Have you ever considered the
possibility of sickness the loss of
your job or a hundred kindred
misfortunes that might overtake

NIGHT SCHOOLS
Our system of compulsory edu
cation with its attendant juve
nile courts truant officers has
developed a condition in our edu
cational affairs that as difficult
to solve There are a large num
ber of pupils- who are compelled
to labor to support indigent and
dependent parents who cannot
attend Jthe day schools these pu
oils must be educated the prob
lem is how can it best be done
The night school for such pupils
is found to be crude and inade
quate For exemplification of
that contention the following is
submitted
New York Feb 17 The night
schools for children which have
been a feature of the educational
system in New York city for
many years are characterized as
a gigantic blunder in the thir
teenth annual report cf Dr Wil
liam II Maxwell superintendent
of education There are about
90000 pupils enrolled in these
schools iwhich Dr Maxwell
to abolish at once
He dechres he is convinced
that the attempt to give instruc
tions n the ordinary
branches in the evening to boys
and -girls from 14 to 16 years old
is worse than useless
These who are employed dur
ing the day need the evening for
exercise and recreation Only
those who are endowed with un
usual physical strength and un
usual mental energy can after a
hard days- work attend school
four evenings in a week and ben
efit thereby
These boys and girls must be
ofiurvatwl in thr usual ivav with
all of their right to play and oth
er rights reserved to them just
lia cqiniP flI ntlieJ TJUDllS Tlley
must not be forced to work days
and spend their evenings m tne
night school am educational swet

The state of Illinois law more
nearly meets the demand for re
lief than any way yet suggested
It is to say the least- legislation
in the right direcion The fol
lowing extract from a daily pa
pre will give you an insight into
the flaw and its application
The Illinois law pensioning
mothers with children instead of
taking them away breaking up
the home and sending the child
ren to public institutions is
put into effect in Chicago
rw tnnlmr with four children
Wats xrramted 21 month She had
supported thean for sen en years
but the burden was getting great
er than she eould bear She- had
to leave the younger ciMuren
ninnft nil fin ir the others being
forced to go to school -and the
rent bill was greater than she
could pay When she made ap
plication for help and was infor
med that from that time on she
would ibe paid 7 a week for sup
porting each of the three young
er cliildren until they could leave
school and goi to work her jcy
could be expressed im no other
way than in tears her sichs chok
ed her utterance of words The
largest pension so far granted
was -46 a month for the support
of a large family mostly small
children The law is optional but
many counties are adopting it
and dt is said- that many children
will be taken out of institutions
and new homes started
Pensioning the heads of large
families is not without precedent
Let our Jaw makers look into this
matter and provide some wise leg
relation in that direction
