A novel system OF special education

Whenever railway employees In iso-
lated places can guarantee an average
attendance OF ten children or more not
otherwise provided for by the railway
schools, the railway department and
the education department, acting
conjointly and each furnishing half
the expense, provide suitable premises
and a certiGcated teacher at a salary
OF 1870 to s4s7 year and Gaar-
tiers.
Children of railway employees are
carried To and from these schools
free of charge and are charged slight
ly lower fees than in the regular
government public schools, says the
Educational Review: they must also
provide their own books and station
cry. No objection Is raised to the
attendance OF the children of farmers
who also may be living beyond the
convenience Of any government prb-
lie school.

u. S. PUBLIC LANDS
WORTH 81, 500, 900, 600
Government Absolutely Owns More
Than 173,000,000 Acres of
Forest.

Thr pEopte OF tho Dnitsd States, rep
resented by the federal government
are the absolute owners OF about
i7s. 000, 900 acres OF forest and forest
land valued somewhat broadly at
$500. 600, 900, according to the St
Louis Times. The present purpose
OF the government, approved by con-
gress and by the country generally,
Is to hold and to develop this vast
property for the benefit OF the own
ers. Any proposal to follow the
metho IL formerly employed. under
which these forests and the lands in
cidentAaly included with them would
be turned over to private ownership
at price representing an inhnitcsi-
NAL fractions of their value, would
encounter widespread and emphatic
denunciatlon.
The system which La now in opera
ton and is to be expanded as rapidly
as possible includes the sale of tim
Der, both standing and fallen, under
rules that will prevent waste and at
prices fair for the sawmiil men who
buy and for the American people. the
actual owners and the actual sellers.
Fifty years ago such a system might
have been both undesirable and i'm
possible. but the national attitude
toward national property has under
gone material change. Much Of
the public domain has been taken
from those whom Mr.. Pinehot calls
"the eompiacent victims OF plumber
ers." and more has been almost given
away. There no longer remains any
sound reason for the disposal OF
public property at nominal prices.
There Is every reason why the pres
ent owners. the people OF the coun-
try collectively, should receive q fair
market value for stumpage, mineral
lands and mineral rights and any
Their property belonging 10 them.
