There Is nothing dearer to our hearts
than our public school system, by which
free primary education is provided for
every one within our borders. The
higher education, such as Is provided
by the University Of Pennsylvania and

benefits 10 those able to take advantage
OF It, but entails upon them correspond

FOUNDERS OF NATION.
The men who founded this nation
had to deal with theories Of government
aud the fundamental principles Of free
Institutions. We are now concerned
with a different set OF questions, for
the Republic has been firmly establish
ed, its principles thoroughly tested and
fully approved. To merely political
issues have succeeded those OF grave
social and economic Importance, the
solution Of which demands the best
efforts of the best mel We have a
right to expect that a wise and leading
part In the effort to attain this solution
Will be taken by those who have been
exceptionally blessed in the matter Of
obtaining an education. That college
graduate Is but q poor creature who
does not feel when he has left college
that he has received something for
which he owes a return What he thus
owes he can ns rule only pay by the
way he bears himself throughout life.
IL Is hut occasionally that a college
graduate can do much outright for his
alma mater he can best repay her by
living q lie that will reflect credit
upon her by so carrying himself as
citizen that mon shall see that the years
spent in training him have not been
wasted. The educated man Is entitled
10 no special privilege, save the ines
Unable privilege Of trying to show
that his education enables MIN TO take
the lead In striving TO guide his fellows
Alright In the difficult task which is set
TO us OF the twentieth century. The
problems before MS today are very COM
pick, and arc widely different from
those which the men OF Washington's
generation had to face; but we can
overcome them surely and we can over
come them only II we approach them
in the sprit which Washington and
Washngton's great supporters brought
10 bear upon the problems Of their day
the spirit Of sanity and OF courage
the spirit which combines hard COM
mon sense with the loftiest dealism.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

Although the ceremony differed lit
tie from those that have preceded it, in
the great sea of spectators probably
there was a larger number of repre-
sentative Americans than any inaug-
uration has brought to Washington
The eastern states were rivalled in
point of attendance by reason of Pres
ident Roosevelt's great popularity in
the middle and far west. Delegates
were present from every one of the in
sular possessions.
The movements of the gathering
troops and organizations were not all
the crowd had for it's entertainment.
Directly in it's front preparations were
in progress for the Inauguration itself.
A monster stand in the form of an
open amphitheatre had been erected
on line with the rotunda Of the capi-
tol.
At about / o'clock the official party
came through the main door. Cheers
were sent up from the multitude.
The official entrance was dramatic.
All except those who were participating
in the ceremony were seated. When
the justices of the supreme court, with
the exception of Chief Justice Fuller,
emerged from between the pillars and
marched down the sloping aisle to
their station, they were greeted with
applause. Then came the members of
the diplomatic corps in their gorgeous
uniforms After them came members
of the cabinet, senators and repre-
sentatives in congress.

step of the chief justice, the president

AT sign from Chief Justice Fuller

over the crowd. The president raised
his right hand and the oath to support
the laws and constitution of the Uni
ted States was taken amid deer
silence. When this had been concluded

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND VICE PRESIDENT
FAIRBANKS TAKE THE OATHS OF OFFICE

there was practically NO demonstra-
ton and the president began his in
augural address.
When the president finished speak
ing he re-entered the capitol and as
signal was flashed to the navy yard and
the roar of 21 guns was begun in Of
fetal salute to the president.
In the presence of as many Of his
fellow citizens as could be crowded
into the senate chamber, Charles War
rem Fairbanks was at noon inducted
into the office of vice president of the
United States. The ceremony was
quickly followed by the final adjourn
ment of the senate, the beginning of a
special session, an address by the vice
of almost a third of the membership
of the senate.
Washington, March 6.--After taking
the oath of office at the capitol on
Saturday President Roosevelt, accom-
panied by his escort and followed by
the troops and civilian paraders,
started for the White House. 1t was
the most perfect column that ever
marched in an individual parade,
though its numbers were less.
While the whole military column
was marvel and delight, as indi-
Gated by the continuing tornado of
cheers where it passed, there were
elements of special interest The
Ninth cavalry, that splendid colored
regiment, the heroes of many Indian
battles and known to fame at San
Juan Hill, received the attention they
merited. The crowds went wild over
the section of Rough Riders which
participated with the president in the
victory at Santiago. The scouts from
the Philippines and the Porto Rice
battalion excited intense interest.
Turning from tho pageant of the
day, the population of the city dispos
ed itself for the three imposing spec.
tacles of the night, the promenade al
the pension office, misnamed a ball
the fireworks on the White lot and the
dazzling street decorations.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1905-03-10

The fireworks exceeded all previous
displays.
In the pension building the music,
instrumental and the trained orches-
ira of 5000 voices filled the vast build
ing to it's remotest recesses with the
perfection of musical attainment. In
Difference to the Sabbath, all cere-
monies stopped at midnight, but IT
was well toward morning before the
lights were turned down on the most
brilliant spectacle that Washington
had seen in its long line of notable oc-
casionS.
