If special training bo neei ss .ry, it must be done in appropriate schools else where—the Univeisity has nothing to do with it. According ;o the other, the p-e- paration for the active pursuits 01 life is the only function ot the University. From the high school, or even town, if necessary, education must diverge in various special directions and become a direct preparation 1 11 >r tbe various avocations of life. To the ! possible wit bout special culture for that one class belong most men ol culture and I purpose. This is the true foundation for intelligence—in a word, most college-bred in fact, tbe connecting link kulwenu til two. In the lower school, the separation is yet so small that it is easy to step across from one to the other, witliuut assistance. No special training-school is necessary to enter successfully the corresponding low grade of active life. At the plaue of the high school, the divergence is already greater - there is already some difficulty of suec ssful transit, but not great. The so- called business college is apparently inten ded to make the transit easier and more successful. But when we reach the level of the college, and still more of the uni versity if the general course alone is cen tered the. e the separation becomes so reat that the middle passage become itn- KiiW a / .

The one view is the ideal of tbe Greek, of the madiaavalisl, of all men 100 years ago, and of many cul tured men now. The nth -r view is the ideal of the modern utilitarian. The o. c i-l ss would not have us touch one stone of that venerable, moss-grown structure—the tune-honored University -the roost pre cious heritage from antiquity; the other class would raze it to the g<ouiid, m>. leav ing one stone upon another, and i.|>ou its ruins construct another entirely d.ffcivnt WINES, WHISKIES and LAGER BEER, i and a more useful bin ding.

JAMES. is the duty of educated muu to understand thu law and guide the course-of progress. Each extreme view is fatally wrong, and even defeats itself. Thu former is wrong in making culture terminate wholly within uulturc only .or culture sake. It defeats itself, because even the highest culture can not be attained by terminating itself, but only by terminating outwards oil some worthy object Tbe latter is wrong, and defeats itself in imagining that high profes sional success is possible without a solid basis of genera! culture. If we liken the whole course of education to a tree, then the general culture is the solid trunk, ar.d the special cultures the fruit-bearing branches. The one view, therefore, is wrong in imagining that tho end of tree life is only to grow ever afterwards care less of frnit; tho oilier view is.wrong in imaging that brunches can be fruit-beating without vital connection with a sufficient trunk. The one class commits the folly of him who digs deep and lays a solid foauda- t e complaint that our colleges and univer sities instead of fitting, actually unfits for active file. The lower school graduate steps with ease from this grade of culture lo a corresponding grade ot' life. The high school gra.iuate finds more nifli.utlty in en tering upon his higher grade of active life, but the (l.rtioiilty is not uustirpa-sable. But the college graduate or th university grad uate finds himself educated up to :i high plane of life, but entirely tillable to take successful bold of any one of those corns plex, difficult and highly intellectual pur suits which belong to bis grade of intellect a d activity. He finds himself suddenly transferred to a new world for which he is unfitted, and perhaps drifts about in uncer tainty for months, or even years, before he finds his place and his work in the world Launched on the stormy sea of life without chart, compass or rudder, he drifts help lessly many mouths before he finds secure harbor—in.my even are hopelessly wrecked. Now, one great and characteristic func tion of the university which must not be ignored, is to span this chasm, to construct passage-ways across to the various intel mut ual pursuits of active life. Tho ge oral culture maybe eo np trod to a central col umn, rising higher and higher, until it readies the college and the university. The active life sweeps around tliL in ever widening circles as we ascend; JJ«w,, the university must span the wide chasm with many bridges, reaching from the top of the central column to the various points on the wide circle of the higher intellectual pur suits of life. Three of these are generally recognized as be onging to the university— in t ie three well known liberal professions. But there are many nthem equally liberal, because equally intellectual, and therefore, equally deserving—recognition. These are the professions of scientific engineer—civil, mechanical and mining; scientific agrieul- t nralist, pi actical chemi t, metallurgist, and, noblest of all, of writer, thinker, scicntinc investigator Tho university tnus). furnish training schools for al! these, and perhaps in tiiue, many more which I do not call to mind. Returning to our educational tree: The schools are the firmly fixed roots, the college the shapely trunk, tne University the crowning elusler of leaf bearing, duwer- beariug, trim-bearing branches, tirqdy uni ted to the continuing but diminishing lea t the beginings ot as many courses, pre- j even in Georgia, but to one who listened • ■ attentively it soon became apparent that the reversion was so much greater ns to present the face of a comparative novelty.

Nevertheless, the necessity ' for such encouragement in relation to bran ches of science having reference .to astrono my. is fully recognized in the establishment ot the “Coast Survey” and tbe “Naval Observatory.” These two National insti tutions have greatly tended to foster original research in our country, and to establish for us a character, in tho scientific world.
