Some prefer the ancient languages and literatures, others pre- fer the modern. Exclusively practical men demand the sci- ences and the useful arts, and the wholly ignorant men think that no one needs anything more than reading, writing and arithmetic. The cultivators of special departments of science put in their claims, too. The geologist, who has gained the most of his culture and distinction from geology, asks a place for his favorite science in every course of study for the young. The botanist recommends every child to learn the names of all the flowers of the field; the naturalist insists on the names of all the fowls'of the air and all the fishes of the sea. These ideas radiate from the great intellectual centres, and find their advocates in every society, who demand for them a hearing. By this pressure on all sides, men of the soundest sense and broadest view in matters of education are more or less influ- enced, and every High School of the State gets twice as much work to do as can be done well. The only cure for, this is to select those branches of learning which open the widest views into external nature and the mind of man, and sternly to reject all others of less general range, to which there is not time to give duc consideration. By adhering to this course a sufficient length of time, we shall get, it seems to me, the most learning and the best mental discipline for all.
Respectfully submitted,
