They sometimes take the form of .a claim that our institutions were founded long ago: that changed conditions require that they now be changed. Especially is it clalmed by those seeking such changes that these new arrivals and men of their race and ideas had no hand in the making of our country, and that it was formed by those who were hostile to them and thercfore they owe it no sup- port. * * ¢ In these days of violent agitation scholarly men should reflect that the progress of the past has been accom- plisied not by the total overthrow of institutions so much as by discard: ing that which was bad and preserv- ing that which was good; not by revolution but by evolution has man worked -out his destiny, We shall ~miss the central feature of all prog- ress unless we hold to that process now. It is not a question of whether our institutions are perfect. The most, beneficent of our institutions had their beginnings in forms which would be particularly odious to us now. Civilization began with war and slavery; government began in abso- lute despotism; and religion itself grew out of superstition which was oftentimes marked with human sac- rifices. So out of our present imper- fections we shall develop that which is ‘more perfect. But the candid mind of the scholar will admit and seek to remedy all wrongs with the me zeal with which it defends all ts. From the knowledge and the learn- ing of the.scholar there ought to be deyeloped an abiding faith. What is the teaching of all history? That which is necessary for the welfare and progress of the human race has never been destroyed. The discoverers of truth, the teachers of science, the makers of inventions, have passed to their last rewards, but their works have survived. The Phoenician gal- leys and the civilization which was born of their commerce have per- ished, but the alphabet which that people perfected remains. The shep- herd kinds bf Israel, the temple and empire of Solomon, have gone the way of all the earth, but the Old Testa- ment has been preserved for, the in- spiration of mankind. The ark of the coyvenant and the seven-pronged candle-stick have passed from human view; the inhabitants of Judea have been dispersed to the ends of the carth, but the New Testament has survived and increased in its influence among nien. The glory of Athens and Sparta, the grandeur of the Imperial City, are a long-lost memory, but the poetry of Homer and Virgil, the ora- tory of Demosthenes and Cicero, the philosophy of Plato and Aristotle, abide with us forevermore. Whatever America holds that may be of value to posterity will not pass away. The long and toilsome processes| which have marked the progress of the past cannot be shunned by the present generation to our advantage. We have no right to expect as our| portion something substantially dif- ferent from human experience in the| past. The constitution of the uni-| verse does not change. Human na- ture remains constant. That service | and sacrifice which have been the| price of past progress are the price;| of progress now. | This is not a gospel of despair,| but of hope and high expectation, Qut of many tribulations mankind has pressed steadily onward, The| opportunity for a rational existence | was never before so great, Blessings | were never so doubtful. But the evi-| dence was never so overwhelming as| now that men and nations must live rationally or pcrish. | A Leter to the Mayor of Boston My dear Mr. Mayor: It will ‘be with a good deal of sat- | isfaction that 1 co-operate with you and any other cities of Massachu setts for the purpose of increasing | the pay of those engaged in the teaching of the youth of our com- monwealth. It has become notori- | ous that the pay for this most im- Travelers has so far arrived at itS|wag taken to the portant function is much less than| that which prevails in commercial life and business activities, | Roger Ascham, the tcacher to! Queen Elizabeth, about 1565, in dis- & this question, wrote: “And | that commonly more care L yea and that among very men, to find out rather a cun- ning man for their horse than a cun- for their children. They but they do so in one they will gladly Hing man Ay nay I feed. Vor ot that greater compen n is paid for the unimportant things than is pald for training the intellectual abllities of our youth, might exist in the six- teenth century, but it ought not to exist in the twentieth centur: [Fortunately for us, the seerling character of teachers of all kinds has kept them at their task even though we have failed to show them due ap- precjation, and up to the present time th public has suffered little. But unless a change is made and a new policy adopted, the cause of education will break down. It will either become a trade for those little fitted for it or be abandoned alto- gether, instead. of remaining the noblest profession, which it has been and ought to be. There are some things that are fundamental. In the