The statistics of crime lately. pub- lished in the in spite of the increased facilities for the spread of education among the masses that have marked the past ten years, crime and it is being asserted in certain quarters tha out the contentions of educationists in the past, that the moral improvement of the people keeps pace with the spread of intelligence. The constant flow of immigration into the neighbor- ing republic of this question. of the yearly addition from abroad to the population of the United States is composed of the vicious and the ignor‘ ant, for whose condition morally or socially the States are not responsible. Due allow- ance having been made for the items in the criminal statistics submitted, which are causes we have stated, it must be ad- mitted, however, that there is some truth in the charge that the attention that has been given to the promotion of education amongst the people has not been followed by results equal to those pred the intellec is claimed, than the training of the heart, and as a result, vicious tendencies are not being sufficiently guarded against. or, if hereditary, counteracted by careful moral trai result of the system which prevails to so great an extent of parents handing over to the public schools the exclusive charge of education the religious training proper, it is left almost entirely to the Sunday school. The failure of the educational systems of the day institutions of the United to be attributed to the icted. The cultivation of tual powers of the young, it is receiving more attention ning. This is largely the the moral and intellectual of their children. As to to accomplish higher moral results is also to a great extent due to the fact that purer and less selfish motives to duty are action and a higher sense of not cultivated in the young amidst the “cram” of the systems of the day. The desire to surpass com- petitors, to shine in the world, and to earn a l iving without soiling the fingers, is developed rather than an ambition to qualify for the faithful and honest discharge of the duties of life in the sphere which the talents of mind and body given by the Creator entitle the possessor of them to fill. The large supply of the well-educated idle and vicious who haunt our cities and towns, living by their wits rather than supporting themselves by honest labor, is the inevitable outcome of this state of affairs. powerful Knowledge is power, for good when regulated by careful moral and religious training, but terribly powerful for evil when un- controlled by such influence. educated criminal class is to a great extent the product of defective educa- tional methods, is unquestionably true. ‘.,‘__,._‘_._. guacamuu in .i. .
