Mr. W Hiatus ¦ iid that, speaking inthe | res'*uce of a Mnlx devoted to aca-demic education, he would not violatethe canons of good t: -to by cuttingacr* the cherished views of 1 1i> hear-er'. It was a far cry from these daysof tolerance to those of the Inquisitionand the tlames of Smith field. Thehope of the world's progress restedupon the enli diteiiinenl of the masses.Kniei 'on held that "we are relieved andgratified when wo have put our heartinto our work" and no man couldotherwise rejoice in his work. Ihespeaker purposed a general assaultupon the whole s\ stem of moderneducation, but would say. in advance,that the man who disbelieved in theeducation of the ma.-ses wa> ivt entitl-ed to exercise the privileges of a citizen ' f a free Republic.

When Kngland doubledher electorate, by added gut* of thefranchise. Robert I .owe declared "Wemust educate our ma-ters.” Despotismloked down upon the masses as dan-gerous; Demoeracv found in their en-lightenment tlu world’' best hope "fadvancement. “Our schools have beenregarded as the bulwarks of the Na-tion. Teachers are the makers of theNation the builders of the Republic.Make your calling your life work andget the best out of it but do not re-gard it from the commercial point ofview .
