American university. Such was the
beginning OF Harvard.
In 1900, 10 ministers from Connec-
ticut came together and agreed to con-
tribute one book each, as the founda-
Iion for college. This was accord
ingly done and as these 10 ministers
from the wild forests of Connecticut
laid down their gift of one volume,
each repeated the words: 81 give this
book for founding = college in Connec-
ticut,"
That was the beginning OF Yale
college. 1t was named for Governor
Yale. who contributed half 4 dozen
books TO the infant institution 1t
is now one of the greatest schools in
the world.
In the Dutch period of New York,
scattering free schools were maintain
ed and the old masters added to their
meager salaries as teachers by ring
ing church bells, digging graves. car
rying mail once a week into the re-
mote settlements. That was the he
ginning of the American free schoo!
system.
In 1895 George Clinton laid the
foundation for New York's splendid
free school system after heartbreak-
ing defeat and encouragement. With
in three years after he started the
first school 10000 children were re-
ceiving free education in New York,
and from that day TO this the public
school system has been one of the
leading institutions of the United
States.
In the southern states, the spirit
of the private school was not strong
and Gov. Berkeley. of Virginia, de-
clared that he "thanked God there
was no free schools nor printing
presses in Virginia" But in the face
of this opposition, the free school
system crept into the south.
As the settlers traversed farther
and farther into the western wilder
ness they carried with them the cher
ished ideal of free education and the
first public institutions founded in the
great central and western states were
public schools.
From the Dutch schools of New
York when the master was the grave
digger and the bell ringer. to the
splendid schools of Pendleton and ali
of the Pacific coast, is a long step
and is marked with self-sa'crifice or
the part of public men which cannot
he measured in words. No wonder
the public school is cherished.

PENDLETON TO PILOT ROCK.

With the name of ]. p. O'Brien at
the head of the Umatilla Central rail-
road company. which has been organ
lied for the purpose of building from
Pendleton to Pilot Rock. the people OF
this city have substantial hopes OF
seeing a railroad actually constructed
on this route.
Mr.. O'Brien does not engage ex-
tensively in paper railroad building.
Most of his work is bona fide and he
runs few bluffs. Knowing this, there
is every hope in Pendleton that some
thing will be doing on Birch creek
before long.
This road will pay from the very
first train that is run over it. There
are miles and miles of rich country
not now producing its full capacity,
which will be farmed to the utmost
limit when better transportation is
afforded. There are miles and miles
of excellent timber which will be
brought to Pendleton to a sawmill,
as soon as transportation is afforded
and hundreds of new settlers will be
enabled to live in the southern part
of this county and northern Grant
when a railroad places them in touch
with the outside world.
Pendleton is anxious to celebrate

THE FOOTPATH TO PEACE.

Henry Van Dyke. professor of Eng
lish literature at Princeton university,
has written many things worthy of
preservation. He reveals the secret
OF happiness in the following beauti-
full paragraph:
To be glad Of life, because 1t gives
you the chance to love and to work
and to play and to look up at the
stars; to be satisfied with your pos
sessions, but not contented with your
self until you have made the best OF
them; to despise nothing in the world
except falsehood and meanness and
to fear nothing except cowardice; 10
be governed by your admirations
rather than by your disgusts; to covet
nothing that is your neighbor's ex'
cept his Kindness OF heart and gentle
ness OF manners; to think seldom OF
your enemies often of your friends
these are little guide-posts on the foot
path to peace

FIRST AMERICAN SCHOOLS.

The children of Pendleton who en-
Joy the excellent free public schools
of today little appreciate the struggle
of the American school system and the
great American colleges and universi-
ties. in the beginning.
The development of the public
school system has been one of the
marvels Of the new world. Even the
inventions and material progress
which have amazed and startled the
world do not compare to the mental
development and general diffusion Of
knowledge to the masses which the
free schools have accomplished.
The school spirit seemed to have
been nurtured in the minds Of the
earliest American settlers. Before
Boston was two years old the sum OF
$4,000 was appropriated annually for
the support Of Car bridge seminary
now known as Harvard university
