The plan has no footing in any view that may be, taken of it. It is retrogressive in the extreme. What | and more and better and better paid tcaclh:rs, to in- crease their efficiency. Free books will in no way better the situation, but will make it distinctly worse. It will so add to the cost of the system as to cause unwise retrenchment in accommodations and in the teaching force. Nor is this all. The cost will finally reach such a volume that the taxpayers will demand that less | books be supplied, and there will be a recourse to | fewer books and those of less 'merit. The destruction of the free books will be rapid. The pupils, having | no sense of ownership in them, will be careless. in handling them, and instead of a book owned by the | family, | children, well cared for, a part of the family library and finally to be tenderly cherished by the parents, these free books will be short-lived and a constant resupply will be necessary. It is true that the Emmons bill provides that: “The State School Superintendent shall place a valu- | ation upon each book in the State school series, | which valuation shall be plainly marked or stamped upon each book issued under the provisions of this act. In case any of the said books are lost or de- | stroyed during the school year for which the same | were issued the parent of said pupil, or guardian, shall . pay to the principal of said school the sum at which | | said book is valued, as evidenced by said stamp or | mark, and said principal shall transmit all moneys so received to the County Superintendent of Schools, nd the said County Superintendent of Schools shall transmit said money to the State Superintendent of hools for the benefit of the State school fund.” Now is there a school principal or teacher who wants to assume this duty of keeping tab on books | and collecting fines from the parents or guardians of | pupils? Suppose they deny responsibility and re- “1f the in the courts by the processes for collection of a debt every parent or guardian has a right to demand a jury to pass upon the facts, and the will soon be litigated into destructive \wpmpu]arll , and teachers this provision of the law will have a storm howling z2bout them continually. The e quoted is | fuse to_pay the fine, how is it to be collected? be prosecu schools a sample of the looseness with “the said pupil” is a clause Nor is there any explanation of which the bill is drawn antecedent. withous ference that it means a pupil guilty of losing or de- 1z a book. Such act of a pupil is practically penzlized by the bill, which stamps the school sys- means, stro; tem wi book A is destroyed when the binding gives away lost out of it. With these books passing nd, class to class and school to as they e to pass, ill provides that the consequences of the acts use of and many unfortunate enough to receive a book that is ready to fall into pieces. Upon such questions teachers are expected to pass judgment and collect penal fines! It is an abhorrent feature of the measure, which will add most unpleasantly to the burdens which teach- 1y bea 1 is in need of a schoolmaster. ers alrea The Tt provides that when a County Superintendent makes a requisi- n for the textbooks needed in his county for the ensuing schoo! year the State Superintendent shal! forward the same to the County Superintendent's of- fice ali that charge other than the County of and free charges, transportation Superintendent shall then forward them to the severa charge except transporta ion charges. books, the bill but that it is to be paid by somebody, not say by the Cc whom.

Then the teacher will have to pay both charges and e pro-rate them to the parents in proportion to the | number of books used by the children of each. Then if they refuse to pay how is the money to be collected of them? All of this will absorb the attention of the teacher to the detriment of the school, and will be a part of the gross damage to the schools which will lv(‘ inflicted by the bill.

E The strife between York and Lancaster red- | f dened with blood the right little, tight little island. Then ensued the uprising led by Cromwell, | that ended in the Lord Protectorate and the Com- | | monwealth. Cruelty, savage courage, soldierly | qualities and leadership characterized all of these | commoticns. Revenge survived after men were dead, and in the potent passion of the time graves were violated to expose the heads of the dead, or to hang }lheir bones in chains, to receive the execrations of‘ | their enemies. s | But the civil wars and their passions and divisions | are long gone by, and for more than a century and | a half the descendants of Cavalier and Roundhead, and ' the descendants of the still more remote leaders in the ! ! wars of the Roses, have learned that those years of strife and <tralegy, after all, developed the xAualmcs of endurance, patience, discipline and leadership to | 1 | such an extent that these have come down to the | | present day as an endowment of character to which | | England owes her place in the world. So the :nu.-; ors in those old wars are to-day held in honor, and | history puts them on a pedestal to receive the respect | of all the people, as the common ancestors of the ! England of the present. In this more modern age intelligence is more gen- | eral and the minds of men are better trained. So it | has come to pass'that within a half century the actual | | participants in our Civil War of 1861 have come to }rccognizc the struggle and the actors in it, on both | sides, as expressive of common qualities of courage, initiative, sacrifice and stubborn devotion to an ideal that make up the American cMaracter. In the first | years after the close of our great war there seemed but little hope that the g;neranon which participated in it would reach such broad ground. Wounds were fresh. Political differences, supervening upon the war itself, were so bitter and sectional prejudices long existing were so hot that the best men on both sides despaired of ever reaching commion ground. But| | it has been found at last. | Looking back over the years to the exceeding bit- | terness that is farthest away it is evident that the be- | ginning of kindlier and better sentiments between the | North and South began when Horace Greeley went | | on the bond of Jefferson Davis to deliver him from {lhe _irkcnme and humiliating imprisonment in For- | |tre Monroe. Though the South acecepted that act sul- ! [oly, and the North showered abuse upon Grcc!cyl for it, it came to be understood as an expression ot‘ profound patriotism. Mr. Greeley, who was a phil- | osopher, saw clearly that the Union must be one of hearts, to be real, and not a bond of force binding the unwilling together. That union of hearts is now here and will not pass | away. Its latest emphasis was given in the mcc[ing} }ml the 26th inst. of the Camp oi Confederate Vet- | { erans in New York. The opening toast was to Presi :denl Roosevelt, “a prince-among the rulers of the :world. but the servant of a free people,” which was | received with an enthusiasm which did not subside | {to the end. Charles Francis Adams of Massachu- | setts, a veteran of the Union army, responded to the | toast to the memory oi General’ Robert E. Lee, and | declared that his statue should be erected in the na- ! tional capital by common contribution of the blue! and the gray in recognition of brilliant military | achievement, lofty character, hono#® and humanity in | war, and devotion and dignity in defeat. Colonel Watterson, Coniederate veteran, in like ! spirit responded to the memory of Abraham Lin- | coin, who was declared by his old foeman “not for an but for all time.” At the close ail the great! pany, blue and gray, rose in ascription to “the silent brigade,” the million Americans who fell in | that mighty strife. While it is true that here and there a Southern ! | Hotspur tries to blow life into the dead embers of | hatred and strife, he gets little sympathy, as does the | Northern man engaged in the same ungracious task. | | They were all Americans, all brave men, all devoted to ideas and ready to die for them.

If that statement be correct the hook worm does not fill the bill. There is a disease of laziness | in cities as well as among farmers, and it works just | | about as thoroughly in winter as in summer.
