Everybody is entitled to what is justly his due. no matter what his character is. or ,what cause he espouses or represents. . The Champion of Fair Play, in its issue of the ninth instant, speak- ing of the small attendance at a recent annual convention of the Naticmal Union of Coopers, says: “The coopers are bitterly opposed to the temperance movement be- cause it has reduced the demand for whiskey and beer barrels. and they will pass resolutinns on this subject.” These ends are all right within certain limits. But none of them is the highest and truest purpose of the public school system Given equal protection with public aid to the unfortunate, and ' sur-‘ vival of the fitest" is. the true principal of self support. The same assertion; we believe, holds true in regard to culture. ';And so. also in regard to the satisfaction that may come to an individual from the acquisition of knowledge; , On what grOund then may the public be taxed enough to give: every child in the land sufficient education to make him or her a first class citizen of the Republic. Self-protection is the general’ferm to cover the right of the. govern- ment to tax the people any reasonable amount to accomplish the purpose in the best possible 'way. Education is not only an important factor in perpetuating good government but it is a sine qua non. The summer vacation is again over. The school, house doors are thrown open wide; The throng of your: people are daily seen going, to and fro between home and school room. So come, mori is this in every village and hamlet of this land that most of us hardly give it a passing thought. Indeed we may reasonably doubt, if the question were putto them direct. whether there are not many people in every community who have no clear idea whether our system of popular education is for giving the rising generation a better chance to earn a living; 3 or to make them more cultured; ‘ or to acquire knowledge for the sake of knowing more. ’ Subscripdon, 31.50 a Year 5c per Copy Eumnhuh Pm 05a, Haw; pm BTH' SHOE S- LETTE SATURDAY, 8311118, 1909 R.
