Teaching of Humaneness is a Great
Remedial Step in the Educational
System of the U. S.
When the states of California,
Colorado, Illinois, 'Maine, Massachu-
setts, North Dakota, New Hampshire,
Oklahoma, 'Pennsylvania, South Da-
kota, Texas, Utah and Wyoming pass-
ed laws requiring moral training and
the teaching of humaneness in their
public schools, a great remedial step
an the educational system of the Unit-
ed States was taken. Humaneness
nouhing more nor less thani justice,
and as justice is an indivisible quality
t'here can <be -but one kind for all
•creatures. It is this doctrine of com-
tmon humanity that is being introduc-
ed into our public schools as part
of the regular study course for the
(purpose of making commoni justice
a common practice.
For a long time the schools de-
veloped the intellectual to "the det-
riment of the physical welfare of the
child. This mistake was pointed out,
and the school work widened to in-
clude physical culture. Next, the ap-
palling need for moral instruction
made itself felt. Today, there is rec-
ognition of this need and special, sys-
tematic training in that direction is
'being given in fully one-third of the
public schools in this country. Tbua,
after years o.f experimentation, we
ttiave grasped the fact that character
•building is the foundation of educa-
tion. Strangely enough, what should
foave come first in our educational
system came last.
The Basin of True Culture.
Intellectual attainment is a valua-
ble thing but mere mental virtuosity
without the moral principle to regu-
late though and action does not con-
stitute true culture. 'What shall it j
profit a man- if he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?"
Education, to be complete, should
promote both the moral and mental
growtih of the child. Children should
Ibe taught the efficacy of love, mercy
and consideration in all the ministra- ,
tions of life. The idea that good is
powerful to overcome evil, implanted j
in the child mind, is the acorn
thought which will grow to be a wkle- I
spreading tree of knowledge known!
as universal thought. This human- J
ized thought will construct a king-1
dom of righteousness.
It Is often argued that the school
course is already overcrowded. It is. j
Rut even so, is there anything in the
entire curriculum that is
more toward establishing a firm basis
for civilization. If children can be
taught to understand that it is fair
and square to be humane fn their
daily dealing with even the lowliest
creatures, it is bound" to give them
a higher standard of conduct.
It is difficult to formulate rules by
which this doctrine of kindness may
'be taught. One might as well at-
tempt to make rules for playing the
piano by ear. The unprescrlbed na-

The Iowa papers are insisting that
the soft pedal ought to be put down
on the weather. Every time a wind
storm visits that state the papers di-
late upon the damage. Every snow
storm in winter is manufactured into
a blizzard.
The California papers pick up all
these accounts and dwell on them,
while they are very careful not to
say anything about their own cli-
matic troubles.
A freeze that destroyed the orange
crop is chronicled as only a slight
frost, while a rain storm which pro-
duces a destructive torrent is treated
editorially as a refreshing shower
that insures a bountiful crop.
There is much sense in. this idea

The word has gone out from the
headquarters of the Industrial Work-
ers of the World: —
Put in force "Sabotage.'
Sabotage Is the French term for
the destruction of property.
The anarchists have printed a book,
which instructs the inem'bers of the
Industrial Workers of the World how
to destroy goods which they are hired
to manifacture, how to break machin-
ery and how to ruin, the product
which they are paid to produce.

Scott Found Guilty.
Alexander Scott edits the "Weekly
Issue," an anarchistic sheet in Pater-
son, N\ J.
He ndeavored to "stir the hearts of
his readers to mutiny and rage" by
calling the chief of police the "boss
strike-breaker' and "chief Cossack,"
and the police he dubbed "brass-but-
toend anarchists."
The jury found him guilty of aid-
ing and abetting riot. The maximum
sentence is fiftee years' imprison-
ment or two thousand dollars fine.
All the strike leaders who have been,
conivicted and were given jail sen-
tences have applied for a writ of error
to the state supreme court, and this
operates as a stay of execution. Thus
these men are liberated by the opera-
tion of the very law which they are
denouncing, and by the very courts
which they are trying to abolish.
This is one of the queer phases of
this queer movement.

This is injecting the dog into poli-
tics with a vengeance.
If the militants are resolved to
8top at nothing, what sense Is there
in giving them special consideration.

e to good order, opposed to com-
mon sense, and if the British author-

The <Vuiadian Pacific Railroad Co. i*
Inaugurating u New System for
llandiug it* Apprentices.
They are working at several plans
in Canada for the welfare of employes
that puts all of our efforts to the
blush. The Oklahoinan discusses the
efforts of the Canadian Pacific 'Rail-
way Company which with its vast
army of over seventy thousand em-
ployes, has inaugurated at its Angus
works in Montreal a new ystera for
handling its apprentices. The train-
ing of a young employe begins with
a primary educational course, includ-
ing reading and writing, elementary
arithmetic, geography of the C. P. C.
system, 'biographical sketches of emi-
nent. Canadians, free hand drawing,
punctuality and regularity, thorough-
ness, application, self-reliance, cleau-
llness and thrift. He is then put
through courses of instruction in shop
arithmetic, shop mechanics, shop
practice and' mechanics' drawing,
which enables him upon completion
of his apprenticeship to qualify as a
skilled mechanic. Then,4f necessary,
'he may take advantage of the ad-
vanced classes in mechanics, electric-
ity, locomotive and car construction
and workshop practice.
The practical work of the 'boys In
the workshops is carried on under
the direction of skilled shop Instruc-
tors. The educational side of the
training is carried on in a room set
apart for the purpose, equipped with
desks, tables, blackboards, cupboards,
etc. The apprentices attend the In-
struction classes during working
■hours, and for the time thus spent
the boys are paid their regular wages.
In order to encourage the deserving
apprentices, the company donates
each year a scholarship to the ten
•best apprentices. These scholarships
consist in complete courses in me-
chanical and electrical engineering,
following the courses of the Interna-
tional Correspondence Schools, but
taught by the company's own Instruc-
tors. The company also awards two
scholarships, tenable for four year9
at McGlll university. The holders
of these McGlll university scholar-
ships are employed by the company
during vacation and receive remuner-
ation for their service. The system
adopted by the company in its treat-
ment of employes is said to havs
worked out very successfully, with
i the gratifying result that the most
amicable relations exist between the
management and the men, who aro
encouraged to remain in the service.
