ton is, it enjoins upon the Legislature to
set no limits but those of necessity to the
opportunities it shall offer in this respect.
To limit knowledge is to limit progress.
II we are to advance as people to new
industries, economic inv ventions, scientific
discoveries and wiser legislation, it must
be by means of knowledge. \ university
alone, therefore, can properly complete
the educational system of the State.
while these broad views do honor to
| the makers of our fundamental law, it
will be no less an honor to the legislators
of 1S67-S if they shall carry them into
effect. The time is fitting. Circum-
stances are unusually propiuous. The
attention of the people is just now Pc
culiarly attracted to the material interests
of the State. What interest more material
than this? The Legislature is at dead
| lock as to parties. No mean jealousies,
no small partisanship need narrow or de-
face the work proposed. Men differing
widely in political views may vie with
each other in zeal for the cause of educa-
| ton
"The bill offered by Dwinelle in the
Assembly on Thursday is very carefully
drawn. So complete is it in details that
there seems to be little if any occasion for
its amendment. The session draws near
its close, and out OF the hundreds of pro-
posed laws yet inchoaGe there are few
more worthy Of Immediate action than
this. There is no job in it. 1t asks but
little of the State. Like most projects
which seek purely the public good, it is
| urged at the cost of self-sacritice by its
promoters, and it is only the beginning Of
an institution which will for years re-
quire the same unselhsh and earnest
fostering"
