Higher Education.
Buckle, it) his bistory of civiliz
ation, says that the changes in
every civilized people are, in their
aggregate, dependent solely on
three things: first, the amount of
knowledge possessed by their ablest
men; second, on the directon which
that knowledge takes; that is to
say, the sort of subjects to which
it refers; thirdly, and above all, in
the extent to which the knowledge
is diffused, and the freedom with
which it pervades all classes of
society. It may be said in gen
eral, as an additionxto tlie above,
that in the world there is nothing
great but man; in man there is
nothing great but mind. The
centuries as they roll illustrate this
truth. Life is simply that which
holds matter together; the activi
ties of life tend directly to minister
to self-preservation; one of the
first elements of this, the first law
of nature is self help; of this edu
cation is a necessary attribute, and
higher education" a necessary ad
junct. The term "higher education," is
a relative one. What is looked
upon as rudimentary and only fit
for the primary pupil of to-day,
would havo been kingly a few
centuries ago; and all tho thous
and little things that we know and
take as a matter of course would
have once been deemed too won
derful for belief. A higher edu
cation has, at times, been deemed
synonymous with a liberal educa
tion and, in general, an education
above and beyond what is actually
needed for the practical necessities
of life. The theologian, the states
man, the eminent physician, the
accomplished linguist are suppos-
ably if not actually possessed of
what is popularly a higher educa
tion. In ffeneral a higher educa-
tion is that continued process of
mental development in which the
human mind is placed in tho most
harmonious relations with the great
truths of Nature; in which the full
need of humanity is supplied, and
in which self-knowledge, self-control,
and the ability to use to thp
best advantage whatever of na
tural gift may be possessed has
been attained. This, for obvious
reasons is not possible, not prac
ticable with the majority. It is -to
be regretted, but cannot well be
helped. When the State does her
duty, provides the means, clears
all obstacles, and opens wide doors,
she has" done her duty; all she can
be expected to do. With the in
dividual abides the result. There
are a great many things that
higher education is not. It is not
the filling of the mind with innu
merable facts; it is not the supply
ing the wisdom of the past in an
attempt to otfsct the follies of the
present; it is not cramming the
head and leaving empty the hands;
it is not groping through tortuous
passages to dusty chambers full of
casuistic quibbles; it is not the
wasting of precious time upon
purely ornamental studies which,
however desirable in an aesthetic
point of view, are of little prac
tical value; nor is it jhe stimula
tion of precocity nor the exclusive
developing of genius. Tn the
' higher education pupils are taught
to think; to become active discov
erers, not passive recipients; less
attention is givon to "capacity,"
and more to powers of observation
and mental acumen. No real
thinker, no genuine learner is con
sent to know that a thing is so
without knowing why it is so,
what makes it so. What phrenolo
gists call tho "causal" develop
ment is to bo excited; not in a
sceptical manner, but in a spirit of
true inquiry.
It has at times been fashionable
to snper at higher education; to
misstate its objects; to belittle its
purposes and leadings and to de
cry those who maintain its useful
ness and illustrate its actual nec
essity. The first question with us
is always one of dollars and oents.
"Will it pay? What good is it?"
Tho design of higher education
is easily proved to bo resultant of
great good, and it certainly will
pay. It may be pertinent- to in
quire in this connection what 'good'
is. If to eat and bleep, to wax
fat and lusty, to move as animated
clods and sink along with other
animals to tho ombraco of earth,
if that and nothing else be good,
then it might be well to pause be
fore exerting so much energy or
spending so much time and monuy
in giving an onward push to the
world. But if we need the assist
ance of a lever to raise man to a
higher plane of wisdom, prosper
ity and happiness, then we see the
necessity "of a suitable -instrument,
such as higher education, and pro
nounce it "good." With this
comes increased profit, and that
always "pays."
NEW ADYEUTISEJIENT3.
Thk number of Isthmus "canals
and railways which it is proposed
to build, is, of course, immaterial
to the question of non-interference
by foreign powers. The policy
that becomes settled for one will
apply to all, but when it comes to
tho defense of that policy by
American arms, it might make a,
very material difference whether
tho number of transits to be hold
be one or more. In estimating the
contingencies of our naval future
it will be safer to err on the maxi
mum than the minimum.

The Free Trade Bulletin to
hand, has the following as its mani
festo of principles:
Every man lias the right to ox-
change the fruits of "his labor ac
cording to his own judgment.
The restriction of that right by
legislation is an infringement of
personal liberty.
Congress has no authority to
dictate the management of private
business, nor to compel well di
rected industry to pay the losses
of unprofitable experiments.
Taxation for the support of the
Urovernment is necessary, taxa
tion which brings the Government
no revenue, but serves only to lay
the whole people under tribute to
favored classes, is a violation of
the spirit of democracy.
The bill which grants the frank
uig privilege to Mrs. Garfield con
tains one provision which may
etnbarass the lady. Not only may
she use the mails free, but post
masters afe directed to carry with
out cost all letters addressed to
her. This will serve to augment
a correspondence which Mrs. Gar
field has found to be distressingly
large, and to contain no small
number of impertinent, baggy
letters.
The year 1872 with its 7,100
miles of railway tracks has hereto
fore made the best showing. It
lias been surpassed, however, this
year, as 7,898 miles bad been re
ported up to Christmas. The total
length of the railways of the coun
try is now nearly 100,000 miles.

ThkScx forl8S2 will make Us fifteenth
animal revolution under tlie present man
agement, shining, as always. Jorall, big and
little, mean and gracious, contented and un
happy. Republican and Democratic, de
praved and virtuous. Intelligent and obtuse.
l'HK Su.n's light is for mankind and woman
kind of every sert: but Its general warmth
is for tlie good, while it pours hot discomfort
on the blistering backs of tho persistently
wicked.
The Sux of 18GS was a newspaper of r. new
kind. It discarded many of the forms, and
a multitude of the superfluous words and
phrases of ancient Journalism. It under
took to report In a fresh, succinct, uncon
ventional way all the news of the world,
omitting no event of human Interest, and
commenting upon affairs with the fearless
ness ot absolute independence. Tho suc
cess of tins experiment was the success of
Tue Su. It effected a permanent change
In the stvlc of American newspapers.
Every important Journal established in this
country in the dozen years past has been
modelled after The SCJf. Ev ery Important
journal alrrady existing has been, modified
and bettered by the force of The Sus'a
example.
Thk sux of if2 will be the same outspok
en, trulhtilllng, and Intercsting'newsnaper.
By a liberal use of tho means which an
abundant prosperity affords; wo shall make
it better than ever before.
We shall print all the news, putting it Into
readable shape, and measuring its import
ance, nor by the traditional ardstick.but
by its real Interest to the people. Distmec
from Frintinsr Hon o Sauare ls not the llrst
consideration with The Sux. Whenever
an tiling happens wortli reporting we get
the particiilirs, whether ithappens in Brook
lyn or in Bukhara.
In politics we havo decided opinions ; and
are accustomed to express them in language
that can be understood. AVo say what wo
think about men and events. That habit is
the only secret of TnE fcux's political course.
The Weevyia- Sux gathers into eight
pages the best matter of the soven dally Is
sues. An .Agricultural Department of in
equalled merit, full market reports, and a
liberal proportion of literary, seientihe. and
domestic intelligence complete TnE Week
ly sux, and make it the best newspaper for
tlie farmer's household that w as ev er printed.
Who does not know and read and like
The Suxday Sex, each number of vvhiili
