Kduoation should include political
principles, morality social duty. It
should be made compulsory. Kvery
f State should provide for the education
of its whole people. Such provision
has been madosuch principles settled;
but as frraier8 sometimes plow up the
old sod and sow again, so it befits us
to deal with moral growths, and it is
time now to d'senss this great matter
once more. The influence of foreign
elements in our population demands a
lively interest in the whole matter.
The State must educate its people,
and not the church. The State his a
right to make its own c xistenoe secure,
and security to the State, comes only
firm the education of the whole peo
ple, which thus becomes self-defense
Uosrmatic religion is not necessary to
the existence of the State; intelligence
is School houses should be multiplied
till they are ample for the accommo
dation of all' and the teacher should be
aaong the Most honored of the land.
No one stands so near the father and
mother, in influence upon the future of
the country, as the school teacher not
professors in colleges, but the educators
of the masses.
Our schools do not teach enough.
They should include the distinction
between good and evil: ioenlcatc
truth, honesty, temperance, self control
fidelity, economy aud patriotism. It is
not imparativo that tho n.c of the
Bible be insisted upon, for raully it wis

It is vain to teach the higher branches
aud leave these more important things
untaught. Men should be so taught as
to be patriotic, not when the drum
beats and cannon roar, but when they
stmd alono. Dapper, dainty, delicate
young men, who are afraid of hard
work, swarm in all the cities and beg
for soft positions under government
and in fat offices. It is a sin for any
man te bring up boys thus; they should

be taught to take care of their own
mouths and backs with their own
hands. It is a shamo to know all
about Mars and Jupiter, and nothing
of Massachusetts. The State schools
should be so good that no private
school can live in their vicinity ; and
every poor boy should look up to
the Stato as his rich uncle. Com
pulsory education ought to give no
just person offense. The law gives no
annoyance to the man who keeps in

demand education, but it could not bo

here desiring education for their child

interested come with far different mo

who cannot make anything, and these
