ADDRESSES
That ablest of Journalists and most
accomplished mail, Charles A. Dana,
has been telling the students of Cor
nell University about newspajier
making as it has been, as it is and as
it will be. Beginning his address by
stating that every age produces the
leaden needed for its development,
Mr. Dana pointed to the man of
wealth as the special benefactors of
our generation. Think of the world j
without Edison, and what darknessj
reigns! Contemplate our country
without the splendid endowments of
Exra Cornell and Henry W. Sage,
and what a lests to civilization I UN
not the fashion to say a good word
for millionaires, and more' the credit
to Mr. Dana that in a practical ad
dress he presented their u-m. But
for the Vanderbilt the new Columbia
College would be sadly embarrassed,
and New York's Coller cf Teachers
would not exist. There are born ac-1
cumulators as there are born spend
thrifts, and when those accumulator i
share their wealth with the state, Mr.
Dana is right in calling them
benefactors. j
After enumerating the different
kinds of brains that make up a news
paper, Mr. Dana added that, while'
all require a literary and scientific j
education, f Jl are equally in need of a
bdness edacatioa. In fact, said he, i
"I have always felt I mention the I
cLrcunistacoesj merely as an illustra
tion that the sis yean I worked inj
a dry goods store In Bull al o as a boy,
have bren worth to int more a a
tnatlt-r nf ir icticitl t iliif.ititui tlm ii
nomi'tithrr yt'iiri p:t-ii'l fl'wlieit' in
other pursuit. It Is very ilc-irnhle,
IndenJ, that the iicwspHtfr tnttn,
who liu to ili-al with th uttual uf
falrs of this world, houItl know them,
and should know tlit-ni jK-rsnnally.
And it is vt-ry tlt-siruble, nlto, that lio
slioulil have that tnotvltNljrt' of hu
nmn nnturo wliit ti cannot Ik) paints.!
so well, so fur as my oxporii'in-e (foi-s,
as in a wholesale and retail bu-4ness
estalili.shmcnt."
It ii this hlisenceof business knowl
otlj,'ethat I't-arfully Imnaieaps univers
ity. bred men, anil, until a remedy is
found, doubts us to the wisdom of
wlmt iscullt'd a liberal education will
prevail in iimny a ptirent's mind.
I Hut delighted that Mr. Danu
lukts a hopeful view of the newt
paper of the future. As "an old
fashioned expert" he U'lieves that
the dreadful "cuts," eailcd illustra
tions, Unit defile the daily press are u
passino fashion, und quoted Mr.
Whitehtw Iteitl as saying that tlrese
"pielun s'' add nothmo; to liie pur
pose of a newspnjier, which Is to eou
vey ititellij-enee und enlighten
thought. Fancy . those "devil-to-pay"
sketches of tire, Hood and fam
ine adding to Ui. infill ! Think of
I host? Lydiu l'liiklinm likenes.ss tif
eminent women convevintj: iutelli-
tjence of the malitrncil oriuinals!
The invariable, law of the news
itiMT is lo lie intereslinji, and Mr.
Dana made a .strong point of this vi
tal fact.
"Suppose you tell all the truths ol
science in a way that bores the
reader; what is the tfood'' The
truths don't stay in mind, and no
bmly thinks any better of you I'-eause-iou
have told him the truth
tediously. The telling must he
vivid ami animulin. The reporter
must give his story In such a way
that you know he feels its qualities
and eveiits.and is interested in them."
"There's w isdom for you, chunks
of it." When reporters want a
model they can j;o to Charles Dickens,
who, at the Hue of nineteen, stood at
the head of ninety parliamentary re.
porters. lie was kin"; of them all.
In coucludino; bis valuable address,
Mr. Dana paid a deserved tribute to
a free pns, not yet jsutliciently ap
preciated in this country. In Mr.
Dana's Judgment "llm highest func
tion of the press is that 'at last it
forms tlm filial barrier which stands
between the people tind ttny jjross
wrong that may be attempted by a
dominant party or by a ruling public
favorite. If such a circumstance
should ever happen, and (1ml grant
that it may not, the mission of the
press, lifting its voice in defence of
the constitution and in defence of the
spirit of liberty, will be appreciated
as the defender of the public welfare,
of the constitution und of liberty
itself."
I hear much railing against what is
called "a venal pre.-s." I set no sup.
port on the part of these virtuous
railer of organs that are without fear I
anil without reproach.
Infallibility is not a claim that Mr.

