An act has past the legislature granting
aid to the State Normal School at Wirona.
The act apprcpria'os $4,000 the pteson,
year, COO next year, and $500 ansu.
ally thereafter. This is step in the right
direction. Now let the legislature make
the office Of State Superintendent Of public
Instruction independent Of any other office,
with salary sufficient to attract the best
educator in the State, and the foundation o
an educational system will have been well
laid.

A PRAYER FOR PEACE.

Give US peace in our time, o Lord,
From the desolating swofi,
From the devastating fire
From wicked mems 'desirel
Passionate, senseless, proud,
The teachers Of the crowd
Disturb tho sorrow fol air,
Crying "Strike and do not spare 4"
The preachers of thy Word,
Untrue to the trust conferred,
Defle Thy temple gate
With the b.asphemies Of hate.
The eyes Of our young men gloS
As the wild War trumpets blow,
And their hands drip crimson
With the blood Of thsir brethren slain.
"More blood !" the old men urge,
AS the tides Of battle surge
lis sweet for our country to die
More blood the women cry,
And they 60, the brave and strong,
For a right that may be wrong,
10 feed the greedy tomb
With their beauty and thoir bloom;
~ Iouueh tue rolIinB noou,
To fatten the earth with blood,
And poison the airs pure breath
With the charnel wreck Of death.
From the mountains to the sea,
Floats up, o Lord, to Thee
To the footstool Of Thy throne,
The long, low, tremulous moan
0fa childless multitude,
Tender, and fair, and good;
Of mothers forlorn-forlorn,
Who weep for their early born
And for widows forlorn as they,
Whose hope, whose prop, whose stay
Lie low in the shallow grave
0 the unforgotten brave.
Give Us peace, o Lord, in our time,
From all this wrong and crime;
From all this sorrow and shame
Peace +! peace in thy holy name
For the sake of the perishing realm
That our passions overwhelm
For the sake of tho outraged laws,
And Of Liberty's sacred cause
Stay, stay Thy lifted hand
On our decinated land
Hold back the avenging rod
Peace peace Q. Lord, our God
