The Relation of the Public Schools to
 Higher Education.

l. The relation of the public schools to higher education is but partial. The public schools are preparatory to every department of life, including that of lib- eral and professional learning, which constitutes what is understood as higher education. Hence, higher educationis not directly related to the entire scope of the work of the public schools The "hewers of wood and drawers of water,'' your mechanics, your butchers and bak- ers,dry goods men and real estate agents, your railroad conductors and bookkeep- CTS, farmers and miners, ,stockmen, sailors and fishermen, all, as boys, are fitted for citizenship and usefulness in the public schools. The public schools must also train such of it's pupils as propose to ob- tain higher education. The scope of the public school is very broad. That of

BRIDGEPORT.

Capt Isaac P. Davis died of pneumonia at Richmond, Maine, Friday, January 29, aged 73 years, nine months, l3 days. He was the eldest son of Capt Aaron H. Davis, one of Hallowell's early settlers. He attended school at the Hallowell academy, where he gained a good edu- cation. At the age of 16, he shipped on board a whaling vessel at New Bedford for four-years' voyage. He afterward entered the merchant service, where, by his faithfulness and efficiency, he was soon promoted and became master of a fine ship running regularly between New York city and Glasgow, Scotland. Capt Davis married Mary E. Hunt, who died some Is years ago. Their two children, Albert H. Davis, the Bridgeport clothier, and Mrs Alice M. Christie, both of Bridgeport, Conn.,, are still living.

greatest scholars, scientists and philoso- ity and agnosticism, we see exemplified danger attendant upon higher educat- ion, against which it behooves the public schools to guard. Let the pupil have had thoroughly impressed upon him, all through his preparatory course, the prin- ciples of high morality and they will hold him, when speculative philosophy treatens to precipitate all his cherished theories into bottomless pit. There is nothing so important to ardent, brilliant students, as to be thoroughly grounded in morality and the place where they should be thus grounded is in the public schools. A solemn charge there is upon the public school teacher, for he creates largely the university student. In the future noble man, or the future talented scoundrel, you read, teachers, what you have written.
 The colleges should not go on with their work regardless of the public schools. They are vitally interested in the preparation of their pupils. They should, therefore, regularly and thor oughly inspect the public schools. They should be ready to give judicious advice to those in authority over these schools. They should everywhere honor the work of the public school teacher and, if there be any favor shown to any course, it should be manifested to those pupils who are preparing themselves for that vital and all important work to the Republic, the teaching of the public schools. Ped agogics is a department worthy of the best endeavor of any university.
 What, then, shall we say in summary of the relation of the public schools to higher education? Let them be as broth CT and sister. The public schools the stalwart brother; the colleges, the queer like sister. Let the brother care for the sister. Let the sister watch over the brother. Let them, hand in hand, climt the hills and tread the wales of our ma. tional life-ncver indifferent to-but al. ways helping and inspiring each other and God shall be honored, our citizens educated and the republic preserved - CRev W.

AN APPEAL. FOR HELP.

The Indian Rights association has is sued call to it's members and to III oth-
 CT persons who are interested in seeing justice and right done, to protest against
 the removal of the Ute Indians from their present reservation in southern Colorado to proposed reservation in Utah. The removal will be not only prejudicial to the interests of these Indians, but also in violation of the settled policy of the gov ernment, that Indians located on arabe land should be encouraged to remain and to take up farms as provided by law. The Ute Indians are accused of being lazy and shiftless and it is claimed that they cannot be taught agricultural pur- suits; it is said that they prefer hunting to working for their living and, there fore, they would be better off on reser- vation (away from the track of white mem where game abounds. While it is true that no great progress has been made in agriculture or in education, it is but just to say that no serious attempt has been made to advance the Utes in civili- zation. None of the treaty obligations under which they were located on their present lands have been carried out in good faith. They have been supplied with seed and agricultural instruments, but the farmer, who was appointed and paid by the government to instruct them, has done nothing to teach them even the rudiments of farming. They are practi- cally heather with no education. Their chief fault is that they occupy good farm- ing land coveted by white men. As a things considered desirable by civilized people, it is now proposed to move them away from farming country where they may become citizens to d rough, moun- tainous region, practically without wa ter, for farming and not sutab for rais- ing cattle. It is to defeat this wrong be- ing done to these ignorant, uncivilized, un-Christianized Ute Indians that an ap- peal is made to all friends of jus tice to use their influence in defeating bill No. 362, now in the hands of the Sen ate committee on Indian affairs
 Any persons desiring more information in regard to this subject can have il copy of the interesting report, just issued, of the special committee which visited the present and proposed reservation, last Summer, by addressing the Indian Rights association, 1905 Arch street, Phiiadel- phia, or A.

THE GRANGE IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY.

THE GRANGE IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY.
 This organization, that has made such wonderful progress all over the United States, both in numbers and influence, during the past few years and which has a home in so many of the towns of Con- necticut, has not so generally been taken advantage of by the farmers of this coun- ty as in other parts of the State. This is perhaps owing to the fact that the matter has not been as thoroughly pre- sented here as otherwheres and perhaps to the conservative nature of our farm CTS, made up largely of men of intelli- gence and ability, who never go blindly into any scheme, but investigate thor oughly any subject brought to their at tention, look at it on all sides, decide it calmly and deliberately, then, when a favorable decision has been reached, en- ter into it with spirit of determination that is sure omen of success. The in- terest manifested in many parts of the county at this time shows conclusively that the period of investigation has been going on and decision favorable to the Grange is being reached. From all sec tions, inquiries are coming, not in spirit of criticism or curiosity, but from men desiring information which will lead them to answer intelligently the question, Shall join the Grange? To the credit of the order, it should be said that the more it's principles and object are stud jed, the more surely will there come an affirmative answer. The outlook is bright and the next year will probably see Grange organizations in many of the towns of Fairfield county and the mem- bers enjoying the advantages and bene- fits they are sure to receive.
