MEANS OF GENERAL EDUCA.
TION. .

As no one doubts the desirableness of
general education, it may not be impro-
per to inquire what are the means ncces-
sary to be put into requisition in order to
secure such a desirable contamination. In
the first place, We shall remark that a
correct public opinion should be formed.
In the language Of Bishop Porter, "Our
people have absolutely the control over
the whole subject Of education, not only
as it respects their own families, but. to a
great extent, in schools and seminaries of
learning. If, then, the people were fully
awake to its Importance and their nature,
we would o have a perfect system, and
we should witness results from it for
which we now look in vain"
Hon. Ira Mayhem in his able work en-
titled Universal Education, says: ':The
promotion of a correct public opinion is
of the utmost Importance, for the primary
cause of all the defects complained of in
education, and<the source of all the evils
that afiict the community in consequence
of its neglect, is popular Indifference
From this we have more to fear than from
all other causes combined. Opposition
ELECTS discussion and discussion, judi
ciously conducted, evolves truth and edu-
c~ational truths brought clearly before
the mind of any community will ultimate
ly induce right action. Men may be M
luenced by a comparatively low class of
motives, but ono which they can appreci-
ate. AS they witness the beneficial effects
of reform. their motives will gradually be-
come more elevated, and their efforts at
improvement more consistent. but no
important advance can be made without
popular enlightenment"
These are weighty considerations and
deserve our constant reflections. How
can public opinion be corrected?

Death of a Centenarian.

"Milly" Aiken, a colored woman, died
on last Saturday evening. at the residence
of her old master, Mr.. Robert Aiken.
She was born in 177I, FIVE years before
the separation of the Thirteen Colonies
from the Mother Country, and consequent

of one hundred years. She was probably
the oldest inhabitant of Tennessee, except
Peter Ross, who is said to be one hundred

her memory to a remarkable degree. She
worked up to Friday previous to her death.
