EDUCATION.
TO THI EDITOR.
Sir.—All claim that knowledge is power. In equity tho poorest have a right to think and better their conditions. There is.a beneficent side even to our',difficulties, woes and hardships. Whatever stirs* emotions acts upon the brains. Suffering sends us in search of a remedy. When we lose, we, must replenish, and out of the perpetual communion of intellects, this unremitting self-adjustment, universal betterment is born. But to think itTwicked. Does not the good old hymn declare, “Oh, wicked world, we know thee well; thy ways, and, maxims lead to hell ”? So let Socialism,he anathema, as with mother church. Where ignorance is bliss' ’tis wicked to be Vise; knowledge would interfere with the vested interests of the vestment party. Sans tibi Deo.—l am, etc., TTBIQUE.
