Should the JSUte -Educate .
A Kcvlew of Judge Tenrgss's Article,
Aaren's neil in rauua,- in ins
North American for February.
Fer the IXTKLLIOKKCEB.
Old superstitions die hard, and possibly
the last te die will be th3 popular belief in
the efficacy of state agency te accomplish
moral and material geed.
The mind of man is naturally conserva
tive, simply through ignorance. Intelli
gence is always revolutionary it can see
the ills we suffer and devise a remedy ; it
is restive, because it feels, impatient be
cause it suffers. Intelligence would des
pair had it net the highest faith. Knewing
that society is an organism, a growth, a
development, the philosopher bides his
time for the ideal ; yet, at the same time
hastens the coming of a mere perfect se
cial state, by brave words of advice and di
rectien te his contemporaries. Ou the
ether hand,ignorance, taught by precedent
and custom, leeks upon society as a some
thing manufactured, and therefore bows
slavishly before the supposed manufac
turer, governmental action and legislative
control.
Wee unto the man who dare question
the authority of precedent. The same in
tellectual and moral motive that led te
persecution in the olden times obtains new
the barbarous instinct te dominate and
the egotism of self-complacent infalli
bility. Here and there the calm thinker can be
feuud who dares question old superstitions
and tries the foundation support of old be
liefs. Thcbest thinking of the day id teaching
us new ideas of government, and se viewing
state agency as te take fiem it the wor
ship of subserviency. Cropping out in our
periodicals, newspapers and public ad
dresses, we find timid questionings of
the divine right of government,
while the ponderous logic of the
advanced philosopher boldly thunders
at the gates of superstition and demands
surrender.
The recent aitiulcs of Richard Grant
White, in the New Yerk Times, criticising
the efficiency of our common schools, pro
voked only a well-bred sneer from the ed
itorial utterance but the sneer did net
answer the charge. Se, men like Spencer,
Jehn Fiske and indirectly new light in
the literature of political economy Henry
Geerge boldly question the right aaH duty
of state education, or as in the case of the
latter author, de net find cure for human
ills in the present system of instruction.
And no one has yet answered these men.
Still here and there a high priest of super
stition and custom must needs net hear,
but mounts the rostrum or seizes the pen
te speak or y rite for favors from the pre
judice of the hour.
In the last number of the 2ferth Amer
ican Review is an aciicle from Judge Tour
gee, entitled "Aaren's Red in Politics "
the " Red " which swallows up all ether
questions in his opinion beiug national ed
ucation through national aid.
His idea is that a fund should be set
apart by the general government for the
purpose of educating the masses, and that
this fund should be distributed among the
various states in proportion te their illiter
acy. Se far as Judge Teurgee's plan of
distribution is concerned little can be said,
nor. indeed, have we any criticism te make
save the general one, Should the state ed
ucate at all ?
We might say in passing, that national
education, ignoring te a certain extent the
state's suppeded care of citizens, tends te
a species of centralization, quite en the
par with the proposed scheme of giving
the general government control of rail
ways and telegraph lines. But aside from
this, which may be considered the politi
cal side of the question, we purpose new
te merely leek at the abstract right
or duty of the nation or states te educate
the masses.
1. The primary, iu fact the only func
tion of government, is te maintain the
rights of citizens te euferce equity be
tween man and man. Beyond this gov
ernment has no right te go. Government
then has a right te take se much of a
man's property as it will cost te maintain
his rights or te administer equity between
him and his fellow. But educating a man's
children or ethers' children is net main
taining rights, and therefore we may con
clude that in taking property, in the shape
of taxes, for this purpose, government is
doing a wrong. As a matter of political
morality hew can government tax its citi
zens for the purpose of maintaining a
function it has no right te and which it
cannot properly or advautagoeusly exert ?
Aside from the evil effects state education
has upon the individual (which we will
notice further ou), we are met at the very
threshold of our inquiry by the denial of
any right inherent in government te -tax,
save for the specific purpose of maintain
ing individual rights, and hence the con
clusion that any tax for school purposes is
essentially unjust.
2. Assuming for the sake of the argu
ment that the state should educate, why
net be logical and 6ay further that the
state should give us a religion, should
feed the hungry aud clothe the naked. It
is rank heresy te say a word about state
schools, but we would lift up our hands
in holy horror if Governer Heyt should
recommend in a message the setting aside
a fund for a grand cathedral ; and yet we
might answer the horror-stricken citizen
with theremark, we need religion as well
as education.
Se, tee, we hear the voices of 'the hun
gry millions burdening the air ; the rags
of squalor brush the purple of the mil
lionaire ; in the grand march of civiliza
tion the poorhouse rears its front beside
the brownsteno mansion of the moneyed
king ; in the back streets of our cities and
in the tenement houses of our metropolis,
Want, gaunt with despair, cries for aid.
New is it net mere important for the
safety of commonwealths that Plenty
should bring contentment and peace than
that the citizen should read ? Is it net
quite as important that blind aud igno
rant Socialism should net, spurred by
Want, overturn what it cannot replace ?
