And now let the few old grandmothers yet hving in the halo of a ripe old age imagine themselves back ninety-one years ago. And as they stand on the vacant space on the Prince Street side in an open lot, they will see General Lafayette dismount from his carriage on the twenty-fifth of July, 1825, to be received by a cordon of women, who, before the free school system had become a possibility, had been instrumental in having this building erected, not so much for their own children, as for the po...or of the town who could not afford to send their own to any one of the paid schools so numerous among the well-to-do. In associating the names of the women of "Old Lancaster" of a century ago with that of the in- vincible patriot. General Lafayette, is so entirely appropriate at the present time, and for the reason that throughout the forty-eight states of the Union the women are untiring in their efforts in upholding the great cause of human hberty, not only in this land of the free, but over on certain parts of the continent of Europe, where that "one touch of nature" permeates all hearts with the instinct of civil and rehgious hberty for down-trodden humanity.
