which are not affiliated with the Estab- lished church. and are generally de- scribed as NOn-Conformists. The Non Conformists object vehemently to the maintenance of denominational schools at the expense of taxpayers. They de- nOunce what they characterize as the imposition ot religious test on teach CTS; for they assume that no teacher will be employed in a Church of England voluntary school who is not mem Der of the Established Church. Finally, they propose to emphasize their opposi- tfon to the governments educational policy by plan of passive resistance" They say that they will refuse to pay taxes for the support of denominational schools and will go to prison rather than do violence to their consciences.
 The purpose of the new law, as ex- plained by it's defenders, is to secure uniformity in education and to increase the efficiency of the schools. Under the old system there were two classes of schools in England-one, the ''volun- tary," which was supported by the Es- tablished Church and other religious de- 1 nominations, including Non-Conform- ists: the other. board schools" main tained by the taxpayers. Of the ''volun- l tary schools the majority were con- ducted by the Church of England Un- der the new Education act the money which the British government devotes to educational purposes will be shared by the voluntary schools" The relig- ious training in these schools will be in the future what it has been in the past. In the schools conducted under the management of the Established Church
 will be taught In the -Confornist schools the religious training will be in
 harmony with the teachings of the Non- -Conformist sects. Direct public au-
 thority over the board schools" is abolished, and there will be no popular representation in the management of
 these institutions.
 The situation seems to be such as to give promise of lively times. A dispute
 which involves education. religion and
 taxation can become interesting.

MICHIGAN STICKS IN THE MUD.

The men of Michigan are so far be- hind the times that it will not be sur prising to see the more alert women of Michigan step to the front. They will have to if they want to go stepping around the roads in the spring. The bill for starting good roads reform in Michigan failed in the legislature. It didn't fail for lack of the need of re- form. It is less than month since the majority of the roads of lower Michigan were impossible. Residents bordering thereon were marooned. School children either did not attend school in scores of districts, or went at the risk of life across fields, even by using fences as sidewalks. For two or three weeks in thousands of instances not a wheel turned on these highways, suddenly converted by merely a wet spring into low ways and impossible ways.
 What are the men of Michigan think ing about? They should follow the ex- ample of the men of Connecticut, who have been intelligent and enterprisfng enough to want and vote for road re- form. It is not long ago that Connec- lieut. roads couldn't be bragged about in the spring. Now many of them can be, and soon more can be.

NOT RE4DY TO CITE UP YET

Steam still has it's friends, in spite of the performances and spread of elec- tricity and gasoline. Some of the friends of steam live in Germany, and they are going to see what can be done for steam. Their notion is that as high speed on railroads can be secured with steam as with other motive powers. To
 this end an engine is being built capa-
 ble, it is estimated, of a speed of 125
 miles on level and a normal speed of
 eighty miles an hour. MT. Whitfield,
 consulting engineer to the German rail-
 road ministry is the designer of the To- comotive The engine is to draw a spe-
 cially equipped express train. The
 whole is to be built for speed. In order
 to minimize the resistance of the air
 the engine and cars will be sheathed in
 continuous steel case, pointed in front
 and rear, like huge cigar. Even the
 wheels will have their spokes sheathed
 against the air. A peculiar feature is
 an arrangement by which the smoke is emitted from the rear of the train in-
 stead of belching from the stack of the locomotive. Another peculiar feature is the placing of the drivers cab in front of the smoke-box, so that he may have an unobstructed view of the road, it being of great importance in making such high speed that he is able to see signals quickly. A new roadbed, better than any on the continent will have to be laid for the speed tests. This will be done by the Prussian minister of railroads, who has promised to put down stronger permanent way on the military railroad, and to lend it gratu- itously for the experiments. The speed tests are paid for in part by private
 parties, purse of $S0O,0OO having been raised among manufacturers of steam machinery.
 This is interesting and perhaps im- portant Perhaps it will be shown that as rapid progress can be made by steam
 as by anything else, and that progress doesn't really require the abandonment of steam,
