THE HOME INFLUENCE.

1t is true that various social dis
turbances and moral irregularities are
sometimes pointed to as evidence that
society is decadent, and this decad-
ence is laid at the doors or our sys-
tenn of public education, writes Wash
ington GLADDEN. in the January At
la1tic. But in the first place it is by
no means clear that on the whole the
world is growing worse; and in the
second place it is far less evident that
whatever failure exists is to be
charged mainly to defects in our pub
lie schools. Other and deeper causes
are in plain sight The trouble is in
the homes far more than in the
schools. The schools are not doing
all that they might do to give us bet
ter citizens, but they are doing much,
and their service must not be under
valued. My own bell # is that, say
ing nothing abou. the intellectual
gains which the pupils make in the
public schools, they come forth. as
rule, from their pupilage with
higher ideals, better principles, and
greater fitness for the duties of citi-
zenship that they would have If they
had spent all those years in the So
ciety Of their own parents. This is
far from being true of some of them,
but 1 believe that 1t is true of the
great majority.

WHISPERS AND HEALERs.


Another chapter has just been add

Kansas Comment
FOR THE roRRENs SYSTEM.

1t is probable that at the coming
session Of the Kansas legislature an
other attempt will be made to establish
the Torrens system of land titles and
transfers In this state. The system
Is SO sensible and so simple that it il
hardly probable that q state legisla-
ture will adopt it. 1t simplifies land
transfers and incidentally puts the
lawyers out of business who make
good money upsetting land titles un-
der the present cumbersome system.
Under the Torrens system the old ex-
pensive and intricate abstract of title
is consigned to the discard; when the
owner sells piece of land he simply
let's it go back to the state and the
state gives the purchaser a deed direct.
No abstracts are required, every man
has a good title, backed by a deed di-
rect from the state. or he has no title
at all. The system has been adopted
in some states and by several prov
inces in Canada and is found to cut
off much Of the expense of land trans
fers and eliminate title litigation
