Recognition by Colleges Of Importance
OF American Story.
A little more than thirty years ago
a boy could enter Harvard college and
after four years graduate with the
highest honors without knowing Of
the existence of the declaration Of in
dependence or when the constitution
Of the United States was framed, says
Henry Cabot Lodge in the Reader
Magazine What was true of Har-
ward was true of other universities
and colleges. American history was
not included: in the scheme of the
higher education. Boys entering, COL
Bege were required to know something
Of the history Of. Greece and Rome.
but not of their own country. Durfne
the four years ct the coliess course
they .bao opportunity to study the his
tory Of Ens] land and Europe, but never
to learn a1ght of the United States.
This condition Of education was mere-
~ an Indication Of an attitude of mind
then passing away, but which had once
been predominant. The usual opinion
seems TO have been during the first
nalf Of the nineteenth century that
there was no American history worth
telling, apart from the adventures of
the revolution, which were both con-
Rected SO closely with the history of
Europe that they m:ght be deemed CT
Importance.

STATUE OF MORTON.
Memorial to Founder of Arbor Day Un-
yelled at Nebraska City,
r. Francis and others associated with
Mr.. Morton in his term of Office.
Sterling Morton, a grandson of the
late secretary, drew aside the curtains
which exposed the statue to view. The
statue stands upon a massive yet grace
full pedestal, in an attitude characteris-
tic of his strong life.
At the foot of the pedestal is grace
full wood sprite, her left hand tenderly
protecting a young, growing tree, sym
bolizing the public-spirited ideal ex-
pressed by Mr.. Morton's simple formula,
plant trees" A semi-circular stone
bench stands at some distance back of
the pedestal and forming frleze around
it are the words, Pioneer, statesman,
scholar, tree-planter"
A statue of Mr. Morton is the princi-
pal figure of the monument. 1t stands
high on a pedestal, simple figure out
lined against background of wood and
sky. The pose is one that was character
istic of Mr.. Morton-the pose he was
wont to assume when talking with a
friend. A semi-circular stone bench
surrounds the monument, suitably in
scribed to the memory of the founder of
Arbor day. The whole is mounted on an
ample platform of masonry elevated
above the level of the park in which it
stands. Friends of Mr.. Morton praise 1t
highly as embodying the spirit and typi-
Tying the nature OF the man to whose
memory it was reared. Thousands of
people from all parts of Nebraska and
from Iowa. Missouri, Kansas and other
states witnessed the unwilling.
