The population of New Orleans, which

testant church membership of but little
more than 10000. Last year the
churches OF that city gave s14,s4s to

the after convention campaign, which
has Just closed, shows that the s20,5sS
pledged for this year will be paid and
that 1t is probable this sum will be
increased. as all OF the churches have
not yet completed the canvass. The
report shows also that the convention
of the laymen,s movement in New Or

in the city are doing at home. The
conditions in that city are unique In
that respect, The large number OF

A far better and more consistent
plan would be for the community to
supply not only instructions. but the
entire material support Of the scholars
during their years Of study. "That

some obstinate adherent of that or

existing science of political economy.

horrid word and saying:
"No. that would not be communism,
but the solidarity of the community."

WHAT SCHOOLS SHOULD BE
By DR.. MAX NoRDAN

A cultivated mind has a fuller and
richer consciousness OF Its Ego, 1t
grasps better the phenomena Of the
world and Of life, 1t can appreciate
and enjoy the beauties Of art and OF
literature, and its existence gives its
possessor far more liberal and tn-
tense life in every respect than that
led by the ignorant.
We are ungrateful IL. In addition to
these priceless blessings for the inner
life, we demand Of education that it
should also provide US with our daily
bread-this should be the task of our
hands But IT, on one hand, the
man of cultur eought not to despise
the Immediate production of articles
for the market. society on the other
hand should make education accessible
to all those capable OF receiving and
profiting by IT.
Compulsory school attendance is
only weak beginning. How can poor
men afford to send their children to
school until they are ten or twelve
years old. when they are unable to
feed and clothe them during that time,
and when the little ones must them :
selves labor for their own support?
And is 1t justifable, is 1t consistent for
the State to say: You must learn to
read and write; thus far shalt thou so
and no farther?"
Why does compulsory school attend
ance cease at the elementary grades?
Why does 1t not extend to the higher
branches? Ignorance is either an In
trinity in the individual and conse-
quently In the community, or else IT is
not. If 1t is no infirmity, why are
the children compelled to attend the
primary and elementary schools II
