The change which has has taken place
in public sentiment during the last few
years, as to thepropriety Of females being
educated as accountants, clerks, &c, is a
sufficient guarantee for any efforts which
may be made to meet the wants and de-
mands of that branch Of society, who
deem it privilege as we'll as a right, to
assume equality in some of the lighter
and less hazardous departments Of trade
The idea of prdciicob1t9 is the ruling
one among our people; and the great
question to be solved is, whether any
particular enterprise orplan of education
is to prove of public atility
The principal aim of education should
be, to qualify men and women for per
performing, correctly and understanding
", the practical duties of life, and adding
an influence for good to society 1t is
generally acknowledged that the women
of om country have too little knowledge
of business affairs Theresultis, that, in
nine cases out of ten, On the death of thC

thrown into the hands Of the administra
tors or executors, who, too, often prove
interested iinanciers,' materially af

of the widow and children" whom il is
their duty to protect
There seems to be no good reason why
women, natural guardians as they are
should be kept in ignorance in regard tC
both theory and practice in business at
fairs. Many of the duties devolving up
on ladies require correct knowledge o
accounts and business routine generally
In the absence Of such knowledge they ar,
often placed in embarrassing positions
in the performance Of even common bust
ness transactions; while, in the settle
ment of an estate, and adjustment of tn,
more complicated affairs they are Ioun'
totally incompetent.

Business Correspondence.

There is perhaps no one element
of business education more persistent
y neglected, even among men Of good
business capacity than this, and yet
scarce any of more Importance and real
worth to a business man in his dealings
with the commercial world.
There are certain essential points in the
matter Of letter-writing which may be-
easily mastered enabling an otherwise
poor correspondent to acquit himself
with good deal of credit. The plan of
instruction adopted in this behalf is the
only one likely TO produce good results.
The student is required to write great
variety of letters on different subjects,
both at the suggestion of the teacher
and in the fullilmcnt of the requirements
of the business in which he is for the
time engaged These letters are sub
mitted for examination and criticism,
their inaccuracies carefully pointed out,
and important suggestions given. Aside
from this individual attention, general
lectures are given to the class from time
Ito time, and the best models submitted
for their consideration and adoption.
