Shortly after II o'clock President
stephen r. L. Penrose, of Whitman

upon the subject of Some Defects il

paper that was read stands out as one
Of the strong things in the convention.
4 dialogue between an American public
school teacher, recently departed, and
the shade of Professor r. II. Huxley
Their theme was that of moral train
inS in pubic schools. Much of the
discussion was made up of extracts
from "a Liberal Education" by Prof
Huxley, in which the following is the
forewaTi:

FRANCE AND FRANKLIN.
Spontaneous Honors Paid to an Alien

Spontaneous Honors Paid to an Alien
Citizen by the People Of France.
To the sight of the world Franklin
came as the agent Of certain revolted
colonies of England to seek material
aid to sustain the hard-pushed rebel
lion. But to the enlightened eye OF
history he is an envoy from tle New
World to the Old. addressing to its
half-awal1ened heart and conscience
the soul-stirring invitation to be free.
No filter choice was ever made by
any nation In any age. There was
too heavy a sea running to have any
incompetence on the quarterback.
An interest which we can scarcely
comprehend was taken in that day
in natural science. Franklin was, by
universal consent, the greatest nat
ural philosopher of his time. He was
hailed as the confidant of nature-the
playmate Of lightning, a Prometheus
unpublished. The brightest construc-
tive and critical energies Of the best
minds were devoted to the solution OF
political problems. And here. they
said, was a man who had founded
many States upon the principles OF
abstract justice, and had consolidated
them at last into a superb model re.
public. For this hasty generalization
had seized the foreign mind, always
too apt to regard leaders instead OF
masses, and 1t was long before the
millions of Americans got their due
abroad.
Thus it came that the great heart
of liberal France went out at once In
quick rush Of welcome to Franklin
He was the point that attracted the
over-charged electricity Of that vast
and stormy mass of active thought
He became the talk of the town.
They made songs about him.
They published more than one hun,
bred and fifty engravings of him, so
that his fur cap and spectacles be
came as familiar as the face of tn:

not trivial details. Those spontan,
eous honors. paid to an alien citizen
by people so long the victims of de-
grading tutelage, showed the progress
they had made toward liberty. In
honoring him they honored them-
selves. They vaguely felt he was
fighting their battle. They read in
his serene and noble countenance the
promise of better times.-From John
Hays FRANKLIN in France" in the

der memories of the mother may have
been mingled with Washington's fond
ness for the young soldier.
When Braddock's defeat brought
the soldier again to Mount Vernon, to
rest from the fatigues of the CAM
paign, there is abundant evidence to
prove that he had become a person
age in the eyes of women.
Yet in spite of the attractions in

Long and late we had laughed at fate,
and had hungered oft, and now

We had kissed our mothers and kissed
our wives and kissed our

At the house of his friend Beverly
Robinson, he met Miss Mary Philipse,
and speedily surrendered. She was a
beautiful, cultured woman. twenty-five
years old, who had travelled widely
and had seen much Of the world. He
promptly proposed to her, and was re-
fused, but with exquisite grace and
tact.
But graver affairs soon claimed his
attention, and he did not go back,
though a friend wrote to him that
