EDUCATION IN SWEDEN.
Every Child Must go to School Be.
tween Ages of 7 and IA.

Nowhere else, unless we except
America, is education so universal as
in Sweden, says the Craftsman.
Every child must go 10 school be-
tween the ages Of Z and IA, unless the
parents can show that they are being
privately educated. There are about
L 600 common schools in Sweden,
even the thinly populated districts
having "ambulatory schools" held in
various parts of the district. When
this is the case the school term is re-
duced to about half the ordinary dura-
ton. Children who have good homes
and parents live protected lives as
they do the world over. but the neg
lected ana those that might become
delinquent are safegaurded by being
sent to the cottage work schools" as
they are called Each parish has the
necessary number of work schools,
supported partly by the parish, partly
by the state, supplemented by gifts
from individuals. Manaul training
only is taught from II to l and from
5 to THAT is, after the morning and
afternoon regular sessions Children
under 16 who are apt to run the
streets, and who are liable to mischief
because their parents are at work or
lack control over them. are sent to
the work schools, upon the recon-
mendation of the teachers. In addi-
ton to the manual training, the child
len are given plain but wholesome
dinner or supper. The pupils are
never told they are naughty, but the
reason they are sent there is because
it is well for everybody to know how
to do good work with the hands
Meals are not given in the spirit of
charity, but as a reward for work we'll
done. The teachers are in thorough
sympathy with this fine preventive
work. AS one of them said, They are
not really bad boys and girls, but just
full of too much spirits and needing
guiding hand"

and for life-saving, but also for sus.

But would even this counsel of
scholastic perfection produce the end
the Spectator desires? In Russia, Of
late years, all its conditions might
have been fulfilled and yet the con-
ventional type of patriotism would
still be sadly to seek. His share in
the glories of Catharine and Peter
has surely kept no Russian student
from treason to the car and to the
present organization of the empire.
They made no Russian mujik a whit
more ready to die in Manchuria at
the hands of a little known enemy,
for a still less understood cause. So
long as the Russian flag stands for
what it does, there will be under it
precious little of that type of patriot
ism which seems dearest to the CO.
lonial wars and other ancestral soci-
cites.
All possible teaching of the past,
all playing of national anthems and
all appeals to present an unbroken
front to the enemy could make no
liberty-loying Russian less "disloyal"
than he is today. On the other hand,
the thousands of German and French
and Irish-Americans who fought for
the north during our civil war prove
that the highest type of battlefield
patriots may be found among the
people with only superficial education
in the history and language of re-
Gently adopted country.
The truth is, in our opinion, that
love of country cannot be taught.
Mere readiness to go to war Is
survival of savagery, not patriotism,
and should be discouraged rather
than encouraged; it will always lie
with other animal passions too near
the surface Give men justice, free
dom and equal treatment before the
laws and you increase a hundredfold
their natural love for their land and
kin. The stimulate this by hot house
methods is to make patriotism arti-
fetal and false; to sti1e the noble
kind Of love of country now exempli-
fed in Russia-the readiness to over
throw duly constituted authorities
who betray their trust The way to
stimulate patriotism is not by wav-
ing flags, bestowing tariff favors, nor
yet by granting public moneys to a
few individuals who want aid in their
shipbuilding or ship-owning enter
prises. 1t is by making the conditions
of life easy and free and fair I'M
/ less this is done the country may
lose, as did Germany in 1s49, some Of
its best men, whose devotion to their
ideals of liberty forbade them to re-
main.

The handy woman with a genius for
fixing up things around home knows
quite a few things that other women
might be glad to know, at this
festive - season, when the warfare
on diet runs merrily on.
There is, for instance, the trans
forming of old articles of furniture SO
that they appear quite new. The
dainty chairs in white and gold are
a striking example OF what a little
labor can accomplish. Mirror frames
that perhaps have been banished to
the storeroom may be made into love
ly new ones by the means here de-
scribed.
Whatever the article which it is In
tended to decorate, it should be first
made smooth. BY using sandpaper
that is a little worn the roughness
can be nicely removed.
Hagc a soft bristle or hogs hair
brush and spirits of turpentine to thin
the first coat OF paint, The next
should be put on much heavier. Sew

or three in some cases may be re
quired Let each one dry before put
ting on the next and try to flow the
paint on to make a smooth, nice sur
/ face. Avoid using a lavish amount
Of gold (this a dealer will supply

be lines, delicate scroll work OF

STIMULATING PATRIOTISM.
Love of Country Is Not Taught by
Wavinu FIaus.


How shall nations be trained in ph-
pSiot,sEll The question always seems
to become burning with Anglo-Saxons
Immediately after they have tasted
war. Here in the United States pa
triotic societies have hourished since
the victory Of 1898 as never before
says the New York Post. 1t has be-
come an offense to remain seated
when the national anthem is played,
and a crime to use "Old Glory" for
advertising purposes, Our school
houses now have each their stars and
scripes. The cult Of military for
bears is at an undreamed-of height
and the excuse is always the foster
ing of patriotism. There seemed to
be sufficient to go around In 1898,
and there were large quantities OF a
much finer variety in 1861. Ye5
there never is enough to suit those
who can measure devotion to ones
country only by readiness to hasten
to a battlefield.
Just now Lord Roberts, Rudyard
Kipling and the London Spectator, a
formidable trio, are wrestling in Eng
land with the momentous question
The first mourns because all English
men are not made to imbibe patriot

anxious - see every boy trained to

Patriot n, 1t explains, demands
above all things seriousness, and its
one enemy is frivollty" To our
minds the thing to do then is to ban
ish, expel and forbid frivollty and its
twin, leylty. No such easy way out
for the Spectator. 1t says:
How Is patriotism to be taught?
The first step is to recognize it as
one Of the chief ends Of education. No
