ihai lie cane from the duties imposed upon him by
miners manufacturers and otheIs-from the salts
and oompounds Of the iaboratory-to address few
thoughts on "The Cultivation Of the Sciences in the
| u!.Ct States" Science, he said might be defined
as the tandnad of the Arts, and 1t is certainly
Maid of Honor for II ministers to the civilization Of
Civilization has no existence without 1t.
The time has long since passed when the dignity OF
Science is rochonod by It's uselessness. No longer
is learning banishcd from the workshop, and shut up
III col>ttTcd cells. No longer is Science confined TO
The halls of learning, 10 be wondormcnt to the ~
noraIt, but i becoming known III our MINES, facto
mes and our workshops, TO stimulate the forces and
10 tnistten the masses of society. He had heard
lhi Beta Kappa orator once say that " II Was not
worth while for scholar TO busy himself over the
vibrations OF a balance" But II is well known that
accuracy Is indispensable 10 Science, and he ranked
the researches and discoveries Of practical and theo
rtca Science above The rendering and construction
Of two dead languages.
TIE lecturer proceeded to speak of Brown Unver-
and the course there pursued A young man could
Quaiy himself for one of the practical professions
without first being obliged to have two letters put al
ter ms Lame, To be substituted BY two others when
hc has forgotten his Greek The time must soon
come when the democracy OF Science would remove
-Cmo Of the auiiquatcd institutions of the past He
OF octed 10 the cea that smattering of two dead
languages, and mcle smatterlns Of moral anc
Intellectual philosophy, constituted liberal educa'
ton.
n We cannot effect what We require in She ole let
new institutions of learning be established adapted
10 tie wants OF the age. Let them be open TO ali
Who desire 10 learn, and lei the common high schools
prepare The stucont ior,he lecture rooms and ecuca-
Oual courses Of the new Universities. IL ) neces-
Saly IL the present time that our students be maze
familiar with Tie processes OF the iaDoiaioLy 'he
discoveries Of geology, ard the operations Of prac-
teal science. Let the unfourdod preJudee> against
book leaning be swept away, ey making books more
WORTHY OF beng READ. Itl pidCift anu tutotN Oc
