THE STUDY OF LANGUAGES.

THE STUDY OF LANGUAGES.
We have, in our previous section,
attempted to show the Importance of
"FEMALE EDUCATION" Now, we will
endeavor to prove the pre.emincnce of
certain branches of study, in tho accom-.
plishment of this end.
A writer on "Intellectual Improve.
mcnt" says: "1his is a day OF improved
education new systems of teaching are
devised modes of instruction, choice of
studies, adaptation of text, books, the
whole machinery of means, haves been
brought, in our day, under severe
revision"
I will attempt to point out and urge
the claims of those studies most cffica-
cious and comprehensive in the educa.
tion of fcmalcs-those studies which
bring and keep the mind under the
greatest cultivation and discipline
which reach farthest, sink deepest,
penetrate tho heart and soul Of the
pupil, and impress her with deep sense
Of the united attributes of the Supreme
Being.
Such is the construction Of the Eng.
lish language, owing to the many
different nations who, during eighteen
hundred years, have been instrumental
in giving it the form it bears at present,
that thorough knowledge Of our own
language cannot by any possibility be
acquired, unless knowledge of the
languages from which it is compounded,
be obtained.
A largo number Of our oldest words
arc of German origin, nearly oil OF which
are to be found in our translation of the
biblo. Almost all scientific terms are
derived from Greek two thirds Of til >
words in daily use are derived from
latin and Italian, and besides those
already in daily use from French, many
are being adopted into our language,
from time 10 time, from that popular
tongue.
In fact, tho literature of the present
day so abounds in French words and
phrases, that ono lcoses much in want
of knowledge Of tho language (though
must say l object seriously to the in.
PRODUCTION of Fronch words and phrases
into any literary English work, unless,
already anglicised) which caG only be
rsmodied by careful course of study
To stndy English literature, without
the aid Of the classics, is to lose one hall
OF the beauty of sentiment, style, and
delicate touches--the vigor, feeling
allusion and illustrative association is
lost.
