HE spectacle
America presents
this day is with
out precedent in
history. From
ocean to ocean?
in city, village
and ; countryside
?the children of
the states are
marshaled and
marching nnder
the banner of the
nation, and with
them the people are gathering aronnd
the school boose.
Men are recognizing today the most
impressive anniversary since Home cele
brated her thousandth year?the 400th
anniversary of the stepping of a hemi
sphere into the world's life: four com
pleted centuries of a new social order,
the celebration of liberty and enlighten
ment organised into a civilization.
And while during these hoars the
federal government of these United
States strikes the keynote of this great
American day that gives honor to the
common American institution which
writes ns all. we assemble here that we.
too., may exalt the free school that em
bodies the American principle of uni
versal enlightenment and equality, the
most characteristic product of the four
centuries of American life.
four hundred years ago this morning
the Pmt?'s gun broke the silence and
announced the discovery of this hemi
sphere.
It was a virgin world. Human life
hitherto upon it had been without sdg
xfificance. In the Old World for thou
sands of years civilized men had been
trying experiments in social order.
They had been found wanting. But
here was an untouched soil that lay
ready for a new experiment in civiliza
tion. All things were ready. New
forces had come to light full of over
turning power m the Old World. In
the New World they were to work to
gether with a mighty harmony.
It was for Columbus, propelled by this
fresh life, to reveal the land where these
Stew forces were to be given space for de
velopment, and where the awaited trial
of the new civilization was to be made.
Today we reach our most memorable
milestone* We look backward and we
look forward.
Backward we see the first mustering
of modern ideas: their long conflict with
Old World theories, which were also
transported hither. We see stalwart
men and brave women one moment on
the shore, then disappearing in dim for
ests. We hear the ax. We see the
name of burning cabins and bear the cry
of the savage. We see the never ceasing
wagon trains always toiling westward.
We behold log cabins becoming villages,
then cities. We watch the growth of
Institutions out of little l^eginniugs?
schools becoming an educational system:
meeting houses leading into organic
Christianity: town meetings growing to
political movements: county discussions
developing federal governments.
We see hardy men with intense con
victions grappling, struggling, often
amid battle smoke, and some idea char
acteristic of the New World always
trmmpbing. We see settlements knit
ting together into a nation with single
ness of purpose. We note the birth of
the modern system of industry and com
merce and its striking forth into un
dreamed of wealth, making the miDions
members one of another as sentiment
could never bind. And under it all, and
through it all. we fasten on certain
principles ever operating and regnant?
the leadership of manhood: equal rights
for every sow h universal enlightenment
as the source of progress. These last
are the principles that have shaped
America; these principles are the true
Americaznsm.
We look forward. We are conscious
we are in a period of transition. Ioeas
in education, in political economy, in
social science axe undergoing revisions.
There is a large uncertainty about the
outcome. But faith in the underlying
principles of Americanism and in God's
destiny for the republic makes a firm
ground of hope. The coming century
promises to be more than ever the age
of the people?an age that shall develop
a greater care for the rights of the
weak and make a more solid provision
for the development of each individual
by the education that meets his need.
As no prophet among our fathers on
the 300th anniversary of America could
have pictured what the new century
would do. so no man can this Vtay reach
out and grasp the 100 years upon which
the nation is now entering. On the vic
torious results of the completed centuries
the principles of Americanism will build
our fifth century. Its material progress
is beyond our conception, but we may
be sure that in the se&ial relations of
men with men the most triumphant
gains are to be expected. America's
fourth centnry has been glorious: Amer
ica's fifth century must be made happy.
One institution more than another hrs
wrought out the achievement of the
past, and is today most trusted for the
future. Our fathers in their wisdom
knew that the foundations of liberty,
fraternity and equality must be univer
sal education. The free school there
fore vw *s conceived the cornerstone of
the republic. Washington and Jeffer
son recognized that the education of
citizens is not the prerogative of church
or of other private interest: th.it while
religious training belongs to the church,
and while technical ami higher culture
may be given by private institutions,
the training of citizens in the common
knowledge and the common duties of
citizenship belongs irrevocably to the
state.
We therefore on this anniversary of
America present the public school fis
the proudest expression of the principle
of enlightenment which Columbus
grasped by faith. We uplift the systen:
of free and universal education as the
master force which under (iod h:i< l>ceu
informing each of or.r generationwith
the peculiar truths of Americanism,
America therefore gathers her sons
around the school house today as the in
stitution closest to the people, most char
acteristic of the people and fullest of
hope for the peop?c.
Today America's fifth century begins.
The world's twentieth century will soon
bo here. To the thirteen milli< ?ns now in
the American schools the command of
the coming years belongs. We, the youth
t/f America, who today unite to march
as one army under the sacred flag, un
derstand our duty. We pledge ourselves
that the flag shall not be stained, and
that America shall mean equal oppor
tunity and justice for every citizen and
brotherhood for the woi Id.

