fer much Us to what constitutes IN cd
ucation, yet it will be generally conced-
ed that any system which produces
wcll-cramn'ed brains with enfecbled
health il maniiestIy defective. "Nlind
is united to matter, but matter is also
united to mind" and, as has been pre-.
vionsly observed, a sickly constitution
too often illustrates itself by dwarted
aud morbid ideas. Surely the problem
OF giving the best education with tue
tewcst evils to youny americans is Of
vital Importance, and the. opinions Of a
leading psychologists like Virchow are
worthy OF careful consideration. They
are worthyo of consideration not only be-
cause We have reason to respect opin.
ions from such source, but also be-
cause they may suggest improvements
IN our own educational system which
will lead to Oh improved mental and
physical maturity in our own country.
No doubt much mental work is done
by invalids. Still how much better
would be their achievements, unbiased
by the influence Of physical indisposi-
ton. Our language supplies many ex-
pressions in which this parasitic effect
OF disease seems to be recognized, and
when men have made comparisons b.
tween sentiment and "sickly" scnti-
mentality, or have characterized certain
ideas As vigorous or morbid, or sound,
or d'sea'ed, they have perhaps spoken
" better than tncy knew"

Benjamin Brodie "In order to make

The, common school ought to bring into
itself all who have not wealth and leis-

None dispute this. Then, what is the
duty Of tho State in the premises ?
Having supplied oil the necessary ma"
chinery, and provided fund adequate
to deftay the expense contingent upon

Grafton, the State, if necessary, must,

Whilo it is, undoubtedly, impr.cti-

duty Of the Legislature, to take some
step BY which the people will be made
to feel that they owe duty to the
State, and that they must not hope
much longer to delay its performance.
To meet the present exisepcy, wo hope
that the Legislature viii, this winter,
