N Socisty, nothing ought to deserve
u 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, At is the only dis
tIngulshing characteristic, and conse.
quently one of the greatest requisite,
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 and most lasting
Impressions, are our mothers; it is
therefore very essential to our future
welfare, that their instructions should
emanate from a source capable of
conveying it. 1t has been too much
the custom to overload the young
mind with empty words, and thereby
emoarrass 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 that which is
only presented to our intellectual ia,
cultles: in conformity to this maxim.
the Principal of this Institution will
use Comparative Tables, adapted to
each class, and to every capacity, as
references, in order to convey to the
mind clear and precise ideas. with
ease and facility. The use of Conn
paratlve Tables will also exhibit the
association of ideas in such a manner
that the learner will be enabled IN a
short time, to fill the blanks herself.
