from alliance with politics in any way whatever keep this sacred from any such control let all the influences and appliances of education be strict honest and beyond y ond all taint of suspicion in every respect give local ability the preference when this can be done without impairing or preventing the desired efficiency and restrain the tendency to lavish expenditure for either buildings or teachers economy is the watchword of today and true education rests upon a false foundation if it is presented to a pupil from a standpoint which fails to take cognizance of all environment circumstances and conditions it surely is not too much to say that even a very desirable thing can be purchased at too great a sacrifice and so defeat itself these institutions are sustained by general taxation the poor equally with the rich are interested both are prepared to favor this drift but when so large a percentage of the revenue is absorbed in one direction there axe are those who think that a little mania is enough and that professional exactions should be scrutinized as Is done with paving lighting or water this is in no sense deprecatory of education in no sense opposed to the increase of true intelligence it is not good to inflict excessive burdens upon a willing yet weary community and the protest of today is so far reach ing that all expenditure becomes amenable to both criticism and correction these are local issues on which we can afford to linger in discussion they are more important than silver or tariff than politics or political parties they eAre ire home questions and the people suspect those who make unreachable topics the burdens and claim for action when there are at their very door things and conditions which can be remedied and improved if dust
