mr. Of the Moral Faculties" We give digest Of
he leading points Of the Address:
The lecturer demonstrated the importance Of the
uoper training of the Moral Faculties to the
scholar, the Citizen and the Republic. A perfect
sSucatioH implies full, harmonious develops ent
Il the physical, intellectual and moral powers Of
Nan While the first two departments have received
md are still receiving a cOmnendRble degree OF
stention the latter has been strangely neglected
n every age Of the world. The strength and sta
Nity OF Republic depend not 90 much upon its
aaiutes and constitution as upon tho sentiments
nd morals of the people Hence, to strengthen
Zee Government and perpetOate it's Institutions,
he heart OF the body polite must be purified We
must besin with the elements of Society; we
must go back TO the great laboratories OF moral
character, the nursery and the school.room.-Let
he moral powers OF the people be inactive or per
verted let the sense of justice be ehaced from the
popular mind, and the cords OF mutual obligation
and dependence bet xeen rulers and the people be
bfokeD and the spirit Of dsorga alton is at onbe
awakened. Ii is not too much TO say that moral
culture is one of the chief corner. stones OF the
whole social system-that without il, neither indi
vidusl nor national happiness can be expected and
10 form Of government can be permanent and
pnsperous
