tual qualities which ought to be the characteristics
of men whom the citizens of free country may one
day call to fill the high stations in government
shall do all that depend upon me to make them good
citizens and good fathers of families. For this pur-
pose liberal education developing the intellect is
required an education free from contracted and anti
intellectual ideas, the offspring of ignorance and su-
perstition, her ordinary companion.

polite arts viii not suffice by themselves for
pete education. Religious ideas should also be in
culcated in their young minds. The belief in one
