contented himself with occasionally addressing
one, kissing another, and accepting the numer-
Gus bouquets they bore. President OF the board
of education Phil A. Hogue made a pleasant ad-
dress to Gen. Grant, introducing ana expressing
the good wishes of the children. Gen. Grant
replied:-'1 am always glad to be received by

school children of to-day the future safety of the
nation, and in view Of the Importance OF their
future they must be carefully nutured and edu-

have is education. II education were universal

ton OF the Grand Army of the Republic to visit
