a. little learning is a dangerous thing:
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring;
For shallow draugbts intoxicate the Draln,
But drinking deeply sobers us again."
The amount of this grave objection is that
when the State interferes in the work of.c COM
mon-school education it inevitably does not
enough or too much. To give that large
learning and thorough discipline necessary
for setting the mind to deal independently
with the corrupt labyrinth OF modern cur
rent opinion is beyond the States power.
What She does give usually prepares the VIC
tins for the literary seducers.
1t is one of the most important and best
established maXimS Of social science that M
fuence descends. Hence, II you would per-
meate the whole popular mass with any
wholesome influence, the wisest plan Is 10
place the element Of good Mt the top, that II
may percolate downwards. The engineer,
when he wishes to supply the humblest,
lowliest Lane or alley Of city with pure wa
ter, establishes his reservoir upon the top
most hill; and thence it descends, without
any other force than its own gravity, to
every door and every lip. So, the most effec-
tual, the most truly philanthropic mode for
elevating the lower classes Of society is to
provide for the rise OF the superior class.
This is natures process; she elevates the
whole mass by lifting it from above, SO that
all the parts rise together, preserving
that relation Of places on whose pre-
seryation the whole organism depends.
The fashionable plan is to place the
lever under the bottom stones and
prize them to the level OF the cap-stones, of
which, the result is that the whole structure

of the University OF Virginia for giving the
rnost Thorough training 10 advanced schc-
Lara has been the most truly liberal measure

of endeavorlng to heap obloquy upon the Re-
publicaus b. cause of the commission Of an act
for which they are in no wise responsible as q

history of Democratic reign in that Common

Virginia are filing their columns and cram
ming their unfortunate re iders to surtelting
with an obi guy and abuse that had far better
be applied TO their own party managers, who
hsv. robbed aud ruined til. State The very
acme of imnudence is reached when the De-

publican party because of the personal acts Of

comprehend the subIimity of their audacity it
is ooly necessary 10 examine the history of the
Democratic or so called Conservative party 10

State have been squaudered that few men
might be enriched; the ssncti'y of the ballot
