Those, however, who wish to succeed 10
mechanical pursuits, should make up their
minds to one thing, aud that IS, that the re-
uurements for a mechanic will be greater here
after than they have been heretofore. If We
look around We find master mechanics now gen
tlemcn of education and scientific knowledge. a
mechanic should possess u fair English Educa
ton, as we'll as the elements Of mathematical
science. al c4n thus prepare themselves. II they
are not we'll educated before beginning their me-
chanica career they can, while yet young, &C
quire everything necessary at night schools,
and there is no need OF their encring life debar
red by lack Of knowledge from taking the fore
most rank in their calIings.
We hope that parents, instead Of putting SO
many of their hoys into stores, Or ma kim
PROFESSIONAL men Of them, will give their
sons some good trade, and take care that they
receive proper education to enable them to
excel By so doing we shall have q much
larger number Of noble mechanics TO help %
build up our cities and to acquire for them
selves wealth sud distinction in liie.-NOU0M
