In one second, light travels about 300,000 km. But sound travels only 344 m. You can get some ides of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears.This great speed of light gives us some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km per minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonight s stars started on its journey to you before you were born.Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say, The stars are shining tonight.

That subject my father had written about again and again, as his main hope for us children, the center of American opportunity. Free education was the treasure that no thief could touch. Everyone in America would get free education, even the poor people could do so. It was the only thing he was able to promise us when he sent for us, more sure, safer than bread or shelter.

My father was out, but we five among us had a few words of English by this time. We knew the word school. We understood. This child, who had never seen us till yesterday, who could not pronounce our names,who was not much better dressed than we,was able to tell us the public schools in Boston! The doors stood open for every one of us. The smallest child even could show us the way. This thing impressed me more than anything I had heard before about the free education in America.
