too much upon the plan of a dull and insipid

The object of this brief article is to advert
to two prominentdefeclsin the present modes
of instruction generally adopted. LIST. The
memory of the pupil is burdened beyond
what the understanding apprehends. 1t is
frequently the case that children at school
can repeat a great deal in their grammar and
geography, &C., and still do not understand
the meaning or application Of the language
employed. Now words are signs OF Ideas
thew are the means Of conveying thought,
and Of imparting knowledge. A pupil should
never be permitted to 60 over a number oil
sounds and forms, in which he sees no mean,
ing, and by which his mind receives no
strength. The effect Of this mode OF instruc,
ton is to give an undue and d~lsproPortlon,
ate strength to the memory, to the neglect ol
the other faculties of the mind-the think.
ing powers-the reason and Judgment. And
