OTTAWA FREE TRADER; SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1880. tiro were Independent atid could not be brought together. In between were the Industrial chool. Had the old tystem prevailed these schools never would have come, together. In America were first the New England school preparatory for the universities, but the schools of the country were not united Into one system.

Hut soon cnnie the sciences entering the homes of the people, clevutln the race crentltiR our modern civilian-tion and our modern inventions, creating new demands by opening up new knowledges. Though slow to concede it, the universities the world over were forced to admit science these things which have mude the XlXtu century what it U. These things have made the demand for higher schools for the people; and changing college curricula demand different preparatory schools, thus at last uniting the higher school with the common schools crowning the common schools with the High School, the people's college lead-ing the people to the uulversity. If we look at man in hi three fold being as child, youth, man, the High School lathe school for youth. The child is os yet "animal;" all Its Instinct are animal and reason, makes up but a small part of its being.

The education of the child mint be He must be tilled with facts that is all that can be done. Youth is the critical pe-rlod of life. Then the intellect awakes Incipient manhood. Then is born the High School scholar; and the child animal is gone." Strictly speak. Ing the university is not a school it is a great store house for men; a place for professional men to perfect thenmelves in science the school of the full grown man.

But here I am reminded that the American University does not fill this view, nor docs the High School, and that American schools are de-flclent compared with the German gymnasia. It must be remembered that schools are subject to their environs as in nature and all organizations. The American High School can never be the German gymnasium tior our universities the German. I would n6t deride the German university that most noblo institution but I would as Goon think of importing German Imperialism as her university. They are made for Germany; not for us.

The American university when it does come will be a growth, not an importation; we shall cover the ground in our own way; it shall be Amerieun and accommodated to its surroundings. Our High School shall bo the popular hlgln-r school and feeder to the colleges. I shall hear objections to the hitter. Some go so much far- Tiber as to wish to cut oil the Ilitrh School Itself as a gratuity. Hut as I have said this century has brought the lines together so there i no longer an educated class and tt labo.

ing clans-education Is open to all, to all is opeutd the road to the highest places in science, art and politics. I shall not attempt to say what a High School thall be. It is formative as yet and varies with communities; and I besides in skilled hands who have full knowledge of its uses. Yet I may suggest certain of ito limitations: (1) It is limited on the one side by the schools below it. It must not leave a gulf between to be passed, but must go down to meet the lower schools.

In the larger towns this gulf Is filled up. Yet as every High School draws from the country surrounding it must adapt itself to the conditions uf the country schools. (2) On the other hand it must be limited by the university Itself. It should continue until it meets the latter. It may go farther but must not leave a gap between for another school to come in to weaken it.

The colleiro is 6low to recognize the new order of education and does not come down and put itself in line with lower Schools; but it will come to that one day. (o) Then there is the limitation of the people fur whom the schools are made. It must adapt Itself to the personal needs of men. We have made them adapt themselves to our ideas of "development." I shall not derido "culture" develop ment and skill in thinking. Hut man must have facts materials or his skill will be useless.

education must ue lor personal or tiuuuc use ior his destiny. The studies should be such as shall fit a man for that which he shall be or do in life. Has not the common school too often forgotten this? Has it not too often looked to "culture' only? Is not the education the man wants that which shall fit him for life's work? I well re member how the Germans sneered at this "bread and butter science" learning was something higher, grander, nobler than that; but they have all come to it at last. And I would willingly swap the great Berlin university with Its S0O professors for our practical schools. The speaker then compared the value of "culture" with "Knowledge," snowing wny 1Mb latter is more needed now than the former.

We all know the importance of the High School; you aro all interested in it, and regret the blows struck at it. The law of the last ses sion of our legislature has already killed one High School and may kill more. Every legisla tor is certain he can make a school law and a doir law. They should have stuck to the dog law. The High Schools are In danger.

Yet the WW exist because they are needed. They may be eclipsed for a time but the light shall shine. Hut we want no eclipse. And I am sorry to see that legislators and governors are willing to ask only the common schools and cast the rest to sects and charity. It is well, then, that you master the arguments brought against the schools.

I will present two or three fallacies they use. (1) Higher education is a luxury and should be paid for by those who enjoy it." So is com mon school education a luxury. A man cum live without it. It is only a luxury because it is not necessary to the individual. Hut we do not give to the people what is necessary for them.

If we did not we should give them meat and potatoes. "Hut this common school education cau be given to everybody" we are told. It is not so. Besides that all schools are open to all. (2) "But the common schools are necessary for the support of the government" a police force a means of national well l.eiue, because the government needs an educated people.

