Address delivered by John W. Aber- crombie. President of the University of Alabama. at the Chicago meeting of the Department of Superintendence of the National Educational Assoeia- tion. February A. 1909.
 At the Chicago gathering of school superintendents Dr. John w. Aber- crombie delivered an address on the American disregard for law. under the title of "The American Peril" He said:
 Is there an American peril? Of what does 1t consist? There is danger pe- culiar to our country, and 1t consists of the spirit of lawlessness. Disre- gard for law. man-made and God-giV- en, Is widespread.
 Law and LIberty-Tyranny and License.
 All government Is based upon law and liberty, and through proper blending of these two elements Is the best development attainable. Each Is an essential element, and each has it's counterpart. for law may be perverted into tyranny and liberty may oeseh- crate into license.
 Observance of law promotes orderli- ness, but excess of liberty leads to H. cense. Law and liberty are the hand maids of civilization, while tyranny and license are relics of barbarism.
 Human nature, lower human nature, rebels against law and abuses liberty; but. thanks to an All-wise Creator, there has been implanted in man, side by side, with his lower nature, bet ter self, which, if properly cultivated. develops into a controlling force. In life. And one of the most marvellous characteristics of the human mind con sists of its ability voluntarily to set up for this better self high stand ard, and strive to attain 1t. When the better self rules. law and liberty are exalted; when the lower nature pre- vails, tyranny or license Is enthroneo-
 America was settled by those who sought escape from injustice on other shores, and it is surprising that. from the beginning. thereshas existed ten- dency to stress individual liberty. and to minimize the importance of law and its orderly execution. That tendency has found its way into all the affairs of life, and as a result the country Is drunk from very excess of liberty.
 Only now and then. only here and there. has law been emphasized to the point of tyrany.
 Prevalence of Lawlessness.
 The evils of unrestratned license are visible everywhere, in business and society and in church and state; but the most alarming phase in which the spirit of lawlessness manifests Itself of homicide. The frequency, the reck lessness. and the impunity with which human life Is taken should bring shame and fear to every patriotic citi- zen.
 In no other civilized country Is life so cheap. In pagan Japan, even 1t is valued ten times more highly. For each million of population we hAve annually about eight times as many homicides as Belgium, about nine times

ness is not possible except through the process of education. Only through the cultivation of mind and heart can A people be advanced in civillzation. and prepared for the highest form of self-government.
 This training should begin in the home, for 1t Is there obedience, and fidelity can be best inculcated. The homes of the land should be the birth places of that incorruptible character, that stalwart patriotism. and that un- failing courage, so necessary in gov ernmants where the people rule.
 But the home Is falling in this imt portant duty. The father Is engaged too strenously in the race for wealth and power to perform the duties of fatherhood; the mother is too busy in the equally strenuous social life to meet the responsibilities of mother hood.
 It is obvious that under existing conditions. we cannot look to the home for the training which will prepare adequately for citizenship. The un- disciplined child grows into the law less citizen. The lawless citizen in the liar. the swindler. the thief. the graf ter. the robber. the ravisher. the lyn' cher, the murderer.
 Can this training be given by the church? Is the church giving it7 W efficacy of the work of the church. I see little hope for speedy and adeouate relief from that source. since only a small minority of the people are reach ed. and they only one hour per week The Sunday School is great insti- tution, is performing noble service and Is one of the most elevating of agencies, but who will assert that 1t Is providing the necessary training for all the people?
 What about the press? Newspapers wield a mighty influence. and that in- fiuence Is usually in the right direc- tion. The press Is great educator. and is powerful In its advocacy of the supreme importance of law and order. But 1t does not reach adequately the citizen at the most impressionable age. Public School only Hope.
 So, for an effective check upon law lessness, we must look to something besides the agencies mentioned. What is that something? 1t is the school. To the school. especially the public school. must we look. Upon the teacher in the school must we rely. It Is the teachers work to apply cor rect thinking and patriotic acting to the solution of perplexing problems. to erect high ideals and build up to their full stature to nourtsh and di- rectsand preserve the republic. Know ledge Is power and an education con- science is its only safe guide.
 The children of the land rich and poor, farm and factory. white and colored. native and foreign-born all must be taught 10 obey the Golden Rule. The meaning of the command. "Thou shalt not" must be so impress

