The School Enrolment Rules.

In considering the propriety Of TIT
rules governing the enrolment of chill
dren as pupils in the public schools, t.
which many of The Suns, correspond
ents object, ii must be borne in mine
that the educational authorities have
difficult, well-nigh insoluble, problem
to handle. The school capacity of the
city is inadequate to the legitimate de,
mands made upon it by the population
II ineligible candidates for enrolment
are accepted the existing congestion in
the class rooms will be increased and in
justice done to the children who are
really Of school age.
Nor should ii be forgotten that many
parents seek to place in school children
who have not reached the legal age, not
for the purpose Of educating them. but
solely to be relieved Of their care for a
part of each school day. These parents
attempt to turn the schools into nurseries;
and this it is the duty Of the authorities
to prevent by the enforcement OF suit
able regulations and rules.
But do even these facts justify the
enrolling clerks in insisting upon the
production of one of three documents
as a condition Of enrolment? In this
country the communities in which vital
statistics are kept are comparatively
few, and the natives OF many States
would find it impossible to obtain them.
The demand for baptism certificates is
one that can be met by only small part
of the population. To ask a native
American for passport is about as SEN
sible as to ask an Asiatic Turk for q
California redwood tree. To exclude
child apparently Of school age from
the class room because OF the inability
OF its parents to produce any one Of these
documents would be distinctly unjust
and improper.
1t has not escaped attention that the
rigid enforcement of these rules this
year may decrease the number Of pupils
enrolled as eligible for instruction In
the public schools. The reduction Of
the number Of students in part time
classes is greatly desired by the public.
If the enrolment 10 reduced, no matter
by what means. the number Of pupils
in such classes will be lessened, to the
credit Of the Department of Education
and the qualification of the public. Some
of our correspondents believe that the
desire to accomplish this is responsible
for the rigid rules and their uncom-
promising enforcement. We hesitate
to believe this to be the case.
There must be some officer Of the de-
partment capable Of giving a full and
satisfactory explanation of the rules
and their application.

differ on this point. From Mbau the feet

North Sea, not by the Kiel Canal, but by

Tho Copiah Rough Riders and the
Story OF "Beat Three"

The Providence journal produces from
Limbo a very interesting il somewhat
dust begrimed portrait Of JOSEPH VEL
DEN BAILEY Of Texas in his more youth
full days, and presents the same in an
effective way as a companion piece to
the highly oolored picture Of Col. RoosE-
WELT which Senator BAILEY is now ex-
hibiting to the voters.
Senator BAILEY was born in Copiah
county, Miss, and that was the scene
Of his political activity before he re-
moved to Texas in 1885. In the election
Of November, 1888, tho supervision of
the balloting in Copiah county was
assumed by volunteer organization of
about one hundred and fifty Democrats,
organised as military company with
young JOSEPH w. BAILEY as it's Captain,
and one ERAsTUs WHEELER as Major.
The methods adopted by these strenu-
GUS sons Of Copiah, under the leadership
Of the future Defender Of the Constitu-
ton, to preserve the integrity Of the
ballot were afterward. described In the
report Of Senate investigating commit
tee Of which Mr.. FRYE and Mr.. HoAR
were members. JOHN SHERMAN also
signed the report, which says:
About two weeks before the election the armed
company above named began hiding around thu
country, taking with Thorn cannon, They began
operations at the lower end Of Beat a. but for
twelve days ranged over the county. Their opers.
tons were largely conducted at night, They kent
up constant nrtng with their guns and cannon
The cannon was burst, but was replaced by an.
other. These disturbances. which were compared
by several witnesses who had besn soldiers to the
firing In hotiy contested battle, were committed
In the dead Of night In the localities where coored
people dwelt In large numbers."
The Senate report goes on to charge
that Captain BAILEYs Rough Riders
killed, wounded, whipped and other
wise outraged a large number OF per-
sons The report goes even so far as to
style Captain BAILKY's. command OF cav
airy and artillery mob It says:
Tho reign Of terror Instituted by the mob in
command Of wHEKIxR and BALLET eliminated on
election day. when wHKRIxs shot PRINT MAT.

In casting bis ballot after being forbidden to do so
by wHmLx8."
