CHAPTER XXI

Toni and Denise had selected for their
wedding day the anniversary OF the mar
riage Of Paul and Lucy two years before
The wedding was as fine as Lucie could

In that line The garrison chapel was
decked with flowers. the organ played,
and it was much more like the wedding

simple muslin. never was there a daintier
looking bride in the world than the SER

The rural schools Of the United
States are educating one half OF all
the school children, and the trustees
OF these schools ought to study very
careful'y the suggested methods OF re-
form from them. No more important
work comes before the trustees than
that of the school building. HCw
many give thought 10 the heslthful
conditions of the schotl house? /: is

but what about The doctors bills?

is given the law requiring the attend

The people have been, seemingly, SO

The prOvi lions of the enactment are
such as could have been expected
| fourteen years ago, and too, for the be-
ginning of a system of free compulsory
education. The great improvement
in business cOndl i)ns. in roads, school
houses, and teachers since the enact
ment, justify an amendment to the
| law, we think to this extent. First,
the al tendance should be at least
twenty weeks instead of eight. Sec
Ond, since the state now furnishes
free school house, teacher. and books
to all INDECENT children, why not fur
niSh such other preparation to those
so poor as will enable them to attend
school. Third. since the teacher is
already required to report monthly to
The Superintendent the general cOndi-
/ tiOn of the school, why not have him
also report those who are'nOt comply
ing with the spirit and letter of the
compulsory school law. and make it
the duty of the Superintendent to see
to the enforcement of the law regard
ing attendance? We hold that the
state can effectively cause st'ict en-
forcement of all just laws by coercion,
and that compulsory attendance at
school can be had, which will be most
potent factor in giving the state in
the next generation citizenship Of at
least, a universal common school ed
ncatiOn.

That TX may be collect ID from all

is now universally recOgi lied. In Sep
temter 1908. the First International
Moral Education Congress was held at
the University of London. The rec
ord of TIL, congress shows that there
has been a remarkable growth of inter
est il moral education in the last de-
cade. In 1905 new Italian code was
pub i>hed, la, ing the utmost stress
on moral education. The AuStrianS
make the same emphasis in their new
code. In Portugal an excellent man.
ual of moral instruction for primary
schools was published in 1906. In the
United States these schemes have
been elaborated i'm many places In
Germany, Swi zland, Belgium and Rus
sia the authorities are turii x their
attention to this subject. In Frauce
and Japan, where moral inst III
has already been introduced, the sub
.t is being studied with an unusual
,,unt of interest In England tile
;e of the board of education for 1906
::ed that moral instruC ton should
furm an impOrtrnt part of every school
curriculum.
The Commissioner of E lucatiOn in
his report says: 1.-The view has been
repea! ed!y emphaS ID that all school
training and instruct ion that is worth
anything is moral in its influence 1t
should be added that the talk about
morals is the drieSt part, as the mere
appeal to moral emotion is the least
substantial part of what the school
can accomplish in this field. The NOR
al life is rooted in every serious Occu-
pat ion and interest in life. The pur.
suit of the sciences, the preparation
for industry. and all other school oc-
cupatiOnS are not only aSSOci ited with
moral Influences, but they offer als(
some of the substantial mat terialS OF
