"
There you are; you admit it is
good" was the reply; but, do you
know, we send hundreds Of thousands
of tons of that beef to England every
year, and your people buy it! There,
l guess that's cooked your goose,
stranger!"
Old Brown was silent for time, and
just as Jonathan was about to tri-
umphantly start another subject, he
looked up and said quickly:
We'll, we'll, that's all right so far as
it goes, English people buy your beet
exactly. But they don't eat it, sir!
No; they do not. They just make it
into solid leather bags and trunks, and

The Morning News has been a per-
sistent and consistent advocate of To-
cal taxation for school purposes, in
aid of the state school fund. Direct
local taxation will make patrons take
more interest in the schools, and re-
dound to the benefit of education in
a number of ways. In Georgia We
fiatter ourselves that we are doing
quite well for the cause of popular ed
ucation. and. in consideration of our
resources, we are, indeed making
creditable showing. But when it is
considered that the state of Indiana,
with a population about the same as
that of Georgia, is paying out for pub
lie schools about 81 for every 81 we
spend, it can be seen that we have yet
much to accomplish. Indiana is
richer state than Georgia, and a much
larger percentage of its population are
taxpayers We have, indeed, probably
little more than half as many taxpay-
ers, the majority of our blacks being
floaters and non-contributors to the
expense Of government and schools.
And yet, by the system of local taxa
ton, we could probably do consider
ably more for the public schools than
we have done heretofore.
In recent publication, the Southern
Educational Board sets a standard
which it thinks the South should try
to achieve in it's schools. The average
school term, it says, should not be
less than eight months. The attendance
should be not less than 20 per cent.
of the school population. There should
be at least one teacher for each forty
children. The pay of teachers should
average $40 per month. Frst-class
South, for less salary than that, and
the best demand a great deal more.
This seems to be a conservative estl-
mate, all the way around. And yet
on the basis of that estimate, Geor-
gia's public schools would cost $780,
900 per annum. South Cardinals would
cost 100000 and Florida's $1,500OOO.
Indiana, which, as we have said, has
about the population of Georgia, ex-
ponds for public schools more than
$4,000. 900 a year.
The Southern states are not now in
a position to raise such sums for their
schools But they might Improve the
situation by providing that counties
and municipalities shall levy a special,
local tax for school purposes. There are
some seven or eight counties in Geor-
gia which now do this, and they enjoy
the advantages of excellent schools.

The Providence Journal tells a little
tale about the prosecution of William
F. Blake for assault upon one Meier
nan. 1t is true story, but is good
enough to be fiction,
Mr. McTernan had detailed at some
length how he had gone into the sa-
loon at No. S35 Westminster street, at
the request of Mrs. Margaret Colbert
on the evening of Feb. %; how he had
been attacked, as he alleged, by Will
liam F. Blake, and had had a quartet
of teeth completely dislodged by a
blow from the defendants fist; how
he had then been kicked in the side
thrice, and how he had borne it all
without lifting his hands to defend
himself. On the face of it up to that
point the narrative sounded like one
of aggravated assault.
Then Harry p. Cross took the wit
ness in hand to cross-examne him.

The Monroe doctrine doesn't say any,
thing about the United States Interior
ing when one American government en-
deavors to take territory from another
American government, therefore this
country cannot take any active part in
the controversy between Brazil ana
Bolivia with respect to the territory of
Acre. The misunderstanding has ex-
tended over some years and has been
discussed in the public prints a num-
Der of times. In a nutshell Brazil
claims that certain territory, known as
the province of Acre, and over which
Bolivia has been exercising authority
is in reality Brazilian territory. The
question became acute when the gov
eminent of Bolivia granted franchises
to certain English and American capt.
talists to exploit the rubber forests of
Acre. Brazil denied that Bolivia had
the right to grant these franchises. 1t
was proposed that the dispute be arbi-
trated and after much discussion it
was agreed to refer the matter to the
Hague Tribunal. AS a provisional
measure, however, Brazil demanded
that her troops occupy an area of Acre
territory amounting to about $4,000
square miles, or a little more than one
third of the province. This Bolivia,
being the weaker. was compelled TO ac-
cede to pending the arbitration.
According to recent advices, II APP
pears that Brazil has now increased
her demand with respect to the occu-
patton of territory and says she pur-
poses to occupy the whole of Acre, an
area of some 10000 square miles. with
her troops. Meanwhile Brazil proposes
to pay the English and American capt.
talists to whom the Bolivian franchises
were granted an indemnity of some
thing like 81, 100000, whereupon they are
to get out and stay out. This offer has
not been accepted. Meanwhile Bolivia
has appealed to the United States gov
eminent to use it's good offices to hold
Brazil out of the two-thirds of Acre
territory which she now intends to in
wade. Unless Brazil can be persuaded
against her purposes in that direction,
Bolivia feels that she will be compelled
to resort to arms to sustain her posi-
ton. She doesn't wish to be forced to
that extremity, because she is well
aware what it would mean for her-de-
feat in the long run, the loss of many
lives and much treasure and the an
nexation by Brazil of more Bolivian ter
ritory. But, while he is the guardian of
his neighbors against foreign foes, I'm

neighbors except advise them to keep
the peace. If it is Brazirs purpose to
