The American public school is not

try like the national board of health,
but an integral part of our national
life.' The public school is a growth
and is deeply rooted in th soil of our
existence. The enemies of the school.
system have been the enemies of the
American governmental system The
friends of nationality are the bulwarks
of the public schools. The whole
American system is open to transfor
mation or abolition. Either arm orlo
of the body politic may' be amputated
by-the consent of the .whole! brain of
that'boily,. when a movement vvas made
education, the purpose 'if accomplished
would be the'dismembei-Kieni of a com
pact living boly. Those who assail
the purpose of popular-education must
bring proofs of the falsity of this - re
eeived dictum, "that we must educate
our masters." $ -
The uncultivated mass of Americans
simply thiuk of the schools as a means
of giving their children-a chance to get
a beiter living. Cultivated people
whether poor or rich, thiuk of the
schools as at least producing a certain
Bieiuai turniture tor tne cniiaren s
mind whereby they may make use of
the advantage which a free social ccm
jietition offers them. . Thoughtful peo
ple believe that whatever amount of
education can raise a young peison in
the social scale tends to make that per
son respect his own opinions and that
of others. It raises him in the social
scale, makes life more wot thy of living
by increasing its horizon, and liberty
more enchanting by enlarging its pos
sibilities and property more j desirable
by developing the advantages of its
possession . Knowledge introduces us
into a world full of chances winch are
denied to the illiterate. iHowever
much we may lament , a j defective
method in education, or lament the de
fective material upon which it has to
act, the thing , itself ip, beyond ques
tion one of the most potent agencies in
the advancement.-of modern society.
Nothing pays so quick an average profit
as brains ana that country wnose

to had the rest in commerce and in
useful, arts. .Education supplies its
possessor with efficient he'p to satisfied
physical wants. " Education sees wants
in the 'person - of its happv j possessor
which leads him to rise . int6 a more
virtuous -position in society, and in
both'w.ivs men are removed from the
I
temptation to ordinary "crimes, and so
ciety saved trom corruption. .Lduca-
tion is the mightiest machine! we have
for tliij t-iviiizntion of the world.
Americans bl:cve this, and are not

But hov best can we roach all clashes
with our sohools, especially tho lowest
and poorest? Ls it not a fact the mass
t the people are better educated now.
than tho upper classes were seventy
-r " . - - i . t ,i
years ag i.s it not a tact taac the
average American boy or ijirl out ranks
in general intelligence, the youth' of
any country under Heaven? The
proof of this is we publish more books
and newspapers' than -any nations in
the world according to population, we
use the mot correct forms and means
of speech.; Thes.3 and more than these
are the-result of our public school bys
tem which has given the best general
erudition the world has ever seen.
While we are painfully forced to ac
knowledge some defects in our systems
of education. We need stability, the
department is suffering from too many
changes in its course of work, it has
shifted and drifted like sand hills,
there are too many loose ends, too
many opinions and not enough con
centration, too many standards and
not enough conformity to any one.
Let us as teachers use oar utmost
efforts to makeknown the relations
of our schools to the home aud society
and to show it so clearly to all thought
ful persons that the future advance
ment of the schools must bo mainly
along the line of professional training
and higher qualifications of the teachers
for their important work. Let us not
under estimate the dignity of our call
ing, this has been a serious trouble
with a great many teachers, there is in
many quarters a stolid indifference to
all the remotest relations too many, far
too many, are mere "piece workers"
and sadly unskilled at that, they see
nothing beyond tho task of the hour.
The thought that they are equiping
human beings well or ill for tho hard
struggle of life never comes to them,
no v s as open before them in which full
grown men and women are joyfully
winning their way because of faithful
ministry. The efficiency of the public
school depends upon the efficiency of
the teacher. The school committee
the superintendent, rules and regula
tions, are practically impotent unless
the teacher is cap-ible, energetic,, poss
essed of due disciplinary and attractive
power all the machinery of tho law, all
the distribution of money, i3 so far in
effective as it or they fail to furnish
competent teachers. It is the teacher
who comes into direct contact with the
pupil, who inspires or repels, who
guides or fails to guide. To-day our
marching orders are, educate the chil
dren. We have in our hands a fearful
responsibility, the mind must be moul
ded, they. iimt b3 ; fortified by wise
instruction and early systematic train
ing against false theories and practices.
The State looks to us for future citi
zens. Let us give a faithful account of
our stewardship. Xerxes

