It would have been treason then to have'tau'ght that state policies should look tb home and provide for the: upbuilding of pleasant homes everywhere.. ' It is not to be wondered at that our race when it began to move by a cdncipusiiess of the innate rights of man should re- Sent sddh teachings..1 When our race grasped by unerring intu tion the great social truth, that home, the family is the basis u ait of state and. seeing that' little o r nothing was taught in the books offered. . them to flog their con tents' into their children; that would 'render them a particle more .capable of .supporting a home they turned with a com mendable dignity from the class ic trash and styled it "book ls.-nin," meaning thereby that it had no practical value in the hdmes of industrious Iree men and home builders. .This refusal, on the part of our people to accept the curicu lu'm, borrowed ! from perished nations, for their children is the grandest fact in the history of our race. It set the educated class to thinking and it was not long in appreciating the justioe of the 'peoples critiosm and 11 was not long in providing a course of studies appropriate to the wants and a fosterer of the hopes of a' patriotic people, Briefly it can now be said that the American common school is today a helpful agency in preparing the young of both sexes to perform any and all duties oflife.' It helps make good farmers, mechanic laborers in any calling and thus increnses their capaci'y to make and main tain better homes than they could without the ideas and faots taught in the schoolroom. Siuce our schools have become sucn an efficient factor' In-fatnity pro- P-reas and therefore nationul ereatness.
