institute and argue a controversial subject a question that the best people differ upon and upon which he speaks ex cathedra, as if it was knowledge that should be a part of our educational outfit. The question of .fortifying the canal involves the strongest sentiments affecting the world's peace, and discussing it before an institute has a very close relation to jingoism. There is so much of real educational problem to solve, that we should never wander off into public questions that are still in controversy. Humanity is receding is the alarm sounded by Dr. Eliot. Has education anything to do with that? Wherein are the schools at fault?Are we doing the best we can? These are issues that great educators should attend to before talking the Panama fortification question.

"THERE IS NO UNBELIEF'

Wasting Good Citizenship Monday the Richmond public schools will open for the fall term and practically every boy and girl in the city of school age will be enrolled. The law requiring the attendance at school of all children under sixteen years of age was amended by the last legislature to make it more drastic and this law, Truant Officer Bishop states, will be rigorously enforced. However, it is sad to relate, there are many communities in this great republic where boys and girls of school age will be denied the privilege of entering schools. The National Child Labor committee estimates their number at a million. Big Business wants them. The future of the United States depends upon its citizenship, therefore it is discouraging to think that this year a million young American

boys and girls will be taken away from their studies where they receive their training in civic duties, to work in factories and other occupations undesirable for children. Secretary Owen of the Child Labor committee states that all of the girls and nine-tenths of the boys who become the pitiful hirelings of these miserable low-wage industries remain unskilled laborers all of their lives. Think of that, you citizens with the interests of your country at heart a million boys and girls this year to be deprived of the right they are theoretically entitled to in this republic, a free education to equip them to make the best of their opportunities in their life's work. Mr. Owen concludes his vitally important report as follows : "Mr. Lovejoy estimates that about one-half of those now at work under sixteen in all occupations are white American children, one or both of whose parents are native born. American families are as ready as foreign families to let children enter the factory before they are sixteen. The Connecticut State commission, in a study of more than 11,000 women and girls representing fourteen racial groups, found a larger percentage of Americans with American fathers among the workers under sixteen than among the older workers. "The latest volume of the Federal report on the condition of woman and child wage earners makes a similar showing. Of the twenty-eight racial groups into which the 93,000 workers are divided, only four races, involving less than onetenth of the total, had a larger percentage of workers under sixteen than the native white Americans. Of all the workers of all races studied in twenty-three industries in seventeen States, one in twelve was under sixteen years ; of the American workers, in the same industries and the same States, one in eleven was under sixteen. "The National Child Labor Committee suggests that in the light of the widely recognized evils of factory work for young people, it would be well for all industrial States to consider following the example of Ohio which has just put into operation a "law forbidding employment in factories and several other occupations to boys and girls under sixteen years."

There is no unbelief; Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod And waits to see it push away the clod He trusts in God. There is no unbelief; Whoever says, when clouds are in the sky, "Be patient, heart; light breaketh by and by," Trusts the Most High. There is no unbelief; Whoever sees, 'neath winter's field of snow, The silent harvest of the future grow God's power must know. There is no unbelief; Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep. Content to lock each sense in slumber deep, Knows God will help. There is no unbelief; Whoever says "tomorrow," "the unknown," "The Future," trusts that power alone He dares disown. There is no unbelief; The heart that looks on when the eyelids close,. And dares to live when life has only woes, God's comfort knows. There is no unbelief; For thus by day and night unconsciously The heart lives by the faith the lips deny. ' God knoweth why. Lizzie York Case.

Editor Palladium I will greatly ap-" predate your kindness if you will publish this article, which may be a help to some one. Well, the carnival Is here, just across the way from the place where one of the best and instructive Chautauquas was ever held, but, oh, what a difference between the two! Now we have nothing to say in regard to the shows on the gronud; they are seemingly clean and well conducted, but the influence seems to be tending toward evil, for it is used as a meeting place for poople, both married and single.

The Battle. There is no doubt but what "The Battle" is the greatest play that haa been seen in Richmond in many a day and the Francis Sayles players are packing the Murray theatre at each performance. The play is well staged and the members of the company are all excellent in their parts. "The Battle" will be presented again tonight, also tomorrow afternoon and night..

'GUESSING INTO THE STATION."

A railway engineer some years ago was questioned by Rudyard Kipling as to the risks of American railway travel. "Sometimes," said this engineer, "we guess ourselves into the station and sometimes we guess ourselves into hell." Running a railroad by guesswork persists still in the New Haven Railroad's management. The guesses that did not get the trains into the station have been so frequent and so appalling in their consequences that the still later consequences in legislation are bound to be far reaching and drastic. It happens that the connection between the NewHaven wrecks and the late New Haven policy of inflated finance has been presented to the eyes of all intelligent men. The people have seen what financial "incentive" in

the management of public service corporations may lead to. They have noted the squandering of money, at the expense of good service, at the very time when the financiers have been protesting that the railroads could not afford rate reductions and service improvements. It is not to be imagined that the public will let recent.tnent at one railroad's misdeeds lead them into injustice to all railroads. But it is quite certain that the New Haven lesson will fortify the policies of railroad regulation, and of control of stock transactions, and of the abolishment of interlocking directorates.

JOHN BULL IS GENEROUS. Cleveland Plain Dealer. In return for concessions on the Persian gulf Great Britain proposes to give Germany the African possessions of Portugal. John Bull's generosity is simply appalling.

FORTIFICATION AND EDUCATION

The following is a paragraph from an account of the work of the Cleveland teachers' institute: He - ( Prof essor Fess) declared that the canal would be fortified in such a manner as to become the Gibraltar of America and doubly safeguard the Monroe doctrine and American territory. He also defended the government's right to fortify the canal regardless of Great Britain's protests. There is no man in the state who is more worthy of esteem than Professor Fess, and we hate to criticise him,

A SMILE OR TWO

"Yes, I lost my friend." "How was that?" "We agreed to be perfectly frank with each other." "Yes?" "Well, I got in my criticism first." Cleveland Plain Dealer.

"The Havoc." Paul Gilmore's "The Havoc" a play by H. S. Sheldon which ran all last season in New York, will be the engagement at the Gennett theatre Mon

day, September 8. This strong drama has gained especial distinction because of the fact that it presents a new treatment of the "triangle" problem. Its very title is due to Its uncompromising revelation of "The Havoo" that remains when the flames of a guilty passion have burned away. From the wreck of domestic happiness thus created there emerges a central figure of the sincerest strength, the husband of the story's faithless wife, and the daring novelty of an old theme's new handling is found in this husband's action when he discovers that his wife has a lover and instantly adopts a means of punishment far

more effective than an appeal to "the unwritten law." "The Havoc" is produced by players specially chosen for high artistic quality.
