/ lessons of due subOrdinatiOn TO author
ity shall be taught. The family and
the school are the beginning Of the fun
damental element of good citizenship
and obedience TO law; respectful de-
I ference TO public authority; a selfsae-
rificing purpose to stand by established
and orderly administration of the gov
ernment.
Ladies and gentlemen, your presence
here shows Us that we are welcome.
1t is encouraging 10 know that the good
| people all over our land are heartily in
sympathy with our work. The intel
lect Is the region of cold abstraction.
1t touches life in seeking ways and
means Of action, but without reaching
the better side of human nature-sym-
patby-it is colo, hard, cherries, and
oflentimes cruel. Sorrow and suffer
ing, misery and wretchedness are ey-
eFywhere. Shall these ills be lessened
by our work Is it better to alleviate
the sum of human woe, or contribute
to il? Is it better to instill into the
hearts and consciences of our boys and
girls respect for truth and happiness Of
others, than to seek advantages by re-
sorting to cunning and sharp practices?
imagine which of these two theories
you believe TO be the more important.
We need your sympathy just as much
as the pupils need our sympathy. fOu
sympathize with the work in which
we are engaged because you see in il
the safety of our country, but what is
more, perhaps, the safety of society.
Give Us that communicating touch of
sympathy, and it will shed its eneour-
aging influence wherever il goes.
The citizen, and we have him, vino
cri;icises the teacher and his work, yet
never crosses the threshold of the
school room is a menace To the schools
and menace 10 his country. Then,
let no dark spots of envy, hatred, mall
ice or jealousy be found lurking in the
heart of any one connected with the
public school system and, if there
should be one unfortunate so distressed,
let the fcul stain be wiped cut or
snothered forever.
In the days of Horace Mann, when
the few public schools in Massachu-
sets were considered Is charity schools,
which, by his indOmnitable will and
courage, and by the mastery power of
his work and elOquence, became the
pride of the State and nation-that
which stood in the way of progress
then, stands in its way, in a less de
gree, nOw-''it is the indifference and
apathy Of the people" But our insti-
tutes in this grand commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, whose public schools
are also the pride OF the State and ma
ton, are doing grand work to dispel
this indifference and change the
apathy into enthusiasm, sympathy and
interest in our work.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, again
thank you. May our stay in your
midst be pleasant and profitable one,
not only to Us but to you also, and as
each succeeding year passes by, may
the teachers who will come up from all
over thu county to this beautiful town,
receive as cordial a welcome as We have
received to-day.

OR FIRST LOAN.
Made Payable in Tobacco By the Con-
tiaental Congress.

Two curious facts were brought into
prominence by Register Tiliman in his
recent report. They are that the first
loan made by the United States was
made payable in tobacco, and that See
retary Alexander Hamilton negotiated
a loan in the absence of any law au-
thOrizing him to do 80. The loan made
payable in tobacco was authorized by
resolution of the Continental congress
on December -, 1776. The length Of
the loan was indefinite, and the
amount authorized was $4,000 600.
The amount issued was SlSl 800, which
sold at par, with interest AT , per cent.
This was received June {, 1777, from
the Farmers General of France. The
purpose TO which the loan was applied
was the ''purchase<Of supplies and to
aid the bgilding of cruisers To prose
cute the war Of the revolution The
interest on Sl53, ,6SS.S9, the balance of
this loan, ceased December 81, 1913,
when it was merged into the general
account of the French debt. In those
days tobacco passed as currency be
tween the colonies.
In ITS9 Secretary Hamilton, tn e
First Secretary of the Treasury Of the
United Sfqt---sr ftrs'.ss.-,,-- -, Rev
d .-.>1es-after the war of e1,IsV,--
sutton, found the treasury without
funds. On his own responsibility he
negotiated loan for Sl0i, Sos 81. II
sold at par, with per cent. interest.
The first issue OF this loan was Septen-
Der IS, l7SJ, and June 5, 1880, was
named as the date of final redemption
and the duties on imports and TONNAGE
were set aside To meet it. The money
was obtained from the bank Of New
York and the bank of North Amerie,.
The Secretary said: Obvious coasiders-
tons dictate the propFiety in future
cases Of making previous provision by
law for such loans as the public ex'-
gencies may call for, defining their ex-
tent and giving special authority 10
make them
a third loan followed under the set
of Congress of March p, 1870. Itwas
negotiated by President Washington,
and the amount issued was $1,000.
The contract for the loan provided for
its repayment upon similar terms 50
the preceding loan from the bank of
New York, the revenues derived from
duties on imports and tonnage being
pledged for its redemption. The money
was needed for the compensation of the
members and employees Of Congress,
the payment of the salaries of the civil
list, etc, and of arrears of interest ON
the Dutch loans.
There was in the treasury at the time
a sum not exceeding $4,000. Other
loans fol oS, d in quick succession, d
their hist )ry as reeited in Register Till
mans report, contains Invaluable in
formation for students of Government
finances.
