ought to be done but not to leave tho Lliec
entirely undone.—t he customary regula
tions aixl management expose many failings
in our seminaries of juvenile instruction;
tut their cause*, appear not to have been so
often or so early *ei n. Change of insti uclorg
is as profitable for youth as change of pas
ture is for calves. Noveity is pleasing to
younger minds and operates very powerful
ly to enlist the thoughts on tile side of obser
vation. Die face of a new instructor, the
thought of new schoolbooks and the right
of new regulations fondly seiie their atten
tion and lead them to anticipate some new
pleasure or some new source of curiosity {
their fickleness is natural and their desire dt’
change is no fault; and w c .» such cogent
reasons are manifest, it t» cc a duty to
comply if interest is not * . o much opposed.
—The requisite pay hr a temporary instruct
tor may fairly be calculated at on* half
what a gentleman of abilities and ed-iCiticrt
must absolutely require who would settle
down for years to the faithful discharge of
bis business.' Many young men might be
found who, m seaports and cities, would
willingly labor a quarter for no greater com
pensation than thor board. Then why th.t
useless expense of salat y-men when our
children c»n be so much netter suited at so
much less cost ? A steady instructor’s regu
lations, that good order anti regularity may
1 be observed, ihust necessarily be more
! qti'ici and severe, or he w uld he dr.ven
fr iro hi* little throne ; and ’.is truly idle to
ray, that a respectable man requites a res
pectable price. Great salai ies may do for
great men and in old countries ; but the
witds of Maine cannot air .id to import ty
ranical and aristocratical laiihioos. In tin*
land of Liberty, this renowned astyltim i t
