EDITOR Tin : COXTEUVATIVI : : Just received THE CoxscuvATivn contniuing Prof. French's article on "The Duty of the Public School to De mocracy. " There is little inducement to "get back" at ono who so frankly ad mits the "imperative necessity for pub lic school re-generation and re-construc tion. " "Were the army of "uncompromising opponents" as intense in securing as in "seeking necessities for the child , " there would be no hankering for philosopher's stones. Or were the xeal manifested in trying to locate or shift responsibilities , expended in remedying defects , the dis puted territory of "homo and school responsibility" would not bo worth the effort of conquest. The only way to make "intelligent and righteous citi zens" is. to make them , and to the manu facturer belongs the credit. The opportunity to "talk back" is tempting , but usually newspaper con troversies are more interesting to the participants than to the public. Prof. French merits praise for trying to get out of the ruts , and could I have the pleasure of meeting him , I should enjoy an exchange of opinions. Yours truly , W. S. S. Lincoln , Neb. , June 25 , 15)01. ) POLITICAL. "The ignorant -white voter is as dan gerous when ho stands in front of the ballot-box on the day of election as is the ignorant colored voter , " the Phila delphia Record ( Ind. Dem. ) tells the southern constitution - makers. "The rule that qualifies the unlettered white man and bars the unlettered black man is vicious in principle , and bj' reason of its manifest injustice would settle noth ing if incorporated in the fundamental law. " "There seems to be a settled purpose of the Virginia constitutional conven tion not to submit the new constitution to the people for ratification , " premises the Chattanooga Times ( Dem. ) . "Cer tainly , if the new constitution the Vir ginia convention is forming cannot com mand a majority vote in an open and free election , under the rigid Virginia election law , then that constitution ought never to be put in force.
