pleasure. History and reason com bined to lay primary stress on the peoples occupations as the point at which moral training should begin.
 Another tendency that calls aloud for moral trainingin the public schools, because they are the only institution capable of dealing with it adequately, is the American tendency toward pre- cocity. Freedom comes early to the child in America and along with this freedom comes growing lack of time for moral retirement for the develop ment of moral fibre. One evidence of this is the way in which youth in school and in college try to handle adult problems with the morals of childhood. The problem is to make responsibility the yoke-mae of free dom.
 Possibly the most tendencies are beyond our power to see. There may be among them forces at work for mor- al good. We know that freedom, in the long run, is among those forces. There is comfort in the fact that evil is more easily seen than good, for the strongest forces for good all work un- derground. As has been pointed out. Greek and Roman philosophers knew that their civilizations were rushing to ruin. and peering anxiously into the future, like a lost child in the deepening twilight. for some sign of direction: but they failed to see the significance of the new power that was to emerge from the ruins of the old world. They found out their contempt upon Christianity and passed it by. Nations, like men, move in directions unforeseen.
 Democracy has brought many dis appointments, but undreamed of im- provements have also come. An un- forseen feature of our complex system of government-which was elaborated in the interest of freedom and for the safety of the individual--is it's devel- opment into maze in which the art full dodger can evade the purpose ol the law. This country, far less than any other, can depend upon it's law to keep it morally sound. Moral resist ance of the aggregate against the aggressions of financial and other prac- tically lawless forms of power is the line along which our spiritual develop ment will run. Roosevelt's appeal in his message of 1905. was a comics sion that the public conscience must enforce the rules of righteousness The burdens of the schools is to create spirit of moral teamwork, a socia efficiency, a taste for cooperation The possibilities of play ground govern ment as a moral power has beer scarcely dreamed of yet. Experienc, has shown that large burdens whicl the arm of school authority has borne can be judiciously laid upon the pupil'l shoulders.

Resolutions of Respect

At the regular meeting of the
Ladies' Aid Society of Roman
held November @, the following
resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
"Since our last meeting one Of
the charter members of this So
ciety, our beloved friend Mrs.
Ethel Long Denison, has ceased
her labors and quietly passed to
the Great Beyond. On Sunday
morning November IL, the silent
messenger Of death called her
away from our midst.
Mrs. Denison was the most
energetic and enterprising work.
er in our society, and no one can
fill the place that she has left
vacant. It is difficult for us to
realize that a person so full of
life and stirring energy should so
soon be reduced to the silence
and stiffness of dust, We almost
listen to hear her footsteps or the
cheering sound of her familiar
voice; but we listen in vain.
'She has left us; and yet she is
with us. She lives in loving
words and kindly deeds. Her
work of love and charity was not
confined to her services in the
Ladies' Aid of Roman; she be-
longed to the Ladies' aid of hu-
manity. Love and service was
her religion.
I'm her demise our society has
lost faithful worker, the COM
munity sympathetic helper, her
husband a devoted wife and her
children a loving mother.
LET our consolation be that she
has passed from the land of the
dying to the land of the living.
"Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the
bar
When l put out to sea;
But such tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the
boundless deep
Turns again home.
'"Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the darki
And may there be no sadness of fare
we'll
When embark;
For, though from out our bourne
OF time and place
The flood may bear me far,
hope to see my Pilot face to face
When have crossed the bar"

Sunday School Union, will give
a short address on Sunday school
work.
The prospects are good for the

been pending for some time for
the purchase of some of the bust
ness lots which have been con-
sumated during the past week

again. Sunday the rain fell all

Diana of PHILADELPHIA.

At the mint In Philadelphia are q
number Of coins far more precious
than any which find their way into
circulation. They are a collection OF
carlos. and many of them date from
times of great antiquity. Perhaps the
most interesting among them is a
handsome coin bearing on its face the
profile of woman which has a strik.
ing resemblance to the goddess OF
Liberty of our own currency. Under
meath is the single word Demos
which is the Greek for people. On
the reverse Of the coin is a beautiful
figure of the goddess Diana archine
her bow. and the inscription trans
lated into English reads, "Diana
Friend of the Philadelphians."
The coin was minted more than
1000 years ago at the city of Philadel-
phia, in Asia Minor. where there grew
up in later years one of the seven
churches Of which st. John writes.
The prize was discovered some years
ago in Europe by a citizen Of our own
Philadelphia. himself an authority on
coins. BY him it was appropriately
presented to the mint in Philadelphia.

A Cartoqraphic Curiosity,

Catherine de- Medici once entertained
the ambition of acquiring both North
and South America as appendages to
her crown, and with that object in
view she dispatched a couple of her
representatives to the scene of opera
lions. The northern section of the en-
terprise was committed to the charge
of the queens favorite, Troilus de
Mesgonez. who was adorned with the
title of viceroy Of France and sailed
from Havre with large feet, only to
be wrecked in the Atlantic. Another
favorite. StrozZi. was commissioned to
capture South America, but he was
no more fortunate than Mesgonez, for
he was killed at the Azores. These
happenings. however. took a long time
to reach the ears of Queen Catherine.
and In the meantime she nursed her
dreams and prepared map on which
1.-THE new world of the north" and 1.-The
new world of the south figured as
colonies of France. This photographic
curiosity is among the map treasures
of the National library in Paris.
