CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER
FREE BOOKS So 'generally has the education of the child come to be
FOR SCHOOLS regarded through the country as a matter of genuine im
portance to the state that everywhere libraries are being placed within reach
even in the. smallest and most remote districts of the several states.
There is now hardly any excuse for the child who really wants an educa
tion to grow up illiterate. There is no reason for him to have to travel for
miles to return a book as old Abe Lincoln did in the days when books were
few and far between. Now every child has a library within his reach.' Even
most families have small libraries of their own that the child has access to
daily. The schools of the country have come to regard it as a necessary part
of the course and a feature of the regular school work.
Superintendent Gary's apportionment of the funds that the authorities
oi the county and state place in his hands under the provisions of the school
laws and his setting aside of 10 cents per capita for the education of a li
brary fund is another step in the same general direction. The books that are
placed within the reach of every child of the county give that child an edu
cation that would be beneficial to him in his after life were no other form
of training given to him in his school work. The library is a great factor
in the education of the child as it is in the education and broadening of the
man more developed and matured.
Free books are to be expected within a few years in every school district
of the state. The growth of the libraries that are fostered by the state and
county and the development of" the other education advantages that are given
to the children will show what can be done when once the authorities take
the matter in hand and place the educational opportunities that they offer
within the reach of all.
Within a few years, the text books for which the head of the family now
nearly bankrupts himself to buy every year will be bought by the people of
the school district or the county in which he lives. The man who does not
have children, who has contributed nothing to posterity and has done no
good for his state, will be forced to contribute his share of the expense of
the education of the children of the man who has. A child is a contribution
to the posterity, it is an offering to the state. We have grown back to that
old idea that prevailed in the days of the ancient Greeks and Romans that

Press Association.
a -man belongs to the state and his life is the property of that power to do
with as it wills. . " -
- To make that life of the most value to the state that it serves, the people
have pushed their system of education forward by rapid stages and have given
it freely to every child who has the ambition to take its opportunities and
every parent who has the realization of its importance to- that child.
Following this, the free text book is another step in the same direction
and merely another move in the principle that the state must have its citizens
trained and the better trained they are, the better will be the condition of
that state. Where knowledge rules are the people of any country really free.
There only do they know how to use the freedom that has been given to them
by the centuries of history through which their nation or their race has passed.
In Oregon City, the free text book has already become a popular move.
The man who owns his home, pays his taxes, sends his children to school and
meets the other attendant expenses of a household feels that the man who does
not do these things and who has contributed less to society than he has is hav
ing the better of the bargain. He believes that it is only right that the man
who has no children should be made to pay for the education of the man
who has. - -
In this way, a tax would be placed upon bachelors and upon all men with
out families. If a man regards it as a priviledge that he has to be without
the worries of the head of a household, he should be made to pay for that
priviledge and contribute something, in that way, to the state to which he
contributes nothing else.
On instance of the tax that the purchase of text books places upon the
man with a family happened during the first days of school when a house
holder of Oregon City dug down in his pockets for $20 for school books alone
for the children of his house.' It was worse to him than the same amount
voud have been paid in taxes directly, for it came at a time when he felt the
books had been unnecessarily changed and when he saw how other men were
relieved of the necessity for this unusual expenditure.
. Free books, free education, free training all tend to a better citizenship.
The higher that citizenship is, the greater is its ability to realize and appro
priate the blessings of science and history that have been given to it and the
wiser and more beneficient will be its laws and the happier in general its peo
ple. -
CHRISTIANITY Press dispatches "a few days ago announced from Se
AND SUICIDE attle that a highly educated and talented Japanese woman
who had begun the study of the Christian religion had, shortly afterwards,
cut the throat of her 18-rhonths-old baby daughter and attempted to take her
own life.
Back of that story there is a mystery of. some kind, that has not yet been
solved. There was evidently, some other story behind the motive that led to
the act. There was another reason that has not yet been revealed and which
the husband of the woman has not yet discovered. Just what it was may
always remain a mystery. "
Surely no study of the Christian religion would ever lead a woman to
commit the crime that she committed shortly after she began its study. There
is certainly nothing in the Bible that has blessed Christianity that could ever
lead to the commission of any crime or that could so pervert the mind of a
mother as to take the life of her own child simply because of its study.
On the other hand, the very principle's that were taught to that woman
in the Book that she read were diametrically opposite to the act that followed
from it. "Thou shalt not kill," is as old as the ancient hyroglyphics of
Egypt and come down to us through the vista of years with that same em
phatic command and impressive strength that it carried to the people of
Israel, when it was first thundered from the mount in' the wilderness in the
days when Moses was leading his people out of the bondage and into the
Promised Land.
All of the way through the Book that she read in he, hunt for the
principles of the Christianity that she studied is that teaching which she con
sistently violated when she took the life of her child and of herself. Only in
the old Mosaic law is there the principle of an eye for an eye and a tooth
for a tooth that comes dolvn to us in the relic of those days when ' capital
punishment was one of the features of the age, but its other teachings do not
even suggest the commission of a crime unless that crime follows one that is
committed1 in the face of law.
It is useless to contend that she acted as she did through any thing that
she may have studied in her search for the truth of the new teaching. It
is more useless to argue that the new teaching she studied gave her the mo
tive for the crime. There is back of that crime some other motive that hasj
not yet appeared, something that has not come to the surface even with the
investigations that have been conducted and the information that her husband
may be able to furnish.
It would be intertesting to learn just what that motive was. Her state
ments in the hospital "My new God, have mercy on me and let me die for
my baby," contain a certain significance, but yet shed no' light upon the
mystery that surrounds the act. -

THE NAVY SHOULD BE A GREAT UNIVERSITY, WITH COLLEGE
EXTENSION, HIGH SCHOOL EXTENSION AND PRIMARY EX
TENSION ALL ON BOARD SHIP. EVERY SHIP SHOULD BE A
SCHOOL, AND EVERY OFFICER SHOULD BE A SCHOOLMASTER. IN
THIS WAY WE CAN GIVE THE YOUNG MAN HIS RIGHTFUL CHANCE
TO BETTER HIS POSITION AND AT THE SAME TIME BENEFIT THE
NAVY BY INCREASING THE KNOWLEDGE AND USEFULNESS OF
ITS PERSONNEL.
It is not easy to secure the full complement of young men of character
needed each year to man our ships. To stimulate enlistments it has been
necessary to restort to recruiting stations, traveling recruiting parties and
advertisements.
Only in exceptional cases has the navy been making good its promises.
I found that it was only the young man of EXCEPTIONAL MERIT
AND ABILITY or with unusual determination to learn a useful trade
who wa.s really getting the kind of instruction which all who enlisted had
been led to believe would be afforded them. I decided then that either
the navy must stop publishing such advertisements or else IT MUST
GIVE THE YOUNG MAN ALL-THAT THE ADVERTISEMENTS
PROMISE." " . - - '
TO ESTABLISH ON EACH SHIP A SCHOOL OF INSTRUCTION
FOR THE ENLISTED MAN IS MY AIM AT PRESENT. THESE SHIP
SCHOOLS SHOULD BE OPEN NOT EXCLUSIVELY TO THE EXCEP
TIONAL MAN, BUT TO EACH YOUNG MAN ON BOARD. "
I purpose that every young man who enlists shall be given at the
outset an opportunity to CHOOSE FOR HIMSELF WHAT LINE
OF TRAINING HE WISHES TO PURSUE.

be an apprentice. I told him that it
meant the binding of one person to an

son so bound had to teach the other all
he could of bis. trade or profession,
while the other had to watch and learn
how things were done and had to make
himself useful in every way possible."
