voice and short of wind. Then it lulled
itself to prepare for another outburst.
The second came when in Strident tones,
Congressman William Sulzer introduced
the governor of Illinois as the tribune of
the middle west Standing on their seats,
yelling like madmen, waving little flags,
the entire audience broke forth in cheer
after cheer. The applause fell and rose
alternately for fully five minutes. Henry
George was among those who were APP
plauded by the crowd present. After a
speech by Fred Schraub, the democratic
candidate for acknowledgements, the
following telegram was read:

only irish female on the rostrum she felt
proud in standing beside such an able
German-American as Governor Altgeld,
who was a friend of the laboring masses.
She said that Governor Altgeld's name
would yet be placed alongside that of JEFF
ferson of Washington and of Lincoln.
After the Cooper union meeting Gov
ernor Altgeld was entertained at dinner
by Mr.. j. Herrings. managing editor of

trace several conflicting ideals Here we
still find the ecclesiastical ideal, from
which was born the educational system
of New England, and from which en-
anated Harvard and many other great
Institutions of learning In many COM
munties this ideal still prevails, as rep
resented in UNCONVENTIONAL and parochial
schools.
Another ideal is the Industrial; the
youth of the land are taught that educa-
ton is simply the means of obtaining a
livelihood. Young men so to school that
they may enter a trade or profession.
Again, many teachers make the mistake
of unduly magnifying the political ideal,
and young men are early taught that the
goal of their existence is the political
arena.
While any one of these three ideals,
taken by itself is insufficient, all are inn
portant as factors in the highest educa-
tional end, which may be denominated
the social ideal While the youth of the
land are prepared for citizenship and for
Industrial pursuits, and while the highest
and the noblest moral and religious pre-
cepts are inculcated, they must be
trained to live completely in their present
environment.
The social ideal is the sum of all pre-
vious ideals, and aims to make every in
dividual a factor in the ultimate redemp-
ton of humanity. The mass of mankind
sink into tombstones indicate no word or
deed for the uplifting of the race, Among
the agencies of this modern ideal may be
mentioned physical culture; the strength
of chain is that OF its weakest link; the
strength and material of a tool are as i'm
portant as its edge. A cultured mind is
important without physical development.
Another important agency is that of
manual training; when the laborer is
taught the dignity and nobility of labor
and the rich mans son is trained in hand
icraft class will no longer be arrayed
against class, but they will work to-
gether in mutual sympathy for the high
est good of all. Other agencies that pow
erfully attend towards the attainment
of this ideal have the introduction of the
physical sciences, literature. drawing and
music into the public schools of the land.

MAINE INDUSTRY.
Canning Among tho Latest Bust
ness Ventures.

Thomas Parkerson & Son of Moose
river who have made several very sue
oessful experiments during the past lew
years have decided to create demand
fol the unlimited supply Of rabbits in
Washington county. A few years ago
the rabbit industry was the life of many
towns, when they were shipped for the
Boston market at only FIVE cents apiece.
There were men who made money at 1t
then. But the Parkerson scheme IL to
have them cleaned. cooked and canned
in good shape. Tho Parkerson process
makes them sweet and tender as chicken.
The Parkersons are old time sardine
packers and are positive that they know
what they are doing. When 1t has been
proved that the rabbit ia really worth
more than chicken, factories are likely to
spring up in Gouldsboro, Jonesport,
Dennysville and other rabbit producing
towns and rabbit hunting will be profit
able.
