thirty millions OF dollars, being larger
than the school fund OF all the states

With the growth of this country peo-
pie OF every cline were coming to
take advantage Of its freedom and ed
ucation. In the United States the
greatest problem seemed to be not TO
abuse the liberty that was enjoyed.
lie spoke of the religious freedom,
the complete separation OF state anC
church, as one of the greatest liber-
ties that could be had. and also men
toned that freedom of speech
press was sometimes abused. He
trusted that the class of teacher be-
fore him would see to II that freedom
of speech and press was not abused.

then told of the evolution OF the
franchise, and how a short time ago

been broken down. and the voters di-
rectly elected these public officials.
There was a time when the women
could not vote" said Mr.. Burnquist.

class of young women that the time
is very near when they will be grant

Should Not Abuse Rights.
He said that II the citizens were to
enjoy all these rights they should not
abuse them. In referring To the Euro
pean war he said that II had occur
red because the people had not been
taught the right philosophy. and were
now mortgaging the future of the
race to destroy human lives ami
property. which they should have
been taught to save. He told the teach
ers OF the class to teach the rhilosO-
ply considering all children Of men

osophy that would result I'm the real

wrote of a parliament of man and a

In voting for II in the committee"
You surely did and your friends
were astounded at your action"
But to read the bill over Il doesn't
sound so bad: II contains some ad-
mirable provisions about excluding
liquors and so forth. but have since
learned that the bad thing connected
with the boxing matches Is the class
of men and the debasing influences
that go with them. But we can repeal
the law In two years"
But man Of your stamp never
should have voted for such a bill.
And then We switched TO county
