On. ToTTEN's ApDREss.-We have recsved
I copy of Dr. Totten's address, delivered bess 80
the Legislature Of Iowa. on the 9th Of Febyrs- s-
| 1860, on University Education
The Doctor is doubtless very fine schc,, 49,
and claims TO have had thirty wears eHperitns ~
as an educator; but his address indicates him i
| be at least .fffy yeors behind the times. ts
Hear what he says: Reading i the Haa ~
thing to be taught in the common schOSa ".
but much more is auxiliary to this Est 5~
Doctor had used the word thinking, instead / "a
| reading, we would respond-Ama. ~
Again: "Thc studies of the common sAs4 80
are, properly, Reading, Writing, Arithmea,
English Grammar, Geography, and such know Z
edge of History the exercises in residing nav ,
| afford Higher than this, the instructions Of The -
| common school should not 20 for Ne betttts y
a higher education haa Ais, ca,,aa u common y go
ak. The y,oct cannot afford TO have de IT,
time Of his children employed On higher braEsA 1
es, for he needs their services at home, and villa
the teacher il engaged with his mad adraasS
scholars, Me children Of Hs poor are dfraas 1eil
the attention ,I.ich betoagy 10 hesa
Poor men OF Iowa, DO you hear that Ta =
common school Is desigatd for yoar chlta, All rel
not for the children Of the rich. Institutions vel
learning are to be of two kinds institutions iS I.
the rich, and institutions tor the poor Themes
determined scioo'-kRc,. in our State has rS a
dared TO propagate such oppressive and ariss v
cratic sentiments
Only this, the pooy' pl.a, cannot give his chi
dren an education. Why There il not a pcr N.
man IN Iowa WHO knows what true lAAtthDsl l.
that will not become iaaegtsayf at tat assertion ~
1t is the language Of every poor MN, tina, = y
the fortune that ever expect TO give my ca ~
dren, is an etliicaiioa, and they shall have tlal
have to work dry and n;qh to keep them eve
school" The poor Of the great North-WestEa 80
never submit to leave their children in con- emil
ton, that they can never be other than ~a9 -
uhifesn -
Again ~ strictly elementary e!acatir -
gives every one the power to profit bv The meru Avi
OF knowledge within his reach; and il In alG :sb
ton 70 this, he wants further discipline and r a.,
Their assistance, 1t shonld be at his own cost
Hence, as poor children are destitute Of ErbE IN
aud their parents must have their time, anraas p
more than strictly elementary ei,tcatioa Eass ~,
obtained BY the rich alone; unless some ~ In
fellow might borrow or beg books and By CD
wearied effort succeed in diqptsg out an edasF IN
ton for himself Sc
But what was the Doctor doing at ncs MONS kan
Judging by the latter part Of his address, tvs
to beg money from our State Treasury togt y
our State University more heavily endowed iha u,
1t now is, 50 Is to make It's tuition frss. ~ n
who are to be the recipients? Not the chilisH
Of the poor-for the Doctor says. he p9w c. a
not afford to have the time OF their children 3d. ~
ployed upon the higher branches; and taca \
to be nothing but the higher branches tarshil
the University. 80
Finally: The Doctor SAYS, let The Universe @t
be opened next September, as a wellapponuS As
institution OF learning, 10 which goung ,ssi raA
al parts Of tho State may resort We vlR Ia,
form DIR. Totten that the State OF Iowa hr S
Institution Of learning for yo,tay Hsm alone As
for the youth Of both s,zex. H.
We are as anxious as Dr. Totten can be, r,

We hope the day may not be distant when V
