The program of exercises has already been printed in The Star. It is understood that the address issued by Mrs. C. S. Brice to the women of Ohio, relative to the pro- posed memorial, which has been enthusi- astically received by those to whom it was addressed in every part of that state, will be adopted as the official expression of the views on the subject by the convention. In part, the address is as follows “In crder to make plain what I wish to say of the George Washington memorial, I must first speak of the University of the United States, which it was the desire of Washingto to ‘stablish, and which he urged in many of his public utterances. I quote from his farewell address: ‘Promote then, as a subject of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge;’ ‘In proportion as the structure of the government gives force to public opinion, it Is essentiz should be enlightened “In his message to Congress, 1796, he says: ‘I have heretofore proposed to the consideration of Congress the expediency of establishing a national university, and a military academy.’ that public opinion Bare of Improvement. “If his eye beholds the present state of his beloved country, he sees in West Point and Annapolis adequate fulfillment of 1 desire for the militant protection of the nation, but, alas, set t as the site of the natlo of his hopes is yet bare of any improvement, and the bequest made in his will for the perpetual endowment of an institution of learning, devoted to the arts and sciences of peace, is lost, lapsed, almost forgotten. [ad his bequest been conserved as the property of an individual, it would today amount to more than fpur million do! not the righ@ then, to ask Congress for an accounting, or for an equivalent of sum, to be used for the purpose for » he intended—the establishment of a university, which should gather all know!- pdge. and disseminate it, by educating the youth from all parts of the land, in s letters and statecraft, and in so doing in still such a pure patriotism, such a pro- found love of the whole country, that ih could know no north, no south, no east, no west? By the elation and infusion of common ideas to so imp: the spirit of our institutions upon the rising generation of citizens as to weld the diverse interests of a country embracing so many varieties of soil, climate, products and people; bind into one perfect nation the many states by the strong cord-love of country, so that it cannot be broken asunder. “lt must be an institute to which men may come for the learning higher than the school and state college, but which must be the crown and roof-tree of our whole educational structure. As the state fur- nishes the free sckools and colleges for children and youth, so should the nation support the free cniversity for the ad- vanced student. ‘This university, planted in the land of universities, must become one of the leading institutions of the world. An Early Reminder. Samuel Blodgett, conceiving it to be an indispensable duty after the death of Washington to follcw the commanding ad- vice and noble example of the father of his country, so irresistibly portrayed in his farewell address and the bequest of his will, called, Janvary 10. 1803, the attention of Congress to this bequest, and so ful- filled a promise made to more than one thousand subscribers, whose names accom- panied the memorial, requesting that a committee be appointed to consider the setting apart of public nds in the wesi- ern territory for this imps nt institution, “Again, December 23, 1805, he presented another ‘memorial, representing subscrip- tions to the number of eighteen thousand, and the sum received of $50,000, Congress to designate one al- ready contemplated in the city of Wash- ington, and suggesting the plan of an equestrian statue of the original founder of the National University as a beautiful ce ter-plece for the entire plan, to be sur- rounded by halls and colleges, as they may be built by the fund to which the whole people, from Maine to Georgia, were then contributing. Let us add from the Atlan- tic to the Pacific, and realize what they planned. “The need for it is as great today as when the nation was in its infancy, since more than 4,000 students annually seek in the institutions of England, Scotland, Ger- many and France the results of research whi they do not find at home. ‘The national institution which Wash- ington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison thought so necessary has not been estab- lished, and in these later years the idea of a great national university constitutes no part of the pians of our legislators. It seems to have been lost sight of by the peo- ple. In the meantime, bureaus of science have grown up one by one under the fos- tering care of the government. Observato- ries, laboratories, museums, libraries, until the whole range of physical science rep- resented by national institutions estab- lished and supported by the government for the purpose of prosccuting researches in astronomy, meteorology, geography of land and sea, geology, chemistry, statistics and mechanical inventions. Grent Possibilities, “If these various commissions, bureaus and divisions of the executive devart- ments, which have for their object sclen- tific research, could be combined as parts of one institution, it would be of greater proportions and more comprehensive than any other in the world. With a university erected thereon commensurate with the foundations, it would be without a rival in the world. Already t government sup- ports by an annual appropriation of $3,- 000,000 these departments of scientific work, which can be made available. The Nation- al Library, the largest in the world, hous- ed in the’ finest building for that pur- pose in the work special libraries, the Smithsonian, with 250,000 volumes; a law library of 50,000 volumes, covering the jurisprudence of ‘he civilized world; the naval observatory, which may not ri- val the Lick or’ Yerkes in star-gazing appliances, but sufficient to teach the whole science of astronomy; the Na- tional Musevm, with its twenty-two departments, each under a curator, and a library of 20,000 volumes; hor- Ucultural and agricultural departments; Corcoran Art Gallery, with its splendid endowment of a million dollars, and its classes of painting and drawing. “Men need be taught how to bear them- selves in the present life, so as to do their duty to the state, to others, to themselves. This sentence is the foundation of the ed- ucationai system of Prussia, the first great