But suppose I cut off the High Schools, how long would the common school education last? Who docs not know that like a child's whim it would begone in an hour. The schools are for childhood nothing more. Such schools have a value only as they are followed up by the press, which of itself originates in the higher school. (3) But if you give the people common school education they will get the rest them-6elves." I will reverse this, (live me two countries in all other respects niual. Let one have only common school; let the other have only the higher schools and watch them for 25 years.

What will be the difference Who docs not know The fountain never rises higher than its source. The colleges and gymnasia will educate the few who go to the people and educate them. They won't see ignorance around them long. But the county of common schools only will never rise higher. "But Benevolence will produce the higher education." Then you do admit its value.

But you're bringing (in common schools) the child to the table and then ask charity to feed him. Can Illinois afford to wait until Charity feeds her children. Charity and sects will never educate the people. What we waut Is the great lights to spread knowledge over our country. Wo want them for great crises.

Tho people sit as a Jury and we mult run ihptn licht. N'ot the tuners of the 3 R's." hut tho Hooded light of the knowledge oi native's laws and man power, needs and destiny. The High School plays as important a part as the common school. The mere number of pu pils Is nothing there must be road for those who will push forward. I believe the High School so fixed that it will exist, ignorance is tho more costly und com munities will tind it out.

if they haven't brains they must buy them. There is not a farmer in the land that has not lost more through those who take advantage ofihis ignorance than it would have cost him to go through the best college In the world. To save money, then, we Bhould build up instead of tearing down schools. I have made this argument one of expediency. I would lift It higher, and view education as a maker of character.

Is it enough to feed the child? Shall we not feed the spirit eternal? Shall we not have an education that shall last and aid us through a.l eternity a well as for tho days we spend In this lower land where tho Stars and Strlncs float so proudly. The peroration the tribute to education as a stepping to eternity was very beautiful, grand, and tho lecture closed amid great applause. The session closed yesterday at noon, most of the gentlemen leaving the city by the afternoon trains. The olllcers elected for the ensuing year arc as follows: President Joseph Carter, Peru.

In the evening the Liedertafel Society give a grand concert, for hich a splendid programme has been prepared.

All are invited to come to Ottawa nnd celebrate with our people. Tiilile Talk. Pack your collar-boxes And get out of town, For your country cousins They will all be down Wlien tbe summer closes And the peas and corn Have been dug from oil the trees Sure as you are born. There was a young girl of Cin-finatter, Who of Thomas's music had a smaller, And she bawled so by nightand bawled so by day That the neighbors subscribed and sent her away To Europe to linish her srnatter. The llqmhlican pronounces the democratic ratification last week nn utienthusiastic affair," or woidsto that fact.

What would you have the meeting do, neighbor? Tear down the old Court House, set lire to Cheever's block, and assassinate the Y. M. infant societv? We are pleased to be able to announce that D. H.V letters to the Fkf.e Tkahek, so long absent from this paper, will be resumed. Owing to a misunderstanding he was somewhat piqued as to some articles which appeared here reflecting on his friends; and to avoid all such mishaps for the future had determined to write no more.

His friends having induced him to reconsider for their benefit, ttie letters may be expected again soon. Mr. Stephen Arnold, in consenting to accept the office for the unexpired term of Mr. DenharJ, sacrificed a lucrative business at Mendota, for which he has not as yet been compensated. Mcndnta Miirr.

Keally, now, it is too bod about this man Arnold. L'nder the circumstances, a donation ought to be taken up for him. It isn't often a man deserts his wife and family and home and an immense business to serve the dear people for 11,500 a year. Really Mr. Arnold belongs to the race of office-seekers who died with Washington and had been entirely extinct until Mr.

Arnold hove In view. And to think that we didnt know it until today! To think that we have been entertaining an angel unawares when we thought he was only a tramp!" A few weeks ago when Garfield was nominated at Chicago, the La Salle lrt congratulated Dr. E. M. Garfield of that city as a near relative of the "Gen." Since, then Dr.

Garfield made a speech at the Hancock ratification meeting. The Prmt thereupon suddenly discovered that the Doctor is a very bad man and says so. Nevertheless the Prtt says: "Xow don't let this be a campaign of calumny!" a For a sick man Sheriff Stevens la lively as a flea. Out of half a dozen republican papers published in. the county on Saturday, six said: "Sheriff Stevens made a call yesterday," Ac.

