Beecher be gan by referring to the multitudes who are coming to our shores from foreign countries. oAAC WOA1NACAo WAOIC GQcT0 Cdu D0 1OuuQ lana for this great throng, but when his errands carry him over the prairies of the West he wonders where in the world people will be found for all the land. These people come to escape oppression and burdens and to en- joy freedom and participate in the rights of citizenship. In Europe men are good to make States with and armies and churches In America, added to the idea of what man will produce, is that of his intrinsic worth, which was the outcome of the reformation The Puritans, whom I do not think I could enjoy any more than could enjoy sleeping with an ax or a plough, however useful they may be in their place-the Puritans brought this idea to America and founded commonwealth for all men and it went all over the United States. This is polyglot nation There are more Germans in New York city than in any German city These people who com9 here have their customs and religions. The New England water does not taste as well to the German as his lager beer. am not afraid of these newcomers even if they do carry in their hand that white thunder, the ballot They helped to save the nation in time of war. Yet there is danger. How shall it be met? Some think by the news paper, but the newspaper works both ways. In the man it is but follower of the camp. It is a mirror holding up life as it is Phrenologists say that if yon draw line around a mans head below the ears, all be- low the line is animal. Now newspapers get their news below the ears. They reproduce scenes of brutality, dog and cock fights, say ing that they give the people what they ask for. They give the news, but not the best news. Will their people be brought together by the Church? If one should say religion C. c., love to God and man, should not ob- ject, but the institutions of religion are the most quarrelsome on earth. God has foreor- dained and prepared an agency to assimilate fhIS miscellaneous r1nnr11a T &1 free public common schools of America We take the children to create in them intel hgence, making men who are capable of find ing out knowledge. They are not sectarian, not partisan. The school goes to the people It lights candle in every neighborhood It keeps down the differences between classes created by pride. The minister's son has seat next to the minister's washerwoman's son. There sits the poor mans genius and the rich mans dunce by the side of him. The best schools should be in the outlying districts among the honest people The com. mon school should be the best school The commonwealth cannot afford to be stingy in this respect. There are enough men in it who can, but not the commonwealth.
 Make your schools so good that the rich will feel compelled to send their children. A mean school house makes mean neighbor- hood. The sckool yards should be laid out beautifully, and the houses should be finely and elegantly furnished. It should be tenn pie of intelligence dedicated to the child Good air is most necessary. Non sectarian. If Catholic community want @ Catholic parochial school they have a perfect right to have it and to pay for it. Some may say 1 believe in 8 goddess school. do in the | same sense that sawmill is goddess.
 The schools should have the best men and women. At present they are used as thor 1 oughfare road not to live in but to walk in. l Men use the occupation of teacher as 1  men think it respectable place to stand till 1 they see what God is gong to send them. ] In the providence of God teaching is the new | profession.
