MIR. sedgwick ON Physical Educa-

ssf- -A L tiOn- tf5 E
Mr.. Sedpwick's address before the Alumni
of Columbia College, delivered on the 9th
of October, and just published in pamphlet,
is full of good matter relating to education,
and the formation Of character in early life.
Mr.. Sedgwick's manner of treating subject
is direct, rapi and spirited. How well he
depicts the mischiefs Of the neglect of physi-
cal education in this passage:
t'From the time that the boy, whose for
tune it is to, be educated, is immured in
school, till the period when he is again to be
immured in the lawyers Office, the counting
room, the dissecting room, and from the
time again until he enters upon the profess
sion of his life, no systematic attention
whatever is paid to the subject of ply
sical education. All the health-all the
exercise that he gets, he gets by nature or
by chance. No regular opportunity is pro-
vided for it--no authoritative encourage
ment is given to it, no stimulus, no prize !;
all the ambition, little zeal, all the ardsr
of his young, ignorant and unrefiecting ma
ture is concentration on the vigil and
the midnight lamp. Severe labor, long
terms, short vocations, crowded rooms, late
hours, bad air-what is the natural resdlt?
: " Hill GILL bC ltlC w GAl LtS II
been said. that the mind perishes as the body
dwindles. Not for the pale crowd of sickly
dyspeptics whom our colleges annually turn
out, are the great prizes of life. There
have indeed been Pascals, and Byrons, and
Chanuings, who, despite frail and miserable
health, have achieved immortal things but
these are only exceptions which prove a
great general rule Aatet @t
alt is the man Of robust and enduring
Constitution, OF elastic nerve, ofeomprhensive
digestion, who does the great work of life.
1t is Scott with his manly form. 1t is
Brousham with his superhuman powers of
physical endurance. 1t is Franklin, at the
age OF seventy, camping out on his way to
arouse the Canadas, rs our hardest boys of
twenty now camp out in the Adironbacks,
or Gu the Miramichi 1t is Napoleon, sleep
ing four hOurs, and ON horseback twenty
1t is Washington, with his splendid frame
and physical strength. These are the men
who make tbe names which the world will
not let die. Miserable is the philosophy and
the practice which fails to recognize the i'm
portance of the animal part of our compli-
Gated structure.
"What is there in our system to raise or
develop such men? How is it possible for
them to be produced by it | mean our
system of education. Among the classes
which do not so much boast of their intel
lectual training, the physical man is indeed
infinitely better cared for. IF you seek
among our people for bodily strength, look
at the great turnouts of our fremen, look at
our crack volunteer regiments exchanging
courtesies with our sister States Among
them YOU shall indeed find that sturdy vi
gor, that bodily strength and agility, with
ont which all mental culture is but a pre-
paration of disappointment and mortifica-
tion" =
