underlying American success.

Corn and Produce Gazette. Of
London is a whole chapter on the
subject:

Progress Of American Schools.

The development of the educa-
tional system of the country
within the hundred years is one
OF the most striking and interest
ing branches of the whole history.
The magma charta, or, as English
writing put it, ..the charter of
liberties executed by King John
in England in June, 1915, is often
quoted as the guide of our ances-
tors in forming the charter of our
own liberties. Only three of
King Johns. csigners could write
their names; the others made
their certified mark. When the
independence of the United
States was established, "a hundred
years ago, the subject of educa-
ton was not made an important
one. The schools of the colonial
days were all allied to the church,
and the preacher was also the
teacher. In 1647, Massachusetts,
led iii the famous act for ssthe
establishment of schools and the
manner ~of attending them"
Massachusetts was the first State
to mention, in its Constitution,
the public and grammar schools,
colleges and universities. Other
New England States followed the
example. Private organizations,
however, outdid legislative ection,
which was slow. In 17Sl, the
General Society of Mechanics and
Tradesmen-was founded and still
continues as a free night scool in
New York city, probably the old
est school in the United States.
The public school system of New

important officers, while it is true
that the election comes ut avery

we consider that to these officers
are intrusted not only the impos-
ing Of the heaviest tax that is col
lected from our people, which
usually amounts IN most the
districts to 30 cents ON each 800
Of both real and personal pro-
perty, which is as much as all our
other taxes put together, as we'll

directly with the moral and edu-

il therefore behooves every Voter

taxes and more improvement in

One Of the most pleasant
episodes of the grand centennial
week was the presence at the ban
quet table in New York of three
men who have been elevated to
the presidential Office. When
this generation shall have passed
away and the history of the
American Republic is studied,
one of the interesting mile posts
will be the turn of the first cen
fury of constitutional govern
ment. The page which will refer
to the notable gathering in the
city where the first president was
inaugurated and the first hundred
year jubilee celebrated will BE
frightened by the names of
Cleveland, Hayes and Harrison.
The thought will be the occasions
which gave them great promi-
hence. Under their leadership
was represented the extremes OF
politics, and the peaceful crisis Of
what promised in the life of one
to be stormy rupture. The
future historian will view these
things with an impartial eye, and
record the unified strength Of
American character with "a truth
full pen. Three living presidents
May many years be spared them
and may the country profit by
their lives and the work which in
quiet citizenship. they may We,
perform for the people Of our free
