WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Our Public School System.

To the Editor of The Journal
Our public school system has been much
lauded: A great deal has been said Of our
aattering notices of the sweet girl graduate.
It is especially the effective and alleged valu-
able work Of the high school that is held
up TO the view Of an admiring public. Inc
ture, receives little mention. 1t is said that
the high school is the poor mans college.
TO enter It and graduate has been considered
a goal well worth reaching. The idea has
prevailed with the massey who know little or
nothing OF what is taught there, that it equips
ture.
In view Of this it is somewhat embarrassing
as we'll as unpleasant to disturb these pleas
ant Authorizations of tho public. The teach
ing forces in this part OF the educational 10 field
will not take kindly to criticism. They may
possibly see that the educational millennium
is not here, but object to having defects and
deficiencies laid at the door of the high
schools '->~
The complaint that high school students and
graduates are deficient in the conner school
unbiased examination will prove it. AS none
Of these branches are taught In the high
schools, these are, Of course, not directly
responsible; but that the system Is at fault
due to hurried and imperfect work before the
high school is reached. Children are. rushed
tect the but not ths
grasp the subjects they are studying. They
have only a ,child's view and comprehension
| Of what is taught. Memorizing and cram
ming enable them to answer a certain per-
centage of questions. The bars are let down
and they leave forever that part Of the pub
| lie school system where these branches are

! is net complete in quality and quantity. The
mental capacity is not Of. the same quality
| that it is later. More than one application
| more than one term, more than one year is
required ito get power and facility to apply
! what's taught. The hurry thru the grades
makes the structure too fragile to be of much
practical value later in life. To remedy this
some of the more important common schoo
| branches should constitute part of the high
school course during the first two years. The
! teacher here is, or oughtsto be, broader and
| expansion of the text would certainly be the
proper thing. Some of the present high

Less Lynching.

The infection of the north with the
mania for lynching negroes and the at
tendant outbreaks Of race feeling have
undoubtedly given the public the impress
sion that lynching is growing instead OF
waning in the United States. The i'm
partial figures, however, tell a story that
is gratifying In contradiction to the pop
ular impression.
In 1893 there were 200 lynchings in the
United States. No year since has there
been so large number and last year they
were the fewest in ten years, being only
&c. In seven months Of the current year
there have been 50 lynchings, which does
not indicate that lynchings will be more
in number in 1903 than in 1902
The decline in the number of lynchings
is to be attributed to the passing Of the
wild west and to the growing tendency
of the southern people to let the law take
it's course. In 1902 there were 81 lynch
ings In the south. In seven months in
this year there have been 43. ...
The lynching tendency, comparing this
year with last. seems to be growing in
the north, but after the bloody lessons
OF Danville and Evansville we may be
sure that the tendency will be checked
Even as 1t Is there have, so far this year
been only 9 lynchings in the north, as
compared with 43 in the south.
The preaching Of law and order and the
firm stand the press is every where taking
apainst 1vnchinp topether with tho ero1xr-
ing readiness of sheriffs, north and south
to use firearms in defense Of prisoners
is having it's effect.
Now, If, as Professor William James o,
Harvard recommends, few prominent
citizens caught in lynching mobs shall be
hanged, lynching in the United States
after existence of more than 100 years
will be found after a few years to have
about run its course. --s--, =

Their WAY Out.

1IlSIl LOuI, 50 has
been without many breaks in the harmony
Of the occasion. Queen Victoria showed
herself to her Irish subjects few times.
English kings. however. have not been ad-
dicted to running over to Ireland" Had
they been In the habit Of making kindly
visits and looking after the welfare Of
their Irish subjects, instead of treating
them like hostile aliens, the pacifcation Of
the Emerald Isle would have been accom-
plished> some time ago. :, :
Bullyragging Ireland has. been q poor
policy. Edward VII. recognizes the fact.
He has shown tact and genuine interest In
the people during his trip and he probably
isn't discouraged by Maud Comes black
flag or the foolish action of the Dublin
council about the address to the king or
the pulling down Of decorations at Cork
and some other places.
It remains to be seen whether the Irish
nationalists, having secured the abolition
Of the dual land tenure system and a
peasant preprietorship easy terms, will
proceed to carry out their former threat to
renew agitation for their complete au-
tonomy under the crown, with crown Off
Gals removed from Dublin castle and
English garrisons removed from the mil

In 1881, when the first land purchase bill

ther reforms and even the repeal of the
act Of union, for which O'Connell so siren
uously commended. Lord Derby was right
Everything the Irish have obtained In the
way Of betterment has come thru incessant
agitation and in the face of nutiny acts
and wholesale arrests and imprisonments.
Parnell depended on agitat ton to carry out
his program. Gladstone, avowed friend of
Ireland, encountered such violent: agita-
ton that he too was compelled to follow
the tory policy of putting the screws to
the restless leaders. The latter, 1recogi
nizing the value of agitation may, when
the lords pass the land purchase bill, and
| the machinery Is put In motion to abolish
landlordisnn, proceed to organize agitation
for the government of Ireland, not under
the direction Of the imperial ministry OF
the day In London, mediately thru the
viceroy and constabulary in Ireland, but
Immediately thru an Irish local govern
ment. - - -. t..
It would be better for the Irish leaders
to give Ireland a rest from agitation which
has so long been incessant and, exhaust.

the abolition Of landlordism as the high
est good, and they have it, or will have
it soon, and then activities would be more
proftably employed in inducing capital tt

peace and business, and industrial activ-

of peaceful policy will convince the PEG.

at the rate Of 100 car loads a day. and 1t
will take 5000 cars to move the whole
crop to eastern markets. Prices are high
this season, and the fruit-growers, thru

shipments in such manner that none of
the markets will be glutted. Fruit grow

Second 1T should be shaped on the as
sumption that It's purpose is to accomplish
the greatest possible good for those whose
formal education must end with It,
\ It must be borne in mind, however, that
some contend that a high school course
constructed without regard to college
courses, would vary little, If any, from the
courses we now have In Minnesota. It
would be interesting to have those who
are dissatisfied with present conditions
state concisely what changes they would
make in Minnesota high schools to make
them more self sufficient. r.
Few people will be found in this state. at
least. to dispute the proposition that the
university should be made to articulate
with the high school, instead Of vice versa,
but let us have definite statement Of the
changes that would have to be made to
bring this condition about. ~
