immensely glad that our friend FROM
Illinois has told us what he has about
these schools.
If we look back at education, we
see how free education started in the

are taking root. We see that edu-

the few, but i. is for everybody. The
schools, for a long time, were pro
NOTED only by religious organiza-
tons; they did their pioneer work
well and when we began to have pub.
lie schools, we followed their plans.
We educated our children in the
three RS" and then we went on
and educated them in the higher
studies, so called. After a long whlla.

What Congress Has Done.
Congress established the right
principle, when, in 1862, it appro-
priated million dollars year 10
the agricultural colleges, and the
states did the right thing when they
more than doubled that amount by
putting state money with it to build
buildings and help hire teachers.
Then in 1887, congress put three.
quarters of a million into the stale
experiment stations In 1900, 1t put
in million and quarter by giving
to each state s25,000.CO cash out II
the National Treasury to help further
build up the agriculture colleges,
and just yesterday it did another
spendid thing, and United States
Congressman Adams has his name on
the bill that gives another three
quarters of million for additional
equipment to the experiment stations
of this country, and there is another
movement, not only to duplicate the
sl5000.00 that congress gave in
1887 BY making it s30000.00, but to
duplicate the s25,O00.O by giving
each college S5O,O0O0O, and have
40 doubt but that will go through
Congress is the great source Of
money for these expenditures as be-
tween the government and the state,
because the government has an In
direct way Of raising taxes and can
raise taxes more easily than the
state. The national government

New York.
