Superficial School Training.

Sneering at Oxford is not a proper
response to DR.. William Osler's re
gretful announcement that many OF
the Rhodes scholars from this coun-
try will not attain their degrees be-
cause their training in American
schools and colleges has been made
quate, remarks the New York Mall.
The present regius professor Of Ok
ford is not the first American TO rec
ognize the defects OF our system OF
tuition as a basis for true scholar
ship. Learning made easy" tricky
textbooks that simplify studies OF
real difficulties into a mere matter OF
memory; smatterings of Science" Of
every description plastered upon
small brains unframed TO work any
way but parrotlike or monkeylike-
these are the too frequent errors in
American schools that make for
"mushy" minds. The fault, we be
lieve. lies less with teachers than Dr.
Osler believes. 1t is due rather to
the Impotence of parents and chill
dren alike with studies that promise
no prompt and practical returns.

Make MARRIAGE engagements Public.

Make Marriage Engagements Public
About the only practicable improve
ment in marriage is that suggested by
a Kansas legislator who is going to
introduce a bill compelling the publ
cation Of marriage engagements for
30 days preceding the ceremony. This,
OF course, is already the custom In
some circles OF society, where mar
riage engagements are invariably
made public. Among the Jews en-
gagements are regarded as only one
degree less sacred than marriage It,
self. In Europe the laws Of most
countries compel the publication OF
banns Of marriage, so that the whole
community is made aware that matri-
mony is contemplated and any I'M
pediment to the match may be dis
covered. But among a large majority
Of people in the United States no
such provision is made. Hasty mar
riages are frequent, and even when
engagements are of some length they
are not always acknowledged. This.
of course. makes deception easy, and
even crime. A man may marry 40
wives. as Hoch did, says the Chicago
journal, and unless some unusual cir
cumstance arises he may escape de-
lection. A law compelling the publ
cation of marriage engagements
would undoubtedly lessen the evils
matrimony in this country
II for 80 days before the knot is tied
the news we're circulated and dis
cussed by everybody interested, many
a bad marriage would be prevented
and much suffering would be avoided.
Marriage is a very important event
in human life. and the state should
take every means to make 1t safe.

1T is THE ONLY WAY.

tRaieigh. n. C.. News and Observer)
Attorney General Hart, of Georgia,
in his annual report, points out that
when required to reduce their rates
the railroads fight the law, always
making the plea that such reduction
would cOniiscate their property, and
the reduction is therefore illegal. He
therefore takes the position that the
State should take the necessary steps
to ascertain the real value Of rail
roads, so that rates may be fixed that
will allow fair dividend on the real
value Of property, less the water. The
Georgia Democratic State Convention
made three most important declara-
tons along this line. We quote:
"The great TRANSPORTATION cOmpa-
MES have issued millions Of dollars Of
stocks and bonds i'm excess of the mo-
mics put into their properties, and they
are taxing the industries Of the PEG
pie TO pay dividends on fictitious Sc
curities.
ave condemn the system by which
the great railroads Of the country
have been permitted to issue fabulous
amounts Of fictitious or watered
stocks and bonds, many times in ex-
cess Of the value Of the property upon
which they are based. We look upon
this evil as the primary cause Of ex-
cessive freight rates.
1--WE favor rigid governmental reg
ulatiOn Of the issuance of stocks and
bonds and other securities by all pub
lie service corporations so that in fu-
ture the total amount Of such securi-
ties shall bear a just relation to the
money actually invested in the prop
erty Ofsuch corporations
There will be no permanent RENE
dy until there is rigid government
al regulation" OF the issuance OF
stocks, bonds and other securities by
public service corporations That is the
only way to eflectually prevent future
issues Of oceans Of water Massachu-
sets has some such law now. Other
States must follow.

Children In Berlin to to School
 Without Food
SOCIETIES CARE FOR THEM
Law compels Parents to Send chiI- dren to School, So They Often Go Without Breakfast and Some
 Get No Dinner.

Berlin, December 22-The municipality Is face to face with q very serious prob- lem in connection with the supply of food to thousands of virtually starving chill dren attending the primary schools in Berlin, whose numbers have been great ly augmented this year owing to the in- dustrial inactivity. Hitherto the chl- drens canteen society has been able to cope with the task in a fairly satisfac- tory way by means of subscriptions from private sources, but the calls on it's funds are this year so great that it will be unable to supply many of the chil- dren. In the first week of December ac- cording to official statistics, from 1s5 out of 2S5 primary schools, no fewer than 11,9f children attend school in most cases without breakfast and in all cases without the prospect of obtaining a mid day meal at home. Of these 449S receive simple daily meal from the 14 canteens belonging to the -mentioned society; the other 7449 are totally unproyided for.
 The society will be able this winter to dispose of the sum of $S241 .50 and this will be taken up by the provision of a meal day to the 449S children already on its books. Altogether for the feed ing of the 12,OOO starving little ones during the winter, s37,5OO will be necessary, and the council is to be asked to vote 80 GOO to make up the amount required and place it at the disposition of the society for administration
 Parents who do not send their children to school are fined unless they can give medical authority for keeping them at home Therefore, poor parents send chill dren to school even though foodless and miseraby clad.

RIOT IN MEXICAN TOWN.
Priests and TownspeopIe Are Mixed
 Up In the Affair.

San Antonio, Tex. December 22.-A spe- cial to the Express from Mexico City, says:
 Riots were in progress all day yesterday at slhuatlan, a village near Guadala- jara, resulting from the arrest of a priest on the charge of fighting with towns man. The priests and nuns called upon the townspeople to avenge this insult to the priest Several hundred women and boys armed with clubs and a few revolvers attacked the town lookup and released the padre.
 The priests have fled to the country, fearing that they will be punished. The nuns, known as Sisters of Mercy. took a prominent part in the disorder. The disturbance was finally quelled by the
 ----- police.
