The subject Of Compulsory educa-
ton is a delicate and difficult one,
and yet if ignorance Is menace to
law and order the Stale should have
power TO protect itself against that
evil as well as any and all others.
When parents and children become
members of civilized society they must
yield as much Of what we are accus-
toned to call personal liberty as is
necessary for the common veal, and
amongst other things the parents
must give up the right TO manage their

not afford the luxury Of litigation
while the claw delays simply defeat
Justice. This would encourage good

engrandecidos unos, humillados
otros, la igualdad resulta un mito,
la fraternidad una mentira y la
/ libertad un mote irrisoriol
MARIANA ABRIL.
