ON HIS WAY TO ABYSSINIA

 The importance Of Mir. SRnner's mission is reflected in the lively con- ment which 1t has aroused in Germa- ny. and other European countries which have trade relations with Ab- yssinia It is generally cited in the European press as a fresh indicatol of the United States ambition abroad.
 Most of the news from the Negus's empire comes by way of Marseilles. which is the terminal port of the Ji- butt steamers. and MT. Skinner, from his post at Marseilles, has long kept the state department well informed Of the trade conditions and prospects in the African kingdom. Almost with out the knowledge of the American public Abyssinia has been receiving more or less goods from thfs country for many years. The empire has a -oIu.Grcr oi 1c.e- :.es3. a stah.e SOY

Deficiencies Yes, plenty of them and more than q plenty. Al though the school system is the greatest thing of its kind in the world, it has not kept pace with the growth of population.
 Take, for instance, our imperi& city, New York. The other da, when its schools opened there wer; nearly a hundred thousand chil dren for whom ther, was no room. Even with rented buildings an,. whatever temporary Arrangement could be insSe, hi- vast numboS were outside 'rofs--t-.- -ss-.,---s-zsss Ne other centres of population. and if we should take the aggregate of children in large cities We find that there are moro than half million for whom therp are not adequate accommodations.
 All thrs IS not only an injustice to the children and to their parents who pay taxes, but it is a misfor- tune to the community and to the country.
 For the public schools must be looked upon as a paying invest ment frem political point of view By educating the new generation it adds to the wealth of the nation and the well-being of society. Ig- porance Is sthe most expensive thing in the world; enlightenment is the most profitable.
 There is another evil which is a disgrace to ns as a people. and That is the interference of politics with public school management. - The other day in Philadelphia, which IS often called the most American. of cities, it was shown in the courts that the local machine had levied assessments on the pub lie school teachers, and that their appointments in some, instances had been given for considerations.
 In other sections the relation of spells politics to education is per- fectly well known and admitted. In all such cases the consequences are deplorable. False standards are erected; educational interests are sacrificed and the children suffer. A serious handicap is, therefore, placed upon the rising generation all through the selfishness and cupidity of men who know better. hut who persist in their evil de-

Still, even in this respect, a change IS coming every year. Poli- ties is losing its hold on the sys- tenn. In some sections the separa- ton IS complete; in others, the gain is rapid. With what has been done in the past decade and with what is being. done today, it is not too mpch to say that the dawn of com pkAf liberty for the public schools i1almost in sight
 {Then we shall see the system rise !. t4 its nobler heights. and all the gAd that. has bern- done will be
 1all compared with the benefits ht are to come.
 Ihere is m9re.ip the little red chooIhouse than a phrase Of a d dbtiment:. We do not slight the cEy institution when we say that the country schoolhouse has in it usefulness peculiarly its own. In 1t teacher and pupil come into closer contact, and there is that fact of personal relationship and personal influence which is impossible when the classes are large and the stu depts number hundreds and thou sands.
 From the little red schoolhouse have come most of our statesmen, our successful business men and our leaders in the works of benevo- fence, philanthropy and reform. In 1t have been teachers who after ward rose to the highest positions, including several Presidents of the United States, scores of Congress- men, authors, editors, inventors men who figure permanently in the pages of history.
 The little red schoohouse flies the flag of the greatest people on earth. It is the sign and signal in every part of the country to which ali eyes may turn with pride with out regard to politics or religion. It is the one place in which every one has common interest, and he IS poor American who can gaze upon it without the consciousness of deep and abiding satisfaction.
 So there it is, the public school system--our finest achievement, our most splendid hope. , He who attacks 1t hits us all; he who helps = q. ,,lir common henefacfor

service, service in public life, serv- ice in private enterprises, service in the mart and in the home-and service IS the estimate and the proof of civilization, whether if be high or low, narrow or broad
 In the first place, the public school, by education, makes service more intelligent. In the second place, by incrlt'ating those princi- pies of liberty-AL' manhood which are inseparab lowl- edge, it brip 'ce a breadth and arc in the h;Gh"c'

 Sure" was his reply, "do you expect all the cardinal virtues for $l3 a month";
 We do not expect that in our soldiers, but it is a fact that we look for t in our school teachers and the remarkable thing is that We come very near getting it.
 It IS simply-sstonnding the qual- ity of work we get in our schools for the paltry wages that we pay There has. heep considerable im- provement, but the average com pensation of the devoted men and women to whom we entrust our children. IS aD far below what they deserve that 1t cuts sorry figure in this age when we boast of our prosperity and count new millions of wealth over night.
 Still, as we say, there has been improvement, and the improvement must go on until the school teacher is paid as well as any other servant whose work calls for trained intel Iigcnce. .t
 1t IS pleasant. to think that all over the country there Is splendid awakening. The new school houses are of far higher grade than ever before. They are built with a due regard for sanitation and the prop CT amount of air to each pupil. They arc made attractive. sThey conduee to the general welfare, and they are undoubtedly potent ele- ment m the increase of longevity

If you are fond of statistics you will find the most inspiring figures, not in the millions of square miles which form our national area, not in the stupendous billions which make the country's wealth, not in population or property or trans portation, but in the public school system, which is beyond all com parison the greatest thing in the world today.
 There are nearly 100000 teach CTS under whom are 6,0OO,O0O pus pills, 12,000,000 of VI apm are regu- larly to be found d their desks fa!tn4s fpaa!4tn4ss icf the smpo5 s-...ss of American citizenship.
 Probably no other subject is more generally discussed or IS pro- ductive of more words in printed pages than the public school sys- tem. Its evils are daily magnifed. Much of the energy of enlightened public opinion is used to separate 1t from practical politics. Much of the scheming of practical poh- tics IS employed in getting posses sion of it's appointments and it's contracts .On the one side ex- treme rel'gionists assail its secular ity; ol Ohe other side, atheists complain that it recognizes certain elemental beliefs common to all ereeds.
 But, m spite of this, every year sees the system advanced, the num- Der of school houses increased, thousands added to its totals and a splendid uplift in all its plans and purposes.
 Today, the high-school course, open to the young people of the United States, is equal to the col lege course of hundred years ago-a fact that in itself proves more than all the grumblers can show and makes the educational optimist sure of his ground.
 Are you a business man? Are you spender? Are you a bread winner Are you woman2
 It makes no difference what you are, whether you have children or not, whether you arc married or unmarried. whether you employ people 'o do your work or are em- ploycd by another - ibe public school res~hes you every bonr of the day. ~
