TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
nnd the following in this mornings issue Of the
HERALD
General Rosecrans the next speaker His remarks
directed principally TO favor the establishment Of
military schools throughout the counrya nursery for u
national militia.
Please permit me TO say that my remarks were TO
recommend the establishment, Of schools Of technology
throughout the country wherein our young men could
learn the sciences and their applications TO agriculture
manufactures and all the useful and ornamental arts
and professions that the best and continually ncreas
ing lights Of science might ut be brought to aid in
developing the mighty OF young but giant
country; that thus should ennobe the minds Of
youth and direct their ambition into channels Of peace
full industrial progress bringing honor 70 themselves
and prosperity 10 the nation.
That to counteract the influence Of petty military
schools springng from individual enterprise and des
tined to perish with their founders and to render such
schools unnecessary should like to these scientific
schools governed by military discipline and giving such
rudimentary military instruction would qualify their
pupils to be efficient officers of the militia which, for the
of liberty well economy, hoped would be
organized by Congress- the of It's constitu-
tional perogative.
That insure the successful establishment work
ing Of such schools, should like TO each State
tablish the foundation OF the late donation o.
Congress- or, without it, to render the government and
patronage OF Tue ctate aS west TOlnL S unuer
the milton.
That the Emperor Of Russia made Demidon prince for
his improvements in iron working and did not know
why great republic free States should be be-
hind him in encouraging scientific industry
Let me add, MIR Editor, that the immense advantage
Of opening 10 wealth and honor by the
applications Of science agriculture, engineering, min
ing, metal working, and all the arts and trades will be
nesiimabe blessing to many who would otherwise be
crowded into the professions OF law, medicine and theo
logy 20 starve and tester penury under all the incen
tive 10 dishonest practices which spring from IT when as
soc,ated with talent and disappointed ambition.
In asking you, as do the other journals who may
have published the paragraph aludng to my remarks,
TO publish this correction hope you will give some at
tention to the matter herein suggested. Few OF tho
States have yet determined in what they will use
the of the sales Of the lands donated To them by
Congress for the promotion Of schools Of agriculture and
the arts
Should they each establish such school as l hav
suggested providing free Scholarships, ALLOWING
such be made by individuals or corporal
bodies conditions calcu lated to promote learning
common and other schools, and permitting man
pay scholars choose come under suitable qualities
lions and restrictions, doubt not should soon SO
flowing from the system the most beneficial results
