EDUCATION IN TEXAS,

Perhaps no State IN the Union en-
joys greater advantages than Texas,
vet in the matter OF education she ap-
pears much behind the other States.
This IL not as II should be, for to arouse
great people, the interest, care and
attention should DO bestowed on her
training. Ever since the world began
we have noticed that In proportion to
the spread Of education, 30 did that ma
ton thrive and prosper. We look back
to the history.of ph@nicia md Car
thage, and discover that, according as
they bestowed attention to their train
Ing, 40 did their greatness increase.
They first discovered the art Of writing,
and although 1t was Of primitive,
rude kind, II gave them IN advantage
over their neighboYs which they did
not fail to use. They became the great
est traders In the world, and are the
inventors Of many useful articles, of
which glass IL the most important.
But ~ soon IN their attention was
wholly bestowed on trade, and their
education neglected they lost their
power, and degenerated into q fourth
class nation, and TO this day are only
know ~ IN ancient and extinct race.
We have met with the greatest ignor-
ance in this favored State, and have
wondered that n people enjoying so
many advantages should mar them
by . lack Of self.culture. Eastern
Tsxas, perll2a1s, IL worse of than any
other portion Of the State, and in con.
nection with 1t, 1t might be well ia
mention Van Zandt, Wood aud Smith
counties. Here 1t might almost be said
that they have not enough sense to
pound sand. In many cases we found
large families Of whom not one was
able to read or write. Neither are the
farms In this locality In 10 good and
Aourishing condition as they are In
neighborhoods where the blessings Of
an education are appreciated. Tho
reason Of this IL, that uneducatcd pco.
pie live . kind Of animal life, will
nothing calculated to elevate theiI
minds, and dead to all the nobler In,
stlnet Of human nature. In othel
words they become hardened and indo
lent The time hssHhpw come whel
education must BECOME universal ant
thorough. She must 90 hand IN han,
with suecesshul legislation and trade
and all lovers oftheir country will los,
DO time educating both their mind
and intellecss.
Let the women, especially be well cd
ueated, for they exert good and salu
tAry influence on the world; therefor
their education should be commensu
rate with their influence. In the com
pletion Of social life woman is mis-
txess Of that which decides its hues
Let her, then, be trained to WELD thi
fearful power with skin and principle
end for The salvation Of social man
Cato said, ut Is the Romans who gov
ern the world, but the women VIII
govern The Romans" To the supcrio
perceptions and education Of woman
too, IL due the discovery of this gres
country. Christopher Columbus ha
been turned away by Ferdinand ,
spain had not Isabella recalled and e,
erted her influence In his behalf. r,
the love and honor Of our homes
then behooves VI to bestow the mo
liberal culture on the female mind.
