In the severe school of experience they were taught endurance, and in it all, they became acquainted with their own moral, intellectual and physical possi bilities. There is nothing which in so short a time develops and broadens men as travel. These men traveled thous ands of miles on the weary march by the dusty road or the pike, by railroad, by river, on steamboats or by ships on the sea. Men who would have never gone from their own county or state traveled over a dozen states, saw many ol the great cities, and had an oppurta- oration day in this city. It is article well worth reading, for it gives a deai insight into the eflVcts the late war had on developing the wondeiful educational system of this country and of its work In raising the plune of intel ligence among the masses, The immediate conditions which made the late war necessary was an at- I tempt on the federal side to enforce obe- dience U the laws of the nation -against 'those who forced to dihrupt it, UKn ttie other.

The study of this hour Is to determine what effect the war of the rebellion has had, through these men, directly and indirectly, in fostering gen eral education. The war of the rebel lion as has been said was the outgrow th of the institution of slavery and its at tempted extension. To have led to war, there must have been earnest convictions & I.At KAHAH AIIHTItACT A TltfhT :0. Ahairsrla nf (Markamsa rmintjr property a apeo- laliy. OiKut work, rcaaoiialilu rliariii'a.

For fifty years the de- tories were proclaimed w ith tlianks to CJod, for his mercies equally devout, i with those which Cromwell expressed 'during the Knglisb revolution. The I nightly prayer meetings just in front of Jour lines at Atlanta in August, 1804, to ! the listening federal soldier, showed as ' much fervor and true Christian devotion 1 as could have been exhibited in the ied ;eral camp. While the eople of the , north and south were divided on the ' rightfulness of human slavery, on all other great moral and religious, truths I were practically united.

Men who never would have written a letter be came expert co-respondents, camp life, histories of army movements, descrip tions of the country, its peaple, and its development were all fitting subjects for easy composition. Letters to wives and loved ones afforded an opportunity for grace ana beauty in style, while the de scriptions of great campaigns and bloody battln gave the highest opportnnity for grace and beauty in style, while the de scriptions of great campaigns and bloody battles gave the highest oppor tunity for the grand and sublime.

But Ihe picture which he sees, of buttle and of the contestants on the bat tlefield are wholly different from that of the average non-combatant. The men who cieated this carnage were not ideal murderers; I hey were not desperadoes, cut-throats and robbers. They did not fight in anger, there wa9 little of malice or hatred, it was not a personal dispute, it was almost wholly non-personal; it was the nation on the one side attempt ing to enforce obedience to law and or der, against a brave but a misguided and a rebellious people. The early volunteer armies were com posed chiefly of the very best elements of society men, the mass of whom had led upright and virtuous lives at home men, who were neither profane, licen- ine oameneiu, and we looked upon Kiiaru uuiy anu camp reductions as ar bitrary and unnecessary. We did not then know that the military drill was necessary in order to educate us to acts of prompt and instantaneous obedience that the right salute was to train us to recognize and to respect au thority that the camp restrictions were necessary in order to teach us submis sion to rigtiiiui authority a well as to restrain the weak from temptations and the bad from immoral practices that the long nights upon picket duty tested out courage and self-reliance, and strengthened our fidelity. We recog nixed the fact that the performance of police duty, the cleansing of the whole camp was necessary, but we did not re alize that the habit then so thoroughly instilled would be carried into civil life that it would end in cleanlier homes and cities; that it would educate men as to the causes of diseases ; that as a result fice.

It was this class of men who constituted the mass ol that great army, and this is especially true ot Ihe part that did the actual fight ing on both sides. It Is true that liars, and thieves, and cowards, and cut throats entered the army; but these never remained long in the presence of imminent danger, nor could they with stand real and true discipline they us ually formed the contingent in Ihe rear and thus unfortunately have given non combatants of the north, distorted ideas of that patriotic army which saved the nation. The men who composed the mass of the army were honest, upright and virtuous; men who would disdain to do a mean thing; men who had wives and sweethearts at home whom they loved and respected, and for w hom they would have sucritlced their own lives nil her than have brought disgrace upon these loved ones by acts of cowardice or brutality. Nor were these men drunk ards, in fact, they used less of liquor than if they had been at homo. The grand stales of Kansas, and Iowa, and the Dakota's and the states west of the Mississippi, have been peopled chiefly by the families of those gallant men who were lortunnto enough to escape the leaden hail of the battlefield. These men have helped to make prohibition slates and are ever ready to enforce the law. They are the men who in Wyo ming, Montana and Kansas have either partially or wholly remov.d women from the enthralldom of a civilization, which is fast passing away. They are willing to accord her equal righto before the law equal suffrage and equal rights preventive medicine in eyery state that would tend to the draining and reclaim ing of swamp lands, and in improving the sewerage of towns and cities. That the three years of training in the moral code of the army strengthened and Broadened every man is not a myth, it is real. No class of men is today more loyal to duty than the soldier; none more prompt; none who have a higher regard for rightful authority ; none more obedient and law abiding as citizens. When the great army was about to be disbanded in 1804, non-combatants with distorted views of army life, and without a knowledge of the effects of discipline and the education which these men had received, trembled for the safety of the nation. But 1,000,000 men returned to ciyil life without creating a jar to the state. They returned to civil life the lovets of law and order. They returned strong, self-reliant men. They returned broader, more charitable men, men ready to do more for their fallen and stricken foes than any other class. They had been developed and educated in the great business world by contact with men, and when they were set free they gave an impulse to the business industries of this country such as it had never before seen. The average age of the men who entered the service did not exceed 22 years. They came from the farm, the mechanic's bench, from the Btore and shop, from every profes sion, from the school room, the college and the university. They were alike in a lack of acquaintance with the world or a knowledge of their own possibilities. They were brought from the restraint of ( parental authority to be taught under the rank and file, intelligence was nec essarily made the chief factor for Ihe se lection. Noncommissioned officers were selected on account of their intelli gence, culture and fidelity, than be cause of their superior courage. Men were detailed as clerks in the quarter master's and commissary department, and received extra pay for their services because of their ability as accountants. Upon the organization of companies men were frequently chosen as line officers on account of their popularity and without reference to their education or fitness for command. Such men through public sentiment were either forced to resign or were passed bv, whe i promotions were to be made. The irresponsible, or in competent favorite, who secured a com mission, met with universal condemna tion from rank and file. It was a no ticeable fact to every soldier, other things being equal, that the best edu cated lieutenants became captains; that the best educated captains became ma jors, and tbe most brilliant colonels be came generals. It was soon discovered that education gave men rank and place. provided t.'iey were endowed with cour age and fidelity. These tacts stimu lated every young man who had ca pacity and ambition, to educate him self as soon as he returned to civil life. Hence, after the war closed the prepa- torv schools all over the north werw crowded with soldiers and our colleges and universities continued to graduate them from their halls as late as 1873. The education of these men was not a mistake. Thev had already attained a practical knowledge of the world before entering the college and hence after graduation entered upon their life work with a vigor and a power which gave them prestige, end today such men are the leaders in every department of the business and professional world. Hence, I repeat, that the methods upon which promotions were made inspired every soldier with a desire for an education. The stimulation which the war gave to reading has never been equaled in any period of human history. The private who had been in the service for three years was thoroughly intelligent upon what was going on in every department, east, west, central or southern. He was a student of the daily papers, and from his knowledge ef military strategy could divine the next movement to be made upon the checker board. Tha daily paper found purchasers in every company, and every item of army news, the details and description of campaigns, as well as the discussions in congress on questions of the highest interest to the Continued on eighth page.
