Criticism of
BY H. H. BELT.
MANY criticisms have recently ap
peared In print concerning the
many alleged weaknesses of our
modern public school system, so a word
In its defense by one who Is engaged
In the teaching profession may not be
amiss. It Is really surprising how many
there are who feel competent to criticise,
and yet in their eager desire to find fault
and appear learned, fail to point out the
path that leads to better results. Edward
Bok and Luther Burbank find time to
express their disapproval of the present
dav education, but I imagine if some poor
pedagogue were to tell the great editor
how to write his editorials, or tell the
wizard of the South" how to Improve
his potato, he would be ridiculed without
mercy for talking about something of
which he knew nothing. The teacher, per
haps, finds some consolation in the fact
that men are two, those who do things
and those who are ever complaining be
cause It Is not done In some other way
his way.
No doubt there is room for improve
ment. Perfection in any profession is
never reached. It is probably true that
we have tolerated too many educational
frills," or have failed to emphasize the
practical problems met in everyday life,
but I sincerely believe the great educa
tional movement has been in the right
direction and is keeping pace with the
material progress of the world. Never
before in the history of the world has
the boy er girl had the many splendid
opportunities for intellectual, moral and
physical growth. The people have de
manded a more practical education, and
the "new education Is the result.
By lueans of the manual training and
domestic science departments, the dlg
nitv of labor Is being emphasized. The
pupil todav is taught "to work with the
ha:;d. as well as to think with the head."
The bov is led to belie that It is dig
nified to work. The girl is taught that
It is as Important to cook and sew as
!t is to work proiileins or analyze sen
tences. What coul. I be more practical?
W.-re thr:-e ndv;ntjiges to oe had In "ye
olden days"? Yet the Incessant howl of
the critic Is heard on every hand. I
am ot!n;'.-;i'- enough to believe that
with the increased amount of money we
are spending each year on the public
school system, the longer terra of school
Hint is being maintained in the rural
districts, the better trained teachers en
;.;.:ng ill ttie profession, we have made
great ai! nncenient. If not. then what
a vast amount of misdirected and wasted
energv. We had belter turn back to the
g.- of the "three IN.".
We might well pattern after the old
time schools In some respects, but as a
whole the education that served Its pur
pone for the father will not suffice for
the sou. The educational world has
changed, even if it ia hard for some
persons to realize it.' I hare heard a
fiither say: "l only had three months
of schooling when I was a boy. and
what's good enough for me Is good
enough for Johnnie." This man would
not think of using the same antiquated
farming Implements that he used when
he was a boy. yet he would have the
teacher use the same methods, and. no
doubt, the same kind of books that
were used when he went to school. Let
tis he progressive In school matters as
in all things else.
In what way can we Improve our
educational system? This should be
the question of vital importance. If
our course of study is wrong, and I am
not willing; to concede that it is. then
tempted to commit a felony during the.
term of said license.
Section 4 It shall be the duty of
any person In said state owning or In
the possession of. or having under his
or her control any weapon mentioned
or described In section two of this

