EDUCATION AND INDIVIDV \Ii
I) E VELOPHFN T
The receut inaugural address of
• he new school-mastar Governor cf
Pennsylvania, Martin G. Brumbaugh,
in its emphasis of both a wider \t>
catioual as well as a deeper cul
tural training for every child in the
slate, has been received by that
commonwealth with general satisfac
tion, says the Chrifltain Scieu.-e
Monitor. It is a reminder, in these
days of school-master presidents
i'nd school-master governors and
state and city officials, of that ele
mental belief of Americans iu tue
open school-house door for ev
erybody, a. fair opportunity for men
tal development regardless of sta
tion, color or creed; and it is a re
newed hint that the American peo
ple have a genuine, even if at times
u vague, conviction that the high?!
iiecomes the level of intelligent,
the firmer will be the democracy.
We read in the constitution of
.Massachusetts of 17S0 as follows:
"Wisdom aud knowledge, as «ve!l
us virtue, diffused generally among
i he Deople. being necessary fcr the
preservation of their rights aud
liberties; and as these depend 3u
spreading the opportunities and ad
vantages of education in the various
"arts of the country, it shall be
the duty of legislatures. and
magistrates, to inculcate the prin
ciples of humanity and general beu
»volence, public and private chari
ties, industry and frugality, good
humor, and all social affections,
and generous sentiments, among the
people." Every American common
wealth has re-emphasized this
thought, in similar manner. The
West is not behind the East aad
couth Indeed statistics seem to
prove that the only states with
more than 90 par cent of Lae
> hildreti of school age in common
schools are Colorado, Nevada, Idaho
and Washington—all iu the far
West.
These elementary wchools of t'-.e
t'nited States, wherein raor^ than
three-fourths of all the children are
at school, are characterized not
only by efficiency but by a de.'P
sincerity, a sense of duty to th9
individual development of the stu
dent, for his own sake and for the
sake of the republic. American
teachers and parents have a pro
found belief in the power of educa
tion not only to Induce clear think
ing but also to form right character.
'i he attention of American education
las been fixed on the man; when
it has been otherwise the training
has been ineffective, the kind that
ic the enemy of the best. To
train the youth to have clear views
and to think Independently is vi
tal; still more is the cultivation
of wise and noble motives. The
greatest American schools and col
leges are rerftembered by their sous
and daughters, not only because
there young men and young womei
have received their vocational equip
ment, but also because these insti
tutions have opened for them the
.e;ljn of imagination and high
vision

ARCHIMEDES AND HIS LEVER.
The Feat of Raising the Earth From a
Scientific Viewpoint.
"Give me :i fulcrum and a place on
which to stand and 1 will raise the
earth from its placer' That Is a say
ing popularly attributed to Archimedes
If the required conditions were possi
ble the feat might be |>erforined. hut
Id addition to providing a fulcrum and
a place ou which to aland Archimedes
would also hare to be fn.nished an in
definite lease of life.
To raise the earth a Height of one
inch by the force v. hlch Archimedes
would have been capable of exerting
would take not only'an extremely loug
lever, but an est:finely long time, as
can be readily sIh.-vu.
We shall assume the following data
In our calculation: That the earth is
a sphere 7.920 inilo in diameter and
that 5.5 is Its mean Jeusity; also that
the lever has uo weight. Should we
design a real lever it would he of such
enormous size and weight that Ar
ehimedes' weight Would be a negligible
quantity.
If tiie earth Is 7.020 uiilea in dlarne
ter the volume Is about 201,000.000,000
cubic miles, or 38.400,000,090,000.000.
000.000 cubic feet, and If the densltj
is 5.5 the weight per cubic foot would
be about 344 pounds, which multiplied
by the volume would give as the
weight of the earth 13.200.t!<>0.000,000.
000,000,000.000 pounds. We shall as
sume, further, that Archimedes weigh
ed 150 pounds aud that "the place on
which to stand*' was some distant
star; then. If the fulcrum Is one mile
from the point of application of the
lever to the earth the length of the
power arm of the lever, or the dis
tance of Archimedes' "standing place,'"
would have to be SS,004.(HX),000.<KK>.
000,000.000 miles
To move the earth a distance of one
inch Archimedes' end of the level
would have to move through a dis
tance of 1.388.000.000.000.000.(100 miles
Now, if Archimedes should take bold
of the end of the lever and apply his
weight of 150 pounds to It aud should
move off Into space with the velocity
of light, or ISM.000 miles a second. II
would take him 237.000 years to fin
tab the job he pn>i>osed, so that now
nearly 2.200 years after making the
famous dictum, he would barely have
started the undertaking.—C. O. Sand
