Principal Dresser read paper on "The

subject OF good government Will lead to a

tons and give us better citizens. The

good citizenship rs man who cannot

consequently the home is the proper place
to begin such instruction, but the parent
Is often incapable of he work.
This duty, then, falls on he teachers.
In order that they can perform this duty
thoroughly, the state ought to insist
upon a course of study in our common
schools, which most affects its greatest
good. Teachers are power that com
mands recognition, and If they unite in
demanding this of the state, they " i'll OBJ

pursuit of political knowledge. This
knowledge Is PRACTICAL for 1t concerns
society and society cannot exist without
government.
"Montesquieu says: The laws OF edu-
cation are the first impressions we receive,
and, rs they prepare us for civil life, each
particular family ought to be governed
pursuant to the plan of that great family
which governs them all This applies to
all kinds of government, but most OF all
to republic.

people and by the people calls for thor
