Introduced to a largo Audience at tho rounlon of Nor mal Square Institute ou Monday uycnlng, and spoke for nearly au hour on what the school had done for tho young men of the community. Ho said that when he started tho school, oleven years ago ho 'did It sim ply to spend a part of a long vacation In a useful way, and to help some young men In tho community In their studies. Ho said he had been both pleasantly and un pleasantly disappointed. The school had accomplished some things which he did not think it would accomplish, and failed of accomplishing other things which ho had expected It would accomplish. "In the first place the school has aroused a greater interest among tho young men than I )iad expected, It has sent more, of them to college and normel schools than I had thought It would. Five young men three of whom lived within a milo of the school, havo gone through college. One of these afterward took a special courso In a tochnlcal school and now holds a good po sltlon In the west; another was afterward graduated from the Lutheran Theological seminary of Philadelphia, nnd is now teach ing in a largo Institution of learning; an other was afterwards graduated from the Union Theological seminary In New York and Is now a minister in the Presbyterian church; another graduated from tho Uni versity of Pennsylvania In the medical course and Is practicing medicine in a large city; tho fifth Is teaching tho ancient lan guages hi a good preparatory school for college. Bcsic'cs tlicse,two other young men have been graduated from the Jefferson Medical college In Philadelphia, ono from tho Theological seminary at Lancaster and two others still from ono of our State Nor mal schools. This school Is to-day repre sented by thirteen young men In seven dlf- fci en t colleges in tnrco dtnercut states, as follows: Franklin and Afarsliall college has tbrco, the Lancaster Theological seminary has three, Muhlcnburg Icollrgo has three, Urslnus college has one, tho Jefferson med ical collcgo of Philadelphia has one, II- Hams college at Wllllamstown, Mass., has one, and Yale college, New Maven, Conn., has one. Of these thirteen young men, six hayo been brought up, and still have their homes within one mile of this school, and five others live only five miles from it. Now I happen to bo pictly well acquaint ed with tho schools of Gatbon county, and I will toll you what probably not ono of you is awaro of, namely, that all tho nigh schools In Carbon county combined are not represented in as many colleges to-day, not by as many students, as this one school right here in your midst is. More than this, this school has for cloven years been tho highest giado school In this county. Thero Is no high school in tho county to day in which Greek Is taught, and there Is nono in which Is taught one-half IheLat In required to enter tho classical courso In college. I know of no private school In tho county that Is of as high a grade. Now these, are facts of which any Intelligent community should bo proud, and of which a few of you are proud, aDd tho rest ought to be. It is a disgrace to Mahoning that there are still peoplo who aro opposed to this scho.I and would cripple It if they could. It is n blguilicant act that this meeting mu3t he held in the open air on these grounds. It shows that this school has giown faster than the liberality of the pa rents whoso children aro being educated here. I nm ashamed, and I trust you will soon be, that there Is no better building provided for this school, no building to ac commodate Its friends on occasions like these. This school cannot Invite Its friends In fraternal hospitality 'under its roof; it has net roof enough to-night locovor them. It can only olfer them tho kindly shelter of the firmament of heaven. Let us all pray that this state of things may not long continue, and then rcacli our hands in our pockets and answer our own prayers. I am disappointed that this school has not regenerated tho public schools of the district. I had hoped that a good school during Hie summer might create a demand for belter schools during tho winter, but It has not. Your public schools aro wretch edly poor. We ought to bo proud enough of our beautiful Mahoning valley to be ashamed ot such schools. Mahoning needs an educational revival. No, not. a revival, but a resurrection from the dead. It be longs to what Is known as the poor school districts of tho state. Thero is no excuse for this state of things. Twontv-five years ago you paid your teachers $10 a month, now you pay them 1 will not say it In public Let us keep it to ourselves. But let me ask you, whsro will the schools of Mahoning be fifty years henco at this rate? Mahoning Is not too poor to haye good schools. Your school tax Is low. Only twenty-eight men in the township pay oy er twenty dollars, school and building tax combined. No resident pays as much as fifty dollars. About one hundred persons pay from five to thirteen dollars, and about two hundred and fifteen pay less than five dollars tax for school and building put pos es, and you will find that two hundred and fifteen citizens a majority at tho ballot box are paying from one to tbrco dollars to educate their children. Now if you have two children too send, and send them to a private school it would cost at the very lowest one dollar a month for tho two. For six months that means tlx dollars. If you have four children It means twelve dollars. You can get all this for one or two dollars If you are a poor man The rich pay for educating the children of the poor. Every time you raise tho school tax you take money out of the rich man's pocket to educate the poor man's children Is It not then to the Interest of the two- thirds majority In Mahoning who (pays less than four dollars school tax If not less than three (deducting tho building tax), to have a high school tax 1 Have working men ever thought seriously of this ? Yet these men who pay less than four dollars school tax are ofteu the loudest in declaim ing a,ralnet such tax. Let me ask them does four dollars pay for their tobacco ? Ten cents a week for tobacco amounts to over flvs dollars a year. . You may smock as much as you please for all I care, but don't complain that your taxes are high as long as yout cigars cost you more than the education of your children does. I am pleading for you, not for jour teachers, Your schools are not good enough for your children, in raise your children you have only to feed and cloth them; to rear them vou must feed, clothe, and educate them. You cannot shirk tho duty ot educating vour children any more than the duty of feeding and clothing them. You will be held accountable for the honest -discharge oi tins umy," low Prices for Job Work.
