It takes the world along time to learn

as dangerous and deadly as gunpowder.
One hour a day withdrawn from
frivolous pursuits, and profitably employ
ed, would enable any man of ordinary
capacity to master a complete science,
says an exchange, One hour a day would
make an ignorant man a well informed
man in ten years. One hour a day would
earn enough to pay for two daily and
two weekly papers, two leading maga
zines and a dozen good books. In an
hour a day a boy or girl could read
twenty pages thotfully over seventeen
thousand pages or eighteen volumes in a
year. Another hour a day might make
all the difference between bare existance
and useful, happy living. An hour a day
might make nay, has made, an unknown
man a famous one, a useless one a
benefactor to his race. Consider then,
the mighty possibilities of two. four, yes
six hours a day that are, on the average
thrown away by some of Our young men
and women in their desire for fun and
diversion.
