Art in the Schools.

1t is almost surprising that in this lat
ter part of the century it should be neces
sary to advocate the need of artistic sur
roundings in the rooms and about the
buildings of our public schools. There
are few today who will question the ele-
waiting influence of art upon the mind,
none who can deny that the only way in
which love of the beautiful may attain its
greatest power is to cultivate the percep-
tions of the child along that line 1t is
dismal to think that the mind of the aver.
age pupil in our public schools, when the
mind is most receptive of such exterior
influences as bare walls or beautiful works
condemned to the former. 1t is a fact
that usually the most worthless piece of
land in the country school district was
utilized as the site for the little wooden,
unsanitary box of a schoolhouse, even
when land could be had for clearing it.
And today the conditions are but little
better in many localities. Even in the
schools of the large cities the rooms are
most frequently bare and uninviting.
People grown with age less susceptible to
such influences would find an hour passed
in such rooms a task only to be performed
as duty 1t may be that the young child
comes to have more vivid perception of the
meaning and the imperativencss of duty
from having it thrust upon him thus every
day of the school year. If so duty must
seem "a most unwelcome thing. There is
nothing to distract his attention from his
lessons unless it be sense of dismalness.
There is, however, duty enough in the
world so that the child who is compelled
to perform it should at least have 1t made
as cheerful and attractive as possible.
Moreover, the education OF the public

English and American Railways.
On. Y. Tribunc.)

Scribners Magazine for November pres
ents some interesting railway computa-
tions and tabulations covering the
United States and England which are of
great interest, showing the present extent
condition and revenues of the systems OF
both countries England has 90, 325 miles
of railway and the United States l'2,o00
nearly nine times as much as the Oh
country, while her area is % times greater
PropOrtioned to her extent, England has
three times as much track as the United
States, but in the ratio of her population
the United States has five times rs much
as England. The English roads run three
times as many trains as the American,
and in 1899 carried 81, 200 passengers per
mile of railroad worked, against 1900
carried by the American roads. Employ
ing the same mode of calculation, that Is
about IA for one on the side of the British
system. and three and half for one in the
matter of freight. The gross earnings of
the English roads for the year mentioned
above was S400 00O,0 900, or $50, 600 per
mile that of the American system ST.
32O, 900, 900, or S7720 per mile. The cost
of the English roads is computed at 1927,
600 per mile, and the American at S67,
600; but the former earn three times as
much as the latter, and taking all the
forms of railway debt together pays about
three and one-half per cent interest,
against three per cent in the United
States In the latter country in 1892, 81
per cent. of railroad stock paid no interest
whatever; while in England only limited
fraction was thus in default.
The American system is only begun, and
at present is going through season of
overwhelming trial. That of England
is practically finished. There is no
room there for many more lines of road
any more than there is for any great ac-
cession to her population. The territory
which it serves is small and compact,
differing little in its industrial and
economic conditions from year to year.
In this country it is different, and from
the beginning a large part of our system
has been built in anticipation of future
needs, and been forced to wait for its in
come till population grew up around it.
1t has had variety of conditions to en-
cumbersome of them adverse-which
that of England. built in the midst of a
stable and abundant and wealthy popula-
tion, never had, and it is not surprising
that it should have had its ups and downs
and seasons of trial and vicissitude, nor
even that large amount of its stock
should in evil seasons be in temporary
default. 1t will pick up again when
times are better, and resume its whole

