FRIDAY. - - - - J an . 21 1902. NO ROOM FOR KICK ( c o n t r ib u t e d ) I EDUCATION AND REPUBLIC THE “How many of our colonists” asked a speaker at the recent meet­ ing of the New York Mothers’ Club “could read and write when they had seuce enough to protest against England?” And no voice was raised to repel this unwarranted imputation of illiteracy against the fathers and mothers of the Republic. No American should forget that this has always been a reading and writing nation and that education has made it what it is. Our Dutch colonist came from Europe’s most cultured race and at once opened schools in New Amsterdam. The Sweeds in New Jersey, had shared the knowledge which was the birth­ right of evrey Swedish child in the seventeeth century. Of 319 “Scotch- Iiish” immigrants in 1698, 306 signed their names. The Quakers of Pennsylvania, the Puritans, the Swiss, the Huguenots, would not have dreamed of freedom and have left Europe to seek it if they had not been educated. In 1665 every town in Massachusetts had its school. One of the first acts of the new nation of public land to sup­ port free schools, aud under that and later acts lands exceeding in area all Great Britain and Ireland have been so used to make education universal. The leaders of oar Revolution were perhaps the most remarkable grouj) of men who ever combined culture and elopuence with courage common sonse. But there would have been no people for them to lead if the rudest cabins in the wilderness had no shelled men who could read by rushlight or flicker­ ing pine torch of freedom, aud re­ solve that they would win it for themselves and their children's children forever. The people of Cottage Grove very wisely d added, upon second thought, to encourage our public schools by levying an extra tax for school purposes. Cf course there are btill a few kickers left. I t is always so, though there is little grounds for a kick. One of the most enticing features of our little city to new coiners is the tact our indebtedness, as a city, is small and our taxes light in comparison with other towns. Take Albany for instance—A town of lest than twice our population,—yot its indebted­ ness according to the last recorders report is upwards of $111,000. And in addition to the fact that it sup ports a College the school district is in debt $2 1,000. T hat the Grove is marching close upon the heels of C hildren Especially Liable.
