The Secret Of Chicago.

1t was in 1887 that Chicago became an
incorporated place. 1t was in 1880 that
it was laid out and definitely settled and
named. Thus, it is only sixty-six, or, at
most, seventy-three years old. Why
then, does it thus modestly pretend that
it's stupendous achievements are the re-
suit of a hundred years of activity?
Why has it selected this year and this
time of the year for its centennial cele-
bration? Because in the early fall of
1908 the white man first definitely took
his stand in the marshes which were to
yield up mighty Chicago like an exhala-
ton. This first stand was a fort-Eort
Dearborn-and it disappeared, and all the
white men with it, in the War of 1912.
For eighteen years thereafter the marshes
were untroubled save by the fastening
savage and the pioneer Fastening after
him. Then came the canal connecting
Lake Michigan with the Mississippi River
system, by way of the adjacent head
waters of the Illinois River-this in 1927.
And in 1880 Chicago was born because
there must inevitably be a town at so
important spot as the meeting of East
and West the junction of the Great
Lakes system extending to the East with
the Mississippi River system extending
to the West and South. When nature
tossed up that little watershed, she
planted her forbidding marshes in vain
for, the place of skunks," the word Chi
cago is said to mean in the Indian tongue,
was bound to be a great city.
Today it is the fifth city in the world,
and in ten years it will be the fourth. 1t
is the epitome of the country. More than
forty languages are spoken in it; it is the
largest city of second and third genera
ton Americans except Philadelphia; it is
the second largest Bohemian city in the
world the third largest Norwegian city,
the fourth largest Polish city, the fifth
largest German city, 1t is more cosmo-
politan than New York. yet it is in all
probability the most intensely American
of our large cities. Into it, to become its
guides and leaders, drain energetic, eager,
intelligent youth from the towns and
farms of all that mighty and magnificent
Western country. And VIGOROUSLY the
West has a pride in the Republic of today
that is only equalled by its pride and
confidence in the Republic that is to be
tomorrow.-[Collier's Weekly.

What Schools Should Cherish.

Finally, there are certain sentiments
which every school, public, private, or en-
lowed, ought to help to strengthen and
foster in the minds and hearts of its pu-
pills The world is still governed by senti-
ments, and not by observation, acquisi-
ton, and reasoning; and national great
ness and righteousness depend more on
cultivation of right sentiments in the
children than on anything else.
Now, the sentiments which American
schools ought to cherish and inculcate
are family love, respect for law and pub
lie order love of freedom, and reverence
for truth and righteousness Incidentally
but necessarily they ought also to teach
the doctrine that we are all members one
of another. Fortunately this last doctrine
can be amply and forcibly Illustrated by
the experience of every household. The
immediate dependence Of one household
on many others, and of one community
upon many others, has really become for
midable during the last century; since
every individual has become dependent on
many other people-mostly strangers
for the most absolute necessaries OF life.
1t is high time that direct and vigorous
incubation of the fundamental and indis-
pensabe social sentiment should be de-
liberately made a part of the discipline or
every school and college in the country.
There is not a religion, or a religious de-
nomination. in the world which does not
recognize these sentiments, or which OBJ
jects to any of them; and religious diff
ferences should not be allowed to prevent
the teaching of these primary principles
to all the children in the land.-[Pres.

lantic.
