Madame A. Coionna IL Ornano,
At Charlottesville.
A SKETCH.
I'm Society, nothing ought to deserve
Il attention, in a greater degree,
than Education; aud especially in
country whose institutions are free, and
founded upon the equality of man, and
where, fortunately, 1t is the only dis
tinguishing characteristic, and conse.
quently one Of the greatest requisites
to elevate him to the most promi-
nent situation. Education, therefore,
should be in harmony with our Gus
toms, our wants, and even with our
prejudices.
Our first teachers, from whom we
imbibe the earliest aud most lasting
Impressions, are our mothers; i: is
therefore very essential to our future
welfare, that their instructions sbuld
emanate from source capable of
conveying it. 1t has been too much
the custom to overload the young
mind with empty words, and thereby
embarrass the progress Of Students.
They should be prepared gradually,
so as not to fatigue their budding
memories.
| To comprehend correctly the sim
plest rules, course of PRACTICAL ex-
crcises ought to be used, as we con.
ceive more easily that which is pre-
sented to our eyes than tnat which is
only presented to gu. Intellectual ia
culties in conformity to this maxim,
the Principal of this Institution will
use Comparative Tables, adapted to
, each class, and to every capacity, as
r references, in order to convey to the
mind clear and precise ideas, with
ease and facility. The use of Com
parative Tables will also exhibit the
, association of ideas in such manner
J that the learner will be enabled, In a
short time, to fill the blanks herself.
