Report Of the Committee on Edu-
cation.

Your committee feel justified in reaiIirminr
all that has been said at the former sessions of
your body and in endorsing TIN: discriminating
utteranc,S Of the practical educators who adj
dressed The Educational meeting during the
present sessions of this conference. We are
convinced too, that it is within the sphere of
our legitimate duties as Christian Ministers
that we labor everywhere to encourage, foster
and promote the cause OF Education.
We should arouse the public conscience up
on this subject, and the convictions that COM
munity which does not take part with lis in
this work, 10y providing suitable school houses
and by inquiring narrowly into the character of
the teachers, are recreant TO one of the most
inpt rant duties of the citizen, patriot and
Chri tan.
Let us give no quarter to that practical sem
tment which suppOseS chat fenceess, tree
less, taSteleSs, coutOrtless and cherries shan
tyy, stuck in an Out-of-the way place in the viii
EiSe or town, or close TO the roadside for the
purpose OF saving ground, fills the measure Of
our Oblig;.t on.
Persons who bestOw the most attention upon
the reiiuements of home, are those who if
consistent will make their influence most felt
IN the school, and never rest Till they repro
duce in the surroundings OF the school, what
they represent in their homes and create q
public sentiment that the vandalism which
would deSecratc Il school sanctuary by detacing
lis buildings. mutIlating its trees and breaking
down its fences, will be visited with at least as
severe penal les as like Preparations on the
home. We may not be able TO build large and
elegant structures; we may not need them, but
the cJzllCSS and taste OF TIE unpretenQilg cot
tage, may DC reached everywhere.
