for admission. but rather hard work TO

kinson made an address to tho congre-
cation of North Street NJ j. church,
which was filled to its utmost capacity.
Mr.. Atkinson spoke on the subject of
education, but more particularly OF the
work of the Southern Freedmens Aid
Society. He made a strong argument for
higher education and more general edu-
cation of the masses. His address showed
that the necessity of larger education is
one Of his strong beliefs.
lie said that the time had gone by for
ever when men and women could rise
above the mediocre unless they were odu-
Gated He impressed upon every parent
present the Importance OF seeing that their
children went to school and received a
common school education. If the young
men of the present expected, when they
grew Up, TO rise and leave their impress
upon their times, they would have 20
have a better education than those en-
gagged in the various pursuits and occupa-
lions of life to-day. This was true, wheth-
er they expected 10 become farmers, me-
Chanics, members of the learned profess
sions. or any other trade or business.
Mr.. Atkinson made an eloquent aliu-
sion to the progress and high standard
of civilization which had been reached
during the present century. lie compared
il with other centuries, and said it WIS
the greatest and grandest century I'm the
worlds history. Some of the other cen-
turtles We're noted Tor advancement and

they had been all deficient I'm the higher

In these days we have no wars. no hroi's
between nations. The only exception
within the last quarter of century wgs
the war between China and Japan. and
this was q war of ignorance and not of
