Did time pel mif, it wou'd oti I v-? pO'Sible to teview the history of v i i o' ho nations and we might learn n o! the power, dignity and inilueuce ; e ch in turn t.a ; elided. Surely : ;; one will question Ibrd man has excieised a mighty power, or not, i e:nctlj" in j roportiou s he has ' p "zed anil acquired an education j ' i eas neglected aud refused it ; and I what is true of individuals is also ' 1 Jlu t nations. Nor has man aloue ! 'a en improved, and developed, and ; perfected by education. Every I thing is made better by means of ill i elevating aud developing in fluence of education. The flowers that gladdeu our sight, and ti l the fragrant air with exquisite perfume ; the fruits, like the golden apples oi Heaperides, hang temptingly above our heads; the fields of golden, wav- ing grain ready for the sickle of the gleaner; the vegetables which till to overflowing onr bins and store-, hoasas; the horse excelling in strength, speed, eudurance, docility and aflection possessing a graceful form, an intelligent eye aud "a neck clothed with thnuder; the dog, the faithful friend ot man, following him to every clime from the equator to the poles active, sagacious, faithful, guarditig bis home, attend ing him in the chase, aud tending his flocks and herds. All the dom estic auimals fully attest to the powerful influence ol education. The flowers were once wild, 3'rnf." giing blossoms growing amid briars arid brambles in field aud forest nih uoticed and unsought until trans planted and trained by the educa te t baud of man ; now they b:oom in garden and greenhouse and con., servatory, ohjects of beauty and of admiration to all beholders, cheer ing many a lonely and depressed soul by silently attesting the good ness and love of the Creator. The Irish potato is a direct de scendant from the tubers found in a wild inferior state in Peru, Chile and elsewhere, yet it has been edu cated to such a degree of perfection that some new varieties have sold as high as $50 lor a single pound The cereals which now form a very large part of the food of man weie once wild, email aud wholly utilit for use, aud of coiuparitively little value; but through the long line ol ilevelopement aud intelligeut culti vation and education, they hne been brought to such a high degree of perfection that they now toim the greater part of the commerce ot the natious of the earth, their represen tee value aggregates hundreds of millions of dollars and call into ac tive service the fleets of the world. Oar luscious fruits were once di minutive and Bour, aud bore no re semblauce whatever to the appetiz ing productions which are now the prides of onr pomologi-ts and which form so large a part of fn ptcaet food ot man. The wild orauge of Florida presents a stnkiug illustra tion of the lack of educatiou and in telligent training contrasted with the golden, luscious gobnles of the trained and cultivated tree. No- where, perhaps, do we tee better examples of the improvement which has been broaght about by means of education than in thoee of on: domestic auimals. The hog, which has reached almost the acme ot poicine beauty and comliness dates its ancestry back to the time wheo the wild boar of Europe roamed through the forests of England and Francs an object of terror, legiti mate prey for the hunter aud sports man. The ancestor of the sleek . aud well-ted cittle of tosday were once denizens of the foreste of the Brit ish Isles where they roamed w ild and savage ; of practically little or no value to man. The horse, that intelligent and obed'ent servant ot man, was, in its early existence, les than half the size of the modem ass. possessing three well developed toes on each foot instead of the sicgle hoof as we see him today, and living on bogs and marshes. We might cootifcue 10 a simiur manner and show how all things con venience and comfort that mon have been improved, elevated, de- L, Can provide, and the educated veloped and perfected by means of :r, nd of mau can deyise, when corn education. Eoongb, however, has! p. red, or contrasted ratber, with been said to conclusively prove that i the rude log dug-oat of onr ance-s ma i is uot all that ha beeu influ-j torsis a splendid example of the enced for good and improved by j rr uuipb of mind over matter. Com- means ot education. It is especial- ly concerning the education ot mau that I wish to speak, aud of the great work awaitiug the ac'ive earnest, energetic teacher. We have ' spoken of education in general leal iziug that it is the mightest (actoi lor good that a people or nation cau wield. It is my intention to peai: somewhat of the inestimable value of an educatiou in the tree sens? of the word ; an education which reaches the heart as well as the in tellect. If we would folly realize that education is the mightiest fac- tor in the development and educa- tiou of mau : we hive only to cast a retrospective glauce to compare the past with the present to know that the wheels of progress are sure- ly revolving to know that the time J has long since past when every dell j and glade ; every forest path aud and sequestered glan was peopled with ghost or goblin in readiness to spring upon the unwary passerby; when grottoes, streams and mead ows were presided over by nymphs . when Aeolus, god ot tne winds, pie sid 'd over tbem and confined them lor safe keeping in a cave on the Aeolian islands ; when Pan was the special patron of shepards and fjuutsmen ; when Flora was goddess ot flowers, and Pomona of fruits; whuii the sweet voiced sirens lured the unsuHpec'ed mariners ou to cer t:tiu death ; when magnificent tern p'es innumerable were reared to hi my and strange gods; when the orach, of Appollo at Delphi lifted the daik veil ot futurity and Svi, it