But we need not involve ourselves in theoreticl

whatever it may be. Our business is with the
Present-to adopt all those means which will tend
to make man what he should be-wbch will miti-

Of 1880 IL is not to be overlooked after having
convulsed the old world and after enlisting so
many minds of our own country Whatever may
be their errors, We must acknowledge that many
good things are TO grow out of their discussions.
BE 1t our aim to seek impartially for truth, every
where, and reduce il to practice.
What then shall be done during the coming
half of the Nineteenth Century? Those who are
now in manhood will scarcely see its close. but
upon them depends the qualification Of youth for
filling up its volume of glory, and transmitting it
80 Nne aHmlr0alon OF Iurure centuries. Shall we
not all resolve, in this year of our Lord $50, TO
live for the highest good of the whole human
family, and 10 cOnseCrate our time and our means
to the progress Of knowledge and virtue In this
consists the glory of life, and aside from this
there is no object worth our attention because il
does rot make us wiser and hctter We must
cast off our selfshness for it IS written in the
law of intellectual aud moral life that our indi-
vidual results form the general good.

Here We see an increase Of effort to advance public
instruction far greater than the increase of popu-
ation The population advanced about 20 per
cent during this time, while the appropriation
of money for schools advanced about 90 per cent
If this four-fOld interest can be continued for a
half century to come, who can imagine the moral
position OF our people in the year 1900 And
what has not education done for Massachusetts, 2
IL has given her a commanding influence among
the States Her sons are scattered throughout
the Union, occupied in the professions and gov
erning the people by their mental superiority. 1t
has converted a State Of indifferent soil into the
richest Of the Republic. Where Nature has
granted few favors, her intellectual sagaciiy has
drawn to her sterile bosom the raw material Of
richer States, which she has converted into vari.
Gus fabrics for the use Of those whose service she
thus commands. She Is seeking out her poor
children from the lanes and alleys, and drawing
them into the peoples colleges. She understands
the truth that the perfection Of society and the
glory Of the State depend upon the education Of
her children She understands the other still
more important truth that every child has an ALB
solute right to good education, regardless OF The
condition Of its parents; that society is bound to
see that this right Is maintained.

Fell Foftly on this little flower,
From genial skies above.
The heart perchance has ceased TO beat,
Which gave this music forth
This sweet undying melody,
Amid the din of Earth,
But unto me this withered leaf
OerDent Win new appears
And the sad cadence of the song
l. eloquent Of tears 4.
Tears that will noursh into bloom
Dviner hues than those
That softly tnge the violet
~ Or blush within the
Teara fraught with fragrance sweeter far
Than any bee hath found,
Searching all day, with busy wing,
Where rarest flowers ~ ouud--
Fragrance that tells how in the heart
Some heavy. footed fate
Hath trod amid the flowers of love
Aud bruised them with its weight
But crush'd flowers will not ALWAYS die;
The root will often bear
New buds, that swell with loveness
More exquisi'ey fair
Than those first flowers some blow struck down,
Whose sap, like bafisd stream
Gathers its rich vitality
Meath summers ripper beam.
so will the lilies OF the soul,
When sorrows foosters press
Too hardly on their delicate
Unfolding loveliness,
Wither and shrink, t, bloom again
In beauty more divine,
Partaking of the hue and breath
OF heavens happier cline
The poets song the wthered Hover
How many pass them by!
How long in darkness they may sleep,
Unseen by any eye
But | will sometimes ope the leaves
That press their beauty in,
As seeks the bee some hidden eel,
Where he before ha,h been
Mr. York, Jtne, 1919.