it was made of silver and not of gold,
aud that when the commercial value

this thing ran right along without

when somebody committed a great

Is it not safe to refuse what an
enemy longs for in order to strength
en his ow n po-ition? I love England;
1 recognize in her the greatest nation
on earth; I appreciate her marvelous
powers of colonization. We are her
most stupendous achievement iu this
respect, hut while we have outstripped
our mother in size we are still her
inferior iu wealth and commercial
wisdom.
Having taken possession of every
bit of continent and every island she
can lay her hands on, England now
wants to lease Neckar Island from
the Hawaiian government. There
are treaty obligations making this
lease impossible without the assent of
tht; United States, aud we, the public,
are now assisting at a strange sptv
tacle. We behold our chief executive
urging congress to cripple the power
if tho United States iu tho Pacific
ocean by consenting to what Eng
land would fight against were posi
tions reversed.
Iu his communication to the sen
ate, the president states that the Ha
waiian government desires the con
summation of this lease. It is na
tural that those inlands of the Pacific j
should want cable communication
with the world, but what pruccdes
their desire to lease an uninhabited
island to our only dangerous rival?
The fact that this) government has
U-en stupid enough not to carry out
the intention of a bill thut passed the
senate several years ago to liberully
subsidize just such a project as Eng-
laud shrewdly contemplates. Thanks
to the Hsiniue economy of watch dog
I the treasury, the house refused to
concur with the senate, but hud
ullii'ient wisdom to arrange for a
survey of a route lor tho contem
plated cable, and dts-p-sca soundings
were taken lictwcen Monterey Bay
and Hauolulu. Two years ago thi
niiHrtaiit matter was called up in
congress when Hawaii pleaded for
annexation. She was refused, and
has no one to thank but herself for
her indcM"ndence.
Would congress consent to the
proposed lease were Hawaii a part of
the Union. As annexation may yet
take place, should not such a possi
bility tleter legislators from commit
ting a folly which they may bitterly
retent?
Setting aside all thought of annex
ation, is not such a lease detri
mental to American interest In the
orient? This fact should make con
gress pause. The president's advice
is not the jieople's, as can easily la"
learned by thoso who fisd the public

OlTsIBE THE Til Kit K'.
BY M ill f I.Alt K.
I believe every teacher has found
that a great deal of work lies outside
of the "Headin', Ititiu' and Kitli-
metic."
It Is not simply giving instruc
tion in these studies that makes tlio
successful teacher, but it is the
manner in which we uicct the hun
dred and one little things that crowd
themselves into our work every day.
Each day brings its pleasures and its
troubles. If we always have a
supply of "tact" ready to our on
every rough place, wo find we have
smooth sailing and calm weather,
but we sometimes tts-1 that wo are at
our "wits end."
When we sit before our lire
meditating, and think of the
many things that we have to
do, and the numerous things that
that are expected of us, wo either
become very ambitious and go to
our work with renewed energies,
or else we feel like giving up entirely.
Often il is not the great things that
worry us most, but the little things.
l-'ir-it, let us consider the child's
environment: The home and tho
school make up the child's life.
Where the home leaves its duty to
children, the school must begin. For
many children the home is a protec
tion from evil. It hits uu utmos here
of culture, love, comfort, security, und
enjoyment are the attributes.
Someclnldreii, by right of heritage,
are vigorous in mind und body; tin y
tall heir to good manners and to no
bility of character their natural en
dowments are blessings.
To teach the three H's and to keep
the school life on a level with the
home life is all we need to seek to do
for these.
If we could Just have a school of
that class of children how different
our school would he, but we must
take what the public sends, aud it
sends with these I have just men
tioned, the maimed, the sick, tho
stupid, the disols-dienl, the lu.y, the
morose, the rude and the vicious, and
like St. Paul, "We must bo till things
to all of these." Can we do anything
fur these? Yes ; if we are making a
success of our profession we can help
all. We must live upon tho
very summit of our intellectual
capabilities, that we may lead
the stupid child tn do his
Ix-st. The most skilful Instructor
cannot create mind, but he can foster
mind growth until tho most unprom
ising will advance. I believe that it
is worth our while to make the at
tempt, and we all find that our work
for this class lies outside of the three
It's. If the greatest artist should
seek to improve his master-piece, ho
would not change it iu conception,
hut in detail; the widening of uu
angle, the deepening of a curve, pal
ing by a tint the colors here, giving
a deeper shallow there, and the whole
picture would be finer and better. If
the noblest man among us could go
back and make tart ter a good life, ho
would not change thegreat principles
that had con t roll it 1 him, but he
would root out of Ids character small
traits that niur it. As we rellis-t on
this line of thought It seems to me
that the success of tho teacher aud
pupil des nd much upon tin; teach
ing outside the thris; It's, and no
where more, isrhaps, than in the
little things that make up Ihe every
day work in tho school rim.
What are they ? I will mention
but one or two, but they may sug
gest others to yon. I Is'heve one to
be a pleasant "flood Mjrning" to
every pupil, even the culprit of yes
terday, lln may not give tint oppor
tunity for a morning greeting at
first, but presently all learn to ex
pect and ppprccii.te it. It is a little
thing, but It gisst fur toward estab
lishing: a habit of politeness, to
ward diss'lling bashful ne-s, and
overeoming a sullen dipt-ition or
tsmri-h manners. A song will help
to make a bright day; children Invi
to sing, and a song or plea-ing ex
ercise goes far toward making a suc
cessful day. In the nmr ling exer
cise the mind is cheered and in
spired for the day's race. The wlmlo
mutter of school discipline lies out
side of the thris-: I'.'s.
School room order eon-i-ts-o much
in little things that if they art! well
looked after, school government can
almost take can; of it -elf.
How much confusion might be
avoided if cich pupil ha I l-..is
his own j-g In the cloak rom, I. is

own (sent at recitation. If it wero
one "rsons' businc-s to distribute
erasers, another the crayons, te.
But the tenehor's own blva rou-t
Iss the guide in the little things.
L'tst of all, I Is-lievea kind "tJood
night" lo ls as imtortant a a cour
teous "flood morning." A smile anil
a "(irsl nighl" from my pupi s make
me les-l ls-tter it sss-tiis to drive the
cares of the day from my mini). If
phis dix-s so much fi.r me. it, n-r'aiiily

times the pleasant -mile at di-missl