Jinilicrs Chimerical. -1 It.i Mti j'ul
Xhevry spoiled. Awl a part of
Illntimj Shorne of its Slagic
ttutl lUttnanilc Cltarms,
The question has been asked for cen
turies who built the 'mounds? When
did they live? t Where did the builders
come from? Where, did they go to?
What were the mounds built for, and
how long have they bcei builtt It is
right to ask questions about what we
do not know, and about what we wish
to learn, but the answer to all these
questions, except their duration is no
longer left- for future . generations.
Who has ever read of tho wonderful
.Pyramids of kgypt who did "not be
come fascinated with those, st upend nous
works of human skill and - ingenuity,
and sigh for more light than tradition
and history can fdve? Who has not
eagerly devoured every book and line
and account of -returning travelers
from that ancient land and found out
the more he hears, the les3 he is satis
fied; because the flowing years brin
to him no certain knowledge of, by
whom, when, and for what purposes
thosa huge monuments of human
energy, were erected? Tho historian
tells us tint the same race of people,
who built the Pyramids, built these
mounts that spread all over North
America. This m-jy be true, but no
historian has ever produced a known
fact to prove his assertion. All that
his!
ory has saul on these two" topics
simply amounts to this: They do not
know who built the Pyramids, they do
not know who built the mounds;
therefore the pyramid and mound buil
ders were the same race of people.
Tho loaic is not mine. Before I am
through with these lines I will show
that the pyramid builders did not
uunu mo mounas, tnat no other race
of people built them, and more,
that
may
has
they were not built at all." This
appear bold in the fsce of all that
een said and written on this interest
ing topic. . The theory is this, that an
early period after delusre, a 'people'-of
the East emir ited with their flocks
and herds west, settled in Egypt, and
subdued its inhabitants, formed a king-
dom and reigned for a lonjj period
or
time, during which they built cities
and, among other works built the Pyr
amids, made tho Sphinx and did other
works which have been entirely lost,
or are still unfarthed, and that after a
long reign, they were overpowered by
those wdiom they" had. conquered and
driven from the land. Because their
wealth, consisted in their herds and
flocks and because they were superior
in governing, they were called shep
herd kiiigs and are so known in his
tory. Being from Egypt, they took a
northeast course across the continent
of Asia and in due time arrived on the
west shore of Behring Strait, crossed
over by some means into America,
gradually travelled south and ultimately
spread over all of North America, into
Mexico, and perhaps, passed finally in
to South America. That all along
this line of inarch and settlement,
which took ages and generations, they
builtstone walls, pyramids, and mounds
of earth and iu America having lest
much of their former skill and unable
to frame suitable tools, ceased to work
much in stem1, and hence built mounds,
which we finds spread more or less all
over the con'inent. This may be true
in part of that ancient people, and this
may be the true theory cf the peopling
of America, but it is no solution of
how the mounds came about. The his
torian has tcld us who built these
mounds, but has failed to tell us what
they were built for, or at least ha3 failed
to furnish a single known fact to cor
roborate his assertion. True some say
for forts, or places of refuge, some for
homes, some for retreats from high
water, some for altars and so on, but
where is a known fact in connection
with these mounds that tends in the
least to verify a single assertion above.
If built for fortifications, or place3 of
refuge, who were those people at war
with. History says the same race in
habited the whole of the land, and we
might all l3eve it from the- similarity
of these mounds, and also that these
people are numerous, from the count
less numbers of these little hid3, and
wo might add from all appearance that
they had an abundance of cheap labor.
If built for homes, would there not be
some found upon mountain sides and
plateaus as rude nations usually live
among the hills and mountains. If
built as places of safety frcm high wa
ter, where did the water come fiom and
where did it go to? And would not
the water tint would drive them to
these retreats be likely, sometimes, to
overflow the whole surface and drown
the whole population? These mounds
are usually found on planes and level
lands and the water would overflow
them very deep sometimes. Besides
what would the people subsist upon
while standing upon the mound3 wait
ing for the waters to subdue? They
would collect in these places in a haste
and hardly bring much to cat with
them. The overflow that would take
place would likely destroy their crops
also. Tlie mounds are too low fcr
places of refuge from high water and
therefore we hazard nothing in saying
th's hypothesis is all false. If built for
altar?, or for religious purposes where
is the evidence. The pyramid and
mound builders being the same race of
piople' we rightly infer that the mounds
were built for the same purpose that
the pyramids were built. That the
for altars or
ior religious purposes is
evident from
could be laid.
the fiic-t that no sacrifi
upon tnem and no worshiper could
ascend them, at ail, until a part of the
urface work was taken away, the en
tire surface of those pyramids being
smooth faces of stone work, i If built;
for other .religious purposes, and by tho
same race as the pyramid builders, no -inference
can be drawn in this direc
tion from what is known of the pyra
mids, as no such belief lingers in tradi-
firm r.f iu f-vnnl iv V
pyramids were not built
r i
1 will add that if these mounds werr '.
built for places cf devotion, that
the
mouna imiklers, .whatever
may haveW,.
been their religion,, at. least ontwardl,' ,
were as much more religions people -
than those who now occupy tlie mound
regions. If built tor burial grouuds,
then . must have the pyramids been
built for tho same purpose as tho saino i
lifiniile built, tlipm 1 w l ! ti..1 i.
the same object. s But such was . not "
the case, as they were built solid," or :
nearly so, and, besides, no history or i
tradition intimates such thought. ; They
have been attributed to the bnflalo as
those animals, when resting, after feed- .
ing, generally stand in large circles,
close together, with their heads in, and-
when the buffalo was numerous such a
trampled circules could be found in. it
many places on the plains. Thepraire. . .
dog is said to have built thenr, and pr
hap?, other animal, and somo have
ascribed them to the agmcj of water
at some prehistorian period. I am pre- v
pared to disprove every one of these
hypotheses, and will convince you,
reader before I am done that they are ;
all false. Geologists have given this ,
phenomenon but little thought or in
vestigation, so far as. I have heard or ,
seen, and therefore wo can look for but
little information
from that sourca.

Three additional steamers have been

cultural products are as good as any.
These county faire are admitted to bo
of much . benefit, and are only; detri

their fairs, and if our people visit any
thing of the kind they must go else
where. Another year should not pass
