morally, our country has no peer. The
American returning to his own shores
feels like thanking SCOTT for expressing SO
felioitously the travellers sentiments:
Breathes there the man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said
This is my own. my native and
whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd
As home his footsteps he hath turn'd
From wandering on a foreign strand
II such there breathe. 20. mark him well:
For him no minstrel raptures swell:
High though his titles. proud his name,
Boundless his wealth az wish can claim
Despite those titles. power and pelf.

And. doubly dying. shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung.

PUBLIC EDUCATION.

With regard to profit and loss in material
value, most persons are ready to emphasize
the fact that it takes sixteen ounces avoirdu-
pois to make a pound, thirty.six inches to
make a yard and one hundred cents to make
dollar. Internationally, how many parents
are equally ready to admit that it takes nine
months to make school year? If you safer
loss financially when you receive less than the
proper amount in weight or measure. is it not
equally true that Intellectually You suffer loss
when you take five or six months in school
instead of taking the whole year?
A great handicap to public education is the
fact that so many pupils attend school only a
few months of the year. The evil is greatly
aggravated by the fact that so many of the
parents insist on having their children pro-
NOTED each year, although the pupils have
attended school only short time. When the
school year is nine months, would you think
it wise to promote those who have done only
five-ninths of the work? The curriculum
provided full work for nine months, and to
complete the course requires attendance all
the time
If there are circumstances under which the
pupils cannot possibly be present more than
five or six months, such pupils should remain
parents should be re1nciled to that fact.
The fact that pupils who have been present
only for few months are not ready for pro-
motion does not reflect in any way on the
teacher, nor does it reflect on the ability of
the student. In school life it is just as impos.
sible to do nine months work in five months,
as it is in any other line of business. have
examined pupils coming from the different
counties of Maryland out of the higher grades,
and the result would show that many of the
applicants had been sadly deceived by rapid
promotion. Parents should cooperate with
the teacher to keep the children regularly in
school as much of the time as may be possible,
and in any event, prevent the reaching of
higher grades until the pupils are thoroughly
prepared for promotion.
