more universal on either continent than the par
tial or defective application Of public funds pro-
yided for their use. A step so certain TO awaken
general interest and to enlighten the public mind
could not fail to suggest some better mode, or to
correct some defects in applying funds provided
for all. Third, the development Of mineral and
other natural resources. Collections likely to be
made within q week after receiving a cabinet,
properly labelled, arranged, and described, must
amount to many times its cost. Discoveries would
also be made, not unfrequently Of rich ores, use
fol minerals, and beautiful gems, furnishing val
liable resources to farmers, mechanics and artists
Fourth, the advancement Of farming interests. No
one step could probably meet directly or so eff
fectually the desire now common among farmers
for agricultural science. Every farmer, still bet
ter, farmers sons, might be put in q way to an.
slyze their own soils, land directed to the most
available resources and the best modes of i'm
proving them. To these four advantages certain
to arise from cabinets of agricultural Ssy for
schools, many others might be added - each
Of these must exceed many times the cost Of the
outlay, more cannot be needed.
EXPERIMENTS four years since, the pu-
pills of the New York schools were requested by
their Superintendent and Trustees to make collec-
lions fer their schools and their homes. Within
three weeks from the time Of that request no less
than fifteen thousand Family Museums were COM
menoed, each containing specimens showing the
elements of mountains, rocks aud soils, with other
natural and artificial curiosities A similar re-
quest by Superintendent and Trustees of schools
generally throughout the country must soon rem

most interesting, of household utensils

AGRICULTURE AND MECHANISM.

Below ia No. 30 of the popular series of essays
on Agricultural Geology, by Mr.. Holorook The
subject of this number is particularly appropriate
at this season of the year, the opening Of spring
especially so, both to schools and families at the
I" heart of the nation" "CABINsTs OF NATURE
AND ARTn is the subject Of this number. Most
of the schools, and very many Of the families, in
Washington, have made beginning in collecting
specimens for their use Some such collections
are large and valuable. As nearly the whole
country is represented by the residents Of Wash
ngton, they can readily procure from their friends
abroad rich variety Of specimens to increase
their collections.
Great additional interest csn be given to mine
rails by models of crystals made Of pasteboard, by
young hands, giving at the same time great skill
in mechanism. In the public school in the charge
of Mrs Hinton we have witnessed great variety
Of such models made by her pupils, afording to
them the richest possible amusement, with the
most substantial knowledge Something of the
kind evidently ought to be, and most certainly
| will be, introduced into all schools throughout
| the country
Drawing is a species Of mechanism, and highly
| important TO farmers-for mechanics indispensa-
BILE as the work in many shopsis done entirely from
| drawings, no models being used. AT the Agri-
cultural Fairs, to be held next autumn, drawings
of animals, plants, and implements used by farm
ers, will doubtless be furnished in large numbers
and rich varieties, produced by young hands, both
| in schools and families, for that specific object.

and trustees, have Jointly recommended the meas

AGRICULTURAL GEOLOGY. NO. 20.
BY JOSIAH HoLBRooK.

Schools gave the FIRST impetus to geological sur
veys. The impetus thus given has led to iegisla-
tive action for such surveys In almost every state
In the Union. BY such action the treasures OF
wealth and Of science have been increased TO an
unbounded extent Thousands upon Thousands
OF scientific collections have been made hosts OF
scientific men have been raised up, now scattered
over our whole country, and hidden treasures OF
wealth brought to view for the special benefit OF
farmers, and, directly or indirectly, Of every
American citizen
The unparalleled progress made from such
humble beginnings, in the advancement Of these
Two great national Objects science and wealth, rem
ders the completion or further progress OF the
work easy and certain. The schools Of the coun-
try indeed Of all countries certain TO be fur
nished with CABINETS OF NATURE AND ART ss
instruments Of primary instruction thus giving
10 young minds at their start after knowledge
real substantial ideas, instead Of the signs Of
ideas As many thousand such collections have
already been made by the pupils needing them,
both at school and at home, by the aid of these,
tens and hundreds of thousands will soon be added
to the number. At least, q CABINET or AsRI-
CULTURAL GEoLoeY must inevitably soon be
placed in each Of the hundred thousand Of Amer
lean Enthusiastically, IL not literally.
From such provision, four advantages are
evident, each making large returns for the out
lay. First, increased qualifications Of teachers
eli teachers. Such cabinet properly explained
by manual, must increase knowledge and awaken
mind in any teacher using 1t, giving increased
value 10 his instructions far beyond in COST To
a certain extent, IL might give TO every teacher
the advantage OF q normal school, brought to his
own door, and into his own field Of labor. Second

funds Probably no complaint touching schools II
