The Associative idea must be infused into the
enchanted world around Us, and all the bonds in

Mr.. c. spoke Of the justice done 70 Woman as
the popularity of this movement Here all the
questions at presen. moOted in Society relating
to her sphere and duties find at once practica al
solution, for here the co-sovereisnty OF woman
with man is fully recognized. and she finds her
place in the harmonic life. Mr.. c. closed with
this toast to Woman:

in parental devotion, loyal follow brave TO lead In
collective duty 10 her harmony OF insuncts and the unity
Of holiness type Of Heaven On earth. To Woman.
This met at once with neat and graceful re.

here where women were regarded not merely as

life Of man should be.
The children were addressed by one Of the
friends from Boston, in q tone Of sfiectonate en-
coursgement and trustfulness, and the hope ex-
pressed that some one would soon appear by
whom they would be led through the green pas
lures and by the still waters of an integral edu
ton. The speaker intended no dsparsgement Of
plished teacher whose services in the school aud
in the instruction Of classes all appreciated
but be simply meant TO hold up that high idea OF
thorough culture Of the whole nature, which
every true sssociGtionist regards essential, and
which OF course can only be realized when we
have the facilities which increased capital and
numbers will afford, and by the advent of a true
Captain ofjuvenie industry who should make La

The hall again was filed in the evening with
merry dancers, and as in the DISCUSSES OF fancy
ball men, women and children, apparently OF all
ages and nations mingled in harmonious move
ment, it seemed a fitting type of thsS universal
brotherhood and good will 10 which they were

Ii 10 the intention Of the Phalsnx to organize a
system Of integral education, on the principles be.
fore alluded TO- as soon as the necessary arrange
ments can be carried into effect. An additional
investment Of capital will be necessary for this
purpose, in order to erect the requisite buildings
and provide suitable apparatus, furniture fixtures,
&c. The friends Of Association, who take a spe.
cial interest in the educational system which
forms one Of its distinctive features, will do well
TO give their attention 70 this proposal. A com.
petens practical teacher, accustomed to the de-
tails OF education, and imbued with the Associa.
tive spirit might render valuable service to the
cause by engaging in the contemplated enterprise.
The most striking denomination that can be Civ.

cipes is found in their application to juvenile cul.
