Industrial Education.

We are happy to find that the Education As
sociation, at its late session in Cleaveland, ap-
pointed committee to report on the relation
between Education and Industrial interests. DR..
Lord, ofColumbus, made the motion, and Messrs-
Sears, Barnard and Biddle, were appointed.
Mr.. Barnard built up the school system of Rhode
Island, and has long been at the head of educa-
ton in Connecticut. We have advocated the
idea that collegiate education can be obtained
by every child, without expense to the state or
individuals-an education that will combine
thorough physical, as well as mental, discipline,
and be self-sustaining the labor of the students
at four hours per day, can pay their board, and
the salaries of professors. This is no more Ia
Dor than each should perform for exercise, and
if rightly managed 1t would defray all expense,
and afford education alsoin some mechanical
branch or in agriculture. If it can be organ
lied, it would afford advantages never before
enjoyed by students, and save almost the whole
expense of education.
We need not be told that the system has been
tried it has not been tried any were under the
sun-unless among some of the sects of Gre
clan Philosophers. 1t was not tried at O5erin
"a College that is said to have been most
thoroughly on the manual-labor system. They
did not approach the system, and their failure,
and all other failures of the kind, do not bear
upon the system.-.NonpereH.
