IGNORANCE AND EDUCATION
The following article was handed
us by our enterprising furniture
man, Mr. E. L. Hamilton. It was
found by his little daughter, Fan
nie on the floor of the court house
in Memphis. The writer’s name
is unknown.
A storm raged on the ocean.
The waves pitched mountainous
high and great gulfs yawned be
tween them. Forks of lightning
illumined the terrible tumult, fol
lowed by crashes of thunder that
seemed to come from the depths
of hell, while the wind shrieked
and howled like tormented spirits
of that underground prison.
I sat on a high rock and watched
the storm, and the heaving uurest
of these physical elements remind
ed me of the unrest of men’s souls.
The waves whipped the rocks be
neath me mercilessly, breaking ofi
great fragments in their fury, and
tearing out bushes and trees that
grew in the soil filled crevices be
tween them.
“So,” I thought, “are men
whipped and torn and dashed
about on life’s seething billows.”
As I was thinking on this the
storm abated and the noise grew
less. Light appeared—not that
caused by flashes of lightniug, but
a dim, steady light that told of the
clearing of the storm. The waves
dashed spasmodically, seemingly
I . _
tired out by their rough play, and
yet uuwilling to cease altogether.
The wind made low, rumbling
sounds around the rocks, but these
rumblings grew fainter and fainter,
and then died away.
“The storm has passed,” I said,
“and there is promise of light,”
but it was still dim and clouds
covered the sun.
As I sat on the rock and looked
out over the now almost calm
ocean, I thought of the storm that
had been, and which, now that it
had passed, seemed like an un
reality. “And so in life.” I
thought, “the storms gather and
burst aud grow dim, but the dim
ness often remains.”
A mist gathered before me. aud,
as I looked, this mist took form
and become a picture—a hideous
picture—that made me shudder.
“Oh, what can it mean!” 1 ex
claimed.
A voice above me asked, “What
do you see?”
“I see a gaunt woman seated on
a rickety chair” I answered, ‘and
holding to her breast a scrawny
babe that nurses and cries by turns.
The poor woman tries to soothe it
but it only screams the louder and
while nursing digs its fingers into
her flesh. She does not flinch but
tries to quiet the child.”
“What does this poverty strick
en picture mean?” I asked, look
ing up for the voice that had spok
en to me. I could see no one but
the same voice answered with anoth
er question. “Is that all you see?
it asked. I looked up shuddering
ly at the picture and said, “No, I see
two boys fighting at the woman’s
feet. Over the back of her chair
hangs a pale, thin girl, scarcely
able to stand, even by the assist
ance of the chair, and this poor
child holds by the hand another
thin girl, smaller than herself, who
pulls the hand she holds and cries
with a weak voice. Back of the
woman’s chair, to the right, I see
two large girls making faces at one
another j while also, back of her
chair, to the left, I see a young
man with a brutal face, who is
shakiug his fist at the woman. It
seems to be a family group but
oh, such a terrible oue! Please
tell me what it means and take it
away.” “It is a family group,”
said the voice. The woman’s name
is Ignorance, and the others are
her children. The babe at her
breast is Folly, and you see how
stormy he is and how he digs into
his mother’s flesh even in infancy.
.The two boys wrangling at her feet
are Theft and Falsehood. The girl
hanging over her chair is Want and
the child she holds by the hand is
Hunger. The large girls back of
her are Defamation aud Avarice
and the brother shaking his fist
near them is Murder. This is the
family of Ignorance, and if you
look again you will see her hus
band.” I looked and saw a sliag
| gy man entering the group. His
| face was dark and lowering, his
I hands had nails like claws and his
whole appearance was unkempt and

loathsome. Indeed, he seemed like
a heavy cloud descending upon the
already unhappy family. As he
approached, the others shrank vis
ibly and some of the children tried
to hide. As the woman saw him
she shuddered and there was no
love in her face for this companion
of her life. “What is his name?”
I asked. “It is Lust,” answered
the voice, “and this is the family
of Ignorance and Lust.” I buried
my face in my hands to avoid look
ing at the group again, and groaned
aloud. “I agree that it is not a
pretty picture,” said the voice,
“but if you will uncover your face
and look again I will show you a
better one.” I looked up and a ray
of sunlight burst through the mist,
and as I looked a picture appeared
in the ray. I gazed upon this new
scene rapturously, for it was beau
tiful and made my heart glad after
the hideous one I had so lately
seen. This also showed a mother
surrounded by her children, but a
mother enthioned. She was a rad
iantly beautiful woman of middle
age, or more, and the children re
flected her beauty in their different
ages. In her lap lay a lovely bade
who kicked his dimpled legs and
feet in the air and held his chubby
hand up to be kissed and fondled.
She smiled .upon him with mother
ly pride and kissed the rosy hand.
In a happy circle at her feet played
a group of five children and their
musical voices and merry games
pleased the mother for she fre
quently smiled at them and encour
aged them by helpful suggestions
in their play. Back of her chair
stood a beautiful youth and maiden
talking to a bearded man of
strength and appollo-like beauty.
He looked upon the children as

pleased as did the mother, ana I
knew he must be the father.
“Tell me the names of these beau
tiful creatures,” I asked of the
voice, and it answered: “This wo
man is Education and her husband
is Love. The children are all
theirs. The group of boys and
girls playing in the circle are, be
ginning with the oldest, Truth,
Virtue, Honesty, Helpfulness and
Joy, and the babe on the mother’s
lap is Contentment. Knowledge
is the sturdy youth back of her
chair and the maiden, not so bold
as he, is Wisdom. Are they not
fit children of Love and Educa
tion!” 1 saw the mo ther turn to
