the first year, the boys taught reading writing

mar, mathematics, and the clements of agricul-
ture and during the third and fourth agricul-
ture practically as we'll as theoretically, and
mechanics. Besides these branches they are in
structed in trades which may be useful to the
farmer, such as tailoring, shoe making, cabinet
making, cooperage, blacksmiths, and carpenter S
work, and in the construction ofagricultural ma
chimes. A foundry, brickyard, pottery. tan
yard, a candle and soap factory, and a windmill
are attached to the school. 1t is not required
that each stu,snt shall pursue all these branches.
The teachers to judge the aptitude of each
pupil, and to direct him accordingly-but every
one upon leaving the establishment is expected
to possess thorough acquaintance with the gen.
eral principles and practice of agriculture, and
competent knowledge of the collateral branches.
At the last exposition of the agricultural pro-
ducts of Russia, at st. Petersburg the various
objects sent in by this school excited great atten-
ton. The feathers, in particular, of so fine
a guilty that they were selected for exhibition in
the Worlds Far of London in 1851.
Public instruction was commenced in Russia as
far back as inthe early part ofthe 18th century
but it was no. until the time of Peter the Great
that it began TO take the shape and direction it
has since ASSUMED. In 1924, he founded the Aca-
of Sciences atSt Petersburg ;he had alredy estab-
lished the firsinaval school Inl755 the Empress
Elizabeth founded the University of Moscow, the
oldest in Russia, and in1157 the Academy of
Arts Catharine 2 founded the college of Moscow
in 1903, the college of St. Petersburg in 1872
and in 1888, the Russian Academy, which now
forms the second division ofthe Academy of Scien-
ceS.
Paul established, in 1899, the Academy of sur
gerry and Medicine. In 1902, Alexander created
the Office of Minister OF Public instruction, ami
mated by d,sire to raise the moral level of his
people In 1904, he founded an Engineers school
and two unKersities-that ofKasaw and Char
kow-and continued, until the end fhis reign to
give great attention TO the subject Of education.
Among otherfoundations which the Russians owe
to him are the school for the Deaf and Dumb, the
Orphan Asylum of Gatschina, and the College
of Midwiyes

EDENSBURG, Friday, OCTOBER q, 1853.

the North American Phalanstery is the want of
manly sincerity in the leading men.
But the vice is general throughout American
society. 1t seems to natural consequence
of the too-much prolonged attempt to '' believe
in the incredible" succeeded by public profess
sion of what the mind is ultimately compelled to
recognise as 20 inconsistent with known facts. F."
The decay of real religious faith, indeed, is, am
convinced, at the bottom of much of the social
misery existing in this country. The people
have lost their old faiths, and with them the ba-
sis Of their moral sentiments, and have found no
new ones. Hence the general decay ofthe moral
sentiment !; for it is Mrs. Grundy alone who
keeps society together here, The moral senti-
ment is low indeed; an unbridled selfshness rules
over all. Personal interest is, in these days,
coming TO be regarded-and not in this country
alone-as the sole motive worthy of rational
man. | am well assured that man who pre-
tended to be actuated by any other, would be
distrusted throughout all commercial circles.
Is it any wonder, then, that woman suffers =
woman, our moral providence With the moral
sentiments the human affections fall to a dis
count and Women's Rights Conventions are
naturally the order of the day. II the Modern
Times Reform did nothing but utter its protest
against the rampant selfishness which disdains
all considerations but that of individual interests
material interests, too-it would merit cur
sympathy, and prove itself something far other
than the merely disorganizing influence forwhich
Henry James has mistaken it.
