COMPULSORY EDUCATION Arthur Diggs, of the Douglass High School, Columbia Mo., Discusses Its Relationship to Our Racial and National Life, in His Graduating Oration, on May, 31st. That country alone is happy whose people are intelligent, virtuous and busy. The aim of every government should be to make its people happy, prosperous and powerful. The American government perhaps the best government the world has seen thus far, truly seeks to secure to each member of society his fullest enjoyment of all the good of society. The surest security any people may have for all that is good is broad learning. Not only that but an intelligent citizenship is absolutely necessary to every free government. In the beginning of the government this idea was all important. It entered the very life of the constitution. Let us read the preamble: "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for common defense, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America." A perfect union can only exist among an intelligent people. Nowwhere does history show that justice has been secured by ignorance, but the opposite is true. Harmony and tranquility is the home of trained and virtuous people. No others can enjoy such blessings. Does anyone believe the general welfare can be promoted by ignorance? Did ignorance ever secure that blessing to anybody, or to any people? Yet our government was formed to confer these very blessings upon each of its citizen. It is plain that all those great principles set forth in the preamble are the inheritance, the privilege and enjoyments of the educated, the cultured, the refined. The very government itself is secure only in these qualities of her citizens, therefore the government should provide means whereby each child should be so trained that he enters in the body politic, capable of not only enjoying, but suited to improve them, defend them and transmit them unimpaired to others. Not only should the government provide these means but has a right to compel proper use of these means. By compelling proper use of all educational privileges is another way of protecting society from the vicious. The purposes of an education $2. the safest stove made. the best vapor stove made. at place in town, See H BLAIR, STREET. EDUCATION. Mass High School, Columbia relationship to Our Racial in His Graduating May, 31st. is to prepare one for the right living and one's powers are increased in proportion as he becomes more acuqainted with the things that make acivilized people or the elements which constitute our great country. Three hundred years ago the trained Englishmen came to this country and with his education has made this great and powerful nation. Booker T Washington, though a Nego, education makes him one of the foremost men of the world. Blessings everywhere await him. With an educated citizenship the greatest blessings of the age will flow around us. Great good will be brought to all. If each parent sends his children to school properly law-abiding citizens will greet von everywhere. Note the great part education played in the making of the lives of the Greeksand Romans. Every man was educated. At Sparta, for military service, at Athens for complete manhood. This general education made them a powerful race. We have many notable men of influence such as Page, Vernon, Scruggs, Yates and Miller. These with many others have done much for the education of the Negro yonths, which is a blessing not only to the man but to humanity. If many others will follow the path they have so eagerly trodden, this great race problem will be solved. Many years ago the Indians inhabited this country rich in all the elements of a great people and a country but he got nothing of it. Ignorance led to his eternal undoing. Look back many years ago. You see the dark cloud of slavery hanging over our country. The Negro was then bound in chains and lashed with the whip of a cruel master, without any hope, desire or ambition. No intelligent people can be so enslaved. Ignorance of the law of health and wealth leads everywhere to misfortune. It is at this moment sapping the life of the race. An old English writer has said: "It is better for a boy to be unborn than untaught." An educated people are every- where a conquering people. For example take the Russian aud Japanese. The Japanese, a nation greatly devoted to education, about 95 per cent of them beng educated, while about 95 per cent of the Russians are ignorant, Still more the Japanese a race small of stature, belonging to the darker SEDALIA, MO., SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1906. races, with a country little more than twice the size of Missouri, while Russia the largest country of the globe, with perhaps the best developed men physically, belonging to the most haughty race. But Cossacks and Russians, the most terrible army marshalled in modern times, went down before educated Japan. (Continued next week.) A SUCCESSFUL MEETING.

Great questions of | political, financial, religious, social or economical significance are the} outgrowth af public thought in this conatry, Our laws, customs and peculiarities are the visible evidences of our public consideration expressed either in print or vocal utterances, Ours is a land of free speech, unhamp:red thought and a fearless press. Where so much} freedom abides, there must be maintained some means whereby this freedom may be held in check. Freedom improperly sc means license to the untutored todo mischievous things. Hence to avert danger, our beloved land has several agencies at work to har, m nize, equalize and systematize our public sentiment, They are constantly at work and their influence is se‘ni omnipotent. We shail indicate four of the most prominent of these agencies: Homer Schcol, Pulpit and the Press, Home training is an if-ctive force in the formation and regulation of public sentiment. Self respect and selfreliance are taught there by practical as weil as theoretical methods. Ir the self reliant character acquired ia our homeare placed cur most hopeful anticipations for the future. It wil! be a wise} thirg for us to place more stress upon the home infl ence in order | that it may be of the rightful kind, ‘Anotler and more advanced fo-ce thatis a weighty contributor! to the building of sentiment, is the school. Ours isa land of schools. | Upon every hi'lside and throughout tne valleys are to be seen| schoolhouses, While attending to the daily routine of study, our| childreh are developing sentiment, Every text book is full of les. sons that reflect and mold thought, Each thought expresses a sen timent. Here then we must watch to see that the right lessons are taught, the proper thoughts are drawn out and that helpful and whole some sentiment is being developed. From our schools wi!: zome our Destfriends or our worst enemies, Friznds they wili be, if properly in structed. If they are improperly taught, we may look for anarchists, bomb throwers, lynchers and kindred other characters that will be a curse to we!l organized society. A race’s moral and religious leaders fashion its destiny. From the pulpitsof this land, our best and most progressiye thoughts must come, When the pulpit is thoroughly aroused on any propo- sition, it must count for something or come to naught. Having this power the ministers must see thatit is properly directed. Let them energize their sermons so completely that each one will culti- vate some phase of healthful sentiment. How powerful is the pul- pit! God grant that its present influence may be concentrated upon and directed in the proper channels, Transcending all agencies that constantly mold public sentiment is the press, Every hour our presses are unfolding thought. Everywhere this thought is shap- ing sentiment, It behooves us to see that all new thought should be good and American in spirit and in sentiment, Our newspapers, pamphlets, circulars and tracts are indispensable.
