PHOSPECTTTS. FT! HE spirit of inquiry, which hag of late years J. extended to* every thing connected with human improvement, has been directed with pe culiar earnestness to the subject of education. In our own country, the basis of whose institu tions is feltto be intelligence and virtue, this topic has been regarded as one of no ordinary interest*, and has excited a zeal and an activity worthy of its importance. By judicious endeavors to adapt the character of instruction to the progressive requirements of the public mind, much has been done to continue and accelerate the carder of improvement. Thesevery efforts, however, and this success, have produced the conviction that much remains to be done. A periodical work, devoted exclusively to edu cation, would seem likely to be of peculiar ser vice at the present day, when an interest in this subject is so deeply aud extensively felt. At no eriod have opportunity and disposition for the extensive interchange and diffusion of thought been so favorably combined. Science mid Liter ature have their respective publications, issuing at regular intervals from the press, and contri buting incalculably to the dissemination of know ledge and of taste. But education, a subject of the highest practical importance to every school, every family, and every individual in the com munity, remains unprovided with one of those popular and useful vehicles of information.

An opportunity will thus be afforded for a fair com parison of the merits of various systems of in struction. 'i he results of actual experiment will be presented ; and the causes of failure, as well as ofsuctess, may thus be satisfactorily traced, and be made to suggest valuable improvements. The "conductors of the Jouesal will make it their constant endeavor to aid in diffusing enlarg ed and liberal views of education. Nothing, it seems to us, has more influence in retarding the progress of improvement in the scienceof instruc tion, than narrow and impartial views of what education should be expected to produce. Intel lectual attainments have been too exclusively the object ol attention. It is too common a thing to cons dcr a man well educated, if he lms 'madea proper use of the facilities for the acquisition of learning ; though the result may have been ob tained at the expense of his health, and with much neglect of that inoral'culture, which is the surest' foundation of happiness. In many plans of edu cation, which are in other respects excellent, the fact seems to have been overlooked that man pos sesses an animal, and a moral, as well as an in tellectual constitution. Hence the fatal neglect . of the requisite provisions for the devclopemcnt of the corporeal system, & the confirmation and improvement of health, the only touudation of mental as well as bodily power. The moral de partment of education has too commonly been restricted to an occasional word of parental ap- probation or reproof; or, at the best, to efforts limited by the sphe're of domestic life. The natu ral consequence of the restrictions' thus unjustly laid on education, is, that we often find, in the same individual a learned head; but a debilitated body, and a neglected heart. Education should, we think, be regarded as IheVneans offitting man for the discharge of all his duties : it should pro duce vigorous and hardy bodies, trained ta pow erful action, and inured to privation and fatigue; hearts formed to all that is pure and noble in moral principle^; and minds prepared for effi cient exertion in whatever may be their depart ment in the great business of accomplishing the purposes of human existence.
