Taft of Yale university, former president of the United States, speaking before the depart ment of superintendence of the Na tional Education association here to day, said: "The cause of free public education Is more sacred and of more fundamental importance than almost any other before our people. It Is one that awakens tha profound interest of the people and com mands the greatest and most willing self- sacrifice, by the tax paying public.' Tha consequence of this feryor is that our school systems are not : so much scru tinized as they should be. Indeed, it is now difficult for the people of a com munity to . leant the facts as to the thoroughness, of the discipline and of the knowledge imparted In thslr schools or of economy Jn tho expenditure . of their funds dovoted to education. Parents are themselves not qualified to past upon the result or a public school system in a town, county or district in such a way as to make their opinion theltest criterion. Hence, there Is great opportunity for fustian and shoddy in tha production concealed under a cloak of a pretentious curriculum and- glowing annual reports. - Opportunity for Standardisation. "What wo need in the country is an opportunity for standaridatlon and com parison of achool systems ir the different states and different cities. This I think wo might have by establishing what Washington recommended a national university Jn Washington. "Tho bureau of education 'might welt bo enlarged into a university which should not be a teaching university, but one with .a corps of experts who could offer to the people of all the states and the people of all local communities tha opportunities of having their respective school systems examined and reported upon as to proper scope, efficiency and thoroughness. The same should hold periodical examinations In ' convenient parts of' the country which any person might, upon payment ot a small foe. ?4 a . taw PO aaav r ..V-..-' i Will $V M H REMOVAL ITEM: Sept. 7th, 1840: Paper at St. Louig ' n fit g j AH I ment,on the arrivd there of Indians from Ohio.