by the Governor. It shall also be the

Section 5 It shall be the duty of the

lice of cities In the State of Oregon
to properly divide their respective
jurisdictions Into districts In order that
the same may be properly canvassed,
and to cause and to authorize in writ
ing any Sheriff. Chief of Police and
other officers under their control re
spectively, duly authorized by law to
make arrests, to visit all persons with
in their respective Jurisdictions and
ascertain the names and places of resi
dence of all persons who are or may
hereafter be the owner or In the pos
session of. or have the control, directly
or Indirectly of any such weapon or
weapons mentioned or described in
section two of this chanter, and also
whether or not such person or persons
respectively are duly licensed, as In
this chapter provided. If such p?rson or
persons shall be found to be In the pos
session of any such weapon or weapons
mentioned or described In section two of
this chapter to report the fact In
regard to the same In writing to such
p rson a may have authorized them,
which shall be reported by such last
mentioned person to the County
Court having Jurisdiction thereof
and to take into their possession re
spectively all such weapons as they may
bo able to find not licensed In accordance
with the provisions of this chapter, and
such County Courts shall provide suit
able books and blanks to such officer In
which a record of such Investigation may
bo kept.
Section 6. If any such person owning
or having the possession or control of
any such weapon or weapons mentioned
or described in section 2 of this chapter,
shall refuse to give such officer duly
authorized as aforesaid, to receive the
same, such information described In
sections 4 and 5 of this chapter, such
person or persons shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor an upon conviction
thereof be fined In the mm of not less
than five or more than r0 or by Impris
onment In the County Jail not less than
five nor more than 50 days or by both
such fine or imprisonment.
Section 7. All persons applying for a
license as provided by this chapter shall
pay to the County Clerk of such county
the sum of one dollar as a license fee.
except persons duly licensed under sec
tion of B. & C. code to hunt. In
the Modern Public Schools
let the critic point out the defects and
designate what subjects ought to be
stricken out and what subjects ought
to receive more attention. This is the
kind of criticism that we need. The
teacher is willing to do all In his or
her power to bring; about changes for
the better. They are willing to spend
the best portion of their lives in train
ing the boys and girls entrusted to
their care in order that they may de
velop Into good men and women, but
are there not other factors to be con
sidered in the education of the youth?
What about the home? What about the
church? Upon what grounds are these
Important institutions to be excused from
a Just share of their responsibility? Too
much strewt to being mad upon the
school training and not enough Impor
tance given to the home training. Let
parents more strongly co-operate with
the teacher by teaching the child at home
the lessons of honesty, perseverance, rev
erence and. obedience, and the teacher
will not have to spend so much time upon
discipline and can devote more attention
to the mental development. When we
take into consideration the character of
some homes from which children come, it
is not at all surprising that the public

school is often criticised for poor results.
When the intellectual and moral standard
of the home Is raised, then a marked Im
provement will be seen in the standard
of the school. "As the home Is. so is the
school; as the school is, so Is the state."
Edwin Grober's "Creed for Teachers
would revolutionize the public school sys
tem of our great state, if it were followed
bv parent and teacher alike.
The Creed: "I believe that the boys
and girls of today are the men and wo
men of a great tomorrow. That whatso
ever the boy soweth the man shall reap.
I believe in the curse of ignorance; the
efficacy of schools; the dignity of teach
ing, and the Joy of serving another. I be
lieve In lessons taught, not so much by
precept, but by example, in ability to
work with the hand as well as to think
with the head, and in everything that
makes life large and lovely. I believe in
beauty in the home, in the schoolroom,
in daily life and out of doors. I believe
in laughter, .in love, and all ideals and
distant hopes that lure us on. I believe
for every hour of every day we receive a
just reward for all we are and all we do.
I believe in the present and its oppor
tunities; the future and its promises, and
the divine Joy of living."

X and after tha first day of Janu-
next. every person in Great
Britain over 70 yeary ot age. wnu i -lunatic,
and lias not been convicted of
crime and whoso Income does not ex
ceed 26 5s. or 130 a year, will be en
titled to a pension of nve shillings
week from the public treasury. In
cases where husband and wife or two
or more members ot the same family or
"any persons living together in the
same house." sliall apply for pensions,
tiie rate shall be three shillings and
nine pence a week; Instead of the full
amount, and the authorities have al
rcadv begun to wrangle over the mean
ing of the terms "living together." and
"house." Nobody will be allowed a pen
sion who has "habitually refused to
work" and "all who have been brought
into a position to apply for a pension
through his or her wilful acts of mis
behavior," are barred. There is going
to be a good deal of trouble applying
that provision. It would be impossible
for any human tribunal to determine
whether a man's poverty and depend
ence are the results of his own wilful
acts or misbehavior. Old age pensions
cannot be assigned to other persons;
they cannot be drawn by anyone ex
cept a pensioner or one who holds his
power of attorney, and those who try
to obtain pensions by fraud are liable to
six months' imprisonment with hard
labor.

