PUBLIC EDUCATION.

Twenty four hundred years ago over thou.
sand ignorant. unframed Persians under Da-
rius marched against ten thousand enlightened
Greeks under Miltiades at the memorable
battle of Marathon. The intelligent Greeks
under discipline, though fewer in number
than one to ten, drove the boards of ignorant
barbarians from the field in helpless defeat.
From the times much more recent, when
the army of Napoleon marched from burning
Moscow back to France defeated, not by the
Russians, but by the awful rigors ofthe dread
ed northern winter. and by the snow fake
arrows from the qniver of God, since that
time Russia had held the world in awe on ac-
count of her extensive territory and her mys
terious power: Russia, though glorying in
the prestige of an unmerited renown, pushed
her aggressions de6antly until her empire ex-
tended all the way from the Baltic TO the
Pacific. Russia was mighty in domain, in
wealth, in unearned reputation and in the
size of her armies; but her people were ig-
norant, untutored, and in many cases were
stepped in superstition and vice.
On the other hand was Japan, limited in
numbers, resources and cramped territorially
within the narrow confines of an island, and
we'll nigh unknown to military fame; but her
people were awake, educated and trained to q
recognized code of morality and decent
citizenship. The conflict was the ignorance
of Russia against the enlightenment of Japan,
and Russia never won battle.
At Port Arthur, at Mukden, and on her
island sea, Japan simply repeated the lesson
of Marathan, of Zama, of the invincible
Armada, of ihe Heights of Abraham and
of Sedan. The lesson is simply this: the
nation which gives the citizens the best edu
cation, the best moral character and the best
training for decent living will sooner or later
become dominant nation, and be ready to
take her part in establishing the Peace of the
globe.
Whether in peaceful pursuits or in martial
conflicts, universal education is the best and
the cheapest defense of nation, and you best
safeguard the welfare of any community by
providing that the people shall be schooled in
the principles of intelligence, mortality, hon
est labor and in decent citizenship. That
State or County is most prosperous in which
most nearly all the people become intelligent
producers as well as consumers.
In the language of Emerson: "a man
fails to make his place good in the world,
unless he not only pays his debts, but also
adds something to the common wealth. Eff
ficient universal education is the suresi guar
antee of progress in the arts of peace, and is
also the mother of national prosperity.
