THE CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL.

us Importance should appeal to
every friend of humanity!
At the risk of being deemed guilty
of repetition we again make reference
to the School for the sake of getting
all our readers interested in it,
Attention is directed to the letter
of praise and commentator from S.
+. Benson, Of Pierson, Iowa, stalwart
cause. He is an old warrior who has
fought in the trenches and contributed
of his means. His testimony ought to
have great weight
The object of the School is first to
teach the elementary principles of
modern science aided by philosophy
that its pupils may be able to teach
others the beautiful harmony of the
universe
There are comparatively few people
who can really understand and APP
preciate the wondrous beauty, the
mighty whole of the universe, and yet.
the knowledge that will enable thous-
ands to acquire such enjoyment is laid
at the door of your home through the
medium of the Correspondence School
BY taking the prescribed courses of
study the pupil would soon learn that
in all of Nature, every pore is bursting
with life; that the ocean we call life is
inexhaustible; that every death is a
new birth, every grave a cradle. Ma
ture is prodigal Of space, but econom-
zeal in filing it. This life is found in
each of the three great provinces,
Earth, Air, and Water. 1t spreads in
every direction, into time past and
present, flowing and surging every
where. On the mountain top; in the
abysess Of the oceans depths; in the
deepest crevices of the earth's crust,
may be found traces Of animal life.
Can you not see the storehouse of
knowledge thus opened unto youY Do
you not grasp the rich quality of in
formation offered? Is it nothing to
know, to understand, and to be able
to teach others, how the very earth
we tread is largely formed of the
debris Of life? Think of il! The old
fiints which struck the fire of Revo-
In iOnary muslIets were but the re.
ra'ns Of countless skeleton forms.
The Alps, the Rocky Mountains, and
the Chalk Cliffs Of England, are monu-
mental relics Of bygone generations.
From the ruins Of this living archi-
lecture have the Pyramids been built.
Wonderful! Say you?
1t is, indeed, wonderful! but it is
more wonderful when we penetrate
these secrets Of the past, following

the many colleges that stud the CONT
nent. The suggestion is not a good
one. Not one Freethinker in a thous-
and is able to attend college. Rail-
road expense, tuition fees, boarding
and other incidentals, make it too
costly IA proceeding and thousands are
prevented from attending these useful
Institutions The School may not be
able to impart so complete an instruc-
ton but it can go a long way in that
direction and by taking the School
into their homes it affords splendid
opportunity for utilizing their leisure
hours when the work of the day is
done.
Learn that even empires are but
sand hills in the hour glass of time;
that the human race is not at rest;
that it never will be at rest until
earth conditions are such as to render
life untenable; that no man, or men,
can stop the march Of destiny. Learn
that man is the archetype Of society;
that individual development is the
model of all social progress. Learn
that all mundane events are the re-
suits of the operation of law; that
every movement in the sky or on the
earth makes this law manifest. Learn
that from the mote floating in sun
beam to stars revolving in the sweep
of their mighty orbits, we recognize
like operation Of law, among living
things and non-living things, through
out the organic and inorganic worlds.
With this knowledge, the gods, ghosts
and COLLINS that have successfully
distorted mans fear and vpneratlon.
have disappeared, faded and died as
other fictions Of his mental babyhood.
What relation has the lesert TO the
tribes that live upon il What lcla-
ton have the fertile plains and grassy
meadows to the pastoral docks that
browze thereon? These are all import
ant parts in our information of stu
pendOus whoe and by patient inquiry
we find that organic operations are the
result Of physical agencies. Thus it
is we have been able to learn that it is
altogether needful that our planet
should be at IA definite m aan distance
from the sun, the source If its light
and heat, and that if its lass we're
larger or less, things living and things
lifeless upon its surface would not be
the same as they are now.
Here is the case in ntshcll! How

can now understand I'm the )ight of

we hope to dispel what still remains.

BLUE GRASS BLADE.

lHdG .tNcH Jue DOuleS Ol animals are
little words themselves having their
own fauna and fora And is it not
beneficial, helpful and desirable to
learn and to know, the how, the why,
the when, and the wherefore of all
these things? Such is the knowledge
the Blade proposes to impart through
the medium of the Correspondence
School Such is the scope of its plan.
One Of our most enthusiastic friends
writes that it is a big undertaking"
but that does not correctly express the
situation. 1t is more than big" 1t
is immense. And yet we have a SUI
preme confidence in ourselves. We
have confidence that we can so arrange
the studies for the benefit of the pu-
pill as to place the knowledge of all
these things within comparatively
easy reach. The burden exists at this
end. The part of the student is light
beside it.
The glory Of scientific research, the
brilliant conquest it has made, lies in
the fact that it has been able to re-
veal the universe as it is and not as
theology had led an ignorant world to
believe it was. Just as the movements
of ecclesiastical orders gave life and

these demonstrations, before its pu-
pills in the easiest possible manner and
qualify them 10 impart the knowledge
they thus acquire to others.
Friends, is it not worth while? Is
it not "a splendid mission? Being
satisfied, can you not help to make it
success? Two paths are open before
you. One is to become a pupil in the
School and encourage others to ioin
with you. The other is by making a
donation to give the School a proper
start. just as Brother Benson states.
the "School must have money" 1t
can do very little without it. Every
dollar contributed for the School shall
be spent on the School and for no
other purpose. The name of every
contributor and the amount con
tributed shall be given in the Blade
columns so that its friends and bene-
factors may know precisely what is
taking place. In any event the Blade
realizes that it must shoulder an
responsibility in the under
taking and it is willing to assume the
risk because of a desire to be of some
use in the world.
Some question has been made con-
'erning this method of imparting
