If Is n wholesome maxim Of moral phi.

offend the preachers and the one-eyed
politicians, who can zee only the virtues
Of their own party, and arc blind to the
god proposed by an opponent
Mr.. Thomas, the Radical member from
Lewis, and recent candidate for the Of
fec Of Lieutenant Goversor, offered .
resolution that il Wa. the sense Of the
House, that the act authorizing the pur-
chase Of "Collins's History Of Kentucky
is unccnstitutional and should he repeal
ell. The resolution ives referred to the
committee on the judiciary. The resolu-
ton maybe smothered by this commit
tee, ybich can only view it from con
stitafioual standpoint. 1t is not certain
that the act, ~ the member from Lewis
suppeses, is unconstitutional, but there
can be little doubt that il is one Of as-
graft, almost outrageous, impolicy. Ii
is law made in the interest Of one man.
The sole design of it was to put money
in the pockets Of Collins the younger, at
the expense Of the State and to the pre-
judice Of the common school districts Of
the respective counties. The simple
fact, that tho act itself prov idcd that the
school districts falling to vote at all Of
the question, whether a proportion on
the common school fund due such dis.
tricts should be applied for the purchase
of the history, should be deemed favor
able to the purchase, affords a strong
presumption that those who were friend
ly to- the measure were afraid to risk
free and fsir investigation of the subject
This election, by the terms of the bill,
was fixed to take place in ten day. after
It's passage, and the people throughout the
State had no knowledge or information
that they would be required or expected
TO express themselves upon matter of
such great interest to their children.
Had it been generally known, it is not
unsafe to say that Mr.. Collins would not
have re- eved enough in the way of
money to pay him for the printing. No
possible good can result from the longer
continuance in force of this act. Collins
may have made some expenditures, on
the faith thai the Legislature would not
repeal the law; but it must be borne in
mind that his only object was to benefit
himself at the expense Of the State, and
the representatives Of the State should
feel it to be their duty to see that hedoes
not do il.
T:ebiect of the radical member from
Lewis, whets~ tr~eesrSs proper way

fully prevalent in deliberative Sadies Of

Kentucky Legislature are gentlemen

found in that body. They are gentlemen
of good character at home. This intelli-

a TECHNICAL EDUCATION.

An old ceuplet used to run somewhat in
this wayne do not pretend to give the
exact words or rythm of it, only the idea
as the twig is bent the tree is inclined, so
education shapes the common mind. OF
the truth of the idea thus conveyed there
il and can be no doubt. The mind is
shaped by the common school, that is by
education. There is, at present, demand
for higher education. We do not under
stand that the meaning of this is that
Greek, Latin, the higher branches of
mathematics, etc, shall be taught in our
common schools. Far from it. What is
the object of education When we say
education, in this connection, we refer TO
the instruction given in our common
schools, including, of course, graded
schools which are part of the system.
No one expects to obtain complete edu-
cation in these or any other schools, col
leges or universities. No man, in the pro-
per sense of the word, ever completes his
education, From the time young man
finishes his education, SO far as teachers
are concerned, he is constantly adding to
his stock of knowledge, constantly educat-
ing himself, and constantly striving to per-
feet himself in every branch that will hem
eft him in his chosen sphere Of life. The
object of our system of schools and collie
gcs is to lay the foundation Of an ednca-
lion. This being admitted, and is there
any question about it, what follows 1t
seems to Us that the "curriculuni"-a
teachers delight to call it-that is the course
al study pursued, is not just what il should
De. We wish that Technical Education, vt
by Charles Il. Stetson, just published by
James r, Osgood and Company, of Bos-
ton, could he placed in the hands of every
parent and educator in the country. We
believe that new ideas upon the subject OF
education would be gained therefrom. w,

We commend to the attention of our
merchants, manufacturers, and business
men generally, the advice of the New York
clipper, which, with the alteration Of here
and there a word, we herewith give. If
there ever was such thing as sound, scnsi-
bic, timely advice, it is contained in the
subjoned paragraph. The merest glance
at any of the New York or Boston news
papers will convince even the most scepti-
cal of its truth, and ought to insure a
practical belief therein. A glance at the
daily papers, says the Clipper in sub
stance-shows that the heaviest merchants
in New York city-mcn whose fame is as
wide as the continent, and whose business
is known to evcrybody--spend ten dollars
in advertising now, where they spent one
dollar three months ago. The reason is
obvious. They want custom more now
than they did then, and they learned long
ago that there is but one way of infuenc-
ing trade successfully, and that is by ad-
vertisng. If our Rutland merchants will
heed this suggestion, and will push forward
boldly, they will find before the end of the
season that hard times IN the business
world may be conquered by proper enter

Senator Morrill, of Vermont opened the

more disposition than ever before to dis
crminatc between currency reform
and banking reform. 1t is coming to be
recognized more and more, every day, that
1t is the province of government to regulate
and secure the currency, and of the private
individual to take care of his own bank and
to look out for his own banker. In the
happy expression of Senator Sherman, the

SPELLING.

We believe in learning children to spell |
correctly, or, rather, of having them learn
to do it for themselves. We know that |
spelling is too much neglected in our
public schools. II Is, to-day, more neglec-
ted than it was twenty years ago. Better
spoilers will be found among those who at
tended the district school of quarter of
century ago, than among the most advanced
of the scholars in our higher schools, I'M
der our so-called improved system We
do not mean to say that the public schools
of Vermont have not been vastly improved
during that quarter of century. During
that period, great advance has been made
in some respects, and in some parts OF the
state, perhaps throughout the whole state
But in the matter of spelling there has
been retrogrcsson. We are simply en-
pressing our own opinion, founded upon
observation and reading. Unfortunately,
the census has no statistic upon the subject
from which we can make Il comparison.
Indeed. it would be impossible to obtain
any reliable statistics upon the SUBJECT
The fact must, however, be Yetcnt to every
one. that there has been Il rcroglcssiOn iii
some parts Of the state, that in many
schools very little attention is paid Thereto,
and that the children look upon this as the
most irksomc of their studies. This was
not the case thirty or, even. fifteen yeas
ago. Children then delighted in spelling.
| 1t was as much recreation rs study
| There was Il good natural emulation and
strife among scholars to see who should
most excel therein. Why the change ?
Two are suggested by Mr.. StetsOn in his
"Tcchnical Education from which we
quote II is put. as will be seen, in the
form Of an enquiry, but il is a very sug-
gestiyc one. "lIow often, says he, ''pupls
in the public schools are compelled to learn
the spelling Of fifteen or twenty thousand
words, and that too without needing the
laws Of photography, when there is no as.
surance that one pupil out of fifty will
have occasion, in all his after life, to write
above three or four thousand different words
and those the mos! common :" To n certain
extent this is true, and is we'll called cram
ming This does not, however, go to tho
root Of the matter. What little attention
is paid to spelling is in This examining
