DENVER (Col.), July 1l.--The morning
Educational Association was devoted to
patriotic addresses. The general subject
under discussion was the duty and Op-
portunity of the schools in promoting
patriotism, and it provoked many en-
thuslastic expressions from the teachers
which were warmly applauded.
The business OF the day opened with
the report OF the Nominating Committee,
which was unanimously adopted.
Geo. II. Martin, Supervisor of Schools,
Boston, read a paper on New Standards
of Patriotic Citizenship" He said: 1.-The
American idea of patriotism is the out
growth OF centuries of struggle for per-
sOnal and political freedom. Men have
fought and died to secure and defend
wha. they have called their rights. So it
has come abou. that our idea OF patriot
Is OF man with u sword, who loves his
country and is willing to die for it. 1t is
important to know what is TO become OF
this sentiment. The idea that The only
field Tor patriotism is to exhibit itself in
war or civil commissions must give way.
10 educate youth up TO The new standard,
We must study the historic patriotism to
learn the spirit which underlays and
prompts the deed-the spirit of sacrifice
OF self Tor the public welfare.
"Ihe nrst requirement Tor the new
patriot is sound manhood, personal in
egrlty ana righteousness. Independent
ana sell-supporting producers are needed
rom the top to the bottom of society.
We need revival of the Old sense OF per-
sonal responsibility. Men need to feel
that TO vote, 10 serve on juries and to hold
public Office at sacrifice of personal
interests is to-day the highest patriotism.
Personal interest and partisan prejudice
must give way to the demand for clean,
busin ess-like administration of all public
affairs"
James Baldwin, Austin, Texas, fol-
lowed in a brief address on patriotism
in the South Land" He said that no
section OF the country felt more love fer
the republic to-day than lhe South.
Southern people recognize that the cause
of the Confederacy is lost, and they are
glad it is SO.
y. p. Marble, Superintendent OF
Schools, Omaha, spoke OIL The Ethical
Element in Patriotism" Discussion was

the Female High School, Louisville, Ky,
who spoke the warmest love for his na-
tive land. He did not want to be any
thing but an American citizen, and
called upon the teachers to make lessons
IN national pride prominent in their
schools.
G. b. Gilbert, Superintendent OF
Schools Of st. Paul, Mimi, thought the

the lessons Of patriotism, and congratu-
lated America on the fact that her school
teachers were her most patriotic citizens.