What about Mrs. O^nmbus? She
o*vzht to figure somehow in the celebra
tion, although there is no picture of her
extant. She was a Miss Prdesfre??o. of
Lisbon, and berime t he wife of Colum
bus in 1470. Her father was a n:; vigator.
and from old PaVstreHo'selii rts Colum

EDNA DEAN PROCTOR.
She VTrote the Ode for the Columbus
Day Celebration.
Miss Edna Dean Proctor, the descend
ant of a highly honored New England
family, ~as boni at Henniker, N. R. in
early lifo she became a contributor to
the best literary publications and pub
lished a volume of poems, mostly pa
triotic which gave her a leading place
among American poets. After travel
ing extensively in the east she wrote "A
Russian Journey** in a vivid, picturesque
Latin style, which has become a classic
edna dean PROCTOR.
Her later poems have been slowly pro
duced, but are everywhere held to be mas
terpieces of art and among the strongest
voices of patriotism in our literature.
She lives much of the time in Boston
and at Framingham, Mass.
Miss Proctor w:is honored by the com
mittee of the popular Columbus Day
celebration soliciting her to write the
ode which is to bo rendered in every lo
cality of America on Oct. 21. The lyric
is the result of months of labor, and
will take permanent rank as one cf the
foremost poems ever written on America.
THE OFFICIAL PROGRAMME.
Prepared for the National Columbian
PoMio School Celebration of Oct. 21.
T IS now known
to all readers
that President
Harrison has is
sued a proclama
tion naming Oct.
21 as the true an
niversary of the
discovery of
America, and
recommending
its observance by
suitable exercises
in all the se .ools of the United States.
A uniform programme for every school
in America, to bo used on Columbus
Day simultaneously with the dedicatory
exercises of the World's Columbian ex
position grounds in Chicago, will give
an impressive unity to the popular cele
bration. Accordingly, when the super
intendents of education last February
accepted the plan for this national pub
lic school celebration, they instructed
their executive committee to prepare an
official programme of exercises for the
?ay, uniform for e?ery school.
The following programme has been
prepared by the co:u:?ittt,x>:
The schools should assemble at 9 a. m, in
their various rooms. At 9::a> ihe detail of vet
erans is expected to arrive, it is to be met at
the entrance of the yard by the eoior guard of
pupils, escorted with dignity to the building
and presented to the principal. The principal
then gives the signal und the several teachers
conduct their pupils to the yard, to drumbeat
or other music, and arrange them in hollow
square about the flag, the veterans and eolor
guard taking places by the Hag itself. The
master of ceremonies then gi ves the corumand.
'Attention!** and begins the exercises by read
ing the proclamation.
1. Reaping op the President's Proc
lamation. By the Master of Cere
monies.
At the close of the reading he announces:
"*Tn accordance with this recommendation by
the president of the Unitt-d States, and as a
sign of our devotion to onr country, let the
Gag of the nation bo unfurled above tills
scbooL**
8. Raising of the Flag. By the Vet

palm downward, to a line with the forehead
and close to it. Standing thus all repeat to
gether slowly, "I pledge allegiance to my flag
and the republic f??r which it stands: ono na
tion indivisible, with liberty und justice for
all." At the words "to my flag" the right
hand is extended gracefully, palm upward, to
ward tho flag, and remains in this gesture till
the ecd of the affirmation, whereupon all
hands* immediately drop to the side. Then,
still standing, as the instruments strike a
chord, all will sing 'America**?**My country,

