standard Of practical utility. Let US learn
first, at least, what we personally and posi-

which we can profit by only as exercise or
discipline. Let all our education recognize
that we are here as doors, not as dreamers.

II affirms for the latter precedence IN time

tia: education should frs, qualify i,h WORK

sured usefulness and independence; because,
in default OF this, there is scarcely chance
that he can be morally good or intellectually
great. Bread is not SO noble as thought, but.
in the absence of food, the brain is paralyzed
or absorbed in the consciousness OF hunger.
Let every human being be first trained TO an
assured ability useiully to earn al least
livelihood, aud thus shielded from The all
but inevitable moral degradation Of the de.
pendent and the beggarly. Every man who
has had, with myself, the sad experience
and observation afforded by residence for
upwards of quarter of a century in grea,

There is no dispulng the fact; it shines in

known as thoroughly through her children as
if her unwomaniy manners were displayed

ing on the earnings of others, is scandal
and clog to The cause Of education.
Perhaps the great mistake is nowhere
more general or more pernicious than in the
education Of woman. |, is the destiny OF
woman, we carelessly say, 10 preside over
household as wife and mother; and so Ii is
The destiny Of most women, but by no means
of all. ltis right that all should be educated
10 fulfil nobly the duties of matfonage; but
il is moi we'll that any should be educated go
as TO fiji her for no other sphere but this, so
as 10 render her life as maiden necessarily
defeat and failure. Choice with some,
disappointment with others, necessity perhaps
with more;-these consigu ihousands to sin
gle life. All mus, gil this sphere at least for
a season. Why then should moi all be fitted
TO exalt, and adorn .ii7 The position and
sphere of woman is one apf tAe themes
which The thought of our age is pondering;
and its mediialions will not be fruitlsss.--
Greater freedom ard wider opportunities for
usefulness in maidenhood, juster and more
equal union in married life, these are the
essential demands OF The clear-sighied, and
they cannot always be answered by misrep-
resentaton nor silenced by sneers. PecuIi-
ary Independence and self.supporl in single
life are essential 10 woman, that she may
spurn the degrading idea Of marrying for
home and livelihood. For, however prop.
er The marriage state may be, surely an i'll.
assorted union is worse than none.
To this end, woman must be taught aud
encouraged to do many things she now
stuns;-must be called out into Gods sun
shine; and made free producer Of those
fruits which are its noblest em5odiments.-
The fine arls in all their phases, gardening,
the vineyards, the manufactufes, all must be
annexed 10 her industrial domain, until Il
should be impossible, as well as shameful,
10 exact of her teaching and other service
at half the price which man receives for
equal ability and equal efficiency. This IS
among the achievements Immediately before
US, and ii is 10 be attained through a wiseI
and more practical education.
But in thus baslng education upon industry,
activity, efficiency, do not of course mean
TO confine il to material ends. It's feet are
planted firmly on the earth, only that Its head
may be exalted 10 the skies. Let our edu-
Gated youth be first capable, skilful, efficient,
independent workers, in order that they may
develop and evince a nobler manhood,
,ruer and sweete, womanhood, than we,
