This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from About the Weather Looking more carefully at the difference between the two directions of the new education we can see what each accomplishes. There is first an effort to train the original powers of the individual and make him self-active, quick at observation, and free in his thinking. Next, the new education endeavors, by the reading of books and the study of the wisdom of the race, to make the child or youth a participator in the results of experience of all mankind.

Astronomer Botanist meteorologist
Mark Harrington was born on August 18, 1848, at Sycamore, Illinois, United States, the son of James Harrington, a practising physician, and Charlotte (Walrod) Harrington.
Mark was educated at the Northwestern University and the University of Michigan, receiving from the latter the degrees A. B. , 1868, and A. M. , 1871. In 1876-1877 he was a student in Leipzig.
Mark Harrington was officially connected with the University of Michigan from 1868 to 1876, serving as assistant curator of the Museum, and ultimately teaching a range of subjects including mathematics, geology, zoology, and botany. The summer of 1871 he spent in Alaska as astronomical aid to the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey.
In 1877 he went to China as professor of astronomy in the cadet school of the Foreign Office in Peking. In 1878 he returned, owing to ill health, and for one year he was on the faculty of the University of Louisiana. In 1879 he became professor of astronomy and director of the observatory at the University of Michigan. He left this position to become chief of the United States Weather Bureau, on July 1, 1891, but on June 2, 1895, he was removed, and for the next two years he was president of the University of Washington. Harrington also established the American Meteorological Journal and was its acting editor from 1884 until 1892.
On September 16, 1898, Harrington reentered the Weather Bureau and was sent to San Juan, Porto Rico, as section director. Unequal to the duties of the place, in the following March he was transferred to New York City, where on June 2, 1899, he retired from public service owing to failing mental and physical health. Shortly afterward, in 1899, he left home to attend a dinner and until 1908 was lost save for one or two strangely worded letters and an occasional news item indicating that a learned and cheerful philosopher was working in a lumber camp, on a sugar plantation, or in a shipyard. He had wandered far and wide, even to China, but at last, in June 1907, he applied for shelter at a police station in Newark, New Jersey. Being unable to identify himself, he was committed to an asylum where his reputation for great learning led to his identification the following year by his wife, Rose (Smith) Harrington, and his son. For a time he showed marked improvement, but never became well enough to be discharged.

Harrington was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
But however useful Harrington was in government service, his tenure of office was not happy. He was the first civilian chief of the Weather Bureau and, coming from an academic institution, did not exercise the army discipline which had prevailed when it was a portion of the Signal Service. With his authority thus undermined, his usefulness as an executive was seriously impaired.
Harrington was married to Rose (Smith) Harrington with whom he had a son.
