DARK DEED Of YESTERDAY.

deeds of yesterday. This is a
serious mistake-And comes
from the principals If Popsrism.
True christianity rests her head

Christ. The same historians
say that it is a fact that 1t be.

sword to 70 before the Bible.
This too comes from the princi-

OF Catholicism. We must an
swsr that Christianity does not
rest her head in the lap of the
dark deeds of yesterday. But
she does rest her head in the
bosom of the bleeding Christ.
Peace like the calmest day comes
from the bosom of him to the
christians hesrt-War comes
from the arch flend Of night.
This character caused the first
war. and that was in heaven
when he left his first estate and
fell. The next thing he did was

brother Abel. Again he shows
his red hand In Lamach. and SO
on down thru the bloody wars Of
Israel, until We reach this day
aao age OF the world. And no
where do we see Christianity
resting her head IN the lap Of tho
da'd desis of yesterday, but in
the loving bosom Of the Christ.

1T gives me great pleasure to hear that
Mr.. George, he founder OF the National
Junior Republic, is going 20 England this
year to advise upon or assist in the for
nation OF a similar institution in that
country Although have never had the
advantage of myself visiting the original
republic in New York State, or any OF
the republics that have been formed upon
this model elsewhere. have heard enough
froIl many friends of the nature Of the
system employ ed in these institutions. and
the admirable results that have been at
:ained. to be convinced OF Its utility. and
tc wish that tho scheme and methods
should become known in Europe.
"All the principles, dimly apprehended a
century ago by the educational reformers
o. those days, Of whom Miss Edgewurth
and her father are perhaps best remem-
bered, appear TO be altogether sound, and
where men can be found with the special
gifts that are needed for carrying them
out the results ought to be similar to
those attained IN the United States"

TELLS or SYSTEM
Past Year Has Been Most Fruitful
the Juvenile State Has
Experienced.
b, GUY c. MITCHELL.

one Of the most effective and fruitful
years which the National Junior Re-
public has known Cor. a long time ended
with the close Of the last month. Within
this period the number of citizens was
doubled and the capacity OF the Republic
is now taxed to its utmost. Many cit-
zena who had learned the Republic les
sons and who were properly fitted 10
take their place In the larger world out
side were permitted TO go. but new ap-
plicants came IN such numbers that not
only was this loss made up. but the citi-
zenship was brought up to seventy-one.
where q year ago IL was thlrty-six. The
largest part Of the citizens come from
Baltimore. the State Of Maryland and
the District Of Columbia, although
Massachusetts,, Wisconsin, New York,
Arkansas, Kentucky, Delaware. Florida,
Georgia. and the Canal Zone of PAN
anna are represented.
With the increase In numbers has been
the Increase in equipment. although this
latter has NOT kept the pace OF the for
mer. The Juliet c. Baldwin memorial
cottage was opened and occupied a year
ago, this accommodating twelve boys,
who make II their home. Through the
kindness OF Mrs. Robert Garrett, Of Bal
timore, a beautiful concrete chapel was
erected. and presented TO the Republic.
Through the kindness of other friends
much-needed additions were built on 10
the schooihcuse. and thoroughly
equipped manual training room opened
under expert supervision.
The Esprit du Corps.
Also. in keeping with this advance
ment has been the increase in the spirit
and tone OF the citizens. An esprit du
corps has arisen which is more marked
than before. The boy is proud TO say
that he is a Republic boy. and he stands
by the principles and the traditions Of
his miniature state In a manner that
makes any one feel that he Is a little
sovereign, who, while obedient to the
laws which he and his companions have
made, is also an enforcer of those laws
and dispenser of Justice. Republic
boy impresses one as a boy OF attain
ment and one who is used to doing
things.
The citizen government was never
stronger than at present. The citizen
president of the Republic is Walter r.

more: chief Of police. Lee Percy. Of Balti-
more Upon these boys rest the respon-
sibility OF maintaining law and order
within the Republic and enforcing the
laws which have been made by their
companions.
The social life has been particularly
enjoyable during the past season
Weekly sociais, travel talks and dancing.
Christmas entertainments. Sunday
school entertainments. Inauguration
days, the regular legal holidays. prac-
deal talks. &C.. have furnished great
variety Of pleasure.
Success I'm Athletics.
The Republic also enjoyed a very sue
cessful season In athletics. Last sum-
rner . schedule Of thirty-four games Of
baseball was played. and Of this number
the Republic lost but seven games. Dur
ing the winter the citizens have taken
part IN the athletic contests with other
gymnasiums Of the Public Athletic
League. OF Baltimore. Of which the Re
public issa member, winning q silver cup
nom these other schools for the standing
broad jump. and competing in basket
oaH contests, &C a very SUCCESSFUL pas-
ket-ball league among the boys Of the
Republic themselves was carried on.
The Sunday school has. as In the past.
been conducted by three friends from
Baltimore. who make the trip every Sum
day morning, and the chapel services
on Sunday nights have been addressed by
various clergymen and others from Balti-
more and Washington.
The coming year Is looked forward TO
with a great deal OF anticipation and ex-
pectation. The number Of citizens is
ample to man thoroughly the lines OF
work. The spirit OF industry and hustle
is abroad In the afr. respect for law
and order Is strong. representatives Of
the law are doing their duty. The school
work has been fruitful. and with the
many strong friends of Baltimore and
Washington back OF II, working day and
night for its advancement and for an
increase In its efficiency. there f. no
reason why the National Junior Republic
should not take place even more ad-
yanced than the one Il now occupies as
a practical. sane. effective agency for the
helping Of boys and girls.
