A CASE OF MIDDLE.

They've got another mixup in Massa- rhusetts. Not that it is any novelty, for they can get into about as many complications as any people we know of. This time It is concerned with education. Massachusetts is great on education, as all know. She insists that her children should know all that is to be known, and we do the State but simple justice when we say that it occupies a very high place on educa- tional statistics
 But that is the cause of the latest muddle. The last Legislature passed bill which makes it unlawful to em- pioy children between the ages of four teen and sixteen who cannot read and write. The School Superintendent of Ludlow made a canvass and found fwenty-six children who were unable to read prose 'intelligently," accord ing to his view, so he ordered them re- leased. The employers refused to re- lease them. because, as they express it. 'there is nothing in the law which pro- vides that children between the ages of fourteen and sixteen shall read and write intelligently, but merely that they should be able to read and write"
 And there you are. There was meeting of school superintendents all over the State. and the conference decided that "a degree of intelligence test" Of course, of course. We might expect that from . convocation of Mas sahusetts educators, but what has been gained? The term "a degree is a very indefinite one. No doubt n Boston educator will contend that no boy can his words and sentences as Edward Everett would do. and that he cant write intelligently unless every letter is formed in exact copyplate style.
 But the mill-owners of the State don { see it that way, and they refuse to give up children within the prescribed ages if they are able to read so as to be understood and can write a hand that can be read. That, we infer, will naturally bring the matter before the courts and then the country may ex- pect to be edifed. Then we may ex- pect to learn what the word 'fntelli- gently" means. and what "dcgree" stands for. There will be some Boston lawyers employed, and perhaps the members who voted for the bill in the Legislature will be called on to tell what they meant. And it is altogether probable that the courts will not make matters much better. There will be learned lawyers on either side and each will construe the law in his own way After all. how can it be settled? Some of the most intelligent men read very poorly. and write hand that cant be read without a diagram. We predict that the Legislature will be called on to try it over.

Macon IeIegraph.
 In 1S9S-99. at the time of the Span ish war, among tho officers of the reg ular army who made their headquar- ters in Macon was the grim looking Colonel John c. Bates The people here remember him well, for he had the manner of the soldier and was most strict in his attention to his mil itary duttes. He distinguished himself subsequently, in Cuba and the Philip pines. not only as a soldier but as a diplomat. The Sultan of Sulu doubt less remembers him.
 Lieutenant General Cnaffee, who was also colonel at the outbreak of the Spanish war, and who rose to the first position n the army. that of chief of staff. will go upon the retired list on February l. and now his place is to be taken by General Bates, making the latter the active h6id uf the army He will not be able to hold the position long, for he will reich the age sixty two next August 20. General Bates entered tile service rom West Point in 1861. and it is quite probable that he is the last of the men who fought on the Ia,On side during the civil war and who gained the experience only to be found i!, the larger sphere, who will rise to the t,vst place in the T'ni- ted tSatcs militar yservice So that t1eneral bat's will hc the last of the line which includes the names Of Grant sherman.
