German Emperor Presents Bell TO the
German Reformed Church.

Special to the Herald.
New York, Dec "a bell presented
by Emperor William of Germany to
the German Reformed Church of
America in East SiXty-eighth street
will be dedicated with interesting GER
emonies tomorrow on the occasion of
the celebration of the 150th anniver-
sary of the founding of the church
The bell is five feet high and weighs
three thousand pounds. On one side
it bears the German coat of arms
and an inscription reciting the fact
that the bell is a gift from Emperor
William.
Among the distinguished parishion-
ers of the church in former times were
the Baron Won Stauber, who aided the
United States in the revolution, and
to whose memory stone was placed
in the CHURCH in 1898, and John Jacob
Astor. The gift from the German en-
peror was in recognition of the fact
that the church has been the worship
ping place for thousands of Germans
during the century and a half of It's
existence.

THE CHILD AND THE STATE LOSE

Editor Robinson of the Waco Times
Herald is opposed to compulsory edu-
cation on the ground that such law
is undemocratic and paternalistic
Waving all of this argument, we sim
ply draw the question to the point by
asking Editor Robinson if such a
school law in Texas would not tend
to guarantee children now neglected
an education and put them in the way
to make good citizens9 And we ask
him, further, if under the present law
many children are not being deprived
of their rights to an education and
allowed to grow up in ignorance and
idleness? And, conceding either fact.
would not such a law be beneficial
first to the child and then to tie
state. and if SO would not such law
- good thing for society in general,
(lougl 'aternalis1ic in its ten
dency? 1t matters little as to the
means, or what complexion such law
assumes, if the ends are obtained.
Editor Robinson must see in his own
town, as we see in our town, children
rowing the streets every day who
should be in school. Many of them
come from homes where the parents
seem to have no forethought of the
future of the child Boys, in many
cases, are allowed to quit school as
soon as they are large enough TO put
on long pants, and if they are not put
to work to help increase the family
income they are allowed to run the
streets, form bad habits and cultivate
bad associates. resulting in the devel-
opment of worthless citizen and
forcing life of hardship on the child
grown to manhood that would be a
Herald can see no objection to a COM
pulsory school law, and can see many
reasons for one. We concede that it
would be more ideal if the education
of the child could be left to the parent
but the record of the past teaches us
that the parents all cannot be depend
ed upon to do the fair thing by their
children And for this reason, and
because this is so, it seems but right
and proper that the state should as
sumo the role of patron and see that
every boy and girl in the state has
its right to full life.

ExTRAvAeANcE' AT CHRISTMAS.

There is another important mat

ing of the buying of Christmas pres

for Christmas presents" The News
adds: 1T is the habit of many of the
people of this country to do this very
young American head that the value
of the present is the main thing: that
to keep ones expenditures within
ones bounds is to prove ones self
short. The better way to prove ones
self short is to buy too much and then
be found unable to pay for it when
the bills are presented. This matter
of extravaganza in Christmas buying
has grown to be one of the serious
evils of the time. 1t is especially try
ing on young people of limited means
and scores of schoolmates brought to
them by the present school system.