their parents, how came they In the middle ofythe street. or who were any of their relatives they have neither ever learned a word. Nor did MISS Mason know anything more than that they were found in the streets or Columbia the morning after the fire and that they were sent to her.
 I will not recount even the impor- tant events of Miss Mason's life. as that is not the object of this brief article. When all these children were grown enough to take care of them selves or were provided with homes throughout the South, she began chaperoning young women travellers and students in Europe. Upwards or fifty times. she crossed the Atlantic. she taught fourteen, years in Paris. Then she came back to Fairfax county. Virginia to live. Some years ago. she gave up her country home and bought this quaint little home out in George town.
 As she was remarkable young woman, remarkable middle aged woman. she was a still more remark able old woman. Up tillla few months ago she kept her own house, did her own marketing, managed her own ser wants. lived in that house alone. although friends and neighbors. and ScNtHdi TclhtiNcS Cahc to SVt hei CNCiN day. She spent much of her time in her little garden, and as all in her community knew her. they looked for her gracious smile as they passed. Until year or two ago she was the central figure. the very belle. in fact, of the famous Southern ball." given by the Southern Relief Society annual ly In Washington. She did not play young: she did not play old; she was just natural. But at all ages and stages of her life she was such a woman as both men and women pick out to pay court to In any kind of as- semblage of people.
 She loved the South, the old South, and no Southerner connected by either blood or sentiment with the people in any class of Southern society needed any introduction to her. But 1t would not be true to say she had no other ties. Her brother was the first gover- nor of Michigan, the "boy governor" who was elected governor of Michigan when he was but twenty years old. Several years ago when her brothers remains were taken from New York to Detroit she went to Detroit in a special car as the guest of the state of Michigan. Those pictures on her walls and mantel are of men distinguished In the history of several states; but none are more distinguished than she. She was indeed a woman in ten million.

 Miss Mason knew every President of
 the United States personally from
 Monroe to now. A hospital matron during the war; the best known of them all, she was personally acauaint- ed with the leading generals on both sides. She was in New Jersey when the war broke out and was suspected
 at one time of being a Confederate spy, so that there was a reward for her capture. She escaped to Louis- vile, where she was able to com 1municate with General Rosecrans, whom she knew. who furnished her with an escort across the Confederate | lines. Then she became the hospital | matron for the Confederate army. How I used to love to hear her tell about her experiences in the war.

The remarkable victory of Major General Stewart at New Hope Church on May 25, 1884, and the equally re- markable victory of Major General Cle- burne at Pickett's Mill two days later, justify the question by the student of the campaign; why did not General johnston force Sherman, then and there. to a general engagement? The general commanding issued the neces- sary orders for general engagement, on the day after Cleburne's fight at Pickett's Mill. Lieutenant General Hood. on the extreme right, was in- structed to bring on the action. Hood after receiving his orders. informed General Johnston that sherman had changed the disposition of the troops on his front and so fortified them that 1t would be, in his judgment too haz- ardous to attack on the original order of battle. (See Johnston's Narrative and Hoods Advance and Retreat) In truth Johnston had shown very plainly that he did not intend to bring on a general engagement with a foe twice his strength unless he could strike at some moment at which the advantages of position or other circumstance should promise recompense for his dis parity of numbers, He said he had commanded In the United States army
 
 them fight, and he knew if well led, they fought we'll Hood says he heard Johnston say the night after Stewards great victory, that he thought the final battle of the campaign might be ex- pected at Macon, 150 miles east of the army.
 Why did sherman now turn away from the road to Atlanta and reverse his course back toward the railroad? Or1 nf and half would have brought him in sight of the towers of Atlanta provided he could keep Johnston from his way.
 Johnston was now master of the sit- uation and every man under him felt the thrill of that mastery. The pri- yates were writing home that the army was jubilant. Polk wrote to his family day or two before he fell that the army was well fed, well commanded and confident sherman shared the opinion of Johnston's army. When he turned away from the direct road to Atlanta he lost the confidence of his own men. IHe knew 1t and, we shall see he admitted 1t. He knew that with his two men to one he could flank the Confederate commander from every position he might take between Mari- etta and Atlanta and upon this ma tured policy he resolved to persevere.

 Johnston had become master of Sher- man. Could General Lee hold Grant at Petersburg?
 The measure of cooperation between the only two remaining great armies of the Confederacy. in the field, was this: Lee could prevent Grant from reinforcing sherman and Johnston could prevent sherman from cutting Lees communications with the base of his supplies in Alabama and Georgia. It was negative cooperation. Had the two great commanders respective ly been permitted to apply to their re- lations to each other the principles of scientific war. there would have been between them a perfect cooperation

CATARRH of the respiratory or gans is common ailment in Canada for at least two-thirds of the year. This condition is no doubt caused by the long, severe winters experienced in this part of the continent
 Therefore, when Peruna was discov- cred by Canadian people to be a re- liable remedy for these catarrhal dis eases, it at once became a popular medicine. mot only among individuals and in families, but in the great hos pitals. where 1t was used as a prevent i've and relief In hundreds of cases. These institutions do not hesitate to give their endorsement of the remedy which has been so helpful in the treat ment of their poor and sick.
 Among these institutions is that or the Sisters of Good Shepherd. who give the following endorsement: The Perunn Company.
