MOUkNED BY WHOLE COUNTRY
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, Philan,
thropist, Author and Divine
Passes Away. Ei

Boston, June 12.-The morning light
was breaking as the venerable Rev.
Edward Everett Hale, D. D., chaplain
of the United States senate, Unitarian
divine, philanthropist, author, jour
nalist and lover of peace, breathed his
last yesterday in his home in Rox-
bury. At the bedside were his wife,
his daughter, Miss Ellen D. Hale, and
his son, Philip l.. Hale, the artist Two
other sons, Arthur Hale of Washing
ton and Prof. Edward Everett Hale,
Jr., of Union college, returned home
last evening.
On his return from Washington
few weeks ago it was reported that
DR.. Hale was not in good health, but
he soon regained his activity and I'M
til Tuesday attended meetings and re-
ceived friends. Wednesday night,
however, he showed signs of distress,
and, rapidly weakening, passed peace
fully away in the early hours of the
morning
Whole Country Mourns.
1t seemed yesterday as if the whole
country joined in mourning the loss
of DR.. Hale. Messages expressing sor-
row and esteem poured into the Hale
household, one of the first being from
President and Mrs. Taft.
AS an author DR.. Hale's fame rests
on his short stories, such as The Man
Without a Country" as an instigator
of the general uplift, the work of the
two great organizations, the Lend-a-
Hand club and the Kings Daughters,
will always add to his renown; as a
minister and pastor, his half century
in the pulpit of the South Congrega-
tional church and his preaching in
many other churches were prolific of
wise spiritual inspiration; while as a
historian his writings have become
authorities.
Great Life Work.
1t was DR.. Hale who, twenty years
before it's consummatiOn, predicted a
worldwide peace tribunal; it was DR..
Hale who upheld Garrison and Phil
lips in their anti-slavery work; it was
DR.. Hale whose benevolent counsel
brought comfort to the sick and
wounded soldiers on the battlefields of
the Civil war, as a member of the san
starry commission, and it was DR.. Hale
who gave to the world the famous
stanza:
Look up and not down;
Look forward and not back;
Look out and not in;
Lend a hand"

There are some promotions in life
which, Independent of the more sub
stantial rewards they offer, acquire
peculiar value and dignity from the
coats and waistcoats connected with
them. A field marshal has his uni
form; a bishop his silk apron; a
counselor his silk gown; a beadle his
cooked hat. Strip the bishop of his
opron, or the beadle of his hat and
lace; wha tare they? Men, mere

sometimes, are more questions oil

High Schools in the South.

A campaign for high schools is being held in Tennessee by Prof. P. P. Claxton of the State Uni versity, this educational mis- sionary work being supported by the General Education Board. At it's last session the Tennes- see legislature provided for giv- ing money in aid of high schools to counties whose County Courts shall establish such instit tutions.
 Tennessee was thus only fall ing in line with most of the other Southern States. Virginia ap- propriates S1O0,000 annually for aiding high schools, North Caro- lima S5O,O00 and South Carolina S6O.OOO. Florida and Mississippi each give S1,000 to each county and Alabama S2,000 to each county.
 The result of this financial aid, in connection with the work of educational agents who awaken public interest, has been the es- tabEshing of many high schools, POO or 300 in a single State. Prof. B. ". Torreyson will soon take up in Arkansas this high school work