possible, were men enabled to avert dauger and calamities, when by observing the flight of birds, and observing the entrails of sacrificed animals, sooth sat ers were enabled through die.uns to foretell future events; when deepest and most uu unpenetrable dark-nens held sway over the minds of men anil kept them 111 the bouds of ignorance and Nupeistition ; when the gods were avenging spirits and fate and dea tiny held the ignorant minds of men m constant and abiect tear when Neptune was supieme ruler ot ot the ea and had the power ot canting mighty and destitictive tempests ; when at his commaud b Hows rose mouutain high, when l.uid and sea weie enveloped in thick daikntss; while on the other h ind his was the powerful will that stilled the angry waves, and dis-p'-i.sed'tbe btorni-clouds. Toda the enlighteued and educated mind, freed from iguoraut-superstttion, perceives that toi63t aud forest and stieam ; grotto and dell ; and wind ami wave bespeak otnutpoteut love and wisdom, and "earth with her thousand voices praises God''' The field of invention is filled tvitb almost countless examples il 1 utrQiivn of the elevating aud de veloping influence of educatiou. The war-club, spear, and the bow and arrow of the aborigines have bug since given place to the gat- j hug-gun, the brtecholoading Arm j stiong gun . the Parrott rifle-gun; and the famous Krupp cannon weighing more thau one hundred tons and hurling its thunderbolt of death for foarteen or eixteeu miles cur armies magDiticeutly equipped and perfectly trained would doubt less have been a revelation to the armies of old as they marched forth loth-field of action, armed only with bull-hide shields and sling and javelings. The frail canoe ot tLe savage, armed only with his vr-spear, has been superceded by the powerful man-of-war with its t; ipie-plates of steel-covered turrets and monitors its perfectly equiped ari-ameut8 hurling death and de struction from its brazeu-tbroated w. Misters, and belching forth flames w lich cast a lurid hue far over the di.rk waves of the trackless waste o: water. The magnificent ocean steam- sl ip, City of Paris, a fairy, floating p dac a miniature world, steam nropl ed, steam-heated and elec- tr edighted, supplied with every ; p. the rapidity aud ease with j jich the "ocean grey-hoonds ;skiru over the billowy sea, with the I labored and weary progress of the sailiug vessels of a few decad. ! es ago and we have another strlk ing iilnstration oi the progress and j development of toe intellect. As time rolls onward in his cease less course and improvement atter j improvement is brought forward j a? d perfected : as mau become more enlightened ; as the great truths of life are nnfolded and made clearer, we shall realize the power and w orth of education. no. 21: The use of steam Is another in- stance of tho development of eda cition. The first account of the i iventioti of the steam engine is tint ot lleio, 'S0 It, O., and from t lat time on down for a period of two thousand years the brain of man has been at work evolving, im proving, developing anil perfectiug the use and application of eteain atii it has revolutionized the in dtistries and civibzatian of the world. One of tiie moet interesting and m.-tructive features ol the Colum bian Exposition i- the comparison Ot things ancient and modem, thus showing that the progress and eiv iLzation of the world is due to edu cation. The modern model school edifices havp ;ir sen rtlmont upon the former sites ot the Hide log school t'onsex of oir fo'ef.ithers ; w tiere once wiood the wigwam ot lhe sav. age, or ttieeahin ot tne f rou tiei atnau now imve arisen populous cltieH marts ol tra-'e, centers of opulence' am! seats of learning and power. Thus in industry, science, ait and literature great progtews has been maile. Compare the. Minail, insig nificant glass of Galilee with the poweibil and magnificent telescopes fhtiiuii which the ahtiouomer nightly mcuis the heavetin, and re veals to us the wonders ol the starry pbeie ;n they roll on in spaee,ahd then lealize that this could only be accomplished thiough education. And thus might we continue and m regular order, one after another, bring up in mighty array a loug line of proofs ,u, d evidences to Buhotau tiate the statement that "Eeucatlou is the Mightiest Factor 111 the De velopment and F'evation of .Man," but.enough have .ilieady been ciied. As time rolls on in his ceaseless round and unprove'inent after im- prov eiio nt is peifected; as man be comes more enlightened; as tho meat tint lis of liie are realized and ieamed, we are more fully convinced of the poAei of educatiou. In tens thousand ws are we made to rea lize the power ot education and tne, mighty influence which it wields in the afiairs oi men. And to the teachers must the world look for the training, the developing and per- fectiug of the intellect. The teach er is lhe power Dou:uu ine unuuo and to him naturally is relegated the woik of preparing the mind for the duties and responsibilities ol life.

The teacher must understand the human miud. He must know the faculties of which it consists, the compara tive order of development ot those fat uities, the proper knowledge to be taught iu order to secure the be?t mental development and the method of imparting knowledge in su2h a manner as to secure the "Jest re nits.

It true that an ignorant farmer. wi bout any knowledge of the pro gressive or scientific methods of fa:miuz may manage to secure a crop and as he gains experience in crease the yit-ld of that crop. In a similar mannea tne nou-protessiouEi teacher may fioa the mind develop ing and intellect expanding under Lis training notwithstanding his blunders or ignorance ; but Deither the plant-growth nor the mind.
