Schools and Newspapers.

To schools and newspapers. civilization
owes it's crown Of intelligence. These
are the chief bulwarks Of free society
the mightiest and most powerful agen-
cies of Chris,culom. Indebted to re-
ligion, perhaps. for thor better spirit and
morality, tits no, cxasgeratins to say
that religion is deeply indebted for its
diffusion to them. Both educators and
dissemiua,ors. their functions are still
measurably ditferent-the school laying
the basis Of knowledge, and the newspa
per spreading knowledge with unparnl'
lelel speed ard universally among men
1t is now little over four centuries
since printing commenced its annals.
and some thousand Of years since book
making began yet it is safe to say that
newspapers, within the half century past,
have done more for the diffusion Of cs'
seutial knowledge, and to make it the
common property and blessing Of man
kind. than all the uges Of books. So
too, though Universities d.tc back into
the dimncss Of time, and academies are
as old as the classic groves Of llcllas,
modern common schools have transcend
ed them all in unvcrsalizing intelligence
Schools aud newspapers arc the grandest

need hu, quote what Governor Berkeley,
Of Virginia. wrote to King Charles in
1911: ~ thank God there are no free
schools nor printing presses here And
The thanked God for it, hoping "there
would not be these three hundred years,
for learning breeds up hcrc,ies, sccts, and

CONCLUSION. ...
In conclusion, gentlemen, I may remark
TINT YOU have arIuons anil important work
before you. There arc many subjects Of Grcnt
interest requiring legislation upon which It
was not deemed advisable for your prcdeces-
sors TO take action. because during the War
some portions Of the State could not be fairly
represented, and might have considered their
interests prrjudced by such action in the
absence of their due representation. Lcgis-
lntion on other subjects was omitted because
it could not have been madc effective during
the War. But these grounds Of delay have
been removed, md now no reason exists why
you should not take notion on all legitimate
subjects Of legislation. All portions Of the
State may be represented, and ali nccdfHl
and properly GUARDED cnnctmen,s may be
made effective throughout the State. feel
assured therefore, that. however great the
responsibility. and arduuas anil delicate the
task dcvolvins on yo,. it will be performed
with view to the interests. progress and
prosperity Of all portions Of our Suite, and
with the purpose and Nh arlen, desire on
your part taat it may reiouad To- tho good Of
the whole country.
