PRAcTIcAL EDucATIoS.-We are happy TO
find that there is IN opinion prevailing more or
less throughout the community, that it is time the
course Of education in our seminaries should
have more practical tendency. Yale College
and Cambridge have now their professors of
agriculture. What would have been thought,
forty or fifty years ago. Of professor of agricul-
ture in one Of those stately old colleges. where
the sight Of farmer would have been consider
ed as much out of place as pig in pulpit =
We see It noticed in the journals Of the day,
that the trustees of the Union College contem-
plate such an extension of the existing course Of
studies to include the more useful application Of
science to the arts, such as civil and mechanical
engineering, agriculture, and agricultural ana
mechanical chemistry, &C., sc We hope that
the colleges throughout the Union will change
their course of studies in such way as to en-
brace practical course of the above named
sludies--Afdine Farmer.
