81 now approach q matter OF which
speak with peculiar pride, the educa-
tlOnal system Of the State of Michigan.
/ am IN position here 10 affirm with
pOsltlveness that ours is the best system
of education IN the known world.
Some time ago, the Government of
Australia sent circular letters TO the
civilized nations OF the world So
Letting accounts of their systems
of ei.ucation, and offering a prize TO
that nation which made the best ex
hlbit. Accordingly, | caused to be for
warded to Australia copies of our
school laws and accounts of all our
educational institutions. The matter
had entirely passed from my mind,
amid the pressure of my various cares.
But about five weeks ago | received
from the Australian committee large

prize given TO the State of Michigan
IN recognition of Its having the
BEST SYSTEM.
of education in the world,
Here the audience burst outin enthu-
siastic applause. When order was
again restored, the Governor gave a
description of the University, the
Normal School, the Agricultural Col
lege and the Mining School.
Now | am not going 10 say that
Democrats are not as proud as we are
OF our supreme place among the COM
monwealths OF the world, but | do say
that this position of eminence has been
attained by adherence to the policy of
that party which has controlled the
destines of our state for thiTty-slx
years. Is 1t not reasonable to think
that a continuance of TINS same policy
and of this same party will simply con-
tiuue TO advance our great state along
these same lines upon which she has
been marching so lOng?"
Coming TO the subject of taxation,
Gov. Luce SAID that the taxes this year
ARE THE LOWEST
that they have been for eight years,
and vet not one institution has suffered.
lie stated that the aggregate tax this
year is 81 ,263, 900.
Now, ! an going TO surprise you.

that the bonded debt Is all paid. and
we are IN splendid financial condition"
Here the speaker went into history of
the ., eco 200 trust fund. and showed
how its management under the Re
publican administrations has been much
wiser than 1t was under the tluctuating
policies of the earlier Democratic adj
mlmstratiOns.
