THE ultimate end of all edu-
cation is to lead men and human
society to their highest moral
destiny" 1t is matter OF
greatest importance that the
pupils faith be developed and
intensified, not only for the per-
lection of his OWE soul, but that
he may bear his part i'll uplifting
the greater humanity"
Speaking Of the work Of his
teachers as christian men and
women who look up from nature
to natures God, he says: They
teach the children that activity
is an essentia, principle OF lite;
that order is Heaven S first law,
and that disorder is immoral;
that it is habit that forms rs,
that makes us; that the highest
type Of manhood IS not devel-
oped in the monastery or under
circumstances OF rioting, but
face to face with tie realities
and temptations Of life.
In the course OF instruction is
Bible History, and III connection
with this the children are taught
the Ten Commandments, Sermon
on the Mount, &c.
Civil Government is another
branch of study receiving due at
tention, and Of this Prof. Toms
remarks; $50 long as children
continue to leave school at an
early age much teaching Will be
necessary IL the lower classes il
the schools do their full duty in
preparing children for Intelligent
citizenship" Thus hurriedly
reviewing the basic principles OF
the Durham schools, we congrat-
ulate the city npon the wisdom
of their management, and wish
every town in the State could be
inspired to maintain just such al
institution.
