Judge Maddox, and none with a better record for faith ful service. The Public Schools. Hon. R. U. Hardeman, of New- * ton county, has introduced a bill , in the General Assembly, provid ing for the-levy and collection of a local tax in each county, equal to the amount of school money now received from the state. This bill, if it should become a law, would have the effect to double j the burden of taxation now im posed for school purposes The News enters a protest. 1 I Th re ought to I o some reasonable limit to taxation, even for educa- ' 1 tional purposes. It has been urged in favor of the present public school system 11 " i that it is cheaper to educate the . . . ; 1 children of a community than it is t > capture and co’nvict the crimi nals made so by a lack of educa- i turn. In this connection State j School Commissioner Glenn says: “The people are paying an enorm ous local tax to detect, capture, convict and support the criminals of the county; would it not be better to pay a tax to save our children from becoming criminals? 1 It is cheaper to save a boy and < make him an intelligent and use- : ful member of society than it is ; to allow him to go to the bad and 1 pay for the expense of which he i subjects the county as a crim- . inal.” In answer to this it may be said that in the main the education ! that keeps our boys from going wrong is not of the kind that can bo bought with money; it cannot be obtained in the public schools by the levy of additional tax: it certainly cannot be acquired in the colleges and universities, if all reports of these modern institu tions of learning be true; indeed, the education, the moral training of the child that fits him for future positions of honor and trust, and shapes very largely his future des tiny for good can be learned no where else so well as at a Christian mother’s knee. Such training as this has more to do with a boy’s future than a'l the education to 'be obtained in all the public ’ schools in the state, and without i this early training all the mere j secular education in the world will not prevent him from | going to the had. And that is one objection to our I present public school system. It j seems to develop a desire on the ! part of many parents to shift the j ; responsibility of the early training i ;of their children to the teachers lof the public schools. It ought i not, but to a certain extent it does. Another evidence of this break ing down of tl e old ideas of home rule and home training for the children may be seen in the con stant efforts to pass laws to pre vent dealers from selling minors whiskey, cigarettes, etc. It may be fairly assumed that if the boy has had the proper training at home ' up to that period in Lis life when j he is allowed the liberty of going abroad, he will steer clear of-these pitfalls. If the boy has been 50 lbs. of Coal A day would keep your rooms warm in winter. But that small stove will burn only twenty-five. Hence,discomfort and misery. A certain amount of fat, burned daily, would keep your body warm and healthy. But your digestion is bad, and you don’t get it from ordinary fat food. Hence you are chilly, you catch cold easily, you have coughs and shivers; while pneumonia, bronchitis, or con sumption finds you with no re sistive power. Do this. Burn better fuel.

Our present school system is a very costly and very cumbersome . affair. There are thousands of i people who object to many fea turns of it, as at present conducted, j Before any more money is applied to the schools let the system be put in better shape. Let it be perfected so that the children may receive the full benefit of the $1,250,000 now appropriated before any further steps are taken along that line.
