ATmOSPHERE.

The atmosphere is an invisible sub
stance that surrounds the earth. 1t is
composed Of two substances. One is called
oxogen and the other nitrogen. 1t is a
compound substance and believed to be
material, from the fact that it has extern
sion and weight. 1t is a transparent body
and has neither smell nor taste. 1t is
said to extend about forty-fve miles in
height and is found everywhere, even in
the pores of the most solid bodies. Its
pressure at the surface of the earth is really
wonderful. The books tell US that a man
of ordinary size sustainsa weight Of about
$4,000 pounds at or near the level of the
sea. In the upper regions of the atmos-
phere the air is so rare that birds cannot
fly in it.
The atmosphere is the medium of sound.
On the tops of high mountains men can
not easily converse with each other be-
aus the air is too rare to convey sounds
With any 5istinotnoss. The life Of plants
and animals depends upon the atmosphere.
Nothing is more interesting than the re-
latiou we sustain to air. Without it, we
could not live. Plants die without it
it Is the source of all the life and beauty
of the earth.

A MISTAKE.

Some parents think or seem to think
that children ought to be kept at school
all day in order TO have them succeed
well. \ few hours properly spent in the
school room is all that is necessary, espe-
cially for those children who are young, or
of delicate health. 1t is so common for
parents to suppose that the longer the
teacher confines the pupils the better it is
for them. that many oppose all effort on
the part of teachers to improve on the old
time-way of combining children in school
from sun up to, sun down. In four hours.
inst as much work might be done as is
done now in eight hours. \ reformation
on this subject may be expected soon and
we might as well begin to prepare our
selves for it. For it is well known
that a short time spent in the school room
in vigorous study will advance the pupils
much more rapidly than the present plan
of keeping children in a poorly seated
school house from seven to eight hours.
Very little time is spent in actual study,
as all teachers well know. 1t Is useless to
expect children to study after they become
restless and uneasy, which will certainly

of July. 1870, aged six months and seven
days.
The baby gone, the cradle empty and
the home is desolate. God gave and God

short and of continual suffering. Death
quoted his anguish and placed the little
earthly jewel in a heavenly casket. and oh.
how solacing and beautiful the promises of

We attended the close of this school on

in conducting the exercises.

FARMING AND SCHOOLS.


The idea that farmers can do without
the benefits Of an education better than
any other class of our citizens, is danger
Gus to the material prosperity of the oun-
try and fatal to the interests of Agricul-
ture. If knowledge is worth any thing
at all, the farmer has a right to reap the
advantages to be derived from educated
labor. In as much as the farmer is the
bone and sinew'' of the country, there
can be no good reason why this opinion
should longer prevail among our people.
The laboring man, above all others,
greatly needs the numerous benefits that
grow out of general education. Toll, as
is we'll known, Is swearing to the muscle Of
man, but more especially so to those who
are unable. from a want of education, to
bring to bear in the shop or in the field,
any of the aids of scientific knowledge.
An educated man can, without doubt, per-
form more labor with less fatigue than
the uneducated-no difference what the
kind of labor may be, the result viii be
the IN Furthermore, the advantage
will rebound no less to the laborer himself
than to the interest of the employer. In
r-o~F~F .Li7, imtoHisent labor always SUI
percedes ignorant or unskilled labor, in
whatever field you may look for an exam
pie. There is no sound principle upon
which it is possible to explain why we in
this country have advocated the doctrine
of keeping the laboring man in ignorance.
We have taught our children that labor
is disgraceful. but the only disgrace in the
matter Is, the amount of ignorance we
display in performing what we are COM
PEELED to DO. Some may say this does
not apply to u.s. it may not-we hope it
does not. But when we look around us to
see what has been done to educate those
who DO our labor. we see the neglected
school house casting its ghost-Iike shadow
across the valleys and up the hillsides in
almost every ncighborhood. These shabby
school houses condemn US. We do say,
by our actions at least, that the masses
ought to remain in ignorance, that educa-
ton IS Of no advantage to the common
people, that intelligence Is not worth the
effort it costs. Our people do not really
believe any such thing, but the indifer-

TuE SCHOOL ROOM.

rs a general thing, but little attention
IS given either to the ventilation or clean
illness of the school room. Both are i'm
portant and should receive the special at
tention of the teacher. Pupils are often
confined in small, badly seated, and poorly
ventilated rooms and then punished fos
not studying, when it is impossible for
them to do so. Physical education is the
first thing to be looked after. that Is, the
body when in a suffering condition does
not allow Of that quiet stated of mind neces-
sary to successful study. Every observing
teacher has noticed the dizziness of his pu-
pills after confinement in the poisonous car
bonic acid gas of the crowded school room.
Air that has once been breathed Is unfit
for respiration. but such is the neglect Of
teachers OF this subject that not unfre-
qucntly the school house is little better
than a slaughter pen.
The dirty floors, too, add no little in
helping to yitiate the air of the room and
thus render the children entirely unfit for
study. Wesley said, if we remember
correctly, that cleanliness is next to God
lihess; but from what We have seen in
many of our schools, we conclude that the
first Is not understood, and. of course, the
last is not practiced.
The object Of this article is to awaken
reflection in the minds of those who may
read it. There Is something to be learned
in the schools quite as important as any
thing found in the books-how to possess
healthy bodies and active minds.

Congress mud Education.

EDUCATIoN in its national aspects. and
the question how practically to help delin-
quent States to properly instruct their
children. are topics which have been vigor-
ously examined bysome of our leading leg
%islators. \ gratifying sign of the times is
the delivery of live educational addresses
during the present session of Congress.
Col. ProSscr, Of Tennessee, led off in Janu-
airy. with a very comprehensive and
thoughtful speech, over thirty thousand
copies of which have been sold through
private exertions of the friends Of Educa-
ton. Senator Wiley. of West Virginia,
delivered an address mot published in
pamphlet form) advocating education,
and that the sale of the United States
land he made to constitute a national edu-
]cational fund. Mr.. Hoar, of NIasSachu-
sets. brother of the Acknowledgement
and representing n district containing some
of the finest schools in the Union, made 4
speech on education for which ten thou
sand copies were mt once subscribed on the
floor of the House of Representatives.
Senator Patterson, of New Hampshire,
and Senator Sumner have addresses in
course of preparation, the latter intended
for a lyceum lecture this fall. These
things are evidence of an awakening SEN
timent on educational subjects which
comes none too soon, as shown by the
status of popular instructions as set forth
in these speeches.
