A Word for Education,,
Eds. Deadlight : We live
in a progressive age. The
world 'moves and to keep
abreast of the times we must
move with it. The motto of
successful action is ever onward
and upward. One of the de
mands of the ago is keen, well-
ciplined minds, minds conver
sant with books, men aud
things. To meet this the edu
cational interests of our country
must be fostered. Negligence
here involves criminality, be-
cause.it works injury to those
dependent upon us, and in a de
privation of those privileges and
benefits, which are ours to be
stow, and which are essentiall
to a correct conception of the
’duties and obligations of the
question of citizenship, and an
appreciation of the relationships
of life. We cannot afford to al
low the educational interests of
community to suffer. The
claims of our children and the
good of society demand that
there should be union of effort
and if necessary persistent ef
fort. Education is a legacy
which our children have a right
to expect at our hands and let
us not be inimical to our species.
This subject is agitating the
public mind as perhaps never
before. Shall we fail to esteem
it a privilege to take part in the
grand forward movement? Way-
cross is a railroad centre of won
derful facilities, of trade and
travel, why should it not be em
phatically an edcational centre?
Every facility is here and all
that is necessary to utilize them
is push and enterprise. Bring
these forces to bear and success
is inevitable. Then property
will be enhanced in value, pop
ulation will increase and the
whole town will receive an im
petus that will put the wheels
of progress and improvement
in motion. There is no reason
why this town should not be
come the centre of education of
this part of the State, with a
school of high grade where the
best educational advantages can
be had.
Let an academy he erected
now—do not wait—the matter
is urgent aud the business needs
haste. Do not let the want of
au Academy be a reproach to
this people. Immediate action
is the demand of the hour!
