Montevideo Leader: The com.
mon schools of our country are It's
foundation stone; boys and girls to-
day are attending the schools of our
land who never will. or can, enter
any higher course. According to
the census of 1890, there were over
fourteen million boys and girls at
tending the public schools Of our
land and not two per cent of that
number have ever graduated from
our seminaries or colleges in any
one year. Then how necessary 1t is
that the common school system of
our country should be made better.
How necessary it Is that every per-
son connected with the maintenance
or support of our public schools
should be man or woman thorough
ly equipped for the service, and
should give to it their best thought.
The world today is seeking men and
women who are honest and upright.
1t will not make them upright to be
intellectual. The training they re-
ceive must come from persons who
themselves know what honesty and
uprightness means, and who will,
by precept as we'll as example. in
still this idea thoroughly into the
minds and hearts of their people.
