Educate Children,
uvery child has a right to such an
education as will qualify for life's
duties. This is recognized as a patri-
otic duty by the state. The perma-
nence of our political institutions de-
rends onthe intelligence of our citi.
zonship. * The bayonets of foreign
soldiers are less te be feared than are
the ballots of ignorant voters.” The
welfare of the state depends more on
the moral and religious training of
her citizens than on their intellectusl
training, yet the state makes no pro-
vision for this moral discipline, In
some cases itmakes it difficult or even
impossible to secure the moral and
religious training of the mind at all,
There must be a training of the moral
sensibilities, particularly the will.
Not all this is the duty of the church,
but the largest part is the function of
home. Every child deprived, by
whatever meane, of this education
and training is defrauded out of an
inalienable right, and when he comes
into the inheritance of his citizenship
may be depended upon to avenge him-
self on the society that perpetrated the
fraud upon bim. In deference to the
views of ipfidels, atheists and
others, the Bible is cast out of the
public schools, and all school books
are stripped bare of everything
that might tend to build up and
strengthen the child’s moral charae-
ter, It is cruelty to withhold from
children this higher and greater train-
ing. Children have rights which the
state is bound to respect. It disre-
gards them at its own peril.

In a dispatch from West Chester,
under date of May 28rd, to the North
American, the following paragraph
appeared :
* Calvin J. Pfrom, pleaded guilty to
a small burglarly in Behuylkill town-
ship, and had served time in the
Western penitentiary and other in-
stitutions. He was sent down for not
less than nine months nor more than
three years, and to pay a fine of §200.”
The Inquirer in its account states
that after Pfromw. had been sentenced
it was shown that he had considerable
property in Centre county. In this
new view of the case the sentence was
corrected and a fine of §200 added.

with his brother-in-law, Milton
Bhuey, at his home on Ewt College

was assisted to his feet he jocularly
remarked, ‘‘ Now what do you know
about that ?”’ He was taken into the

ususl was coming on, whistled and
hummed, endeavoring to ward off the
impending danger, but without avail,
for paralysis of the right side ensued,
