of hope to those good people who are
in despair about the worlds moral
condition. They have gathered up
appalling statistics. They tell of the
number of divorces, but do not take
into consideration that there are a
thousand happy homes where there
is one of marital discord. They tell
you of the large number in our land
who are living profigate lives, but
forget to mention that there are mill
lions of men and women who are do
ing the best they can. They tell you
the number of drunkeries in this
country, but fail to mention the
thousands of glorious churches with
two doors, one door open for all who
will enter for pardon and consola ton
and the other door opening into the
Heavens for the ascent of souls pre-
pared for translation.
Those pessimists do not realize
that two inventions of our times are
going to make it possible under God
to bring this whole world into saliva
Bile and millenial condition within a
few weeks after those two inventions
shall be turned into the service of
God and righteousness, as they will
be. I refer to the telegraph and the
telephone. If you think that God al
lowed those two inventions to DO

ton concerning the price of railroad

Address by George A. Blake, Esq PreSi-
dent of the Board of Cecil County
School Commissioners.

George \ Blake. ESD, County President
# the school Board, was one of those max
ing addresses at the celebration by the
Ch"sapcnkc City High School on Friday
evening, last week, in observance of Wash
iuStons birthday.
MIR Blake after expressing his pleasure in
being present and cOngratulatng the school
upon tn" interest shown in the celebration
stated that he hoped all the schools of the
county would Observation-Disclosures the example
He said that in an examination Of the
factsof Nashington's fcthree things would
csnccially he learned viii h would be of the
highest value for members of the school
First the lesson of patriotism He said
that AT the present time we often. especially
in the heat of political campaigns imagine
that patriotism has depa ted or at least
that our party contains all of the patriots
and IN" opposition all of the faithlcss. He
said that such Il view is narrow and indl-
Gates only spirit of pcSsimism on the part
OF its possrsSors When we look back at
Washington we all recognize him as "a
patriot and also all realize that the Princi
pies hC loved are rs firmly held by us as
ever before He said in speaking of the
tendency at This tm"to decry the patriotism
nt public men that the same was true in
Washington : day and that no on' was more
ii"rr"ly asSaiicd than he Now however We
all recognize him aS the embodiment of un
selfish patriotism and can see that he has
been placed at the beginning of our
natural life "a an object lesson for all sue
ccnding generations of Americans
Second, that Washington was friend of
education and learning. He cOntrHSt"d the
small advantages which Washington had for
securing an education as compared with
those Of tn" boys and girls of our county at
this tim" The merits OF our common
school system and the range of its studies
were explained and the fortunnt" condition
Of the people of Chesapeake City and the
surrounding country in possessing n lIIsn
School was set forth He said that without
cent OF rXPrns" to the patrons beyond the
amount Of school tax they had paid for
years, II High School Of an advanced
character had been established at that place
fire" 80 ali II" said that property values in
consequence were really % per cent greater
now than before that school was established,
in the vicinity of Chesapeake City
He expressed qualification at the interest
shown 10y tn" citizens of the community in
the school and predicted that its usefulness
would greatly increase in time
Third that Washington was an example
OF tru" moral greatness which after all was
his browning glory. Washington was Il
christian and it has been said of him that
his prayers accomplished more than his
sword He alluded to his incorruptiblc in
tegrity and faithiulncSS. He said that this
is Il most essential lesson for our youth be-
cause learning alone may make for us u
generation of criminals but that IL rning
and true moral principle togcthe', based on
love and reverence for God and his law
will give us generations of true and noble
men and women