We take It for granted the cigars and hard cider were acccptsblo these hard times." Tho repuu. papers like the Chicago Earning Journal and little country pop guns are telling tho people funny stuff. Look nt this from the Mendota linlUtiu: It is believed Hancock will not get the solid support tf the Bourbon demo-crats, by whom hi nomination is received ithout any expressions of enthusiasm." An editor who talks in that way is either an ass, a fool, or an ignoramus who doesn't rend the newspapers or see the people he writes for. The Illinois Press Association will excurslonlze this year to Lake Superior, starting from Chicago on Tuesday next. The Lake will bo reached by the Wisconsin Cent.

R. H. All good editors who join tho party may expect to be greeted along thn line with the salutation of "Dead Beat." Every dead beat who owes his subscription, steals his neighbor's paper and sponges his advertisng, i ready to call an editor a "dead beat," and their name is legion. Yel, strange us it may appear, the editors ho ill go to Lake Superior will pay hard cash for all their fun, and a good round price, too. Xo result of the "literary revolution" begun by tke "Lakeside Library" hovels Is of more value than the work now being done by the American Book Exchange, whose advertisements will be found in elsewhere.

Their books nre marvel of cheapness combined with excellence; and we know of no company in the world that can equal this in the production of books of standard literature and of practical value at prices within the reach of the most impecunious reader. The methods of temperance workers are peculiar. Long lectures to audiences, nine-tenths of whom never took drink in their lives, and three-fourths of whom couldn't tell gin from water by its appearance, follow thick and fast in churches that a drunkard never enters; while practical temperance work like a reading room is left to starve for the want of a few dollars.

The run on the jail was quite extensive this week. On Friday afternoon William Kcnully, of Strea tor, was brought in under bonds to keep the peace. lie had threatened to disembowel some unfortunate In that burg. He sueceeded in getting bail and was let out of the hole. On Tuesday Marshal Smith, of Mendota, sent dow a party of six, convicted of vagrancy.

It seems that on Sunday the party had had a keg or so of beef nnd were making a great disturbance near town, and when the police attempted an arrest showed light and were with difficulty run in. James Hollywood was sentenced forsix months just long enough to let him go on his next drunk a New Year's; Clias. Williams, James O'Brien, (ins Lambert, George, Itiehmond and James Kelly got four months each. They came down from Mendota in a summer wagon, firmly linked together ith shackles and chained to the wagon. John O'Keefe, of La Salle, a red headed duffer, made a little disturbance in that town on Tuesday, and when called to order by an officer pulled a pistol and was about to shoot when the weapon was taken from him.

He was put under bonds of $5o0 for attempt to kill, and came to Ottawa in lieu of the bonds. The present Grand Jury are "staye rs." This is their third week. They may finish to day. But the per diem runs on just the same. Every jury sent out this term of the Circuit Court (except ohc) ha been compelled to hunt consultation quarters in the cellar the building, driving Kelly, an imprisoned debtor, out of his quarters, there being no other room for juries.

The YouT.g Ladies' Entertainment at the High School on Tuesday evening fur the benefit of their reading room, was more than usually good. The audience, however, was small and the admissions were not enough to cover expenses owing probably to the fact that a free temperance lecture was going on in the next block. The readings bj iss Wright were very erjoj able and upccsaful In winulnir abundant applause. notwithstanding her poor health affected her delivery. Miss Hardy's songs were vigorously applauded.

She has a sweet voice of not wide com. pass.however.and sang with good taste. The piano duet by Misses Bushncil and Manley was very good as their playing always Is. But the "star" of the evening was Miss Maud Powell, violinist: She is some 12 or 14 years of age, and for a child of that age displays rare ability and remarkable technical skill. The entertainment merited a lnrge house.

A young man bv the name of William Kotz, miwlmi.mfor Mr. "Charles McClellan, came in my store one morning complaining that his feet hurt him very badly, and expressing rears nun they were frost-bitten. Ho had in vain tried to i'1-t li. bv consulting physicians, and had en deavored, wi.hout success to ease the pain by rub bing his feet with snow and ice, the remedy ap. plied in such cases.

Being exposed a great deal to the cold bv his occupation, Ills feet cot worse daily, until one day he fainted In the street. A few days after he again came to my store and showed me his feet. I have seen a great many sores in mvlife, but nothing to equal this, and was afraid the poor rellow would lose ins nmos. lie asked mo for St. Jacobs Oil; but at first I re-fused, as 1 did not wish to take the responsibility upon myself, not being a great admirer of so-called Patetit-Medlclnes.

However, some friends who happened to be In the store at the time begged me to give the St. Jacobs Oil to the sufferer; so we rubbed his feet well with the Oil, nnd he took the remainder with him. After nine dnvs the same man again came into my store, perfectly well, and requested me to write to you of this most wonderful cure; he also stated that two persons had been cured of rheumatism by the same bottle which helped him.
