An Available Education.

Athorough education consists. moi

some practical use.
A man who has few ideas. and
KNOWS how to impart them to others.
or to apply them as motive power
TO some portion Of the worlds com
Phcated machinery, is of far more ac-
count IN our estimate of men, than
one who has mind abundantlv

and abstract truths, but whose ac-
qulrements are never available. in

a person who can manage a steam
engine, or send MESSAGE alone, the.

Two Sorts of Schools.
coNcT IrDED FROM LAST WEEK.

CONCLUDED FROM LAST WEEK.
Well, let MS drive over here two
or three miles, and drop in at school
rumber two. While tying yoar
horse. the hum of the scene within
reaches your ear, You approach the
door, doubling whether you will be
introduced to recitation or recess
and after a second,-perhaps third
loud rap, you gain adnittance, but
YOU are no less in doubt what name
to give 10 the exercise that is progress
sing. You can, however, soon de-
termine what is the general exercise,
when you see that four-titths OF an
the pupils present stare you full III
the face for the first fifteen minutes.
But when the s.schoolmaster" or
agchoolmarm'' has several times re-
peated, "attend to your studies, all,
the scene changes somewhat, stu
YOU are left to conclude that the
change is not so much due tot e
command ofthe teacher, as it is to the
fact that the novelty Of your presence
is in some degree subsidized.
Soon the scene is a varied one
Every. fourth scholar is whispering,
every fifth studying so loud that he
can be heard across the house, FIVE
or six are moving in different direc-
tions for some unknown object. :
John cries out, "Please may leave
my seat?'' George-"Go to the
stove?'' and Mary, ''get my book2''
A class is called out to read; after
two or three minutes time lost in dis
putting which is the right lesson, the
exercise commences. The teacher
tells each one to commence, as his on
her turn arrives, and often gives the
number Of the verse. When the pu-
pill hesitates, and sometimes when he
does not, the teacher pronounces the
word for the reader, and in many in
stances spells out the same. While
this pupil is thus laundering through
the sentence, the remainder of the
class are at liberty-at least they
use the liberty-to occupy their eyes
and thoughts with what suits them
best. So the renting progresses,
and so it ends. In likemanner, les
son after lesson is gone through @ith,
and finding it impossible TO keep
yourself interested in the bungling
exercises, you walk around the room,
and what do you see? Books,I soiled
with dirty hands, and Written over
outside and in, with awkward pen
cilling and indecent thoughts, scat
tered in confusion on the various
desks. Under this boys desk is a
pile Of WRITINGS; under that girls,
litter of torn papers overhead, the
ceiling is despatched with paper
wads; under foot the floor is strewed
with nut-shucks, fragments of bread
and butter, apple-cores, &c. The
only evidence that sweeping has ever
been attempted at any time, is, that
the dirt is deeper in the by-places, be-
hind the doors, desks &C., than on
the open floor. DOOR
The above may, to some, seem
over-drawn, yet it is not. Other
points of difference, equally potent
might be enumerated. 1t is a pleas
ure, however, to be able to say thai
the ''number two'' teachers are not
the most numerous. Very many,
even among our most inexperienced
teachers, manifest fair amount Of
tact to govern, and ability to teach.
