For the Argus.

To Door. CUTLAB,
Sir believing you to be devoted admi-
rer of the sciences, and likewise deeply imbu-
ed with their principles, take the liberty of
addressing myself to you, upon the subject of
inceptiye education. am especially DESTROYS
to do so, beCauseI am well satisfied of your
capability to decide, with something like pre-
cission, upon the advantages, and disadvanta-
ges of the different systems of teaching the
young idea how TO shoot" But more Farti-
Cularly ANXIOUS to address myself to you, be-
cause Of your disposition 10 further and promote
the modefnly improved system Of education,
known by the appellation of the aFellenburg,
or PRODUCTIVE system of teaching"
You are aware that scientific Germany is
the land, which gave birth to this philosophical
and chronological system. You are aware also,
doubtless, that this very same system has been
the means of advancing the peasantry of Ger
many, to their present elevated position IN art,
science, letters, and refnement.-lndeed the
system, which has developedthe mental pow
ers of the Germans with such unparalleledce-
lerity, that boys of the age of 10 and II; are
better philosophers and scholars, than their
sires were, under the old mole f teaching, at
25 and 80. Hence the reason, Why Germany
prodnces, annually, some severalhundred thou
| sand more volumes of original vorks,than any
other nation on the Globe.-Hsnce also the
reason why every man, almost, n that country
has an intimate acquaintance with most OF the
physical sciences, including even Zoology, Or
anthology, Entomology, Phys iology &c. Agar
why it is that the Germans. as people, are
almost century in advance ofthe English II
letters and sciences. ~
But to the principal object of this communl
: cato n. There it seems to be such total mis-
apprehension q might almost say-lgncrance
in the community, about "the productive sys
tenn" as taught by Mr. P'*'''s, in our city
, that am induced to call upon you to give t
: seur felIow-citizens a detailed explanation 0
: ;ts superior adaptedness to the young-Of 1T
,dvanta res in enlarging the powers of the min
-oftbe facility with which education may B
: completed by this system and finllly that 70
NAV dssipate the prejudices which exist IN OF
city, against early moral and rl''ntal improve
: ment. Ineed hardly say to you, that the Pr'
8 iudices of many of our citizens against tn
0 Row Mr. P*t***t's mode of teaching are
! great, that they deridingly, call Mr. P'''''
! g a Frog dissection the system Ofteaching u
9 newly patented steam plan" and others s.
e in the same deriding way, that our worthy e
: low citizen Judge F'*** is run mad with U
! snew steam system" Ofteaching.
S Now then, with view OF counteracting y
malevoIent and silly prejndices Ofthose PersO'
q who make remarks ike the above quoted on
q I call upon you, in the name Of philanthropy
l. give the public, through the columns OF one
4 our city papers, your views upon the " feile
. burg, or productive system Of teaching.
