8. B. Sujkatt, i Pastor of Central Church.S\ „- \/ Compulsory Kdocattom \I An article favoring compulsory aduca-I tion appeared in our local columns yesterday morning which doe* not meet our approbation. It wag not written by our dty clitor, and should not hare appeared as an editorial, but as a communication, for which t:c writer was solely respond-tieGoknide%hlo. There are more than enough interference already in this •'land of the free” with private righta and individual liberty, and while we favor general education, we do not and never shall endorse a policy that proposes to ibvade a man's home, and after putting to Jiim a aeries of intermeddling question*coolly mitreho* his children to school without the. least regard to his wishes or actual need for their services. This compulsory education business thrives nowhere except on despotic soil, and it is only that section of the so-called party of '•progress'* in this country that would inako our own land another Prussia, with Grant or some other chosen leader as Kinpcror, that are clamoring for it. The writer of tbo communication docs not belong to that or any other section of the Radical* party, but be lias unintentionally, perhaps, planted him.^elf on their ground so fur as this J/febc quo-tion U concerned. /Iautt tVcck’H Cotton Fiintros.hoWuGoos j 1 oau ont fou the bef isri the law the; date the; fair nati Leg pivwillffro.TthoiThiparithe*pnlhopball'ex*r
