r EDUCATION. -
In a convcrsjti''n with some intelligent gentlemen a few
days since, the question was asked, whether there ought
not to be more than three learned professions? We repli
ed that the olfice of Teachers ought to be elevated to the
dignity of a learned profession. Tina opinion was gi*-en
at the moment, without mica previous reflection. A
more mature consideration of the subject ha3 abundantly
confirmed this oil-hand suggestion.
There are mmy able divines whose reading exttndshnt
little beyond the lids of tbe^ncred volume—many eminent
physicians whose skill and celebrity have been advanced
b** the medical library alone—many efficient and profound
lawyers whose info mention is bounded by those branches
immediately connected with their own profession. But
wiore is the boundary that ought to limit tbe ext< nt and
variety of the Teacher’s attainments? How miserable
and glaring must appear his deficiencies, if his mind is not
stored with the deep and varied resources necessary to the
successful practice of this first of Professions? It should
embrace the eJenaents atjeast of every branch of knowl
edge and ducalion. It is the office ©f the Teacher to lay
the foundation of every other profession. It is his office
to impart the first lessons cf religion, morality, patriotism,
law, medicine, science generally, polite learning, (he fine
arts, indostry, economy and virtue. In a lew words,
there is no situation in life public or private—no employ
ment, male or female, to which the- office of a qualified
teacher is not mare or less important. There is no de-
partment of business to .which a thorough and intimate
acquaintance with the philusirphy oTihe human mind and
knowledge of the human character arc in essential as to
that of the Teacher. No intelligent man will deify the
truth of these positions—no respectable teacher wilt queg.
tion them. Yet we would respectfully ask, where is there
a class of men and women so . ill prepared for their pro
fession as the great majority of those who preside over
the minds, characters and manners of our children? How
lew among (hem seem to have-felt the dignity and impor
tance-d their employment, and the high responsibilities of
their station !
We are rejoiced therefore to see Ihal sucb men a*
Brown, Cummin anJ others are enlisting the^public atten
tion On die important subject of a Convention of Teachers.
We shall resume (be subject. For tlte present, we will
close by suggesting to those beoefaclors of mankind a ques
tion for their consideration—whether an Institution slumhi
not he orgauized in, our Stale or country for the purpose of
preparing men and women fur the profession of Teaching—
a college if you ;dea*t?—in tbe saiue way that we have
medical, law, and divinity Colleges.