A Forgotten Coluuibos Slonnuaeut.
It is a mistake t<? suppose that there
was, up to a sh-rt time ago.uo tuonu- I
ment to O IniLbus" in the Ciiitcd States, i
There is a monumental shaft in Balti
more. It is obscurely placed and is in- |
scribed "?"'ris Columbus." It dates ;
from ?7S4. itwaserected by tbo French i
consul general. Do Aiuaiaoar, who. with
some hundred or more French officers
and soldiers, remained in Baltimore
.ft or the end oi tho Leyolutiouary war.
"God helping me," cried Columbus, "though fair or foul the breeze,
I will sail and sail till I find the land beyond the western seas.r
So an eagle might leave it3 eyrie, bent, though the blue should bar,
To fold its wings on the loftiest peak of an undiscovered star!
And into the vast and void abyss he followed the setting sun:
Nor gulfs nor gales could fright his sails till the wondrous quest was done.
Dut Ob, the weary vigils, the murmuring, torturing days,
Till the Pinta's gun, and the shout of "Land!" set the black night ablazel
Till the shore lay fair as Paradise in morning's balm and gold,
And a world was won from the conquered deep', and the tale of the ages told I
Uplift the starry Banner! The best age is begun!
We are the heirs of the mariners whoso voyage that morn was done.
Measureless lands Columbus gave and rivers through zones that roll.
But his rarest, nobtert bounty'was a New World for tho Soul!
For he sailed from the Past with its stifling walls, to the Future's open sky.
And the ghosts of gloom and fear were laid as the breath of heaven went by;
And tho pedant's pride and the lordling's scorn wero lost, in that vital air,
As fogs are lost when, sun and wind sweep ocean blue and bare;
An<I Freedom and larger Knowledge dawned clear, the sky to span, ;
The birthright, not of priest or king, bo* of every child of man!
Uplift the New Worlds Banner to greet the exultant sun!
Let its rosy gleams still follow his beams as swift to west they run,
Till the wide air ring3 with shout and hymn to welcome it shining high,
And our eagle from lone Katahdin to Shasta's snow can fly
In the light of its stare as fold on fold is flung to the autumn sky!
Uplift it, Youths and Maidens, with songs and loving cheers; * ":
Through triumphs, raptures, it has waved, through agonies and tears,
Columbia looks from sea to 6ea and thrills with joy to know
Eer myriad sons, as one, would leap to shield it from a foe!
And you who soon will be the State, and shape each great decree,
Ch, vow to live and die for it, if glorious death must be!
The brave of all the centuries gono this starry Flag have wrought;
In dungeons dim, on gory fields, its light and peace wero bought;
And you who front tho future?whoso days our dreams fulfill?
On Liberty's immortal height, oh, plant it firmer still!
For it floats for broadest learning; for the soul's supremo release;
For law disdaining license; for righteousness and peace:
For valor bom of justice, and its amplest scope and plan
Makes a queen of every woman, a king of every man!
While forever, like Columbus, o'er Truth's unfathomed main
It pilots to the hidden isles, a grander realm to gain.
Ah! what a mighty trust is ours, tho noblest ever sung,
To keep this Banner spotless its kindred stars among!
Our fleets may throng tho oceans?our forts tho headlands crown? :
Our mines their treasures lavish for mint and mart and town?
Rich fields and flocks and busy looms bring plenty, far and wide?
And statelier temples deck the land than Rome's or Athens' pride?
And science dare the mysteries of earth and wave and sky?
Till none with us in splendor and strength and skill can vie;
Yet, should we reckon Liberty and Manhood less than these,
And slight the right of the humblest between our circling seas? t
Should we be false to our sacred past, our fathers' God forgetting,
This Banner would lose its luster, our sun be nigh his setting!
But the dawn will sooner forget the east, l*:c tides their ebb aud flow.
Than you forget our radiant Flag and its matchless gifts forego!
Nay! you will keep it high-advanced with ever brightening sway?
Tho Banner whose light betokens tho Lord's diviner day
Leading the nations gloriously in Freedom's holy way!
No cloud on the ne*u of azure?no stain on the rosy bars?
God bless you. Youths and Maidens, as you guard the Stripes and Stars!

Prof. Totten's Latest Warn
ing.
Prof. Totten is out with another
warning. He maintains that his calcu
lations arc being minutely fulfilled :
that his published system c-f chronology
contain? the truth so far as a mere skel
eton can, and that hinee March 29,
1802, every thing has conspired to
strengthen his convictions as to the crit
ical nature of the crisis now at hand
Prof. Totten claims to have the shrono
logica' chart relative to tho two edicts
that led to the restoration of Jerusalem
aft;1!' the Babylonian captivity.
"This astounding discovery," say>
he, "sweep* all controversy asi-i'1
The sirty-uiae weeks of Daniel began
on solar time (365 days to the yar)
with the edict issued to Kzra in 3543
and extended 18.-> such years to 4020,
the baptism of the Saviour. Fourteen
and one half years later the second
edict is-ued to Nebeniiah in 3557J a
m. 'To build the walls of Jerusalem.'
This was only 408} solar years from
-102(5 a m , but by measuring on lunar
time (354 days to ?he year.) which is
ex'tr* ly 11 days per year shorter, he
arrives at the same identical date, for
468?, solar years are 4S3 lunar years,

j Not long since two York men visited
! Kansas. They stopped at a hotel ooe
; forouoon, aud after dinner one of them
j walked dowa to a barber shop to get
j BhaveJ. Tue shop was shut, tho barber
having gone otf to take his after diuner
uap. Then the York man walked back
to his landlord and said :
"With your magnificent country,
which is the garden of the world, you
ought to be the most prosperous people
on the face of the earth That you are
not is due to the fact that you don't

he don't tjet it, for I am going to shave
myself, aud save my ten cents. I have
a razor iu my valise, and if you will
abow me to a mirror I will shave my
self;"
The I a jc lord .said the barber way a
shiftless cuss, who like most Western
men, could not compare with Penn
sylvania for attention to business, and
patience in scooping in the dimes; but
he hoped that all would improve in time
and then ho showed our friend into a
room where he found a good-sized mir
ror, and shaved himself. Soon after he
j ?ine ! companion and congratulated
himself on the success he had in saviug |
cents, and teachins Western men i
financiering. After tea the pair paid j
their bills and went to the depot to take
the train. On their way the man who
hadn't shaved said :
''Pretty reasonable house, that; only
one -lolUr for dinner and supper."
Only a dollar !" said the other,
"why I paid a dollar and a half!" and a
little further explanation showed that he

And the man who shaved himself;
went tc the depot, a saider if not a bet- ;