Then why should net government insist
upon a fair distribution of wealth and
make its citizens geed and contented by
filling their stomachs with bread? Then,
tee, irreligien is running riot through
the land willing ears listen te the wetds
of Ingcrsell and drink in the agnosticism
of modern thinkers. Why, then, en the
tame plea we make for education, should
we net have a state church ? If the im
portance of education make it a state duty
te iustruct, surely the importance of being
well fed, well clothed and well housed
should turn the state into a baker, tailor
and carpenter. We very wisely object te
this latter interference why net logically
te state education ?
3. Anether plea, and the great one the
advocates of state education make, is that
It is necessary for society te protect itself
against ignorance, and public schools must
be regarded as a part of our police
system, just as prisons, &c, are part
of social machinery te protect us from
crime. In reference te this we quote the
words of Herbert Spencer : "Fer what
is meant by saying that the government
should educate the people ? Why should
they be educated? What is education
for ? Clearly te fit the people for social
life te make them geed citizens? And
who is te make them geed citizens? The
government ; there is no ether judge. And
who is te say hew these citizens are te be
made? The government; there is no
ether judge. Hence the preposition is
convertible into this a government ought
te mould children into geed citizens, using
its own discretion iu settling what a geed
citizen is, and hew the child inav be
meulded into one. It must form for itself
a definite conception of a pattern citizen ;
and having done this, must elaborate such
system of discipline as seems best calculated
te produce citizens after that pattern."
The absurdity of the whole thing is seen
at a glance, aud the total inability of our
public schools thus far te make a fraction
of a citizen shows their inefficiency is but
natural. The most learned graduate of
our common or normal schools votes no
mere intelligently aud has no higher con
ception of duty or patriotism than the un
lettered negre who sells his vote for a
shilling.
"AH institutions have an instinct of
self-preservation growing out of the sol
fishness of these connected with them.
Being djepmident for their vitalitr upon
the continuance of existing arrangements,
they naturally upheld these. Their roots
are in the past and present ; ucver in the
future. Change threatens them, modifies
them, eventually destroys them ; hence te
change they are uniformly opposed."
Hew true is this of our public schools !
With the exception of externals they have
made no advance iu 100 years. A new
idea would startle themtheir safety is in
their conservatism hence hew de they
protect the state? Can a child be made an
intelligent citizen when he is never taught
a single idea of government or has never
shown him the beauty and glory of patri
etism? Can he have any correct idea of
duty and of his relation te society when
he is taught no system of ethics save the
barbarisms in the law of Moses ? The very
constitution of our country cannot be read
in our schools, much less studied for edu
cation by the state must b3 partisan. The
absurdity of a protective tariff revolves
around the dying light of Henry C.
Carey's thought, but the schools of Penn
sylvania must worship error bscausa
Philadelphia provincialism is supported
by a party.
Oxford was the last placj te acknowl
edge the authority of Newton's philoso
phy. Grave Oxford Dens solemnly de
bated about allowing Lecke " On the
Human Understanding" te be read in their
colleges, and concluded te banish him !
As late as Shelley's time " chemtstrywas
a forbidden tliinjc ' at Eten ! This is the
history of government schools te lag be
hind intelligence and represent average
prejudice.
State education must be, te a large ex
tent, partisan in its tendency. The pub
lic school system is bound te be affected
by local or state feeling. Frem the hum
ble teacher te the state superintendent all
are supposed te be directly interested in
that particular power which creates thttm,
and se cither directly or indirectly the
school is used te make a particular kind
of citizen, one holding special political
vicw3. Seme time ab an editorial ap
peared in the Chicago Times, which was
copied largely in the press at large, en
titled " Why the coming young mau is net
a Democrat" or something te this effect.
The reason assigned is that every school
boy of the North is confronted by school
books which arc intended te make him a
Republican. The horrors of Andcrson Andcrsen
vilie and Libby prison, the sheeting of
Ellswerth, the assassination of Liuceln,
etc., are made texts te excite passion. The
school readers arc filled with the poetry of
the war and in many ether ways indirectly
Republicanism is taught. On the ether
hand, turning te Judge Teurgce's article,
we find him saying, after stating the
general tone of Southern feeling, "It is net
surprising that the books whiokire pre
scribed, even for the coleicd schools of the
Seuth by the state officials, are largely oc
cupied in demonstrating te the children of
emancipated parents the righteousness of
that confederacy whose corner-stone was
slavery, and the unhelincss of that gov
ernment which oppressed, exasperated aud
finally overpowercd ' the Seuth."
Frem these two sources we then glean
the fact that Northern state schools are
trying te make Republicans and the South
ern schools, rebels. As a remedy for
these ills Judge Teurgce would bring the
general government te the work, get it te
make it a model for a citizen, and then
grind out books and systems of education
te make this much desired individual.
Again, state education is wrong in that
its lessens individual responsibility. In
the grand struggle of life it is man's per
sistent energy against the obstacles of bis
environment which makes him strong and
successful. Lessen his energy and thought theught
fulness and te that extent you weaken him.
Educate his children and he will never in
quire what kind of education they are get
ting or make any endeavor te better the
common school.
