Progress on the public school question: 1t might
also have included the Petersburg lndex-Appeal in
the combine. These newspapers appear to the
Register Ito be stresSng an insignificant distinction
when they assert with all the gravity of great dis
covcrers that the public schools are not operated
for the benefit of the children who are may be-
come pupils. bur that the schools are primarily for
the benefit of the State and upon no other hypo-
thesis can taxation TO sustain them be justified.
I'VE confess, says our friend, that the dis
unCtion between operating the schools for the
benefit OF the children Of the State and oper-
ating them for the benefit Of the State is one
too elusive and line spun for our finite grasp,
To us the so-Callcd distinction appears to be
cminently one without difference Conduct
ing schools for the benefit OF the children and
conducting them for the benefit of the State
appear to to be things which are equal to the
same thing and therefore equivalent. The edu-
cation OF the children is necessarily for the bene
ht OF the State, even though incidentally for
the benefit of the children"
What's the use? Nobody has disputed these
plain facts. Nobody pretends to have discovered"
anything. The Register merely emphasizes the
fact. Of course the children are benefited by edu-
cation, and OF course the State is benefited by
having an educated citizenship. In of The
Nirgnians articles on the subject it was stated
that public education from the States point of
view was public necessity. --
But suppose the State were not benefited by the
education of the children Suppose education
were a mere accomplishment, like dancing, for
example, skating or eocution which benefited
the child SO far as such accomplishments able
to confer benefit but did add to the value of
the child as citizen, does the Register say that
the public school system would be carried at
the public expense, that taxation for such a
system could be justified?
But the children are improved by education and
made more valuable citizens, when they grow
up and the State is improved accordingly, for the
people are the State. Hence, the public school
system is, primarily for the benefit of the State,
and it is proper and essential sustain it by pub
lie taxation. This is the only answer, but it is
complete answer, 10 the old saw, which used to be
a popular slogan, that it is not right to
TO educate another mans child.

SONGS TO AWAKE CHINA.
Used by the Progressive Element to
 Spread Modern Ideas.

The progressive element in China has seized upon the folk song as a vehicle for spreading modern ideas, says Albert Maybon in LOpinion of Paris
 The old Chinese notion of patriot ism mainly resolved itself into a sys- tenn of emperor worship. but the new generation is becoming imbued with more democratric ideas. veneration for the motherland taking the place of the cult of the son of heaven. The writer gives extracts from new popular song books, which he says are being dis tributed in native schools throughout the length and breadth of tbe empire from Ranking to Mukden.
 Some of these folks songs are mod ernized adaptions from ancient epics. others deal with political and other questions of the day Most noticeable is the fact that though all of them runs the martial spirit. To be res pected China must be nation in arms is the keynote of the modern Chinese educator.
 George Washington is the favorite example of lofty and pure patriotism. Lord Byron also comes in for praise. and Greeces struggle for liberty against Turkey furnishes a topic. Les sons drawn from Russia's defeat by Japan are paramount in all these pa triOtic song books.
 Another favorite song has for its theme the fate of dead nations, crushed under the conquerors heel. such as Poland. Even the "Marseil- laise" has been translated
 Exhortations to loyalty toward the reigning dynasty are curiously scarce. One collection of songs entitled The New China" which is published in Shanghai. recounts the glorious deeds of Chinese warriors and legislators in past ages. and planes the present re- gime for defeats al home. and un- avenged humiliations abroad.
