PRESIDENT ANGELS ADDRESS.

He urged that it is of vital Importance,
especially in republic, that higher educa-
tion as well as common school education, be
accessible to the poor as well as the rich, Tor
the reasons that the poorest child should have
proper facilities for obtaining by reasonable
effort the best development of his talents
and character.
We provide common school education on
the ground that it is a necessary qualification
for worthy citizenship. hut at bottom there
is also the feeling that it is due to every
child. as human being, to give him an OPP
portunitv to kindlc into flame any divine
spark of intelligence within him. 1t Is not
too much to say that either hy legislation or
voluntary action. society should provide
such moral and intellectual opportunities as
to make education and character accessible
10 him. if he has Il fair amount of talent,
self-dcnial and energy. Without them, he
may finally attain the goal. but nj
the cost of many years OF wasted
effort What We need is to make the
higher education accessible TO the
poor. not merely on account of the poor
and gifted scholars themselves, hut also he
cause it is the best for snciety, which needs
all the trained and gifted minds that it can
contain and which may find the best ma
terial in such humble ranks of life rs ni the
Ayrshire plowman. the hlackSmllhs 5 apprcn-
tcc, Farltlav, the cullirry fireman. Steph-
enson. the rail splitter, Lincoln. or the tcle-
graph hov. Edison No nation can afford to
leave any obstacle in the path Ol such men,
which can be removed 10y reasonable effort.
Again we need to put the higher educ;-
tion within the reach of the poor. because
we cannot afford To rndow the rich alone
with the tremendous power OF trlined ami
educated minds. for fear that in the future
there should grow up an aristocracy OF
learning as we'll as of wealth, and either
cOnsigu the control OF political and intel
lcctunl life tn the rich. or else have con
stant scene Of turbulence between the igno-
rant many and the enlightened few.
One of the most Democratic institutions IN
the world is free university. where the
rich unlcarn their eNclusivcneSS and AFRO
gancc, and the poor acquire the indepcn-
dence and Sclf-reliancr of native talents in an
arena where they alone are appreciated.
Finally it is Of great importance 10 the health
and ptrmanence of our political institutions.
where an much of our action is determined

districts and smaller towrs and villages OF
