Soon they will have a natural habit of learning a little each day, and learning will then be recreation to them. So that all they require is an Encyclopedia in the home to secure the most practical education. Gladstone says further that it is now possible to go straight into the very heart, the very sanctuary of the temple of learning and become acquainted with the best works that men have produced. "It is not to be supposed that workingmen, on coming home from labor, are to study Euclid and works of that character - and it is not to be desired except in cases of very special gifts - but what is to be desired is that some effort . ' should be made by men of all classes, and perhaps by none more than by men of the laboring class, to liftourselves above the level of what is purely frivolous, and to endeavor to find our amusement in making ourselves acquainted with things of real interest and beauty." All the recorded wisdom - of great writers, past and present, is contained in the Enc-yelopedia Britannica, so that every shade of taste can lind its liking, whether it be such subjects as Euclid or the commonest topics of everyday life - whether to learn how to measure the distan ce to Mars or how to tie a square knot in a rope.

In hifi speech on the occasion of the distribution of the prizes at the Nonconformist School at Mili Flill he compared the advantages of today with the advantages of the ancients: "AU they have achieved is before you. The great experiences are at your service and command. "You have this enormous advantage under the peculiar condition of this age." Again he says: "Believe me when I teil you thát the thrift of time will repay you in after life with an usury of proñt beyond your most sanguine dreams, and that the waste of it will make you dwindle alike in intellectual and moral nature beneath your darkest reckonings. Get knowledge all you can. Extravagant luxury for one may be absolute necessity for another. It depends on what you aim at. What would an ape care about opportunities to improve his mind? The word man means to think, which is the opposite from beasï. Thus, we cannotclassny No. 2, as he does not look like a heast, and does not look like a. man. We must cali him the "missing'link." If you are a man you think. If you think you are constantly coming in contact with questions. If you supply yourself with the correct answers to these questions you become a success in life, and you honor yourself and your family. This is true, no matter what your calling. If you answer your questions you must do it right when the qttestion comes up so it will be a pleasure, and you cannot forget it. This is true education. If you answer your questions when they come up and answer them correctly you must haye the best Encyclopedia in print right in your home. The whole world are agreed that the Encyclopedia Britannica is the best in prmt.
