the truth most clearly, and in these sterling
essentials he should be such a master as Is

knowledge, of the immediate and remote rela-
tions Of different truths, and the order and Sc
querce of their application to growing soul.
that tho true result may be a symmetric lly
and perfectly developed whole, the seacher

One OF the greatest Fundamental PRINCIPLES of
teaching, as science, is demonstrated by oral
teaching and is most intimately connected with
the true progress of teachers and presents to
teachers wikle field for investigation and i'm
provement.
Thorough scholarship requires the pnpil to
become familiar both with the art and science
OF the different branches, consequently if his
attention is directed wholly 10 the art without
the science, or the science without the art, he
can have butan imperfect education.
Great advancement has been made in the
practical workings of our system of publ c
school instrue iop during the last half century,
but much. very much still remains to be done
Ample provision should be made by the
Government for the complete education Of every
child, however humble, or destitute, or vicious,
or imbecile, and all parents should be required
to avail themselves of these privileges to the
utmost practical extent, for the benefit of their
children.

such manner and 20 such an extent as to en-
able each individual to render himself useful,

acting in concert with each other. and under
some enlightened common jurisdiction provided

The course of instruction rendered impera-
lively necessary by the advanced and rapidly
advancing civilization of the age, is, in nv

pore expansive and comprehensive than that

But We should open to them studies demand
ed BY the present condition Of society, of which
they may avail themselves with advancing
years, and furnish them with such facilities for
an acquisition Of rudimentary science as may
be brought fairly within the scope of common
school instruction.
Our public Dchools would thus be made the
means for securing to all practical knowledge
of men and things, and the eer1'i.unity that is
10th to give Its support to them cannot but
disregard its highest interest.
Ia this age OF the world, when great events
follow each other i'll such rapid succession, aud
truth is so blended with error, it is necessary
that we should be educated. in order that we
may judge Alright ofhuman thoughts and ac-
tions.
In this enlightened day. when an age is
crowded into a lifetime. the person who is not
possessed of cultivated mind may be said to
exist, but not to live, in the full sense of the
term.
Could we but succeed in presenting our peo-
pie with anything which will serve to make in
them greater interest in behalf of our system
ofpublic schools. we should feel more satisfied,
for we firmly believe that without the influence
of our common schools in the great mass of So
ciety, Our best and highest interest, as nation,
would at once assume downward, demoraz-
ing tendency. We have to glance over the diff
ferent nations of the world. and different por
tions of our country, to find the proof of this
assertion.
As it is with States and nations, so it is with
individuals. A practical education is the great
est safeguard to society
1t is the greatest essential in life to success
and happiness. Integral education is the god
dess of art and science. and the key to all know
ledge and understanding American hopes
and liberties are based upon liberal and COM
prehensive education, physical, moral and intel
lectual. Education-upon it, it is believed,
depends the perpetuity of our institutions; and
our character among the States of the confede-
racy.
Educate our citizens, aud then cur country
will at once assume the front rank among the
nations, and enter at once upon the highest Ca
reer of glory and usefulness
