bline and correction in the Master, under those
circumstances, was trespass u ct GrDtiS.
The cause was of such a peculiar natuTe,
and the grounds upon which it was placed,
so strange, that the Bar, and even the Bench
were astonished, and oftentimes convulsed at
the novelty and singularity of the scene.
The gentlemen, who instituted and argued
the cause, possess peculiar powers, and if
they fail to edify, seldom conduct cause
without amusing their professional brethren.-
The gentleman, who opened the cause, urged
with characteristick ability, that every Mas
ter, who had not passed the ordeal of examina-
ton before the Clergyman or Selectmen of the
town, and had not his certificate of qualifca.
tions in his pocket, was, Qike military officer
without his commission,) dispossessed not on-
ly of the sine qua non, but was trespasser;
and if he shut the door against the northwest
winds, while his scholars were enclosed, it
was false anapTis0nnaent-nor could the "nnok
liter mMs,,ts inaposuit,'' be urged in mitigation
of damages. The Senior Counsel had .sb-
stantially the same ground, and perhaps no
cause, good or bad, ever before rested under
such load of pathOS and bathOs. In the
course of the argument, liberty, "a thing
which has been spoken of betore) was ex-
planned and approved; and our laws, making
it duty in School Masters to obtain a certiE-
cate from the Selectmen, was considered Of
vital Importance" Major heredilas remit
anaicuiqle .nostrum jrIre ct Iegjdsts, guam a
pnrentibus." 90
If a Master, (said the Orator. before he OBJ
tains a certificate of his qualifications, is per-
mitted to apply the ferule to the hands of
those over whom he has usurped the control,
all our boasted Liberties are sapped to the very
foundation and the blood of Warren was
split in vain-(perhaps, too, of Muddy and
White,) and if this is sound doctrine, who
knows but Carer and Standish froze their
toes on Plymouth Beach to no purpose.
The Plaintiff lost his cause but this was
owing rather to the defects of the subject
matter, than Of the Counsel concerned.-

Implicit obedience in children, is indispen-
sable. Subordination and discipline in schools,
is but the earnest of that obedience to salu-
tary laws, which characterizes the upright
citizen.
The meaning of the law is, that those
whom we voluntarily place over our children
as Instructors. shall exercise the same author
ity as would be proper for ourselves and a
correct parent will never fail to interpret any
doubtful act of authority in favour Of the
Master. 1t is important that every Instructor
should be well qualified, and that this fact
should be known; but such test, by the Sc
lectmen or Clergyman, neither takes from nor
adds to their power to govern.

The population of New-Erg!and and
New-York, in 1920, was 3,O32, 1855, of
which number, Massachusetts contained
only $685. 87, or about one sixth part
of the whole. From the above state
ment it appears, that Massachusetts, fur
nishes 518 Students for the different
Colleges, which is about 900 more than
her proportion according to her popu-
lation. This factis highly creditable to
that State, as it proves that the advanta-
ges of a liberal education are duly estim-
ated by the great mass Of her citizens.
Ii every part of the United States fur
nlshed Students in the same proportion,
the whole number at the different Colv
ieges would be 10,0O0-and if one half
of these were preparing for the min
istry, as was the case in the Colleges at
Cambridge and New Haven, for the first
century after the settlement of New
England, the annual supply of literally
educated ministers, from all our Col
leges, would be more than 1000. We
presume to say that the actual number
at present falls short of 200.

we may safely predict, that when he

and that he will find in the ranks of
