J., daughter of an Englishman and herself registered as a subject of the British Empire, has been “barred” from attendance at the public grammar school because she did not join with the other children in formally saluting the Stars and Stripes and repeating the oath of allegiance to the Re- public. The New dersey State Board of Education has made a rule, which practically has the force of law, providing that the county superintendent shall * mend that in each school district the daily exercises ¢ ‘ecom- | I include a salute to the United States flag, and shall include in his report a statement of the observance of this custom.” A by-law of the New York Board of Education requires a salute to the flag in the city schools, but the enforcement of this rule is left to the discretion of the school principals.

If a pupil commits on indiscretion while acting on conscience, the teacher is supposed to set an example of dis- cretion and overeome the error by tact. Patriotism is surely a vital clement in the education of boys and girls alike. At the same time the public schools of this country are not as yet established on a military basis, and the allegiance best worth while is that which is attracted and won, rather than an out- ward show that is forced.

Copyright, 1011, by The Prem Publishing Co. (The New York World), Ws some one remarked to the eccentric and brilliant Whis' ve a certain landscape suggested one of his famous pictures the replied: “Ah, indeed? Nature is picking up a bit!” As nature occasionally resembles art, so life ¢ times reveals a family likeness to fiction. A few o Mrs. Edith Wharton in “The Fruit of the presented the world-old problem as to whether or human being has the right to take the life of the vi of an agonizing and incurable disease with chloro! when requested by the sufferer to do so. Mrs. ton gave an emphatic yes to the proposition, tho her story concerned a trained nurse who, after pu a wife out of her life and a desperate and hop agony, married the husband, who had for some # been In love with her. This week in a Shaker settlement In Florida old man and an old woman gave a similar reply to the problem and as result are now under bail awaiting trial for the killing of a consump member of their sect who had requested them to put her out of misery chloroform. And, reading of this strange action of these two well-meaning old souls, m persons will ask themselves how they would face the same difficulty of condu it should ever be presented to them. It seems to me there is but one answer for the balanced and diserimin: mind—No. Ethically defensible as the actions of those simple old Shakers may be, right as they undoubtedly believe themselves, there is one thing which they overlooked—the sacredness of human life. The tnviolavility of that great mysteries is not merely a matter of religious precept or of law. It is an opinion every juryman also when he sends that murderer to his doom. No ht being has the right to constitute himself the arbiter of life and death. No pl clan even has absolute knowledge of when death becomes inevitable, And theg refutable argument against euthanasia has always been that to place power the life of another in the hands of any human being {s opening the door to a derous conepiracy. Physicians have always been the first to recognize this p ciple. And surely if those who are the high priests of the temple of life do consider thomseives sufficiently wise or good to have this power int~usted ¢o tl the ignorant Javman is absolutely without a case. You may believe if you are a very young person that where this partie Problem concerned a beloved husand, wife, father or mother you might listen But after you have gone with some one you lowe to the outermost edge of ment, an absolute incredulity in the possibility of death ftself. And it is known that this optimism {@ in itself curative; that the man who belleves he going to get well has the better chance, and that he is beneftted by the hop ness of those around him. ‘This person that means so much to me cannot dle,” you say to yo “I have looked into the years ahead of me and I a see my own life without him"—or it may be—“her.' And that feeling, that thought, foolish and unreasonable as it may be, kept many human beings alive, Even the dying have the right to carry their case to the Supreme Court, there is but one which we all acknowledge under different names—duty, life-fo sum of ali the great deeds, epitome of all the great poems, painter of all the pictures, master musician of the whirling spheres—under whatever name we ki it—there only is the court of life and death.
