FOUR LAUDABLF AIMS.

TIE first issue Of the Tir1inia Journal ot
EducqtIon 10 be issued after the death of the
former editor. Robert Lee Blanton, has been
sent to subscribers and Is credit to Joseph W,
Everett the new editor and publisher and to
his assistants The Journal of Education will
miss Mr. Blauton, as the school system of the
State Will miss him. but the latest number Of
the Journal is live and interesting and filled with
matter Of Importance to teachers in the public
-s-l4ea,&-s4a- atAar- educators of the state.-
On the very first page is a brief editorial of
great interest and Of value, If the plans laid
down for tho betterment of the school system
are followed religiously and II others in the
State will assist toward their contamination,
ut Is an excellent thing" says the Journal ''to
work toward certain definite aims, and the
Journal has fixed four for the future" 1t is
an excellent thing to work toward certain
definite aims and the four aims OF the journal
are well worth working for. They are:
/ An effective compulsory law in every
county in Virginia.
. Longer terms for the rural schools Of the
State
8 Medical inspection for all of the schools In
the state
4aA better system of levying taxation, and a
consequent increase of money for the schools
This is an ambitious program and one re-
curing diIiEent, painstaking ana continuous
work of the hardest kind. The tourtn atm is
in Itself task for the undivided attention of
many. The tax question is one with numer-
Gus ramifcauons and its solution requires the
careful study of experts and the unremitting
attention Of agitators Education and agita-
ton and then hard work are necessary for the
improvement Of the tax laws Of Virginia
The other three aims Of the journal are more
simple, Education and agitation is all that Is
required. but success is dependent upon the ac-
compllshment Of the fourth Compulsory school
attendance in every county means more expense
and, therefore, larger appropriations. Longer
terms for rural schools means tho same thing.
Medical inspection is the easiest % all, for it is
less difficult to awaken people to the realiza-
ton of It's necessity and is less expensive.
Success is dependent upon the attainment OF
the fourth aim OF the Journal because the at
tainment Of that aim means more funds at the
disposal of the State and, consequently more
funds at the disposal of the schools The great.
est objection and the only objection of merit
to compulsory education longer school terms and
medical inspection is the cost involved. We
have not the money comes the cry to meet the
advocates Of each of these improvements to

CURRENT COMMENT
Reducing the Cost.

The Democrats have been claiming there were
too many public offices and promised to reduce
the number. That is good proposition, and a
man could sincerely support a party that would
carry II out, for the depotism OF republic Is
in an onerous public service Too many offices,
too many needless jobs too many $40 paid for
$1.50 worth of work-these things characterize
the service under all parties.
But the Democrats promised to put an end to
the practice-to reduce the number OF officers
and employees and thus relieve the people of
Republican burdens. This Is especially true In
the general government. For instance, 1t cut off
the commerce court, but found places for the
judges. There Is an increase of expense in near
~ all departments. There are heavy additions to
the cost of collecting the revenue. both internal
and customs. and now are to have the census
with its loads of Jobs. The Interstate commerce
commission Is also establishing camps all over
the land.
We used to think the Republicans were doing
their utmost to test the patience and patriot
ism Of the taxpayer but We really think the
Democrats are doing worse, Maybe when Pres
ident Wilson gets through with his tariff and
currency measures he will address himself TO

suit this month. The larger cities of the State
already provide for medical inspection and the

Canada Benefited.

Cattle and beef made free by the new
tariff and there Is rejoicing in Canada. In
every cattle market in that country prices have
advanced from fifty cents to 81 hundred
pounds. Canadian farmers estimate that their
cattle worth average 81 0 head more
since the American market is thrown open to
them without duties and without Canada having
to give any reciprocal advantage to American
goods.
Those who looked for some reduction in the
price of meat in this country through the free
Importation of Canada cattle and beef are likely
to be disappointed The Canadians are going to
retain for themselves the benefits of free trade
with this country wherever they can Beef is
high here because It is scarce. Canada already
sends a good deal, and now the duty is off,
she expects to send us more and to sell it here
at the old price.
Her farmers and cattle men will profit by
adding the discarded American duty to the price
of their cattle, and the American consumer will
see that his government has thrown away some
revenue while the cost of living continues as
high as ever.-Philadelphia Press.
