THE STATE AND EDUCATION
By Hon. . B. McElroy, A- Ph-Bupt-
Public Instruction,
Salem Oregon-
All men in this country have a
ri"ht to be educated. This right is as
clear as the rijht - to enjoy liberty of
property and life m that country. It
is not at all conventional or limited,
but lias its source in the natuie of
human constitution in the ends man
should trim at in life, and in the duties
lie lias to perform. A child has a right
to gro.w physically, because God lias
made him so, and 'wcanse strength of
body is necessary for his own well be
ing and fcr the work be lias to da
So a child has a right to grow mentally
tor the same power has endowed luni
with that gift, and . IjocetMife W nm
lit 11 '
count oe a man m tne ingucst sense
without such growth. Is it worse to
starve th body or tho mindl Rather
let both bo fed. This doctrine cf uni
versal education is applicable to Ore
gon. This Government and State" ac
cord the light of suffrage to its citizens.
Should there suddeuly bo established
an educational standard for all who
would enjoy this right, there might be
more non-voters than we would sus
pect. Granting "the existence of a
Luge class of non-voters, such existence
would be inconsistent with the theory
of the republic, and, if not, it would
certainly bo fronght with so much dan
ger to democratic institutions that
whenever it is found in a republic, all
the energy and arts of statcsmon and
citizens should be exerted to remove it.
If all citizens fchould vote, all citizens
should bo educated. Where tire peo-
are sovereign, the people should
exercise the functions of sovereignty,
intelligently. In a republic, means
of education should be provided for
all, as it is a thinking, intelligent jco
pie that render republic secure. In
the history of republics, thus far, i(op
ular ignorance has been' the one cause
of their overthrow. On the other
hand then,-the universal education of
the people is more important than all
other interests in a republic. This
universal education of the people will
diminish crime among us; it will add
to our wealth, it will increase our
power, it will give us influence abroad
and promote peace and plenty at home,
it will advance us as a nation to a
higher plane of civilization than any
to which tho world has yet at tained,
and it will yield as its best fruit a race
of people who will cherish and uphold
forever the blessings of free govern
ment. : V ' ; -':.
Education can only bo generally dif
fused among a people by Leing made
try who set so small a value "on educa
tion, that they will not voluntarily pay
for it. Hence we have a system of
school taxation. Thei e are other large
classes who have not the means of pay
ing for it. Both these classes enjoy
all privileges granted by the State, and
the interests of tho State as well as
those of society demand their education.
This end can be approximately reached
by making education free, and can be
reached in no other way. Private
means have never vet made education
universal among a people. Again; it
requires all the mind-power of a nation
to do that nation's - thinking The
most perfect educational system ist
system that would evoke tho great
amount of this kind of power, and di
rect it to the best ends. The groat
purpose of education will not be fully
subserved by educating a people up to
a certain point, and then ceasing to
make any provision for their further
progress. It is doubtlcts mcrj essential
to mankind in genera', so far, at least,
as material interest are concerned,
to be acquainted with the common
branches of knowledge, than to bo
versed in tho higher branches; and, in
providing a system of instruction for a
state, this fact should not be lost sight
of. lint no stale can do its whole
duty tosits people or itself, until it has
made provision for generously encour
aging liberal learning. A country
situated and governed like ours, wants
among its people something more than
superficial knowledge; it wants an ed
ucation that imparls solidity, strength.
refinement, and presents as its ljest
fruit tho highest tvpe of well-balanced,
self-balanced- men and women. It
wants an education that reaches down
to the lowest and up to the highest.
bvery state, then, should encourage
the establishment of a sufficient num
ber of Colleges, - Universities, and
XT 1 " L I 1 . 1 . ,
iiui uiiu 0C111MJI8, ami not on:y tnese,
but every city, town, village, and dis
trict should have its free school free
alike lo rich and poor. And where
these cannotbe established, there ought
to be established Academics and Semi
naries, recognized and aided by the
State when conforming to the condi
tions the State might impose. All in
stitutions of learning in a state should
be incorporated into a system with
mutual relations and interests, and
wise supervision. Those which now
exist could notinany way be interfered
with in respect to their vested rights
chartered privileges, or denominational
differences and preferences; but the
Stat cannot .and should not under
take to free itself wholly from respon
sibility concerning them. .The people
of every state need the education fur
nished by Colleges, Academies, High
Schools, and Cemmon Schools, and all
these agencies should work in harmony
for a common end. It is a narrow
view of our public educational systems
to hold that they are intended to pro
vide an education for those only who
have not the means of educating them
selves. The view broadens greatly,
when it is held to be the design of such
systems to educate all, rich and poor,
up to the point which i3 necessary to
enable them to discharge the ordinary
duties of citizens and matters of busi
ness. Bat that view can only be
called comprehensive which takes in

enterprising boy who is striving to be

may secure a liberal education in these
institutions of learning. Beginning in
tho primary school, tha ambitions
youth continues his course through the
various grades until he reaches the
University or Colleges. Here, with
the advantage of more mature years
and thought, he is prepared to acquire
that higher edusation that imparts

and entering the walks of life as the
self-poised and woll-balanced man.
The way is open, then there is no
established rank, no line f aristocracy,
no obstacle worth naming, inded, in
this state, that, stands in tho way of
any boy or girl who is struggling up
wards. We have now, in part, a com-pi-ehensive
system of education and
this system must continue to be advo

making the wav ever onen and easv to
the children of tho rich and of the
poor. Has our country lost anything

of leaving the avenues to honor and

balanced by universal education and

just recited are weighty nough, and,
wnnesutliciently grave to demand the
attention of rulers and statesmen, it
seems to us that some of their causes
are equally as dangerous, significant
and full of concern. And, first, the 4
stupid indifference in regard to our
schools and children is the great state,
national and educational bane against

THE PET LAMB.
A Tlit'JS STORY XT JEFJB1E. -
Many years ago agood man wrote these words,
"God tempers the wind to the shorn Iamb."
They are so kind and tender that many to
this day reverently believe they are the lan
guage of the Bible, But tenderness is not
always an outward token of God's love. The
Good Shepherd with diviner pity often teaches
us by pain. It was a piteous day in early
spirng when my father brought home a poor
little shivering lambkin. There had been a
lovely promise of springtime with blue skies
and soft airs: so that the trees had forgotten
their calendar arid a shimmer of green shone
on meadow and wood. Birds sang gaily and
golden cowslips nodded among their glossy
green leaves by the brook-side.
But now winter seemed come again with
pitiless rain and sleet. The chilled buds
shrank back affrighted, and the birds flew
swiftly away beyond the border of thetorm.
Horses and cows returned- to winter quar
ters and the rejoicing cakle of hens was
hushed while they huddled disconsolately in
corners. The sheep still lingered in the field,
but with the first lull
sought them and found in a lonely spot a lamb
i.j na muu. inc storm
had driven the flock into the shelter of the
wood, but this htlle weakling unable to follow,
lay in the pelting rain calling with weak cry
for pity and help. But pity and help were
near, and the little creature was borne in care
ful arms to the house. There in the warm
kitchen it rested. fI with milt- -in.1 l
