. .tr.uoe country; We should therefore mske
conscience not to misIend them." -Locke.
The interest which the general public
has in what is popularity known as
.sChildrcn's Day" was shown yesterday
when the tribunes were filled to their ut
most capacity to witness the review OF
TIM school children by her majesty the
queen.
And what a mighty outpouring OF
Young folk It seemed! Column after
column marched through the gates and
I'D through the tribunes. and only the
limit of the amphitheater's capacity
seemed to put bounds upon the Influx Oh
young people. To the children 1t was.
doubtless, a great thing to pass In re
view before her majesty, and while each
school saluted and youthful leyes were
bent up toward the queen and court
representative of the school stepped for
ward and handed to the gentlemen IN
waiting that particular schools gift OF
flowers. Some of these were exquisitely
bee zutiful, consisting of fancy baskets
laden with choicest blossoms culled from
the gardens. Others were very modest
offerings, but the spirit displayed was
the same in each case and indicated the
affection of these little ones-the nope
OF the nation. Her majesty was sur
rounded by flowers; they lay around her
feet, they lined the carpeted stairway
and were banked up Wherever a resting
place could be found for them. The two
pages were kept busy carrying the Of
ferings from the children to the fair
young monarch, who smiled her thanks
and appreciation in return.
But while all this was very sweet ana
pleasant, the presence of over 5000 school
children ma ssed together was calculat-
ed to make the average citizen look be-
meath the surface of the ceremonies and
think for moment. The present only be-
longs to US, the future is the heritage OF
these boys and girls. What are they go
ing to make of their opportunities? Each
child carried miniature flag, and witt
hand upliftcd in salute to the emblem
took the pledge that may mean so much
and, on the other hand, may mean so lit
tie.
II pledge allegiance to my flag and the
republic for which 1t stands; one nation
indiyisible, with liberty and justice for
ALL" Those are brave words to be hid
den behind the starry symbol, but every
little heart swelled as the pledge was
solemnly pronounced and the exercises
of yesterday can but have an ennobling
influence upon the participants.

caught by the spectators in the trib-

OF SCIENCE are to be revealed, or
what are to be the ACHIEVEMENTS
OF ARTS AND LETTERS, for the

this.
