education demanded by the present
age IS, "a scheme of study, which,
while it represents the present state of
knowledge, and affords a varied cultl-
walton and a harmonious discipline,
shall, at the same time, best prepare
for the responsible work Of life;" and
a course OF study that shall make the
intellect "a clear, cold, physical engine
With all its parts of equal strength,
ready, like steam engine, to be turned
to any kind Of work, and spin the
gossamer, as well as forge the anchors
of the mind"
The aim should be the elevation of
the individual by the harmonious
development of all his powers and
faculties. It is true that the field is so
vast that no great results can be ac-
complished in anything without long
concentrated attention. But part at
least. OF the preparatory study, must
be general. The idea that some special
calling must be kept in view during
the whole course of study, arises from
a misconception of the object of such
a course of training. Education, which
ought to be directed to the making of
men is too often diverted into a process
Of manufacturing human tools, wond-
erfully adroit in the exercise of some
technical industry, but good fol
nothing else. He who is satisfied with
with such an education builds an i'll
proportional structure upon an in
sufficient foundation. There are
langes in his mental wheels which fl
only one grove.
Man needs general education before
Especial, because he is not a mere
machine but a man with unlimited
lcapacities of being, doing, and suffer
ing, and because he possesses mint
which education will lift up to high
er sphere, and make capable of thu
highest intellectual enjoyment; min(
that can conquer fire, air, light, water
and make them docile slaves of his
sovereign will. Education will enable
him to unveil the marvellous mechan
isms of natures laws, penetrate thu
profoundest secrets, and "catch {
glimpse of the entire stream of trutl
formed by the harmonious union O.
all principles, and which is flowing or
majestically into the boundless ocea1
Of all knowledge, the Infinite mind"

EDITOR EDUCATIONAL.
The discussion and ventilation going
on in your columns upon the subject
of changes in our alphabet and orthog-
raphy, remind us Of a radical change
in an alphabet made several years ago,
the particulars Of which may not
prove embarrassing to your readers. if
your valuable space will permit.
Previous to the connection of Great
Britain with the continent of Europe
by telegraph cables. England had her
peculiar code of telegraphic signals,
and the German telegraphers had
theirs, and the latter not being isolat-
ed, as We're the English, gradually
spread their alphabet of dots and dash
es over nearly all Europe, and when in
1854-5 England stretched her arms
under the sea and moored herself, so
to speak, alongside the rest of Europe,
the difference in the two alphabets
made clash and worked badly, besides
lin international biography the Ger
man dotted letters q, 0 az the French
C soft, and theaccented e, which dis
tinguishes the past participle and the
present tense, and also the apostr0Dhe.
$50 dear to the frenchman, must each
be represented in addition to the 26
English letters, if translations and
their delays must be avoided. So after
considering the matter fully johnny
Bun found the German characters
superior to his own and set about
adopting them. Spaced letters and
dashes Of unequal lengths (Which
still dlsfigure our Morse alphabet) were
to be dropped and the new characters
substituted. Each operator in Great
Britain was given copy of the new
signals, and two months fo,, their
study, to both learn the new aud I'M
learn the old, but many operators were
found TO be unprepared, and another
month was granted with a similar rel
suit. In fact the foreign alphabet was 4
new tanglednotion, and distasteful to
the sturdy Briton, who made MANY
plauSaDle excuses. Pressure was then
applied where it, would do the most
