The following essay is the production of a
bright little lady, junior pupil at the Sugar
town Academy. 1t was the first essay read
before the PhiosOphia Society of the Acade-
my and its publication was requested by vote
Of the society:
Education is the Importance of human
life. II there were nv educated people there
would be no manufactured articles for the
use Of man, and no way Of transportation and
no HecessaTies Of human life, What differ
ence IN an educated man aud an uneducated
one. The intelligent workman will do more
and better work than ignorant ones. But
the excess in the amount Of work performed
is not the most important respect in which on
intelligent workman is SUPERIOR to stupid
one. He Is far more likely to be faithful to
the interest Of his employer to save from
waste and to turn to profit everything that
comes to his hands. There Is also the salts
faction OF being surrounded by thoughts and
inquiriug minds, Instead Of ignorance. Edu-
cation cannut be acquired without pains and
hard study. Every little makes a great deal
when any one is surviving hard to improve
their time. What an important thing Is edu-
cation Every person shopld strive for an
education. NIANNA LYONS"
