WAS NOTED EDUCATOR.

Daniel Kirkwood, a theoretic sci
enlist of large attainments, especially
IN mathematics and astronomy, was
born in Bladensburg, Nd, 100 years
ago. After graduating from the
York academy, in Pennsylvania, he
was for some years an Instructor in
mathematics at that institution. He
went to Delaware college in 1851 and
for several years was president of
the college. In 1856 he accepted an
offer of the professorship of mathe-
matics at Indian university. He
continued to fill this position for
thirty years, with the exception of
the two years following the close of
the Civil war, when he was profess
sor of mathematics and astronomy
at Washington and Jefferson college.
Doctor Kirkwood retired from Indi-
ana university in 1886 and resided
at Riverside, Cal, until his death in
1895.

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great COM
mercial age and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems of this nation crown
the industrial achievements of the
whole world. These twin messengers
of modern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are of American nativity and
while warm from the mind OF the in
ventive genius have, under American
supervision, spun a network OF wires
across the earth and under the seas
Telegraphy, in its early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history Of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted a more powerful
influence upon the civilization of it's
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy OF two distinct types of
American genius-invention and organ
ization.
The industry was peculiarly FORUM
ate in having powerful inventive intel
Iect at its source and tremendous
minds to direct its organization and
growth. 1t is the most perfect fruit
of the tree of American industry and
when compared with its European con-
temporaries, it thrills every patriotic
American with pride.

KNOW THY COUNTRY

'Know America" is a slogan that
should ring out from every school
room, office, farm and shop in this ma
ton. No man can aspire to a higher
honor than to become a capable citi-
zen, and no one can merit so dis
tinguished title until he is we'll in
formed of the resources, possibilities
and achievements of our country.
This is commercial age and CIV
ilization is bearing it's most golden
fruit in America. We are noted for
our industrial achievements as Egypt
was noted for her pyramids; Jerusa-
lem for her religion; Greece for her
art; Phoenicia for her fleets; ChaIdea
for her astronomy and Rome for her
laws. Likewise we have men who will
go down in the worlds history as pow
erful products of their age. For, stand
ing at the source of every gigantic
movement that sways civilization is a
great man. The greatest minds travel
in the greatest direction and the COM
mercial geniuses of this age would
have been the sculptors, poets, phil
osophers, architects, and artists of
earlier civilizations.

search was made for the child, and
eight months later Walters, who was
a travling tinker and preacher, was
arrested at Pearl River, Miss.
Walters had with him boy the
