While "log. with a teacher at ono

sound very inspiring, 1t does not fill tho
demand. We must have something more
practical than sentiment. II under
stand the business OF public education,
1t is public necessity. The State cstab
IlIshed and fosters public schools, not for
the individual benefit. but for the welfare
OF the Commonwealth.
Better teachers. longer sessions and
compulsory education--here Is interest
and activity by individuals. by assocla-
tions and by the State. But isn't most
vital and essential matter overlooked or
neglected? Better houses and equipment.
Let this be the order OF our efforts Good
schoolhouses. properly equipped. good
teachers, with the essentials for doing
good work: longer sessions and teachers

surprising tho country schools are no

Where is the responsibility for the

seems to me we must piace the respon-
siblity before we can hope to discover
the remedy. Does not just and fair
investigation disclose laxity. an indlf-
ference on the part OF the State? Before
discussing compulsory education. provide
a school-house that Is at least comforta-
bic and healthy. SO equipped a teacher
can do the work he Is capable of doing.
Do this. but this. and I am confident
there will be less ground for compulsory
