OUR FIRST FREE SCHOOL,
1t Was Established In massachusetts
In the Year 1911.

The first free school established in
the United States was in the province
of Massachusetts Bay in the year 1911
by order of the general colonial court
In 1G47 the same authority declared
that free schools should be established
within every town having fifty house
holders under penalty of fine of IS.
This fine was doubled by a declaration
made in 1911 and again doubled in
1858. Connecticut established free
schools in 1914 and levied tax for
their support. Maryland established
free schools in 1904 and levied tax on
negroes, pelts. furs and beef and pork
for their support. Governor Berkeley
declared in 1919 the hope that free
schools would never be esta blshed in
Virginia, but the towns of Charleston
and Elizabeth did establish them in
that year, and Elizabeth set aside 200
acres of land and eight cows. the in
crease from which was applied to sup
port the schools. -Four years later the
number of cows had increased to forty.
Pennsylvania was settled by Penn on
the Delaware river in 1851, and the
same year a free school, which is still
conducted under the auspices of the
Friends, or Quakers. was established
In Philadelphia. Among the decara-
tons of Penn in his frame of govern
ment" he asserted this immortal truth,
long since forgotten by the men who
have been responsible for the govern
ment of the commonwealth: "Any gov
eminent is free to the people under it,
whatever be the frame, where the law
rules, and the people are party to
those laws. More than this is tyranny,
oligarchy and confusion" This SEN
tence is inscribed in bronze tablet i'm
placed in the walls of Independence
hall.

THE CITY OF MEkINEZ.
One of the Royal Residences Of the
Sultan Of Morocco.

One OF the Royal Residences Of the
Sultan Of Morocco.
There is no more interesting city in
Morocco than Mekinez. Founded and
built by Mulai Ismain, the tyrannical
sultan who reigned through the middle
of the eighteenth century, it still dis
plays the extraordinary buildings which
he caused to tie erected. largely by the
aid of Christian slaves. Today it is i'm
possible even to guess the purposes for
which many of these masses of mason
~ were constructed. Walls of great
thickness. some wide enough to drive a
carriage and pair along. are met with
in the most unexpected places. running
here parallel, here at right angles to
one another, and seeming as though
built for no purpose except for the en-
ployment of the vast number Of forced
laborers that Mulai Ismain always kept
at his court. Here and there are gate
ways of great beauty, such as the deli
cate tiled gate of "Mansur el-Alj," with
its large marble columns and Corin-
THAN capitals. supporting buttress of
gray stone and arabesques, but on the
whole it is rather the vastness of the
buildings than any artistic value that is
remarkable.
The old palaces of Mulai Ismain are
in ruins today, and each sultan in his
turn has erected new residences till
the imperial palace today consists of a
collection OF buildings of every shape
and size. scattered among gardens in
closed by high walls. A tower. which
was uncompleted at the time of the late
sultan's death. remains today just as
the workmen left it. with the scaffold-
ing still standing. Adjoining the pal
ace is a large park. in which are kept
number of mares, ostrichcs and ga
Zelles.
The city itself is tolcrably clean. and
possesses no particular features that
are not common to all Moorish towns.

Major Pond. the lecture manager,
was negotiating with John Kendrick

made some inquiries as to the scope of
the lecture, and Bangs replied that it
began with Adam and Eve and came
down to the present day.
Cant you give 'em something older

CHICAGO GETS IT.
National Republican Convention
Will Be Held There.
Committee Fixes on June 21
AS the Date.
PORTO RICANS HEARD.
They Ask for Representation
by Delegates.
Senator Scott Heads Commit
tee on Arrangements.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Chicago has
been selected as the place for holding
the next national Republican conven-
ton.
The committee fixed June 81 at Il
o'clock as the time for the meeting OF
the convention.
The Republican national committee
resumed it's session at the Arlington to-
day to take up the work of deciding on
the place and time for holding the next
Republican national convention.
1t was 1920 o'clock when Chairman
Hanna called the meeting to order and
announced that there were two Porto
Ricans present, representing the Re
publican party of that island. He said
they would be given q hearing. Com
munications were read by Secretary
Heath from the Federal and Republican
parties of Porto Rico, both claiming
representation in the meeting.
Mayor Todd, of San Juan, represent
ing the Republican party, then ap-
peare before the committee and gave
a brief history of that party. which he
said was established in July, 1899. the
federal party was established some
time after this. he said. Each party is
represented by two members in the
local senate. His party, he stated,
controls $4,000 out of 131, 900 registered
voters.
The aim of this party was to Amer
icanize the islands and stand by the
administration. Porto Rico, he said,
wanted to be represented in the next
Republican convention.
Jose Broisero, also representing the
Republican party, followed Mayor
Todd. He emphasized the good that it
would do the party to be given recog-
milton by the committee. He declared
that the party was coming anyway
to the convention.
Chairman Hanna said that further
consideration of the matter would be
had in executive session.
The question of selecting a city ir
which to hold the convention was ther
taken up.
The offers made by the different cities
was S40,0 600 by St. Louis, $50 900 by Chica-
go and 100000 by Pittsburg. After some
discussion the Chicago proposition was
raised by Committeeman Stewart to $75,-
900. he guaranteeing that Chicago would
contribute that amount to pay the ex-
penses of the assembling of the conven-
tion in that city.
The committee on arrangements for the
convention are: Senator NJ B. Scott CIV.

ter General Payne, Harry S. New of In
dianapolis and R. B. Schneider of Ne
