WHEN we think of the sectional
strife, the bitterness and intense
hatreds of twenty years ago so we'll
known to the young as we'll as the old,
and read Governor Buffers cordialin-
vitation to Governor Bate to attend
the NewsEngland Manufacturers and
Mechanics Institute and accept the
hOspitalities Of the city of Boston, it
seems like a sunburst of the millen,
mum of peace. Less than twenty
years ago the two Governors we're
Generals in the field on opposite sides
fighting with desperate courage and
perSistency worthy OF their revolu-
tionary ancestors and quite as re-
splendent with chivalry as the Cru
saders who sought to rescue the
sepulcber of the Savior from infdel
hands. No people on earth but
Americans could have come together
in a cordial. patriotic spirit SO soon.
These two are representative men
who distinguished themselves in war,
and who are still leaders in times of
peace. Their greatest victories have
been won in bringing about coed un-
derstauding, in promoting the arts and
industries of their respective States,
and in sustaining the honor Of com.
mon flag, and adding to the greatness
ofa common country. Of the true
soldier it can always be said FIRST in
war, first in peace aud first in tie
hearts Of his countrymen." And 80
it may be said Of the soldiers, as
class, who fought in the late war,
whether they happened from birth
place, location and education to wear
the blue or the gray. Those who did
their duty are typical American citi.
zens and soldiers, whose deeds go to
make up the history and character of
the nation.

lF pupils cannot be obtained for the
State Agricultural College without
special effort, it is pretty good evidence
that such a school is not wanted, and
that the State had better close it and
devote the money now expended upon
it to some other use. The College is
not in good repute, and this no doubt
helps to deter young men from enter
ing it, The other objection, arising
from the cost, inconvenience and dan>
gers attending a residence away from
home for four years, is serious one
for the people in the circumstances of
those who might be expected ia avail
themselves Of SUCH privileges. 1t is
reasonably certain that much better
educational work would be accom-
plished If the apf EdpriatiOn now made
for the support Of the State College
were devoted to helping to establish
technical training schools in the chief
manufacturing cities of the State. 1t
is not necessary that the State should
pay all the expenses Of such educa-
tiOn. Private and corporate enter
prise could easily be invoked to bear
the brunt of the undertaking if the
State should offer to assist, and the
greater amount Of useful work could
be done IN night classes, for the reason
that those who are to be benefited are
generally employed during the day.
A comprehensive system of State aid
for such schools, which would be all
the better if they were not entirely
free, would do infinitely more good
than the maintenance Of a third or
fourth class college, which pupils can
nat be persuaded to atteRd,-Phila.
