"The BAR is fast losing its attractions
to the young men Of this city. There are
now thirty young gentlemen that have re-
ceivcd liberal educations who are serving
their times as shipwnghts, architects, car
penters, &c. In few years the United
States will have the most accomplished
mechanics in the world. A new class is
springing up who win put the present race
Of mechanics in the shade. The union of
a Substantial education with mechanical
skill will effect this. Indeed, already we
could name some mechanics who are ex-
cellent mathematicians, acquainted with
French and German, and able to study the
books in those languages connected with
their vocation. Heretofore fond father.
were wont to educate their sons as doc.
tors or lawyers, to ensure their RESPONSE
bility and success. That day is past. Me
chanics will now take the lead, and in
few years will supply the largest portion o
