PUBLIC OPINION
Canal Fulton. O., Dec. 16. 1905.

Canal Fulton. o., Dec. 16, 1905.
Editor of Morning News:-
AT the request of numerous citizens
of this and other townships, make
this appeal to you to aid us farmers
in our efforts TO secure from the COM
ing Legislature, just and equitable
school law for township schools.
That such legislation is an absolute
necessity, is evident from the fact
that the present absurd and iniquitou3
CoX-Bonebrake school code, of April
1904, gives no person whatever the
power to hire a teacher for a town
ship school; nor has the good of the
schools, received any consideration
whatever from the trainers of that
code. School supply agents, scnooI.
book trusts, and all others who prey
upon our public school funds have
had their path carefully smoothed
for them; but those for whom our
schools were established and are
maintained, the children who arc
growing up to be our future citizens,
were not considered worthy of any
thought
What we need for our country
schools is, first; a board of education
consisting of member from each
sub-district to be elected at some 9th,
er time than the day of general
election of state and county officers
with an advisory board of sub-direct-
ors in each sub-dlstrict, (the law as it
was prior to April, 1000.
Second-The qualifications of a
county examiner should require that
such examiner shall have taught at
least two years within the preceding
five, in township, special or village
district
Third--A certificate issued in any
county to teacher to be valid IN
any county in the state.
Fourth-A teacher breaking a con.
tract duly made and entered into, to
teach a common school, to have GER
tificate revoked, and to be debarred
from teaching for one year, in any
public school in the state.
Fifth--A county superintendent IN,
stead of one in each township.
SiXth--A county board of education
to be composed of two members from
each township, village, or special DIS
trict, within the county; such county
board to have power to adopt series
of textbooks for county; to employ
county superintendent and fix his sal
airy; to appoint county examiners;
and to fix a maximum and minimum

SCHOOL SYSTEMS
Centennial Anniversary Celebrated at
y MISUNDERSTANDING
Renarkg

Washington, Dec. 1S.--Tonight the
centennial anniversary of the estab-
lishment of the public school system
Is being celebrated here. Secretary
of War Taft is representing the gov
ernment. To the members of the
board of education, who visited him.
at the White House, this afternoon
the president said: 1T would be the
greatest misfortune IL we ever per.
mitted such a warped and twisted
Wow of democracy toobtain, as would
be implied In denial of the advan-
tage that comes to the whole nation
from the high educate m of the few
who are able to take advantage of the
opportunity to obtain it. But while
fully admitting this, it remains true
that most important of all is the ed
ucatlon of the common school. The
public schools are not merely the ed
ncational centers for the mass of our
people but they are the factories Of
American citizenship"

this mission a considerable sensations
was aroused owing to the publication of
charges against NJ Gentil, commissioner
general of the French Congo, alleging
that the maladministration and great
cruelty TO the natives. NJ. Gentil is now
in Paris in precarious state of health.
Among the cases of cruelty contained
in the report is that OF number of ma

A letter from Count de Braza, dated
August "a, before the beginnia9 of mis-
fatal return journey, throws light on
the explorers opinions of what he saw
in the Congo. In it he says:
Il found the conditions at Banqui in.
The people there were being
destroyed by requisitions. Everything
was done to hide the true state of af-
fairs from the mission which. however,
discovered serious abuses. No reform
IS possible without change of admins

sary as otherwise in a short time we
