Wo aru apt to &eo only the die- advantages which invariably Hl.uid in tliu way of pioneer children al- U'lnpling to secure an education. They may seem over to outweigh the advantages derived from imch labor. But all things idiould bowen won by oarneet eil'ort , ai'd 1 believe that tlu person wlio in youth haste to cotitond more or lot's with advor- nity in strengthened thereby , and bettor prepared for thu bittlo of life , than bin soomiugly mor far- lunalu brother who has been reuied n the ! t\p of luxury , enjoying eve y )08tiniblo opportunity in ihu way ol it is not true , that wo value the prize according to the Hlruggio ? Especially should patuntH roahzo the value of this. By si-ning de fects in their own training duo possibly - sibly to lack C'f proper education , they hhould endeavor to HO train the child'ri mind and bung ; such in fluence in Iheii IIVCN that ihoy uu q'liru ' an atlinity ( or learning , indua try , and , education in itn fullest souse , that in , being practical aud the poanefsor of good , common nenae and the ability of using it In this way they are made lo real- i lhal there are possibilities for them , that no obstacle HO unsur- nountablo , no diliicully HO great that it cannot be overcome. How many children grow up in in atmosphere of ig-ioianco where they do not know , have never seen ind cannot appter.rlo good litera ture ! They know nothing beyond liard daily labor. Tina is very commendable , Una industry and energy which as a rule characterize the children laboring people. But we Hhould hot ho extremists. We should combine our physical hbor wiln a proper development of Ihe mind. It ha ? been said that , "The rioul ia planed in the body hlcu a roi'gh ' diamond , and must bu polish ed or the luster of it will never sip- pear and it ia manifest that an the national aoul diHtirrguiflhus us from brutcN , so education earrieii on that dihtinetion , and make * Htmo IO.H bullish than others.

Our ohildrou can be. of more IIHO to us in our hurd loll , than lo ha spend ing our hard earned money on auch , high flown , nonsensical notions. " But right hero ia where ho many have a miatakrn idea. No one of us , I hope , admire the frivolous and shallow minda of society , who HO like to impress their green country cousins with their great mental superiority. "All ia not gold tint glitlerfl , " and fiuiely iheso exemplify that oft qiu-ted truth. They arn not the educators of our land today. IH it because they have no oppor tunities in the the way of educa tion ? The high nohool , nuadr-my , college Ihoy have free access to , and they are able to take advantage ol their privilege , but disdain that which is proffered them. It fipfiina that human nature ia so constituted that , that which hea within our grasp and can be BO easily obtained , ia rejected its a thing of no-value. Wo value wealth and life t > e' > ms to bu one great Htruirglo for it.

No hn cannot realise , cannot appreciate it. U in the 8-unu in the matter of education. How many fail to see and use the golden opportunity ! Suppose two children in your minds oye. Plaoo them Hide by bide. It will emphasize the con trast. One the pampered child of wnalth , the other a pioneer child of the prairies and srd houses. One NeeniH completely at a IONH as com pared with the other. Ytt follow their life history. One a life ol pleasure , the ether : i series of Htrug- plort against adversity some now dittioully continually confronting him. If he has the ambition and perseverance , if ho has implanted in his mind \ho value of learning , ho will overcome thrm. "livery hill wo climb in attaining an educa tion makes us stronger for the next" This pioneer child advantages wo all know how limited they nre. Ho bet inH school ia the little sod sohool house with its \\ooden benches and few books ; poHaibly walks or drives two or three or mnro miles , in all kindu of weather when not obliged , to I remain at homo to labor. Ho finishes the country pohool. There is a senae of unsatmfaction with himself he has not enough knowledge. So he delves away gathering bits of learn ing from every possible source , until some day , it may take IOMK years but the time will oomo when he will have reached tlo ) goal , and he is ready for hfe'd work and re sponsibilities. Jlut where is his companion , the wealthy child who is raised prob ably , in the onator Htato or city , .lias dit-da'tiod education , has likely wearied of the labor of study and dropu it for the more congenial booioty of pleauuroloviim people ( irndually his ambitions disttapponi and at , last are swallowed by the infatuation for gaiety and fast liv ing. Ho now stands at a great dis advantage fin compared with the pioneer child. Ono senteifo ex- piert-en it. One him failed oven to take advantage of his advantage , the other lias taken advantage of IUH disadvantage. . Were the people as a class more educated , wealth would not rnlo so completely as it ( iflen docn. Think of KiiHKia's ignorant millions and how they are kept under opproHsion by a tyrannical rule. America's common classes are educating them selves and hence their greater free dom. And even hero in our own countiy conditions mig'ut bo great ly improved. Our greatest men have been of most humble origin and it wan through their pluck and perseverance that they stand today before I ho world as men to bo re spected , honored and are indeed worthy patterns for we pioneers who realixo what adversity is. Education is not merely some thing to bo gained through the use of books , but by a proper study of them , they will open our eyes and mind to what was unappreciable bo fore. Perhaps all will not linif.li collude , master the hard languages , the intricacies of higher mathema tics. But all can obinin a good practical education , which in much the rohtilt of intelligouco and ex periences we muet with in every walk of life. And that is where the pioneer has the oppottunity of gaining strength through his poor opptunU ties. Again I repeat , thia fact would I emphasize , that the great educational advantage of pioneei children , uonsiuta it > the over com ing of the many disadvantage * . Itepiiljlidan Primaries.
