The ex-Prcsident of the Royal Astro-
nomical Society of England startles his
readers by drawing the conclusion, in a
new essay, that the length of our day
has been certainly increasing; that "the
length of the day may be expected ulti-
matcly to become gear" However,
ones nerves become steady again when
the estimate of the increase proves to be
an. increase of six seconds in the course
of million of years, AS Mr.. Pritchard
justly remarks, the day will not be length
encd into year "in our time"

Education.


This is subject, whose frequent pre-
sentation needs no apology. It's ines.i.
mable value to the individual and to the
community is too well known and ad;
mitted to need rehearsal.
The oft-quoted lines i:
"Where ignorance Is bliss
'Tis folly to be wise,
do certainly convey truth; they as
certainly recognize fact, that "igno-
rance is sometimes bliss"
1t is to destroy this bliss of ignorance
or rather to analyze it that Education
finds as its first and a,cst a;a;crl: task.
Where is ignorance bliss? Analyze
the feeling of sullen content and dearth
of every aspiration to realize and per-
form onr part in life--and it is mirno-
MGR to call it bliss. Could the feeling
never be disturbed, its torpid stagnation
might be mistaken for blissful rest; but
to every individual there comes a time
when this feeling is shocked, violently
disturbed, and realizing and aualyzing
the torpor into into which he had sunk,
every element of bliss disappears rapidly
out of sight.
Accomplish this task, analyze the sup
posed bliss and reveal the degradation
and misery of ignorance, and Education
finds herself appreciated and she becomes
a necessity.
Her blessings soon become diffuscd
and the individual and the community
exultiug in the new life and new born
joys-realize even more fully the misery
of ignorance. A grace, charm, joy
is thrown around the routine of life's
pathway, whose absence is misery and
degradation.
No ignorance is not bliss! 'Tis the
absence of all that constitutes the emo
ton it is state of incapacity for it's
enjoyment. But we see sigus that tell
plainly every day that our people are
waking up to the importance, the value,
the happiness of education. We sug-
gested some time since in our columns
practical plan by which education could
be made convenient and cheap enough
for all. We would again to-day alludc
to the subject, in the hope that the de-
lusion of the bliss of ignorance might be
entirely dissipatcd.
Let this be accomplished and it will
be entirely unnecessary and superfuous
for us to suggest plans by which educa
ton may be brought down to the con-
venience and means of the people.
1t will become necessity, sine qua
non. Its cause will be digniicd, the
school houses, that arc silent and
becoming ruins, will be revisited,
rebuilt, and resound again with the
happy voice of childhood, coming
those tasks that are to fit them for
life's duties and to make them happy,
the occupation of the teacher will become
dignifed, enobled and lucrative.
Let every township in the County
take the matter into serious consideration
and reduce the abstract appreciatioa, of
this all-important subject to a practical
and actual operation.
Let the neighborhoods organize,
schools, and advertise fer seacllars.
Let the coming fall be the initiation
oe n new era in tho cause of education.
which shall be for the permanent benefit
and happiness of your community.
