PRES. R0B'T J. Alley OF u. OF N.
GIVES ADDRESS BEFORE MEETING
ANN INSTITUTE OF INSTRUCTION

Cambridge, Mass, July 1.-(Spe-
cial)-The meeting Of the American
Institute Of Instruction was opened
President Robert J. Alley Of the Uni
versity Of Maine, who gave the fol-
lowing address at the evening ses-
sion.
Education and Democracy.
In this discussion shall use the
word Democracy in the usually under
stood sense Of the term. Let us think
OF 1t then as that form of government
in which the people as a whole legis-
late and choose their executive and
judicial officers either directly, as in
the New England town meeting, or
through representatives., as in our
state and nation.
All of us are intensely interested in
the perpetuity Of our institutions. and
are greatly concerned that the princi-
Piles OF true democracy shall prevail.
We desire the people rather than the
mob to rule. We are anxious, and all
true citizens are anxious, that the in
dividual shall lift himself above the
level Of the average and achieve ev-
erything that Is possible. These inter-
ests and desires Of ours all point to a
close relation between democracy and
education.
No government by the people can be
much better than the people them
selves. The people Of this country.
whether it be in town, municipal, state,
or national affairs, are getting just
about what they want. Tho govern
menf itself cannot get much in adj
vance nor very much behind the COM
mon concensus Of the people. 1t is
very essential In a government by the
people that gains be held. Our coun-
try has been fortunate in having its
fundamental law Of such a character
that sudden and revolutionary changes
are difficult to make. What the peO-
pie decide upon in their moments Of
calm judgment when they are at their
best should be securely held against
the spasmodic notions that come as a
result Of a demagogic agitation. The
system of checks written in the funda-
mental laws of state and nation have
long since proved their wisdom and
value The most fundamental reason
why thorough and complete education
Of all the people Is necessary in a
democracy is that the democracy itself
may be saved from sudden and de-
structive changes.
The public school is an organized al
i of the government in country like
ours. Perhaps it is not doing all it
should do as a good ally. l desire to
call attention to a few things that
possibly should be stressed more than
they have been in the past.
Many foreign critics have called at
tention to our general lack of respect
for law. AS a people We do not have

TYR0L ADVANCE

Udine, Italy, July 1.-(Via Lugano to
Paris, AS P. M)-The Italian advance
in Tyrol is seriously hindered by the
continued bad weather, which is exceptio-
al in midsummer. The mountaineers do
not remember a season when there has
been so much snow on the heights on
July /. The mountain streams which
usually are dry at the end Of June are
now deep and almost impossible.
The Italian troops are encountering
snow storms and thick fogs which have
interfered with long range firing. Hall

are anxious to make the proposals as
conciliant and acceptable as possible
These officials, however, have to reck-
on with the force of strong public opin-
ion which undoubtedly will oppose
anything savoring of complete acquies-
cence in the American proposals. This
force is being skilfully exploited by
those who are opposed to all conces-
sions. Friends of a settlement are
working under these circumstances
with considerable difficulty and the
note probably will represent COM
promise not in accordance with their
desires.

On Western Front Z

The Arras sector maintains its reputa-
ton as the storm center of the western
front. but despite the fact that the losses
are piling up daily, neither side has been
able to deliver a decisive blow. A dis
patch tonight from Athens says that the
Allies have taken the Turkish stronghold
of Krthia on the Gallipoli peninsula,
to the western edge Of which Gen. Ian
HamiIton's report of yesterday carried
his forces. but there is no confirmation.
Qualification over the British progress
in Gallipoli hardly more pronounced than
the realization of the tremendous task
which faces England and France in their
attempt to clear the Turks from their
natural defences barring the way to Con-
stantinople.
The first stroke against British naval
craft in home waters for some time is
announced briefly by the admiralty to-
night. which says that Is men have been
lost by the mining or torpedoing of the
destroyer Lightning, an old craft laid
down two decades ago.
Bulgaria, which both sides are using
every effort to bring into the conflict,
has notified its reservists in England to
be ready to join the colors, but the Bull
garian officials here say that this is a
purely perfunctory procedure.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1915-07-02

The development Of the Galician cam
paign has created a situation entirely
unexpected by the Allies. A few months
ago the Russians were at the Carpathian
passes and during the Sfring months
there were confident predictions both in
England and France that Hungary would
son be overrun. The British psnss has
been optimistic for weeks that -. Rus
slams would turn and make a stand. but
it now fRnkly comedies that the new in
vasion of Russia is serious. The papers.
however, place faith in Russia's NUM-
tons campaign, much the same as the
British public is relying upon David
Lloyd Georges plans to equip the Brit
ish, army in France so as ultimately to
match the German in explosives and ana
munitions, especially machine guns.
