to teach, and who, by judiciouslyi
mingling precept with instruction,
shall send the young creatures in
to lifewith just and cler views of
the parts they are to act in it;
convincing them that usefulness
is not incompatible with elegance,
cheerfulness and decorum, nor the
ease and accomplishments of the
most finished education with chris
tian humility, and sacred regard
to religion in form and practice.
But how often are parents and
pupils imposed on to the serious
injury Of mind and the irreparable
loss of valuable time, when the
delusive hope is held out that the
scholars are making rapid i'm
provement. This pretence is main
tanned session after session and at
length when the young lady grad
yates, it is ascertained that she is
unable to parse simple sentences,
or to tell where any particular
country or province is at; music
and dancing she may be more pro-
ficient in, yet for all the years at
school and the money expended,
but little or no solid Improvement
is shown. Yet the delusion was
maintained and parent, pupil and
friends fondly imagined she was
progressing; during this time, per-
haps, the pupil may have learned
what had better been unlearned,
coquetry, love Of display, extrava
giant habits, idleness and decep-
ton. Why was this? Because
the principal or assistant was
more DESTROYS of making money
than of advancing the true inter
ests of the pupils, and because
their moral perceptions were
blunted.
We want the truthfuIness, the
delicacy, modesty and refined in,
stinct of our daughters to be fos-
tered and developed while their
minds are being improved; we
want them so trained that they
will difuse light and Joy and peace
in our homes, and make intellec-
tual, amiable and dignified wo-
men. To insure such a future, the
teachers selected for them, must
be peculiarly quailned by nature,
by study and experience for their
sacred and responsible duties.-
Then will our female schools and
colleges be all the most exacting
can ask, and a new era will be il
augurated in the educational in
terests of our land. Our daugh-
tiers will then be ''polished stones
in the temples" and not mere
"whited sepulchres" fair to look
upon, but with hearts full of vain
desires and foolish thoughts

The Education of Our Daugh.
ters.

GerS.
The subject of female education,
from the intimate relation it bears
to our highest interests; to the "a
tional and refined enjoyment of
domestic pleasures, our social well
fare and the elevation of our race,
is one of paramount Importance,
and should engage the earnest eff
forts ofevery class for its promo
ton. but when we reflect how
many young ladies every year
''tinish their education" and who
enter society bearing diplomas,
and yet are vain, frivolous, super
fetal and utterly ignorant of the
duties to devolve upon them, we
may we'll inquire whether the time
and money expended for tuition
has accomplished the desired re
suit.
There are defects to be remedi-
ed and reforms to be instituted,
before the system of female educa-
ton will be as thorough and eff
Gent as it should be, and in this
work parents must CO operate with
those who control the schools and
colleges. And first, we would
say, that in our opinion no school
will be successful unless the teach
ers are qualified in every essential
respect for their responsible posi-
tons. But the question of com
potency here, is not to be deter
mined alone by the amount of an
instructors acquired knowledge,
but also from the capacity to i'm
part information, freedom from
bias, decision, readiness in read
ing character and diyining the
gifts or bent of mind Of the pupils,
with case and grace of manner,
for successful teaching includes
the formation of manners, and
moral advancement as we'll as
mental improvement. 1t will be
admitted then, that in the selec,
ton of teachers the utmost care
should be exercised. This is a
matter of incalculable Importance,
and the efficiency of the school as
well as the welfare of pupils will
depend on the fidelity with which
this duty is discharged. It is q
vast and solemn responsibility
that teachers are invested with,
they are to train heart and mind
to lay the foundation of charac
ter, to shape thought and feeling
and control in a very great meas
ure, the future destiny of those We
expect to be the light and orna
ment of our homes.
How important it is then, thai
the education of our daughter
should be entrusted to those whC
are alike capable of forming the
mind and manners; who are alst
deserving for their mental ac
quirements, external elegance, pu
rity and exemplariness of conduct
those who are capable of making
their pupils thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with whatever they pretend
