Well. IL occurred away back In December. ITS.
when these colonies were engaged in the
laudable task of teaching England that there
was at least one part of the earth which she
couldn't fence in and use as backyard to her
European empire. At that time there was a
big British force down at Newport. IL was
British for Doodle only, however. tor those
soldiers had never seen England. and were
only fighting in the British cause for the
money there was in IL. They were. in word.
the Hessian mercensries who cut such COLI
temptihle figure in American history. Well.
these hessians were at*Newport. when. on
December %. 1873. there came a storm. which
In severity had not been equaled mp to that
time Many of the Hessians who were on
guard duty were frozen to death at their
posts, while others perisbed while trying TO
reach their quarters. The number Of lives
lost history does not state, but the memory OF
the Hessian storm fingered long afterward in
the minds Of the people Of Rhode Island.

There Is no doubt that there Is relation
between education and crime. British
statistics show plainly enough for blind
man to see that the wider the educational
privileges arc extended the lower is the
ratio of crime How could IL be otherwise?
A great many crimes are committed by
men who are not totally depraved, because
they have no resources and don't know
how to get a living. An education gives
them opportunities. II makes them self
reliant, and IL they can't do one thing they
do another. The temptation to lead q
vicious life Is thereby weakened. The
world is pretty bad world, and yet be-
lievo that tho men who prefer crime TO
virtue are very rare exceptions. Nearly
everybody would he reasonably honest IL