There doubtless would be a better moral
ity taught and tenderer home training if
parents had net the chance te shift indi
vidual responsibility, and let their children
be taught religion by proxy at the Sunday-school.
The fend parent is forced by
custom te support the Sunday-school that
it is the proper thing te de and never steps
te inquire into the oft shallew-mindcdness
of the average Sunday-school teaeher. S j
state education, by relieving the parent,
lessens his care and forethought, and se
the school becomes a mechanical something
contemptible in its conservatism.
Ne cunningly devised apparatus of
statesmen can equal the beautiful arrange
ments of nature. Let the parent-alone, let
him be guided by his instincts, and he will
educate his children better than can the
state. The Hen. Auberen Herbert in an
article in The Feitnightly Retieie, speaking
en this subject of education, opposes state
agency for another reason " that the
forced payments (te support schools) taken
from ether classes place the workman un
der obligations ; that in consequence, the
upper and middle classes interfere in the
education of his children ; that under a
political system there is no place for his
personal views, but that practically the
only course left open te him is te join one
of the two parties who are already organ
ized in opposition te each ether." Se
after all the " peer man's college " marks
a class distinction and se f;tr as they place
the peer man under obligation they
lower his manhood and arc anti-democratic.
Many mere objections could be and have
been brought against state education, and
as time rolls ou we are mero and mera
awake te its inefficiency. If the parents
have net wisdom te educate their chil
dren as an individual matter, hew in
the name of common sense can any one
suppose that an aggregation of parents,
called an American Congress, can devise a
machine te raalft geed citizens ! This is
the answer te the whole question.
But, bays some one, will net the educa
tion the parent gives be as narrow as that
the state gives? Will net such parental
education be mere controlled by church
narrowness, &c. ?
We answer in the name of the author
we have already quoted Auberen Her
bert : " I prefer te see intensity of convic
tion, even if joined te some narrowness, te
a state of moral and intellectual sleepiness,
and children waiting te be fed with such
scanty crumbs as fall from official tables."

A Brether's Leve.
An L'xtraerdlnarjr Story of Self-Sarrillce
A
Ulan JMearly uies or starvation in
Washington.
The Washington correspondent of the
Bosten Herald relates the following :
"Yesterday afternoon a well dressed
man, of a very geed appearance, entered
the war department, and ascending te the
elevator en the second fleer, alighted.
When in front of the secretary's deer he
was seen te stagger, ana then tan help
lessly en the marble tiling. He was feuud
te be uuconscieus, and was carried by the
messengers te an adjoining room aud
laid" en the lounge. Dr. Lewe, from
up stairs, was summoned, and as seen
as he .saw the unconscious stranger he
at once said, ' Why the man is starving.'
He had partially regained his conscious
ness, but was still in a stupor. The doc
tor at ence called for brandy, which the
man at first refused te take, as it was af
terwards found from temperance scruples.
A glass of diluted brandy was, hewct cr, i
placed te his mouth, and his jaws closed t
upon ig witn sucn ierce as te ncany snattcr
thc glass. A sandwich was then eflered
him, which he seized with avidity, and
was about te swallow it all without mas
tication when he was prevented. The
sandwich was fed te him in small piece?,
which he ate like a famished beast,
aud then a second sandwich. He was
then fed with some oyster soup aud !
removed up stairs, where he at er.ee
went te sleep. He awoke in the course of an
hour, feeling much better but still weak.
The doctor said that he was suffering
from irritation of the stomach, caused by
the gastric juice working en the walls of
his stomach. He was in a stage of star
vation, and his pulse had run down te 42.
After he had recovered sufficient strength
te talk, he told the circumstances by which
he had been reduced te such a condition.
At the same time he evinced great anxiety
that the matter should net be made pub
lic. His conversation showed him te be a
man of education and culture, as his clothes
indicated. He said that he belonged te
a respectable family residing near Bos Bes Bos
eon. He had been in the army during the
war, and lest an arm in the service. Since
the war he has been practicing medicine
in his native town, but, becoming unpop
ular for the decided stand he took en the
temperance question, he determined te
come te this city and begin the practice
of medicine here. At the same time he
applied for a clerkship in the war depart
ment His sister, an invalid, accompanied
him and they reside en Seventh street,
where he opened an office. Soen after his
arrival his funds began te fail, and he had
no means of replcnishimr them. He found
that he could net purchase feed enough
for both, and se invented an excu&e
for net citing with his sister
that he get his meals down town. This
device worked well, and his sister was
completely deceived. He brought home
feed for her te eat but was slowly starving
himself. Yesterday he spent his last i
money m the purchase et a bone, from
which his sister made soup but he refused
te cat any. He said that the night before
he had attended a meeting of a Masonic
ledge, but was tee prejAlp'reveal his con
dition and ask for MIk Jlis appearance
and manner gave the impress of truth te
his statement. His war record was looked
up and found te be an honorable one.
His case was brought te the attention of
the secretary of war, and be appointed him
te a clerkship in the surgeon-general's
office. The circumstance excited great in
terest iu the department."
