Child study.

The time at which n child should be-
gin to study is n vexed question of cd
alton, and one which shows no signs
of being settled. The superintendent
of the Quincy (Mass) schools raised
the question few days since and as,
serted that a child should not be sent
to school until it was seven. Other
educators, however, do not agree with
him. President Eliot Of Harvard
thinks the little girl or boy should en-
ter the kindergarten at four, and the
superintendent OF the Boston schools,
Edwin l.. Seaver, suggests five as n
suitable age at which to begin the
school life, The superintendent of the
Cambridge schools, Frank Cogswell,
thinks that even three is not too early
for the kindergarten.

surplus, It now seems likely that n
substantial equality Of revenue and
expenditure will be attained. Such be-
ing the case, 1t is Of great moment both
to exercise care and economy in ap-
preparations and TO scan sharply any
change in our fiscal revenue system
which may reduce our income. The
need OF strict economy in our expend-
itures is emphasized by the fact that
we cannot afford to be parsimonious in
providing for what is essential to our
national well being.

Preservation of Forests.
The work of reclamation OF the arid
lands of the west is progressing steadily
and satisfactorily under the terms of
the law setting aside the proceeds
from the disposal of public lands.
The study OF the opportunities OF
reclamation of the vast extent OF arid
land shows that whether this reclama-
ton Is done by individuals. corpora
tions or the state, the sources of water
supply must be effectively protected
and the reservoirs guarded by the pres
ervation of the forests at the head
waters of the streams. The necessity
for perpetuatlng our forest resources,
whether In public or private hands, Is
recognized now as never before. 1t Is
recommended that all matters pertain
ing TO forest reserves, except those in
volving or pertaining TO land titles, be
consolidated In the bureau OF forestry
of the department of agriculture.

ing, the veterans of the civil war. Spe'
cinl attention Is asked TO the excellent
work OF the pension bureau in eXpedit'
ing and disposing of pension claims
During the fiscal year ending July l.
1908. the bureau settled 251,0S2 claims
an average Of S25 claims for each
working day of the year. The number
of settlements since July |, 1908, has
been in excess of last years average
approaching 1000 claims for eacl
working day, and II is believed tha
the work of the bureau will be curren
at the close OF the present fiscal year.

territory across which the route lay,
not 10 the name which for the moment
tine territory bore ON the map. The
purpose of the law was TO authorize
the president To make treaty with the
power In actual control of the isthmus
of Panama. This purpose has been
fulfilled.
For 400 years, ever since shortly after
the discovery of this hemisphere, the
canal across the isthmus has been
planned. For twoscore years ii has
been worked at When made it is TO
last for the ages. II is TO alter the
geography OF continent and the trade
routes of the world. We have shown
by every treaty we have negotiated or
attempted TO negotiate with the peo-
Piles in control OF the isthmus and with
foreign nations In reference thereto our
consistent good faith in observing our
obligations, ON the one hand TO the peo-
Piles OF the isthmus and on the other
hand TO the civilized world, whose com
mercial rights we are safeguarding and
guaranteeing by our action. We have
done our duty TO others I'M letter and in

forbearance in exacting our own rights.

Last spring n treaty concluded be

treaty was entered into at the urgent
solicitation OF the people Of Colombia
and after body Of experts appointed
by our government especially to go into
the matter OF the routes across the
isthmus had pronounced unanimously
in favor Of the Panama route. In draw
ing up this treaty every concession was
made to the people and TO the govern
ment of Colombia. We were more
than Just in dealing with them. 0uI
| generosity was such as TO make II d
| serious question whether we had no
gone too far in their interest at the ex
pense OF our own, for in our scrupulou'
desire TO pay all possible heed no
merely 10 the real but even to th'
fancied rights Of our weaker neighbor
who already owed so much to our pro
lection and forbearance we yielded II
all possible ways 10 her desires II
drawing up the treaty. Nevertheless
the government Of Colombia not mere
ly repudlated the treaty, but repudl
ated 1t In such manner as to make |
gress adjourned that not the scantles
hope remained OF ever getting a salts
factory treaty from them.
