mon nn«l select schools of tho country.
It is for the interests of this very large
majority, thut wc make the present np-
pt*ul.
In the adjiistmeiit of studies, in our
sohools, for those htmleiits who ndvuneo
beyond tlm clumonlury branches, the
cluBbics nnd dome of tho higher mathu
malice are thought to be all ihat is noc
cseory to comidete their education.—
And, lienee it is thut our moro inteUi
gout f'urmcrs und luwyors, nnd mur
chants, nnd physicians, und mechanics,
who have received tlm moel liberal train
ing fui uislmd by the acaduiuivs, rnny

and olnt u piece of ground, and, yet may
not icnow tha philosophical principles of
u pair of steellyards, tho theories of dew
and ruin, tho (lifforuime between a plan
et und a fixed star, the composition of
soap and yeast powders, tho ngo of the
earth, or why half of tho blooms on
nmlon vines full to "set”, and why half
of our porsiuimon trees boar no fruit
from your to year. We do not propose
to recommend leas attention to the clas
sics, and much loss do wo proposo to
d'seutts tho comparative importance of
classical und scientific studies. But,
mere reference to questions lik® of
above and to the great dicsctcgrsplf,
tbo present century, us Jtyrophy, 4-c.,
ruilronds, stenmbonOkc these, winch tin-
shows that Hubbwateriul interests of tho
dorlie the ym not to .bo neglected ia a
county) common school education,
wpho present indifforonco to sciontifle
studies may bo truced to two principal
i*tt :. 1
1st. The neglect of them heretofore in the
oiler Universities. Oxlord and Cam
bridge in England have been tho models,
after which our colleges have boon fash
ioned. In these two, there has been
a very liberal training in the classics
and mathematic* respectively. When
science began its vigorous career ot de
velopment during tho last half contory,
it received very tardy recognition in Ox
ford and Cambridge ; so that twonty
years ago, * professor of geology, who
had a world wido reputation, could com
niuod classes of only a dor.oo or so in
one of theso institutions. Geology wu«
classed among the elective studies not
necessary to n literary degree, and was
hence pursued, not by tho body of stu--
duats, but only by the few who had a
strong partiality for such studies. This
im'lifforonoo has been overcome, in our
American colleges, nnd not only have
the natural science* boon engrafted up*
on tho regular course of study, but many
of our largo co])egi>H hav*> organised
separata sohools, in which choinistry
nnd its applications to agriculture, min
ing, metallurgy und the arte, geology
in its economical bearings, botany, natu
ral history, mechanics, engineering, &o.,
arc taught during a term of three or
moro years. ‘But litis spirit of pro-
gres.t has not rent-hml our common
schools, and they have not overcome
tho old indifference lt>, if not prejudice
against, tlm natural sciences.
2ndly. The leant of thorough education
in the teachers of our common schools, and
thr want f ueccsoarg apparatus.
On account of tho email number ol
college graduates heretofore, tho major
ity of our Uaclicrs lt.ul not tlto requisite
training to enable them to uso appara
tus, and to develops tho branches of
natural science. And, even when n
tench- r, with natural aptitudes, or with
sufficient training, Iiuh attempted to
tenuh tlm Sciences, In' hus been hamper
ed und discouraged by the want of np-
parnlae.
But theso causes for tho neglect of
suiuntifiu studies should bo permitted to
exist no longer. Teachers thoroughly
cducutod cun bo obtuinod for nil our
schools, and proper apparatus can be
prncurod at reasonable rates.
The remedying of this neglect of soionti-
flu studies mutt commence with the teacher*.
Parents commit the instruction of their
children implicitly and without reset vu
lion to tho tenchars. They look to thorn
for suggi ntions, und they adopt proposi
tions for improvements, when properly
presented und urged. It tuny requird
some patience and perseverance in tlto
teacher, to thoroughly infuse into his
patrons tho adoption of plans inching
the expenditure of money ; but, planting
himself upon tlie confidence reposed in
his judgment, lie will hardly fail to sue-
deed ia any plan of improvement, which
ho shall urge with kindly and earnest
euthusiuam.
Let him commence by introducing
text books in naturnl philosophy astron
omy, chemistry, geology and botany or
sou* of tho populur abstracts of those,
into the higher classes of thoso ntudonts,
who do liot oxpeot to attend college,—
Let him give proniinmioo to (hose, bv
familiar talks aad lectures by himself
und by oxperts, in these subjects, let bun
exhibit such familiar experiments as
may bo in his power and ho will soon’
dcvelupe a thirst for this kind of knowl
edge in his pupils, nnd the patrons
catching tlto enthusiasm will furnish the
moans for moro full illustration und in
struction.
Tho npparntus for such a course in
our common schools need not bo large.
One hundred dollars, judiciously expen
ded, will enublo a teacher to exhibit a
number of pleasing and instructive ex
periments, while fivo hundred dollars
will furnish uny outfit quite ample for
tbo wants of au academy. This nppa»

cases, nwuy from dust, and should bo

A well founded opposition to tho pur
chase of apparatus hus originalcu in
the deterioration and destruction of ar
ticles.* Teachers nro changed frequent
