PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN AMERICA.
They Date Back to the Settlement Of Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut.

sachusetts and Connecticut.
The origin of the public school system
of America dates back to the time of the
settlement of Massachusetts and Connect
icut In the very beginning of their his
tory these colonists made provision for the
establishment of schools in every town,
and parents were required to send their
children to them or educate them other
wise. At first these schools were not en-
tirely free--that is, those who could pa
were required to do so-but the evil of Sc
arating the children into paupers and rate
payers in time became apparent, and short
ly after the colonies became states the
school taxes were increased and the schools
were made free.
Tho example of these colonists was
quickly followed by other New England
colonies, but in other sections of the coun-
try schools were either private or parochial
for many years, except in cases where a
free school was established and supported
by private beneficence. When the vast
territories west of the Allegheny noun
tains came into the possession of the Unit
ed States, every sixteenth section in each
congressional township was set aside by
tho government as nucleus of u public
school fund. Later this was increased to
two sections for the benefit of the newer
states
The southern states were the last to en-
brace the free school system in its entirety,
having done SO only since the close of the
civil war Maine, Vermont, Massachu-
sets, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New
York, New Jersey, Kansas, Nevada, Wis
consin, Ohio, Michigan, California, Ari-
IONA, Wyoming and Washington have COM
pulsory educational laws.

The days passed rapidly. and despite
the pain he suffered they were happy

ever by his cot encouraging him with
her devoted love. Nor was she alone
in her attentions to the wounded man.
Every officer and lady in the garrison

the kindest attention, their hearts
glowing with admiration for his hero

not true. Lieut. Vandever never came
near him. That officer now kept close
in the seclusion of his own quarters
only when obliged to come forth on
duty. When his troop was ordered

sistance of Brown In his defense of the
commanders daughter Vandever
pleaded illness and took to his bed for
a day. The looks of contempt which
were cast at him by the other officers
after that day made his life one not to
