Public Education.

We note with regret the very erro
neous view our metropolitan 9ailies
entertain and inculcate as to public
education. They speak OF it as public
benefaction and undertake to discuss
it from the point of view of what they
are pleased for the nonee to call 1.-THE
states ability"
Education is no public benefaction.
1t is the very highest kind of public
duty. Under our system of govern
ment the maintenance and integrity of
our institutions depend on the educa-
ton of the coming generations not
in mind alone, but in character as
well. This is a matter that is vital to
the state herself. It is matter not
only of securing the highest develop
ment, bus even OF self preserv alton.
For this purpose there is no limit to
the states ability. There may be and
is In the nature OF things limit to
the amount that may be benefcially
expended in any one year. We are
far from that limit at present. Every
parish in the state is lacking in ad-
equate facilities. The teachers sala-
ries are not what they ought to be,
and too often the school year is cur
tailed, especially in the country.
It were we'll for persons in author.
lty and having the good of the com
munity at heart to- give thought to
this subject and come to right con
clusion. They may also be assured
that until there is shown fair dispo-
sition to do their duty 10 the matter
of education the best class of immi-
grafton will pass the state by.

Humility.

1t is a curious fact of human nature
that humility draws forth from the
world almost as much admiration as
courage. As in the case of courage. it
is almost impossible wholly TO con-
denim character in which we see it.

If he thought art students did well TO
go to Europe to study. He said that
undoubtedly the atmosphere was more
artistic in Europe than anywhere else,
but that Paris as city to study and

To illustrate his meaning he said that
a certain rich mans son after three
years in Paris wrote home to his ia

THE TWO RoMEoS.

Mrs. siddons' Opinion Of David Garriek
and Spranger Barry.
David Garrick and Spranger Barry
were both playing Romeo at the same
time in London. Barry played 1t at
Drury Lane on the Monday, and Gar
rick played 1t the next night at Covent
Garden, and the town was divided as
10 which was the greater Romeo-in
fact. there was quite a great excite
ment about II, and they acted 1t upon
such different lines and with such mar
velously different conceptions that the
people argued the case as to which
Shakespeare intended. The fact is that
Shakespeare intended 1t to be acted
we'll. and If one mans temperament
suited It best to act in that way II
would do for another temperament the
other way.
So they asked Mrs Siddons, who was
the Juliet alternately with the same
Romeo, which she considered better OF
the two and she said:
at is difficult to say. They are both
wonderfully great, but will tell you
how they impress me in the balcony
scene. In the balcony scene Garrick
seems so eager, so intense and so full

while climbing Mount Rundeu- He
