When people get out of the prevailing but foolish notion of thinking that it is more honorable to have a profession than a good trade, and when the reveise of this rather is taught to the young, it cannot fail to have a judicious tendency toward correcting an error which has been fostered long, and lies close to the interests of all. If every man had an occupation that was chosen because he was better fitted for it than for any other, he would be in a condition to enjoy much in life, and his sphere of usefulness and influence would be greatly enlarged. Practical education, with a careful consideration of one’s abilities and deficiencies, with an adaptedness to tho wants and needs of our land, cannot fail to make our con¬ dition much pleasanter and our labor more remunerative.
