"It is hoped that this little book
may contribute to the forces wn.ch
are cooperating to produce the
coming race of America.
A very cursory examination Of
this book for elementary school
teachers will reveal its value.
The good conduct prizes offered
are Boy Scout knife, and fur
nished sewing basket for the 'best
girl. For the teacher there is
large framed picture of Plock-
h0rst's Angel Guardian (Frede-
rick Pustet & Co., \. " The sub
ject and atmosphere of this picture
make it especially attractive for the
purpose. The majestic figure of
angelic proportions, with unfolded
but not outspread wings, at once
conveys a sense of space and free
dom. The hands are graciously
and protectingly extended above a
boy and a girl carelessly gathering
flowers on the edge of precipice.
The mean narrow walls of the
school room will expand by this
presence. The first question will be
from children-''What does it
mean" In the answer will lie the
most essential ideal of all true edu-
c, tion,-namely, a protecting, en-
nobling sense of religious response
bility in life and learning.
The presentation speech has
been handed over to an aged Civil
War veteran and ex-school master,
who probably made his last trip to
Gettysburg in August. All the old
glory Of service and distinction will
be his on this occasion, an object
lesson too, for the children in the
matter Of respect for old age.
President Garfield said in his in
augural address, in March, 1881 ::
1--WE have no standard by which to
measure the disaster that may be
brought upon US by ignorance and
vice IN the citizen, Wnen joined 10
corruption and fault in the suf-
frage. The veterans Of the Union
who make and unmake constitu-
tions, and upon whose will hang
the doctrines of a government can
transmit their supreme authority
to no successors save the coming
generation Of veterans, who are the
sole heirs of sovereign power. Ii
that generation comes to its inherl-
tance blinded by ignorance and
corrupted by vice, the fall of the
republic is certain and remedy
less. -

Rural High Schools

The New York legislature has
passed law providing for rural
high schools. Mr.. Brown, the Re
publican leader Of the state senate,
is responsible for it. He believed
in rural high schools and he Kept
plugging away and it took him two
years to get it through. The law
provides for high schools in such Q
way as to be available for boys and
girls on the farms. Hereafter they
will not be forced to go away from
their homes at special expense to
obtain high school education.
There has been some talk OF rur-
al high schools in Delaware. In
time we shall have them. DR.. Wag-
ner's campaign may lead to plan
for affording the children of farm
ers far greater educational faclll-
ties than they now enjoy. Ii the
farmers demanded them they
would get them.
One of the most important topics
to be considered by our next legls
lature should be a complete over
hauling of our rural school system.
DR.. Wagner's work among the
oranges must have aroused great
er interest in rural education.
Rural high schools are important
in more than one respect. Ii we
had schools of better grade, that
might mean a re-adjustment of the
entrance requirements of Delaware
College. The college authorities
have had in mind the schools in
lower and middle Delaware and
the courses have been arranged ac-
cordingly. This has interferred,
we have been informed, with the
attendance of Wilmington boys at
Delaware College, but if the schools
of the rural districts were improved
an obstacle would be overcome.