According to the census there were
106,908 persons In the City of London
who were "0 years of age and over on
the 1st of July, 1901, and that Is prob
ably very near the present fact.
On the 18th of July last, 117.404 per
sons were receiving relief under the
poor law in London, and it is esti
mated that at. least one-half of them
were more than 70 years of age. Of
these, 75,177 were inmates of poorhouses.

hospitals and other public Institutions
and 42,227 were classed as "outdoor
paupers" that is, they received the
public charity at their own homes. This
was an increase of 3736 from the total
for 1907. and was 24.7 per thousand of
the population. In 1907 the ratio was 24.1
per thousand; in 1906 it was 2.7 per thou
sand, and in 1905 it was 24.7 per thou
sand precisely the same as in 1907.
In England and Wales today. 779,794
paupers are being supported by the
government, as compared with 761,074
at this time in 1907. The number of
outdoor paupers that is, persons re
ceiving relief at their own homes Is
523,064. as aaalnst 616,729 last year; and
the number of Indoor paupers that
Is, inmates of publia Institutions Is
206,730, as compared with 244,345 a year
ago.
Korty years ago there were 934.517
paupers in England and Wales, with a
population of 21.000.000: 20 years ago
there were 717,466 for a population of
28,000,000. and 10 years ago there were
727.324 paupers, with a population of
31,000.000.
It is expected that the total number
of paupers returned next year will be
much larger than at present, because
employers of labor are already begin
ning to discharge everybody on their
payrolls who is more than 70 years old,
first because the government has under
taken to take care of the aged poor, and
second because of the. employers' liabil
ity act, which was enacted by Parlia
ment last year, making an employer re
sponsible for the maintenance of every
person in hia employ while sick or dis
abled. The old-age pension act has
proven to be a convenient salve for the
consciences of employers, who are now
discharging aged servants and work
men and are saying to them: "I am no
longer under obligations to keep yoii;
the government has undertaken to take
care of you. and so you may go."
Payments of pensions are to be made
through the postoffic.es throughout the
country every Friday, and by means of
printed orders of the denominations of
one. two. three, four and Ave shillings.

These orders will be bound In books
of 25, which will be issued to pensioners
every six months, tliruugh tho pension
officers, on the first of January and the
first of July. The pensioner must pre
sent his book of orders in person at the
postofflco of payment, when the post
master will pay the amount due and
tear out of the. book one of the orders
for the corresponding amount, -which
will be signed by tho pensioner as a re
ceipt for such payment. Tf the pen
sioner is incapacitated by illness or In-;
flrmity from appearing in person, his
order may be paid to an agent who1
shows sufficient authority to receive ths
same.
mm
There are various estimates a to the '
amount of money that will be required
to meet these pension orders. It is
expected that not less than 800,000 ap
plications will be made, which means
4,000.000 shillings, or Jl.000,000 a. week
In disbursements, or something llk
$52,000,000 a year. This estimate, baaed
upon the census returns, is probably
very nearly accurate, but that is only
about one-third of the amount that la
paid In the way of pensions by tha
Government of the United States. Great
Britain does not give pensions to its
soldiers as we do, although officers and
enlisted men wiio have served In the
British army for so many years are
transferred to the retired list and re
ceive one-half or two-thirds pay for
the remainder of tiieir lives.
The old-age pension law. which has
become a reality, has been demanded
by the laboring classes for many years,
and Is a portion of the price paid by
the Liberal party for the Socialist La
bor vote in the House of Commons.
That wing of the Liberal party has
been very expensive; it has been suc
cessful in obtaining more attention and
securing morn practical legislation
than any other political faction that
has appeared in the House of Commons
for generations. The Labor Socialists
have held the balance of power, and
both parties are bidding for their sup
port. The Liberals offered the most
and obtained it.
