It is a curious fact in the
history of nations that only those
which have had to struggle the
hardest for an existence have been
highly successful. AS a rule the
same thing is true of men. One
would think that it would be a
great relief to have the bread and
butter problem solved by ones
ancestors 80 that one might devote
all his energies and time to the
development of the mental and
spiritual faculties. But it is con-
trary to the verdict of history and
the daily experience of the world.

memories surround those who have
spent joyful hours around the
Christmas tree, when their hearts
were free from care and sorrow,
when the possibility of disappoint-
ment was still far from it's reali-
zation.
One Christmas Eve, the happiest
night of childhood, is recalled to-
day, when a little boy became the

tin soldiers. With radiant smile
he beheld the lighted tree and be-

his efforts to protect them from

full success.
What DR.. Barnado has done for

The mission of education is to
improve the standing of nation.
Battleships and armies defend the
treasures and honor of a country.
The thoughts of immortal men are
the treasures, and nations hon.
or lies in permitting men to enjoy
the peace required for study and
intellectual advancement. It is
not for one man to judge how
another should spend his leisure,
neither can we prevent the rich
from investing their money in
stocks and bonds; but to what
greater purpose can a man donate
his money than to give it for the
education of those unable to in
vest in a library of their own?
Where is there a greater enemy
of a community than he who re-
fuses to give dollar for it's bene-
fit, and who claims to be too proud
to accept the generosity Of a man,
who in his boyhood days, exper-
fenced the vacancy existing in
life without good things to read?
It is tainted money only when it's
use is withheld from charity and
other helpful purposes.
A broad sense of responsibility,
knowledge and understanding of
shortcomings of struggling human
ity, great generosity and power of
observation are required to qualify
any one who wishes to enter as a
missionary in the field of educa-
ton. To accumulate wisdom and
keep it in storage, is the folly of
the vain. To instruct and to
guide his fellow men, ignoring
compensations, is the noblest
work of man.
The immortal Schiller, whose
steady companions were poverty
and misfortune, uplifted a nation;
Kossuth sounded the note of free

sation IN Europe, and our own

the memories of our boyhood
days. The writings of great
authors will stand before all, from
generation to generation. To pass
them along is the watchword of
those whose lives we're made bet
ter because they were afforded an
opportunity to study.
If it is then worth while to
praise genius, the real apprecia-
ton lies in extending it's worth to
those who failed to grasp the
opportunity for higher ideal in
life. That is the mission of

The Mission Of
~ Education.

Paper Read Before the Chaattauqua Circle.
Men are judged by their accom-
plishments, and to learn how to do
one thing we'll, is the key to sue
cess for those ambitious enough
to get foothold in life. A man
may, after many years of study
and practical experience, become
a successful engineer and still re-
main ignorant of his obligation to
those about him. A man who
cares nothing for companionship
and prefers to eat his bread in
solitude, is mistaken if he deems
that sufficient to pay the debt he
owes to his fellow man. To live a
lonely life, just to escape the laws
of society, is an objectionable
error. No matter how successful
one may become IN a chosen voca-
ton, progress requires man to be
up to date in all things.
To study the creations beautiful,
| to take an interest in the welfare
of a nation and city, should be
the common aim Of all those who
desire to make life worth living.
Solitude is a genuine pleasure
only when the mind is active.
"A mind unemployed is a mind
unenjoyed." It is true, that some
men have no taste for anything
but their daily task. When they
arrive at their Preside, after a day
of hard labor, the pick and shovel
gets no rest, and they eat their
evening meal with an imaginary
pitchfork.
Several winters ago it was my
misfortune to spend month in a
lumber camp, and I must confess
that during the whole time stated,
no book or paper ever came into
my sight. What a lonely, awful
outlook for the advancement of
those men, whose only compan-
ions in life are the monthly pay
day and expectations. A man is
unfortunate indeed if he is born
blind, but the man who is blind
because he will not see, is to be
pitied. There is hope for those
who desire to improve themselves.
The progress of education is
steadily marching on, and unless
those responsible for the advance
