About 500 school children inarching along tbc sidewalk and into the Opera House, grade by grade, and school by school, made an im* preaslve spectacle. These with the large audience gathered filled the hall. The program already pub lished was observed as the order of exercises. In his brief address Prof. Wray said: The only treasures you have that are worth more than their weight In gold are these boys snd girls before me, whose training you have com mitted to others. More meetings like this would inspire us all. It is the duty of every parent to educate bia children, lu this great work we should all be as a Band of brothers, working and aspiring together. We want your help and sympathy in our efforts to point and lead your children to higher life. Let me mention some ways in which you can help. 1. A lady gave us an excel lent steel engraving of Washing ton which sne had in her home. It was not orach to her, it meant mneb to ns and was a token of her lively interest in the school. By the help of these snd the teachers our school rooms have ifccu ucauuacu. 2. Yon have buildings that are a credit to the town. We want to beautify the grounds. Give ns your surplus plants and flowers and help os to make Oakland Heights a garden spot of beauty. 3. Do what you can to get and to keep all the children in school. Tnls is a great problem at the mill schools. Do you know that in one seasion 135 at these schools have moved oat ? There are some who do not send. My teachers say "1 have just been begging the parents to send.” It is our ambition not to turn pupils away but to draw them in and lead them higher. Help ns and the work will go on; it most not fail. Wasting no time in intro ductory remarks, Dr. G. H. Dctwiler entered quickly upon his subject. Master of a fluent and fascinating style. Dr. Dct wilcr was easy, earnest, thought ful and eloquent. The speaker viewed popular education as a revolutionary force. Passing with a few masterly strokes over the conditions of recon struction days, he brought his hearers face to face with the new order of things—the oncoming rush of industrial life, of rail road*, factories, spindles, looms, and the new problems this rush ing life brings with it, the greatest of which is before os at this hour—the education and culture of a homogeneous people. What does this great educa tional revival mean? I want to say two things for you to think out for yourselves. <1) It means something for the politician. People are going to think for themselves. Ring rule and bossism are at an end. Leadership will be more difficult. Politicians and caucus managers, take notice, if yon do not want your planks and platforms knocked awry, set yourselves in array against this educational revival. U) it means something for the church. The power of dictation and dogma will be de feated. Men will not ait iu chnrch and accept onr creed be cause they are of onr sect. We most give a reason for it or get off thia platform and set ourselves in array against this educational revival, for they will read the Bible and demand an in terpretation according to reason and conscience. Something else. Too much has been said about onr ignor ance; it can’t be helped by re proach. This revival is not of yesterday; It was born long ago. It was brought not by politicians nor ministers, nor conflict of church and state schools. Wheth er we will it or not we are to be a democracy, wise or unwise as the people ore wise or unwise and pure or Impure as the peo ple are pure or impure. It means the rule of the people: whether that role be of law and order or of the mob depends on whether yon strike reason and con science from the education of the people. We are all one together; co-op eration is the watchword of tfia hour. We can eliminate sect and cratd bat not Ood sod His book. [Amen! Amen!] An in telligent people with an open Bible will not go astray. (Amen I Amen f]. The material aide of thia edu cational question tends to a sol idarity of tho people. Let politi cians train themselves in intelli geace and respectability. Let ministers acknowledge the creed of a Chriat-lika civilisation. It -i-' needs no rc-tnaking. lengthen the cords sad strengthen the stakes of an applied Christianity. At the conclusion of this ad dress, of which the above it the barest outline, Dr. Detwiler was loudly applauded, and after the close of the exercises he was surrounded by those eager to shake his hand and exchange greetings in friendship’s name. Superintendent Wray an nounced that the honor roll would be published in the papers and we are pleased to give it below. BOHOt IQtL. Oaataala OnM School*. CENTRAL SCHOOL. nasT orado—Mrs. Prichard.
