EDUCATION PUBLIC NECESSITY.
THEREBY ALSO PUBLIC DUTY.

Eight hundred seventy-fipe young
people graduated from the Denver
high schools last year.
About twelve thousand people wit
messed the graduating exercises field
in the big auditorium.
Bishop Charles l.. Meade was the
principal speaker On this occasion.
He lauded the public schools of A.
merica, stating that they are the
most valuable of all the educational
Institutions. He pointed out the
supreme Importance of education in
every persons life, saying tht educa-
tlon is public necessity, and, there
fore, public duty
public duty!
What is a public duty?
At present there is movements on
in our midst which offers the OPP
portunity to every voter to perform
this public duty; namely the consoi-
idation of our public schools.
The father or mother who fails to
vote for the consolidation of our pub
lie schools, fails in the proper per-
formance of their duty to their chill
dren, and the proper performance Of
their duty to others.
The husband or wife, who has no
children of his or her own, will per-
form this public duty by voting for
consolidation.
A public duty. therefore, is task
we should perform for the benefit OF
others, even though apparently no
special benefit is derived by US.
But we are always helped when we
try to help others.
