Udlce in Democrat Building, oast side of Second Street—ground floor, COLUMBUS DAY, OCT. 12. Message to the Public Schools of America. To the echolars of the public school! of the United States the executive committee of the Columbian public school celebration tends the following message: Ti.e uth of October, 1892, the 400'h anniversary of the discovery of America, ought to be observed every * here in America. The day will be marked in Chicago by the dedication of the Columbian export tion grounds. The dav also may be tig nalixed in every town and village in the republic by a local celebration of which th- public school is the center. The ppblic schools of the republic will form the most fitting centers for all these local celebrations. A national | üblic school observance simultaneous with the Chicago exercises will awaken a popular interest in the coining exposition. Far more important is the fact that the public schools has the right to occupy the most prominent place in the celebration. The public school is the one characteristic institution which link all the neighborhoods together, and can :hu» furnish a common bond for a national celebration, The pub lie school is the ripe fruit of the (our centuries of American ci llization. The public school of to-day sways the hundred years to come. HOW IT CAME ABOUT. ■ ■ - The first approval of this suggestion came from the public school scholars themselves. When the plan was first proposed by The Youth’s Companion, JanuKory, 1891, thousands of letters were re ceived, testifying to the enthusiasm with which the scholars responded. The world’s congress auxiliary of the Columbian exposition then took up the proposal, calling upon all the people of the republif to observe the day in their own localities, and suggesting that the public schools be everywhere the centers of the ce’ebration. The superintendents of education were the next to recognize the fitness of giving to the public schools the first place in this I Columbian anniversary. At their nation>l convention in Brooklyn in February, •892, they took charge of the movement. APPEAL TO THE SCHOLARS. This executive committee now appeals to the scholars themselves to be the first to move. It is for you, scholars of the American public schools, to arouse a sentiment in your schools and in your neigh - borhoods for this grand way of celebrating the finding of America. Educators and teachers will meet you from their side. But it is for you to begin. There are 13,000,000 now in the public schools. You have a chance to conduct a movement which will have a place in history, and wiil strengthen the republic | through the coming century. WHAT TO DO. The first thing to do is to determine, when you read this message, that you will do all you can to induce your school to ■ enter the celebration. Then show this I message to your teachers; every patriotic teacher will be glad to help you if you ■ show yourselves in earnest. Take the message to the school committee and the | superintendent—their consent and aid are I indispensable. I After you secure the support of all of ■ 1 these, then kt the school vote that it will I' enter tlie celebration. I a The next thing after this public vote B will be the appointment of a strong com- ■ mittee made up jointly from citizens, B scholars and teachers to take charge* It The committee should in all cases consist | of those most in earnest, so that the work ■ may not be checked by any possible change I of teachers during the summer. |- ( THE PROGRAM. | ‘ A program of exercises will be furnished ■ by the executive committee. It will be ■ simple and adapted to any school, yet so r arranged that more elaborate exercises may be added wherever desired. The j aim of this official program will be that I » certain leading exercises may be the same Bi in every school in the republic, and that B at least in one feature the Chicago pro ■ gram and the school program may be ■ ’ identical. -s’ In due time this executive committee ■ ' will make fuither suggestions. H THE LOCAL COMMITTEE. ■ The duty of your committee will first fl be to interest the citizens and to prepare H>. „ -‘the school. Procesfl’ons mav be arranged. liP-T. Tbe veterans, both north and south, will gladly be escorts for the schools. The ■ other military, civic and religious organiK rations of each town will lend their aid if || they see that the schools are determined j / . that the celebration shall be worthy of ■v the day. The local press will be the most' B valuable of all supports, On October 12th the stars and stripes ■ should be floating from every school house ■ in the republ’c. fA-. It is the hope of the friends of common ■

school educa'lon,that not one public school in the United States will allow itself to be left oat in this most - memorable celebra tion. Our Dead Heroes Burled Near Decatur.

The Bride Perplexed. A youth whose appearance would Indicate that he camo from agricultural district! celebrated Memorial Da- by getting : married. After the ceremony he started 1 wit-i his bride for thU ilty, evidently intent on taking her to the circui on their wedding trip. Arriving In town thev proceeded to the Hotel, where the newly made benedict tegz'cred as follows: “Gensler C. Ji Waterbury,” and on the next line he registered his wife ns Mn. Gender C. J Waterbury.” The clerk -seeing that the couple were not registered as man arid wife, presumed that they wished separate rooms, and call ing a bellboy assigned the Isdy to room 5 and Gensier to room 8. Two bashful to tell the clerk of his mistake the bridegroom entered the room as signed to him and awaited developments. His bride did likewise. Each was waiting for the other to have matters straightened. The bride got lonesome after nearly an hour’s waiting and proceeded to the office. Arriving there she handed the clerk her marriage certificated, and it finally dawned upon him that it was Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Gensler who had registered earlier in the evening. With apologies he rectified his mis'ake. Good Looks. Good looks are m ire than skin deep, depending upon a healthy condition of all the vital organs.

The recent Junior debate at Wellesly College was on the subject: “The extinction of the saloon would do more for political reform than any other agency." A society for the prevention of curelty to children In a New England city, leports that of 19s children, whom it had aided, 103 had intemperate fathers and 85 had drunken mothers. The Woman’s Temperance Hospital opened iu 1886, on the south side in Chicago, was removed to greatly improved quarters m the handsome hospital building outside Lincoln Park, on June 2d. The Society of Political Study, a woman's club of New York, took up these subjects this year: “Our Present Taxation Law,’ “The Negro Question,” Public Schools,’ "History of the Politicsl Parties,” “The Keely Cure," and “Tenement Houses,'. Mr. Gladstone in a recent forcible speech on the Irish bill declared that there could be “no inequality without degradation.” The English women whom he wishes to keep in a state pf political in r quality will most likely quote this expression ottener than he cares to hear it in coming political campaigns. Mountain Lake Park, Maryland, W. C. T. U. School of Methods, will be in session from July 13th to 17th, conducted by Mrs. Caroline B.

C. Cooly (Jennie June), Mrs. Kate Fannett Woods and Mrs. Jacob Crop’ey.

During last week we chanced to to overhear a remark the truth of which may be doubtful. It was to the effect that a certain old lady of this city who had become so infatuated with the apparent pleasures of riding on the “merry-go-round’ that she resolved to have a ride. Not being flush with money she at once varified the Old saying that “neces ity is the mother of invention" by procuring a few old rags apj selling them for the required amount. Now, whether this is true or not, we are not prepared to say. We only hope that it is false but nevertheless am usements find ready patronage when the necessaries of life go unpaid for. The next question is, what are we going to do about its Os course this is a free country, but when such people are allowed to care for a family of children we need not be surprised if they grow up In ignorance void ofthe true ideas of manhood or womanhood. The offspring *of such parents become a burden to society and a dead drawback to advancement. There is one remedy. Education tends to refine, ennoable and purify. It is out of the question to tay that such people suffer when the pangs of hunger are appeased and the body warm. Then by a process of Culture the feelings can be refined and ot course the sensibility becomes more acute, then when people reach this stage of life .0

CHEATING HORSE BykHXETS Nearly every pattern of 7a Horse Blanket is imitated in color and style. Inmost cases the imitation looks jurt as good as the genuine, but it hasn't the warp threads, and so lacks strength,and while it sells for only a little less than the genuine it isn’t worth one-half as much. The fact that Horse Blankets are copied is strong evidence that they arc THE STANDARD, and every buyer should see that the 7k trade mark is sewed on the inside of the Blanket.
