Mr S. ». Baloww. ifikji AX addbim, Daher«a by Dr. W. T. Brown, at the Sociable, held in thin village* evening, May 4€&, 1883. been requested to m*k« a few n>wiirk» tbl* suitable for Mrk in ofcnulo#, I M# can say that.. Wrftllfe trilling to contribute my mlt«, 1 mm Mill quite certain that many more rtpriM* of tnterectlng yon might have twen fnnnd %• (111 audi a poaitlon. and yet the rabject of education, which would seem to be the fitting one for pncti an occasion,U so Intimately Inter­ woven and ef auch universal Interest to the wen being* the thoughte, the ac- tlone and beet condition of all, the hlfh and the low, the rich and the poor, the educated and the uneducated, that It would seem almost a solemn duty of rich aiid every man, woman and child, to give to It their beet thought* and attention. I will at least bt brief for one of the boat of reasons. First, then, let us consider for a mo­ ment what we mean by the term Edu­ cation ; lor, while we should likelr all agree as to its definition in a general way, wo might after all lose sight of Its more special and broader scope..and £hns fail to appreciate Its full claims upon UP Webster defines the term as fellows: "To bring up a child physically or mentally; to lead out and train the mental powers; to form and regulate the principles and character; to pre­ pare and fit for any calling orfor ac- tiWty and usefulness In life." Here. then, wo see the great breadth and foil force of its meaning. In a ft Is to k> train and develop the >n understanding and powerefboth tally and physically, as in the broadest sense to lnsnre success in life. Bow different this from the generally accepted signification. Not only a knowledge that may be gleaned from the books Is here required, but also a firm conviction and acknowledgement of the great fact, that that, however Important, dees not and cannot unaided fit us for the great duties of life. And now. In proof of this, let U9 examine for a moment familiar circumstances and cases as they are being developed on every hand aboat us. Are the so called "educated" of the world free from its vices? Can they under all circumstances be taken as our patterns in training the young for the usefulness and duties of life? Are they always lit models of character, aud can wo safely and unerringly point to them •a samples of real and true success in t)M great business affairs of the world ? How lamentably we should mistake fhMdd we answer, this in the affirma­ tive. Oa tb« contrary we have oar patella] eehool houses dotting our broad land from centre to circumference. Money la distributed with a lavish hand for their support; human ingenuity called to do Its atmost to make every feature connected therewith attractive and agreeable, and the fond hopes of par­ ents and the well wishers of the race are buoyed up with the thought that each of their sons, as they step forth from its portals, will give to the world full assurance of a man, not only In Aim and ttattw, but a human being eapaMe of taking a place in the great army of Mm workers ef the world, fully tmtmed with the importance of the nl«- ties of life, willing and ready to grasp either the pen or the plow, the shovel or the plane, to take in fact any honest position and filling it honestly and faithfully, thereby honor himself. I say, such are the hopes so often enter­ tained of those we call educated young men; but bow often such hopes are blasted! Go out into the world, and how many do wa find of these here and there waiting like McCauber for some­ thing to turn up to give them, as they term It, a position; and they wait and wait, striving to keep up appearance, sinking, slowly perhaps but surely, lower and lower In the scale of human­ ity, until they finally pass Into the great army of the seedy, the unwashed •nil forgotten. Now the question comes home to us with appalling fores: "Why and how does this state of things obtain?" And. If wo aro oorrect as to the conditiou of things as stated, it is & question of vast, of vital Importance, and the answer we think U mostly with ourselves, the par sets. True, we send our children to school, perhaps even with great regu­ larity, and If report roaches us (we must take report for it, as we seldom visit the school ourselves) that they are rssitlng Itheir lessons: with regularity and dispatch we flatter ourselves that our whole duty is done in the matter, forgetting or entirely ignoring the fact that the character and manhood of t he boy is father to the character and man­ hood of the man; that to be in truth a man he must be taught to rely to a great extent upon himself; that he must be made to fully understand his own real worth and importance in the - world, and that to drift aleng from year to year, depending upon father and mother, without a thought for the future. Is the sure road to inertia, idle- ness and rain, and that the place to toacb this most effectively U at home, by his own fireside, where the loving words of father and mother can most ctively reach tbe'heart and Imspire with ft noble ambition in the race of life. It to undoubtedly true that many tO«chers do not properly appreciate the importance and responsibility of their (Balling, and here we, as parents again fail in our duty in not promptly consigning such to another occupation tat the truly conscientious and capable tesdnr fools that the welfare of not *nlf the Individual. hut of society, is to"# giwit oxteut committed to his care, and with this thought constantly In view labors not only to impart a the mind to a tree and Jnfet apprecia­ tion of the business affairs of life, to Impress It with the great fact that honest industry and unswerving integ­ rity will most certainly Insure success. In short, he labors to make his pupils tnen and women in the great broad sense of the words, an honor to them­ selves, their families and the world. Such a teacher must of necessity be of unblemished diameter, foremost In every gopd word and work, a pride and honor to any people. His hand should be strengthened by an undiverted sup­ port and council, and he be bound to his charge by reciprocated acts of kind­ ness, that under his care and guidance our children may grow up to honor and not to dishonor, to truth and manhood, and not to deceit and shame. And now a few words to the scholar*, and I am done. You are, some of you at least and perhaps all, old enough to take some thought for the future, and are perhaps laying ont some work'or devising some plans of action when you shall have become 'men In years and must act and do for yourselvea. A few sngirestions to you from those who ought to have learned something from experience In the world would perhaps help yon In that direction. First, then, let siyr: Yon all wish to make a success In life; remember then, to do so you must, bo really and truly educat­ ed, not only such an education as you receive from the books and schools, hut you must learn to do something and to do it well.' You must learn to depend upon yourselves. Yon must learn the great and Important truth that the want and need of humanity to-day is Honest, strictly honest, temperate and Industrious men, and that without these qualities you will most certainly fail, and with those let me assure yon no human power can prevail against you. You must succeed with snch an education, because such men are want­ ed everywhere; they are wanted in our stores and counting house6; they are wanted on our steamships and rail­ roads; they are wanted, most sadly wanted. In our halls of legislation; they are wanted on the bench and at the bar; tbey are wanted on every hill side aud valley; and, above all, they are wanted on the thousands of farms and at the fireside of the tens of thousands of homes throughout the length and breadth of the land; they are wanted everywhere, that vice and crime and misery may cease, and peace and hap­ piness prevail In all onr borders. See to it, then, that you start right In this respect and start now, for now your clmractera are being formed, and you will ever have cause to rejoice, but no cause for sorrow. * '..ir SUMMER &$' v At the old reliable Boot and Shoe House ot •s Si * S, 1 . .J 1 ( 1 •»' - ' - k rW ••{*** - * f , j 5&V- •1 tti\ • r^y\ ' » i v • - {->• . v •iV,v. v.; . .jf "I" £?-?
