The Knock On Roosevelt.

The result of the election in
New York is being generally con-
sidered a hard blow at Roosevelt.
1t surely was something of a jerk.
Whenever the people find a pub

d demonstrating to him the mistake
In his idea. Roosevelt doubtless
felt that he was doing the coun-
try a great service. He preach

progress. But when he seemed
ito think that the doctrine was

NV husband went before the board OF
education and earnestly pleaded for

Donkeydon1

Ny Dear Mrs. Felton-
Last week you had a piece In you
column of The Journal which to my
mind was grand so far as IL went. on
compulsory education and donkeydom,
hut II seems to me the cart is before the
horse in this compulsory business AT
least I'm some instances. I think wise
thing to do would be to unhitch and put
the horse ahead of the cart and then
we will make greater speed in educating
our children. In other words. first COM
pei the boards of education to give the
rural districts high grade teachers ana
then compel the parents to send their
children to school. Just so long as the
school commissioners and boards OF edu-
cation use a third grade key (teacher
to unlock the stable doors, just so long
donkeys will stay donkeys. We who are
in the rural districts are the ones who
must suffer.
Compulsory education would be grand
thing but to compel an eighth grade
pupil to go to an eighth grade teacher
would be just a little more compnlslon
than most of us could digest.
The principal of every school should be
qualified and If seventh and
eighth grade boys and girls must be
provided with work by all means compel
them to take a primary class in graded
school and stop them from nipping In the
bud the advancement of other girls and
boys who are not able to go off TO
boarding schools and yet are ambitious
to get out of donkeyism.
