the children, and render their government
easy.
1t Is obvious TO every experienced in
slructor in the old system, aud to aH who
recollect the hours of their own pupilage,
tha. large proportion OF child's school
time is spent 10 no valuable effect. The
new system admits no loss Of time. The
arrangement OF the lessons is such, ths,
monitors manage the sections, and thus
the whole school is kept continually in
exercise. Aside from tie benefits i'm
mediately resulting from this continual
application. we cannot but coincide in
opinion, that habits of industry thus
early formed have lasting influence" I"
TIE obiectionssraised against this sys-
sem are ,rious, and have been a subject
Of some discussion in the British period
icsl miscellanies but we now view them
sufficiently obviated, by the success of
numerous experiments. The spirit Of
enlularion. which is generally raised to a
high pitch in these schools, has been object
ed to, as an unheilowed principle. Mr.
Bahington, in his /" Practical View of
Christian Education" takes decided stand
against it. Whether emulaiion be, or 5s
not iustifable mean to excite scholars
to application, we are not disposed here to
decide. We do not, however, view i. more
necessarily connected with the new system,
than the old In both cases il is left TO the
option of the instructor, to promote or res
train il. Ii the new system were no less
expensive than the old, We should give it
preference, from its facilitating the business
ofinstruction, and more rapidly advancing
the pupils. Ii is, however. not unworthy
of consideration. that the new system is so
Capacious, it may embrace several hun
dreds 10 one school, superintendent by one
Instructor: consequently, half the expense,
necessary to educate an equal number on
the old system, is saved. This is not a
visionary heory: the sys,sm has been es-
isblished ia England long enough to devel
ope ali the advantages ascrlbed TO it and
BY force OF its own merits, is extending
ilsslf all over Europe Gae.

Reflections on Separaiion-No. 5.

By the Governors Proclamation issued &C
cordng to the act authorizing the Separation
of Maine from Massachusetts Proper on the
conditions and upon the contingency therein
provided, the fact is officially announced. that
the legal excess Of suffrages required for that
purpose is obtained and The Inhabitants of
the several towns in the district are accor-
dinghy summoned to choose delegates TO meet
in convention foF The purpose OF establishing
aaconsttution
The actual excess Of votes given on this
occasionis ascertained to be about ten thou
sand aud including those Of single town
rejected on the score of informality, IS really
upwards of that amount The aggregate,
from which this plurality IS extracted, is not
much more than double and out OF total
amount of "A, 900 votes, 1000 have decided
the question IN favour Of the Separation
This astonishing result has certainly sur
passed the most sanguine expectations Of
those, who were most ardent in support OF
the measure. 1t has been carried victoriousIy
upon the shields and shoulders of the people,
and placed at distance safe from all attack
Tar beyond the reach Of obloquy or impeacll-
ment. II is impossible TO regard it in any
other light and il becomes matter of princi-
pie 10 conduct accordingly. The clrcum-
stance IS fortunate in several respects. Among
others as ascertaining the public sentiment,
and precludng the triumph Of party. Ii also
establishes the propr.ety and vindicaies TIE
motives of the measure, anu promises TO have
an suspicious influence upon It's consequen-
