The editor of contemporary. in
discussing the proposal to take fire-
arms away from the people in order
to disarm. bandits and robbers. ex-
presses a fear that such action might
interfere with the constitutional right
of the people to "keep and bear
arms.” .
The right to which reference is
made is a quotation from the Second
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, which reads: “A well-
gregulated militia being necessary to
, the security of a free Staterthe right
of the people to keep and bear arms
shall not be infringed." It appears
extremely doubtful ifetliis amendment
to the Constitution was intended to
preserve the right of any individual to
maintain an arsenal in his home .or to
carry it abroad. In surely did not
mean that any person should be en—
\

couraged to keep weapons that would .
» aid him in the commission of crime.
-' ‘The fact that the term. "a well-regu-
lated militia." is used in the amend-
ment. would indicate that- the right to
"keep and bear arms" is not an indi-
vidual right. but one of a collective
character. given through a regular

The last two years have been marked
by surprising changes in the personell
of the night schools. Before that the
pupils were of two sorts: such young
people as had left school before fin-
ishing the public school course and
those in commercial pursuits who felt
the need of more preparationfor their
task. Now these two classes have al-
most entirely vanished and in their