result of which is the University of Berlin, just three-quarters of a century old, and which brings annually together five thou- sand of the most aspiring and intelligent youths of all Germany. Why should we Icnger postpone the establishment of an institution to teach our rising generation, the future rulers of the land, how to do well what they find to do? Why not com- bine and conserve the foundations at hand to make a national university of which we all can be proud, and to which shall come from the broad borders of our land the eager searchers after knowledge, as- sociate them in common pursuits, free from sectional prejudice, and imbue them with an enduring Icve of country. Became a Body Politic. “From time to time efforts have been made to secure action by Congress for the establishment of this university. In ac- cordance with the provision of a general law, approved May 5, 1870, the National University the t9tt-of September, 1870, be- came a body politic and corporate. The charter makes the President of the United States ex-officio chancellor of the uni- versity. The Peed commencement was held in Lt in Hall, May 21, 1872. President Grant conferred the degree of bachelor of law upcn a class of thirty-two young men, so Ab rimary object of edu- cating young ngis|fn. the science Of ov. ernment first cstablished the law college. But_we must not«top there. “The committee having the matter in charge broughty their report to the last Congress, recommening the bill for the es- tablishment of sity of post-gradu- ate rank, for fas for original resei and investigation, s i to be established jn the bia. The National igdu has formed a committee educators, jurists, scientist to promote th use of th the United tive From this an ex courcil en to frame a bill for the more immediate direction of the uni- versity. What relation docs the George Washington Memorial bear to it? Simply this: It is an enterprise indorsed by the National Educational Association, and _un- dertaken by the women of the land. Theic immediate organization is for the purpose of raising a fund of $250,000 to be used in erecting a building which shall be known as the George Washington Memorial, to be used as an administration building of this university, on the land which Washington mated, and which he endowed in his Women Will Lay Corner Stone. ould we succeed—and we will—to the women of the country wiil belong the honor cf laying the corner stone of this great en- terpr’ Shall we make the effort to stir the spirit of patriotism until an aetual liv- ing influence, love of country, transforms this neglected trust into a fund for a me- morial of Washington, the corner stone of which shall be laid in December, 1890, the centennial of his death? I need not say the women of Chio have never been found wanting in any good work, and this cause challenges the noblest, the strongest, tenderest feelings of our mother hearts. “To the Daughters of the Revolution this appeal must come as a kindling fire upon the altar of the father of his countr; whom we worship not as an idol, but as the wise prophet who read the future and feared lest we fail to preserve that which had been established by fire and sword. “Daughters of the Republic, what shall we bring to lay upon the altar of count We whose hearts beat quicker at the tap of the drum, for the scenés it recalls of the civil war, what sacrifice: we will- ing to make to preserve united and free this land as a worthy heritage for our chil- dren? In the spirit of Washington teach the youth of the nation loyalty, patriot- ism; in the spirit of Lincoln teach them to bear ‘malice toward none, charity for Our institutions of learning, nurtured y a wise use of the wealth of our land, shall lead the world in searching out knowl- edge and making known the secrets of science; and so shall we rise to our own place among the nations of the earth, our starry banner shall float over college and university, the emblem telligent citizenship and enlightene erty. the Plan of the Work. “Are you ready to take up the work of organization, following the plan of the na- ional committee formed in Boston in Au- gust last? The national committee is com- posed of a chairman, recording secretary, corresponding secretary, treasurer and vice chairman, one from each state and territory in the Union. The representative from the state in turn becoming the chaifr- man for the state, with secretaries, tred urers and vice chairmen, onc from e: congressional district: the chairman of the district having secretaries and treasur- er, and calling to her aid representat of clubs and all organizations of women in the district. “The object is to set apart one day or program for the consideration of thi mat- ter, to the end that all women of the land contribute on Washington's next day to this fund.

SORTED BY THE SEX Operation of a New System of Dis- (ributing Mail Matter. The second assistant postmaster gene: has received encouraging reports from As sistant Superintendent R. C. Jackson of New York, who has charge of the intro- duction of a new system of distribution. The plan has primarily fcr its object expe- dition In the dispatch of second mail matter and the saving of extra work on the part of public, employes. Brie the plan contemp a distribution of all second-class matter by the sender as to states, the department furnishing the nec- essary mail bags properly stamped and sending a representative to explain the method. In a’ letter from Pittsburg, Pa., this morning, Superintendent Jackson shows conclusively the good results at- tained. Last January, when he introduced the system, 77 per_cent of all the mail matter cf the seCond class sent to the post office was mixed, and required distribu- tion. In August it had fallen to 65 per cent, wrile last month, the system nearing perfection, but 17 per cent of the matter sent to the post office was mixed. In discussing the new system with a re- porter of The Star this afternoon, Mr. Shallenberger said: “The system is one which gives publish- ers additional opportuniy to catch late trains and incidentally ¢over more ground in the distribution of the mail. No addi- tional labor would be imposed upon the publisher, who would simply distribute his mail in the first instance according to states, and thereby relieve the congestion incident to the piling up of second-class rratter late in the afternoon, when con- siderable time must be expended in the distribution. The system, he said, would be rapidly extended.” ————-——____. Government Receipts.
