What are the results?
The boy tails to be interested in
the dry routine of class room work,
without a personality behind it; he
lulls with delljht his sumniei vaca-
tion, and finally drops out of school
altogether with only a smattering
ki.owedge of the "Three R'i."
Under an absolute monarchy, it !0
a matter of very small concern what
becomes of the boy after this. He
sinks into the great mass of collec
tie mediocrity where fame or am
fbition ig not a ,)art 0( the curricuIm
,and hla lndliduality, if he had any,
is lost sight of in the common exis-
tence of the mass.
In a Republic this boy when he
reaches his majority, becomes a re-
sponsible part of our government. He
has all the privileges that go with
manhood suffrage and manhood suf.
frage can direct the rise or fall of any
government—a power that no soverign
despot ever possessed in the abso-
lute. , (

Part in the primary training of this
citizen with the church and the
home, the state as well as the home
will reap what it has sown, even to
the third and fourth generations.
If the Emersons, the Longfellows
the Whittiers and the Lowells no
longer inspire the youth of our
schools to nobler things in life and
Uiese should unhappily be replaced
hy the inferior type, known as the
Rockefellers, the Carnegies, the Mor-
gans and the Harrimans, it will re-
quire no seer to determine when we
shall reach the decline and fall of
. tour great Republic.
I Some of us still burn inscense at
I the shines of such characters as Em-
erson and Longfellow, which may be
, old fashioned; Ihut when the virtues
which they upheld and inspired our
youth with In an elder day, are over-
| shadowed and eclipsed by another
' standard which spells decay and
leath to the Nation, the responsi-
| >ility of this will rest no where as
j leavily as it will on our public
I chool system.
| My plea is for the boy, who is the
ope of the Nation, who in the future
' c°ntrol the destiny which will
f eep us in the front rank as a world
□wer, who will man the fighting
eet at sea and command our armies
i the battlefield; and who as a cit_
en, either in pifblic or in private life
ill be called upon to direct and
>rk out a solution of the great mor-
issues that affect us as a race and
^ a Nation.
