COMPULSORY SCHOOL LAWS.
States That Haven't Them Are Now Re.
duced To Four.

With South Carolina and Texas en-
rolled on the list of states that hag
compulsory school attendance laws az
result of 1915 legislation, the states with
out compulsory laws are now reduced t,
lfonr-Alabama, Florida Georgia and Mis-
sissippi.
/ While the South Carolina and Texa,
laws are not as comprehensive and strict
as those OF some OF the other states thai
have bad compulsory laws for man,
years. they are a distinct recognition OF
the compulsory principle and represent
big step forward in the two states.
The Texas law requires all children be.
tween the ages OF eight and IA to at.
tend school-60 days the first year, sc
days the second year and 100 days there.
after in every school year. 1t provides
for attendance officers, fixes penalties for
violations. and provides for the establish
ment of parental or truant schools where
necessary. The law goes into effect Sept.
|, 1916.
The South Carolina law Is optional.
but the state authorities are hopeful
that large proportion OF the districts
will vote to have the law apply to them.

ing that every local tax district cireu.

Officers of the United States bureau
of education believe that the action OF
Texas and South Carolina in enacting
compulsory school attendance laws viii
have an effect not only on the four states
still without such laws, but also on
states where the school attendance laws
operate only in part. Vigorous cam
paigns are under way in several states to
make compulsory education effective
throughout all the territory of the states
and for longer periods of attendance.
In Alabama. where school problems are
special attention this year, the
need for a compulsory attendance law as
one of the most important steps in
progress is keenly recognized. Present
and former state superintendent OF edu-
cation have urged the enactment of a
suitable law. State Superintendent w. |

The British railroads, which have prid-
ed themselves on the small number OF
their wrecks and the few people killed
have received a bad setback in their rec
ord as the result Of the triple crash on
the Caledonia railroad near Carlisle, Eng
land, Saturday morning when several
scores of passengers were killed and sew
cral hundred We're injured. The large
number of casualties was due to the
fact that one of the trains was carrying
soldiers crowded intb the coaches as they
were being transported to port tof
transfer to the front; and doubtless the
train was a special which broke in on
the regular schedule of the line, thus ex.
planning, in part, why the first collision
should have been possible. However, IL
is less easy to explain why the third pas
senger train was allowed to crash into
the debris piled up by the first collision.
1t is true that the arrival of the third
train was only few minutes after the
first crash; but even that short interval
should have given time enough to set
signals against the approach Of other
trains, and ii seems as if the knowledge
that other trains were almost due might |
have been sufficient warning to the sur
vivors to set the signals, although ad- |
there must have been tremen-
dous confusion amid the terrible devasta
ton of the two up-piled trains. In any
event. the result somewhat shakes faith
in the British claim to comparative free
dom from train disasters

National Security Seen by Localities.

| National Security Seen by Localities.
1t is entirely fitting that Massachu.
sets should be at the forefront in mill.
tia and equipment, and that the Massa
chusetts branch of the National Securi-
ty league should be one OF exceptional
yigor and promise. A coast state like
our own obviously has the most fear
from any foreign foe. For an invading
enemy to do much harm to Iowa would
not be easy. 1t is a long way up the
Missouri, or across country from either
coast. This doubtless accounts for the
languid attitude long displayed by the
interior states toward the new navy,
and TO the allied question OF merchant
marine.
New York City would be the great
target of a belligerent enemy. Current
accounts of the invasion of America IN
fiction form are right in focusing atten-
ton on the Brooklyn bridge and the
tower buildings of the great city, in
view of the enormous ransom which it
could be made to pay to escape complete
destruction. The question of fortifying
it is not, however. limited to sea out
posts, or even to an adequate navy, but
may also include land defences, like

work before ii in this war, of which no
ticipaton OF the whole nation through
Its ablest men irrespective of party des-
ignations seemed from the very first TO
be logical demand of the situation.
| But it would not have done for the
Asquith cabinet to offer membership to
men of other parties. Certain unscrup-
nlous critics would at once have said
that 1t was acknowledging weakness,
and Sinking its duty, and throwing the
burden of responsibility ON to the shout
ders OF those who were usually its polit-
ical opponents. So Mr.. Asquith and his
colleagues did well to wait until the
notion of national government had
found lodgmeut in the public mind. They
had gone as far as they could to favor
it by appointing Mr.. Arthur Balfour,
Mr. Bonar Law, Mr.. 4. 4. Smith and
other unionists on important committees
Tor departments OF war organization, and
may now proceed to open the cabinet
to these men with popular approval.
A coalition cabinet is nothing new.
When Pitt the elder took office in 1857
he coalesced with the Wing aristocracy
headed by the duke Of Newcastle. The
ministry known as the Great Coalition
was formed in 1882, when Fox, the lead
er of the reformers, entered Office along
with Lord North, the leader of the OPP
posite party. And in 1852 there was a
short coalition of the Wing party under
Lord John Russell and the more mod
crate of the conservative party under
Lord Aberdeen. There are precedents
enough to satisfy the slowest thinkers.
The new coalition has to face great
er task than that of any of its predeces-
sors. But its formation will instantly |
effect most desirable improvement; 1t
will still that carping criticism with
which some party writer's and speakers
promote dissension and weaken their
country. The coalition cabinet, composed
