Studies in Civics.
BY w. j. PEELE.

lin taking up the subject of Gives
in the Coure. the Secretary congratu-
lates herself, as we'll as the readers
of the column, that Mr.. Peele has
kindly consented to give some help.
It is with much pleasure. therefore,
that she presents the first OF his ar
ticles.-A. V. WI
As Thomas Jefferson, who has been
the subject of preceding articles IN
this paper, was our greatest law
giyer and constructive statesman, IL
is quite appropriate that the value
of law as a study in schools should
now be- considered. In fact, 1t has
often been a matter of regret to me
that the serious study of law has been
mainly confined to those who. make
money out of it. 1t is pitlable to
see how completely the patriot who
knows little of law is at the mercy
of an antagonist who has studied 1T
only for the money there is In 1T. L
remember to have remarked to
friend of mine once, who wanted to
go to Congress, that l would be glad
to support him if he would study law
and statecraft for three years. He
| not only went away sorrowtul, but 1
do not believe he thinks quite so well
of me as he did before. 1t is com
piimentary to anyone to be thought
capable of fitting himself for the du-
ties of a State legislator in five years
and a Congressman in ten.
| We need large class of men 20
4 those
who know law merely to practice It.
The views of the mere practitioner,
even when he knows the law, are too
narrow for a statesman. Lord
Erskine went to the British Parlia-
ment with the reputation of being a
great lawyer and the foremost advo-
cate in England. When he made his
first speech, Lord Chatham took a
seat not far in front of him to take
notes of what he would say. In
few minutes Chatham thrust his pen
through the paper and dropped both
to the floor together. He knew that
he need not waste time over a man
who had been trained to regard the
; law merely as a science by which to
settle the devolution of property and
determine questions of private rights
and personal consideration.
These reflections show us that 1T Is
all the more regrettable that the mere
! practitioner is still our best excuse
for statesman. A whole generation
of young people must be educated IL
the underlying principles of law ano
government in order that they may
evolve some rare spirits who have the
capacity to know the law fully ane
profoundly for the sole purpose Of
guiding their people in their wides
b concerns. But let there be thou
= sand such spirits in North Carolin;
c alone, and they could do little unless
n whole generation should be edu
u Gated to appreciate them. The Sa
o. viour could not do "many might,
F works at Nazareth because of thei
r unbelief." Great success require
great sympathy.
The study of civics in the commo,
schools of the State will do much t
relieve the situation in North Care
lima, provided always the teachers ar
required to know something of wha
they teach, besides what is containe
in a mere textbook. Above all thing
he should receive inspiration, befor
he begins to teach, by sitting at th
feet of some Gamabiel in law an
statecraft
