Education Is One Thing
and Realization Of That
Fact Grows, Says Claxton

Chapters on Roman Catholic
Schools, Typical notwithstanding
Agencies of the United States, and
,Parent-Teacher Associations, are
special features of the annual report
of the United States commissioner of
education, just issued. In addition to
these the report contains substantial
chapters on the following subjects:
General survey of the year; education
al legislation during 1912; higher edu-
cation; city school systems; rural edu-
cation; recent movements in negro
education; a review of agricultural ed
ucatien; progress in vocational educa-
ton; library development; education
in Alaska, the Philippines, Hawaii,
Porto Rico, and other dependencies;
Indian education; educational activi-
ties in Canada, Latin-America, Great
Britain, northern Europe, France, and
Switzerland, Germany, southern Eu-
rope and Russia; together with a
general view of conditions in Asia,
Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
In his introduction to the report the
commissioner discusses the wide dis
crepancy between Sthe increase in the
number of children Of school age. and
the actual enrolment; an apparent
reduction in teachers salaries during
the year; the remarkable increase in
professional schools, due to the en-
forcement of higher standards; lack OF
preparation of teachers, which DR.
Claxton characterizes as one of. the
greatest evils of our school systems;'
the shortness of the school term in
the United States as compared with
other civilized nations; and the alb
normally large percentage of illiteracy
in the rural districts. In noting
signs of real advancement during the
year, Dr.. Claxton lays special empha-
sis upon the growing realization so1

THE MuLHALL INQUIRY.

EE rr:Eas#a {. -~~- ' @.=E G-EEasar
Speaking of the Mulhall ~investiga-
tion now in the senate. the outgrowth
OF President Wilson's courageous
stand against the lobby Of the inter
ests now bivouacked in Washington,
The st. Paul Pioneer Press has to
say: +. .,
The revelations made by Mulhall,
former agent of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, have been so
largely su~bstantiated by documentary
evidence that they have gone beyond
mere rumors. A condition has been
revealed that exceeds anything that
was suspected when President Wilson
notified the nation that an "insidious
lobby was lat work. Insidious indeed
it is and has been, according TO the
records.
Naturally enough, the labor leaders
will chuckle with delight at the proof
Of the doings Of the arch-enemy.
Those persons who opposed a tariff
commission will find justification for
their attitude now that it Is known
that this insidious lobby had it plan
ned to control effectively any tariff
commission, and thus to delay tariff
reduction.
But the only thing the earnest citi-
zen will think about or care about will
be the revelation that men presumably
Of culture and ability and refinement
and high standing are willing to Sc
cure dictatorship in government by
any means that will produce that sit
uation.
This exposure is very timely, and
will effectually put an end to any use
fulness the N. A. NJ. may have had.
The American people want no class
legislation, and no class bossism, and
arc as much opposed to demagoguery
aud trickery on the part Of rich men
as on the part Of poor men.

DEMAND FOR RAILROAD SAFETY.

A terrible wreck took place on the
railroad in which a number of lives
were lost. This wreck has caused a
thorough investigation into its cause
and a search for those responsible. The
road has been put to a severe test. It
has been hailed before the bar of pub
lie judgment. The people directly in
terested in it's safety have made it i'm
perative that the road protect the pub
lie against such calamities; and this
uprising has led other communities to
seek out the causes Of such accidents
and to demand that safety appliances
not now in use.
The New Haven road, however, has
not allowed the charges of negligence
lodged against it to go unchallenged,
for it has resorted to advertising in the
newspapers setting forth figures which
are at least impressive if not ~convinc-
ing.
The announcement which has beer
widely heralded through the papers is
that during the past ten years that
road carried 755,678,388 passengers,
n during that time it has experience
ed only six accidents in which passen-
gers Were killed. The total number OF
fatalities is twenty-nine. This is prob
ably a better record than many of the
other railroads have made, but still
