The theory now held by our wisest and
best men is that every human being who
comes mto this world is entitled to fair
development Of his god-given faculties.
| never see the bright eyes and iuquir-
ing features of a little child, whether in

mind and tender heart guided aud pro-
tected by the counsels and teachings
which are to he received at the best
schools and from the most successful
teachers. And why not? These young
children by whom we are surrounded t".
day are in a few years to take our place in
the race of life. They are to control the
destinies Of our country. They are to be-
come the voters, jurors, soldiers and civil
lians Of the future State, They are to be
qualified to become good citizens or bad
citizens. They are to become your far

ministers, editors and merchants. What

reason can you give why they should not
be properly educated to discharge the
great duties appertaiaing to each Of these
occupations. One man objects that they

duties Of citizenship? Do you summon
your juries only from the ranks Of thes,

The school question is one in

The different churches in this town
are to blame to a great extent for Our
failure to have good schools. Wedo not
mean the churches as churches, neither
do we have reference to the pastors,
but to the members Of the different
churches. The sectarian feeling in this
matter is too great and the soone the
error can be counteracted the better
it will be for the public. The Presby.

the Methodists want Methodist teach
