The Farmers Daughters

So much has already been said on the sub
ject of educating farmers daughters that It may
seem like presumption for me to attempt to add
any thing now, but wish to ask why distinc-
tion need be made between farmers daughters
and the daughters of mechanics, merchants or
professional men, in respect to their education.
The same course of study which the latter
should pursue is equally appropriate to the for
mer. Every parent should do as much for the
education of his daughters as his circumstan-
ces will allow, be his what it may. The far
mer's daughter should possess all the accom-
plishments of the lawyers if she has the means
necessary to aid her in acquiring those accom-
plishments; and the lawyers daughter should
be taught to labor in the kitchen, ply her nee
die, and understand and practice domestic
economy, as well as the daughter of the far
mer In the first place, think when man
chooses a wife he should be careful to select a
lady of industrious habits, one who is capable
of managing the affairs of u family systematl-
cally. Uulcss he does get such a one, his
house will be badly managed, his daughters
will follow the example of their mother, their
daughters ofhis daughters, and so on from moth
ers to daughters, one cannot tell how long
Much Of the education of daughters unavoida-
| bly, devolves upon the mother. She should be
capable of teaching chem hOusewlfery in all lis
apartments, as well as needle work, pain if
not ornamental; correct phraSeology, and be-
coming lady-lke manners. She should ar
range the domestic labors of her daughters SO
as to give some portion of each day TO those
studies which will store the mind with useful
knowledge; and to the acquiring of those ac-
complishments which will elevate and improve
the mind, taste, and manners, and which will
also increase the happiness of their daughters,
the happiness oftheir family, and all with whom
they may associate. Teachers should be cho-
sen for them whose morals, manners and intel
lectual requirements arc such as you wish your
daughters to initiate and strive to attain. The
some care and caution should be observed in the
choice of associates, as companionship with the
vulgar and vicious can have no other than an
evil influence upon their minds and hearts.
