THOUGHTS ON EDUCATION

From press and platform come opin.
ions upon education. These the teacher
should read and communicate TO bis
pupils-perhaps have them commit ex.
tracts to memory. Our object is to
show the scholars the value Of educa-
tion and what leading minds say about
il. Too many children do not under.
stand what they are sent 10 school for,
and some have the idea of the boy who
saw performance at a circus, and re.
marked aggrievedly, "I'd like 10 do
that; but my folks they make me 90
to school, and are determined shan't
be nobody"
The first and great object of educa.
tion is to discipline the mind.-J.
ToDD.
Education is better safeguard Of
liberty than standing army.-Ev.
ERErr.
The poorest education that teaches
sclf.control is better than the best that
ncglccts it.-SrERLISo.
The true order of learning should
be, first, what Is necessary, second,
what is useful, and, third, what is or
namental-MRs. SIoouRSEY.
Jalls ard State prisons are the com.
plements of schools 30 many less as
you have of the latter, so many more
you must have Of the former.-MANS,
A complete and generous education
is that which 6ts man 70 perform
justly, skilliully, and magnanimously,
all tho offices, both private and public
Of peace and war.-MrLroN.
Education when IL works upon q
noble mind, draws out every latent
virtue and perfection, which, without
such helps, are never able TO make
their appearance ADDISON.
TO educate the intellect is TO unfold
direct, and strengthen IL, that it shall
bo prepared TO be, through all Its iu
turo course, a jealous and successful
seeker after the truth.--PorrER.
