perience poured forth from ,ducitors Of all grades,
from the private the public the 'a'och'al school,
up to the best Of our universities thus tending
essentially to that harmonious unity so desirable
in the educational effort of any country. The
effects Of the meeting are siee-spread, and the
impressions of the occasion deep. All Of the
reports and papers are annually published, which
will, in few years, swell to a collection Of great
volume and importance while it VIII be both re-
/ liza lie and entertaining.
1t Is under such auspices as these, that the
present session Of the american Association" is
opened IN this City. It assumes, as its name sig
nlhes, brotherhood with the great american As
sociauon for the Advancement OF Science, of
which 1t is an essential and beautiful member.
IL ESSAYS az great and noble results not at the
discovery Of ner scientific truth or facts, but at
/ the Development n these ,chea discovered and
/ their diffusion hrOug kOut me ,rorld for the COM
mon BE- neft of all classes and conditions of the hui
nan family, rich and poor, educated and unedu-
cated; and thus must prove quite as essential an
e ment in great national march Of civilization
as the other Association.
Such Associations work not for day. They
have no tempouzing political jugglery to accom-
plish at the moment or ever. They cast the
bread Of philaAthropic faith upon the waters of
earnest effort, and look for Il reward to the great
unborn generations who are soon to bless our
tereGc,nce and hbsralIty, or deplore our narrow
hearted faithleSs selfshneSs. The men who con-
duet it and give it its vigor and interest arc
earnest and deep experienced in the hard-iought
battles of years, and prepared, consequently, to
advise the forming American mind of this all.ab-
sorbng topic OF public interest. 1t is also truly
American reaching 20 the Canadas on tho
north, and 10 Mexico the south. Ii asks only
the lights OF experience seeks copies; know
no prestige; discusses the peculiar wants of our
peculiar country and decides by right Judgment.
Such an Association of such men, cannot fail
leaving by its works a deep Impress on all coming
time; and although silent and unpretending, can
not fail ensting the abiding sympathies of all tho
great and the good.
