The Comptroller Of the Currency
Mr.. Eckels, in his report to Congress
makes statements, and pictures con
ditions that are 5ewildering to an
average Arkansas citizen. We take
this from his report;

months was not the result of either

which there is now a plethora, nor a
want of elasticity in the present sys.

loss of confidence on the part Of the

that there is now very great
abundance OF unemployed currency

daily money returns from the com
mercial centers. it would seem that

The Constitution Of the State Of
Arkansas has said--and aptly, too:
Realizing that the stability Of our
republican institutions il founded
upon the education Of the masses, it
shall be the object Of the State al
WAYS &c maintain the public schools
and thus secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and our posterity
TO secure the blessing Of liberty was
the leading object of the people Of

ing the Constitution. Whether or
not the blessing ofciyil and religious
freedom shall be enjoyed b. the pos
terity. depend essentially upon what
shall be done TO qualify the rising
generations Of the American youths
for the duties and responsibilities of
freemen The destinies Of this great
and growing republic shall in few
years be committed to those who are
now receiving instruction in the
public schools. How important then
that the course OF instruction pur-
sued In the institutions should em-
brace the study Of civil government
lin which our youths are so soon
to take part Our government is in
theory government of the people; TO
to be such IN fact, the people must
know how to govern. The right of
self. government can be valued only
( as Il is exercised intelligently.
The fundamental principle of our
government is equality. At the bal
lot box the Constitution recognizes
no distinction or preference. 1t Sc
cures to all classes-the rich and the
poor, the high and low, the humblest
and most exalted-the same equal
measure Of political power. Hence,
all should be capable of exercising
this power with wisdom and effect.
The study Of political science should
commence early children should
grow up in the knowledge Of our re-
publican Institutions The provis
ions of our State and National Con
situations should be as familiar as
the spelling book or the rules of
arithmetic, vet thousands Of our
young men reach their majority
without having given these Consti-
tntions so much as single reading,
and who assume the high preroga-
tives of freemen without knowing
what the duties of freemen are. Can
our liberties be safe in such hands2
Can parents reconcile it to their
sense Of justice to their country TO
turn their sons loose upon the com
munity thus unprepared to- dis
charge their political duties2 If
eyer the mass of our people are to be
qualified for the business of self
government, the public schools must
be relied upon as the principal
means. Teachers should realize the
magnitude of the trust, and teach
them carefully their duty to their
country and their God-for, remem-
Der, teachers, in your hands lies the
destiny Of America.

emaciated form, the hopefulness of
the patient and the hopelessness Of

picture which is far too common. A
slight cough, a little hoarseness, or
only sore throat, was the begin