Hon. Albert A. Burleigh.
(Aroostook Republican,


The publication of an article recently in
the Bangor Commercial commenting on
the work done by Hon. Albert A. Burleigh
in bringing to successful completion to
Upper Aroostook the Bangor and Aroos-
took Railroad, reminds us that the county
of Aroostook owes Il debt of gratitude to
Mr. Burleigh that can never be wholly
paid.
1t was Mr. Burleigh that originated
the idea of having the county issue its
bonds to the extent of $500, 600 in aid of
the road.
After the Legislature had passed the
enabling act allowing the county to vote
on the above proposition, Mr.. Burleigh
made one of the most wonderful canvasses
that was ever made by any one except a
politician.
We have before us an abstract of the
first public address Mr.. Burleigh gave on
the subject, which address was given be
fore the Pomona Grange in Caribou, Dec.
-, 1890 This was before the enabling
act was passed and was given in response
to letters that had been pouring in upon
Mr.. Burleigh ever since the publication
of the article in The Aroostook Republican
few weeks before entitled 1.-THE Bur
leigh Scheme" that being the first pub
lication of anything on the subject.
In this address Mr. Burleigh gave per-
fectly clear and ineligible statement in
regard to the scheme and from that time
on, the mass of the people in Aroostook
county We're with him. They had con
fidence in the man and in his Judgment,
and that confidence has never been i'm
paired in the least.
During the building of the road, the
people of the county know what time and
thought he has given to this great enter.
prise, and they also know how he came
| forward last spring, and rather than have
the building of the road delayed, pledged
every dollar of his property toward the
payment of the operatives.
Mr.. Burlcigh's prophecies in regard to
the quantities of freight to be transported
by the new road are being more than full
filled
No one understands Aroostook county
better than Mr.. Burleigh. His work in
surveying the public lands carried him
into every part of it, and he knows that
when this county is fully developed no
railroad ever built in this country pays
or ever has paid better than will the Ban
gor and Aroostook.
The new railroad company has been
fortunate in its choice of officers and
managers, and in its honored president,
Hon Albert A. Burleigh, the people of
Aroostook county know that they have
man who is thoroughly alive to their best
interests.

Congressman MiIIiken's Reply.

Hon. Seth L. Milliken in reply to a
letter asking him to express his prefer
encc for the next speaker of the House
and his opinion of the causes of Republi-
can success has sent the following re-
sponse:
Belfast, Me-, Nov. IA, 1894.
Hon. John A. Stewart, 20 World Build
ing, New York.
Dear Sir.-In reply to your favor of the
9th inst. l have to say that. l shall favor
the election of Hon. Thomas B. Reed of
Maine, to be speaker of the House of
Representatives of the 54th Congress, and
/ assume that he will be chosen without
Republican opposition. His great ability
as a parlamentarian, his leadership in
the past and his conspicuous position be-
fore the nation, doubt not, will easily
ensure to him the office
1.-THE causes Of Republican success" are
that the people after twenty months trial,
have found the Democratic party to be
utterly incompetent to manage the affairs
of the nation.
Its foreign policy has been deplorable
and disgraceful failure. Its attitude to-
(
country has been one of unconcealed
hostility. Its reputation of the economic
policy of jefferson, Madison, jackson and
Clay, its adoption of the unpatriotic and
destructive dogmas of Calhoun, and it's
attempt to enact those dogmas into law
have blasted the prosperity of the land
melted away the wealth of the people and
beggared labor beyond anything of the
/ l.. Ia ~.
and the people resent being ruined by law
The same incompetency which has pros
trated the business of the country has
depleted its revenues until the condition
of the treasury has become alarming and
the credit of the government is placed in
peril. These results contrasted with the
almost phenomenal prosperity, the un-
precedented financial success, the steady
employment of labor, the liberal rate of
wages and the honorable foreign policy of
the government under nearly generation
of Republican ascendency, were sufficient
to open the eyes of a much less intelligent
people than ours to what their best inter
ests demanded,
The Republican party in order to re-
tain its ascendency, should pursue the
same enlightened and patriotic policy
which make it strong and made the coun-
try prosperous and progressive in the past
Its foreign policy should be just to other
nations and at the same time true to our
own.
1t should never forsake the soldiers who
under its guidance and support, saved
the Unions integrity and it should enact
such economic laws as shall encourage
and protect the industries and wages of
our countrymen. so as to inspire conf
dence, give employment to labor and de-
velop the vast and varied resources Of
our own land. 1t should deal honorably
with all nations but not forget that its
first duty is to legislate for the American
people. These things, believe it will do.
Very truly yours,
Seth L. Milliken.