sixteenth cen- tury the voice of the people was lit- tle heard. If the sovereign had wis- dow, that might suffice. -But in the twentieth century the people are sovereign. What they think deter- mines every question of civilization, Uniess they are well trained, well in- formed, and well instructed, unless & proper value is put on knowledge and wisdom, the value of all material things will be lost. There is now no pains too great, no cost too high, to prevent or dimin- ish the duty enjoined by the consti- tution of the commonwealth that wisdom and knowledge, as well as virtue, be generally diffused among the body of the people. This important subject ought to be considered and a remedy provided at the special session of the general court. Oakland_ Demonstrations Of Four Wheel Brakes Undoubtedly the most spectacular and practical demonstration ever given of the latest development in motor car design—in this case the four-wheel brakes—is being carried to thdusands of villages, towns and cities by the fleet of Oakland True Blue travelers which are speeding from the factory to the furthermost Atlan- tic and Pacific coast cities of the United States. The cars have been on the road for more than a month and in that time bave given more than 600 demonstra- tions on oil-soaked pavements that have been wet down to present the most treacherous conditions a driver could meet. The cars have attained a speed of from 35 to 40 miles an hour on these wet pavement tests, have stopped in a short distance and what is more important have not swerved a fraction of an inch from a straight line. The wheel marks on the pavements have been as straight as the street car tracks near which the demonstrations were frequently given. It is estimated that 75,000 persons have actually seen the demonstra- tions. In many places they were given at the foot of steep hills and fre- quently a turn had to be made after coming down these hills to hit the wet pavement, In small cross-road towns where there were no pave- | weather in which ments the steepest hills were picked out and the cars were stopped in half the distance that the ordinary two wheel brake car could. Frequently two wheel brake cars were sent over the west pavements undr the same conditions as the True Blue Oakland Travelers and the re- sultant skidding demonstrated just what occurs without that four wheel brakes, In all these exhibitions one or more officials of the cities in which the demonstrations were given—the police chiefs, fire chiefs, mayors or councilmen rode in the Oakland dem- onstrators and letters were volun- tarily given to the drivers commend- ing the new safety factor in automo- bile driving. Throughout the west the Oakland Travelers struck weeks of rainy the roads and | quirers who desired to know whether N CLERGYMAN'S AIM Appeal Is Made for Support ol International Court AR appeal 1o the 15,000 Christian mintsters of the country te help the Ameriean peoplc “seeure an intelligent understanding of the nature and work of the per- manent eourt of international justice” was issued today hy the federal coun- o7 eil of ehurches (hrough its commis- | sion on international justice and good will, The call was issued in connec- tlon with the ebservanee of world - YA new problem now eonfronis the nation and a new epportunity for | fore in the end they find more Pleas: | .o iice now comes to the churehes,” #aid the commission's statement, “Tho task Lefore us is to enable our mil- Wons of eitizens: “First, to secure an intelligent un- derstanding of the nature and work of the permanent court of Internation. &l justice, |00 Man Atiegea To Fave Lared | Young Girls to Wis Lonely Cabin Charleston, W.

K. on Appointment of New Am- bassador from This Country, before leaving for home next week on the acceptance of Frank B. Kel- logg as his successor. Although no official expression is available regarding the seclection of the former United States senator from | Minnesota to the ambassadorial post| a general endorsement of the appoint- | mnt is manifested among British offi- cials, who seem to view the record of his legal and judicial attainments and the public service he has rendered as especially qualifying him for Amer- | ica’s highest diplomatic post. When Ambassador Harvey leaves here Saturday he will be accompanied by Frederio R. Dolbeare, the first sec- retary of the embassy, who will re- main in Washington a few weeks. Post Whecler, counselor of the em- bassy, will be in charge until the ar- rival of the new ambassador.

The installation costs less than a fully piped furnace, and very much less than that of the hot-water or steam heating plants. The simplicity of this apparatus is manifest and its operation easily un- derstood. The Comet Furnace is thoroughly well made, and is not a cheap, slightly- built affair made only to sell; it is made to do a great amount of heating and to last as long as any other furnace under similar circumstances. ))C.
