engineering, the founding of colleges,
churches, schools and other public in
situations, to political contests and pa
triotic celebrations. Scan the entire
horizon of American activities and the
truth of this assertion comes back to us
with redoubled force.
A great national event, however,
shows Americans at their best. The
Columbian exposition will offer proof of
this statement.
The national public school celebra-
ton of Oct. 10 will be particularly
unique in character. 1t has no par
allel in American history. The public
school has never been the center of a
strictly national demonstration. It
stands prominently at the head of
American institutions. The idea that
it be the leader in a celebration which
proclaims the completion of 400 years of
American life has struck responsive
chord which is already sounding
throughout the nation.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1892-04-30
The Twilight of the Century.

We are in the Saturday evening of the
fourth century of Americas discovery.
We are nearing one of the great mile
stones of history. An epoch in Ameri-
can life is closing. In a few weeks we
pass the day which rounds up the full
measure of the 400 years that are gone.
But it is not proposed that we stand even
for day on that great dividing line to
speculate upon American achievement
and progress. We shall pause for but a
moment and contemplate with wonder
and admiration the grandest production
and the most enduring monument of the
first 400 years of American life-our
public school system.
The earnest enthusiasm with which
the public schools of America are grasp
ing the idea of a Columbian public
school celebration for Oct. 10 augurs
well for a successful national demonstra-
ton.
On Oct. 10 the eyes of the nation will
be turned upon the public schools, which
form the keystone in the arch of our
civilization. Throughout the length and
breadth of our land the $4,000, 600 pupils
enrolled in our free public schools will,
as with one voice, sound note which
will thrill the nation.

Historic Expressions.

The mace is an emblem of authority
and use in our congress as well as in the
English parliament, and though it is
merely a symbol it commands respect;
but it was never so insulted as when
Oliver Cromwell stalked into the Eng
ish house to dispense the members and
dissolve the parliament. The mace lay
in its regular place, and when Cromwell
saw it he must have sneered at the
petty symbol, for he called one of his
soldiers and ordered, "Take away that
bauble.'' So, as the mace was carried
out, the doors were locked and parlia-
ment effectually dissolved.
The message of Commodore Perry is
better known. The battle Of Lake Erie
had taken place, and the British feet
were defeated. Then the commodore
sent to General Harrison, grandfather
of the present president, his famous dis
patch, eve have met the enemy, and
they are ours" It was but little
longer than CAESARS, 81 came, I, saw, /
conquered"
An English general, however, made
the record for brevity when, after he
had conquered the province Of Scinde, in
India, he sent punning dispatch in the
one word, Peccavi, which, as our young
Latin students know, means, 81 have
s1nned. "-Harper's Young People.

Glorious Possibilities.

1t is only as one rises to the national
conception Of what Columbus Day, Oct.
10, may be made that it takes on it's
true character. The day itself, simply
as way of calling up the past and CIV
ing it historical significance, will be full
of meaning, but it will be much more
than this. The historical part of the
celebration is not confined to the mere
act of the discovery Of America by
Columbus on the morning of Oct. 10.
It is day that reaches back through
four centuries of progress, and it in
cludes all that America has passed
through in these 400 years--the crowd
ing out of one race by another; the
succession of one civilization after an
other; the growth of new ideas, and
the putting Of old ideas to new service;
the introduction of nobler manners, bet
ter laws, a larger and freer life than the
world has known before, and as the
fundamental element in this new order.
the creation and the development of our
public school system, than which moth
ing is more truly representative of Amer
lean ideas and institutions.
The eagerness and appreciation, with
which the suggestion for this peculiar
celebration has been caught up shows
that it touches the right chord in the
patriotic hearts of the young people
throughout the whole nation.
