The attention of superintendents and principals^ called ,tu the approaching centennial anniversary of the day when John Marsha)), of\Virginia, toofc bis seal as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court ol the United States at Washington, oa the Fourth Wy.of,February, 1901. The day will be aftPFopnately cele brated pnder tlie auspicea of the Judge J.-M. Biartiilomew will deliver an address before the joint assembly at 3ismsrck, and meetings viH be held by the various city and county bar associa* (ion throughout the state. The occasion seems a uioat fltting on#y J^ .apeaw),J«Mopi '-j-in^ i«trioUsi^^j|^^K- special study in .character. Iu all essential elements of greatness John Marshall easily measures up to thl ideate of a man, a patriot and judgq, and the turning of the ,thought of the nation to the mighty wxk ,he wrought^, and its lasting benefit to ,p«/md man kind, will.be^n education*! jnfluence which can ,not be overestimated. The contemplation of such a resplendid character can not fail to be aninspiratioa to the manhood of America. To Marshall perhaps more than to anjr other man, with the probable exceptioa of Washington Ipimsel f, was our ex peri ment of a constitutional Federative Re public: made a success, It ,w^e the con stant hana.inering.of tlwjcrqatf hiefjpstiflp which welded nnion so thatyit.Jhas been able,to sus,hpin ,wreaches^w^ia,h^vould have torn wund9r,and destroyed fii/PPt unv other governuaent^wljje/i qjulertoojc to govern so great an extent jpf,£QFritory with such divergent interests io tfee tfif. ferent parts of the state. All honor tlian, to the great Chief Jus* .• tice. To study and to proclaim his worth, virtues and service, can not faM to awaken and strengthen every patriotic virtue aityoqg °ur people. On this day the thought of all £be(j»eo pie should be called not only to a pro found contemplation of the depth ef gratitude America owes to if9^ Mar* shakl, but to (the legal profession and to the work done by its members in all the great crisis of our national history, Tltajr will learn much of the federal supreme court, the greatest judicial tribunal on this earth, and our nation's strongest safeguard, and thev will more clearly recognize law as a definition of Ameri can liberty, and more fully let as hop^, grssp the truth that obedience to law In tti«sl)Kiepubliciaitliebestanafanteeef tbe ^j| welfare of tfie individual citiitea. aad the prosperity and peunanence national life. ,Let every school lionse In tbe state oa February,4,1901, be devoted to an enthu siastic celebration of John Marshall Dsy. Nothing, J11 my opinion, can do more for the cause of general education and higher, nobler purposes ef the bench, and bar, and peoplf. I, Therefore, recommend that where ever practicable, the public schools, and especially the high schools, be per mitted to join iu tbe observance of the day before mentioned. -'V J. M.
