EDUCATING THE CLASSES.

A thousand years ago few people
could read and write in any language,
that is, comparatively few. Only the
devout and a few of the rich took
time to bother about education. To
read the Bible seemed all sufficient.
AS for schools they were as scarce
as needle in hay stack. For hun
dreds of years after that, the condi.
tons did not materially change, and
It has been only in the last hundred
years that many people outside of the
children of the rich deemed college
education of sufficient value to work
for it with devotion and earnestness.
All this has changed The humblest
boy now Graves for the value of a col

than to be ornaments of society.
Not that we infer, by any means,
that teachers are ornaments to So

sense, OF society. Many a young man
can do better toward his fellowman by
becoming a teacher than he could do
by becoming a farmer. And on the
other hand, many young man could
do more for society by going back to

BUILDING A GYMNASIUM.

Not long after the construction o

will be completed, Loganites will b,
