SCHOOLS .- SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
learn his catechism at church, and study his arithmetic at school, and still have his three-fold nature symmetrically developed, if he had good instruction in all these places. Nor does it follow that there can be no right physical training, without the distinct and obvious presence of the moral and the intellectual ; and no right moral training, without the intellectual and the physical in close admixtion. In other words, it is not necessary that the carpenter who would instruct an apprentice well, should embody the school-master and the minister ; nor that the minister should be both school-master and master-mechanic, in order, most successfully, to explain religious truth.
On opposite sides, two classes of people seem to think that the common schools need an " annex : "-on the one side, a shop with tools; and on the other, a church. The shop and the church are necessary and incalculably useful ; but these must be in some degree distinct ; they stand as it were in separate yards ; for people prefer to select their own trades, and to choose their own church.
The State of Massachusetts is not, in respect to education, what the Spartan State used to be. In that ancient republic of aristocrats, the boy was taken from his parents at an early age, fed and clothed, and trained not only physically, but morally and intellectually according to the light of that early day. The girls received no public education. They were left to their mothers. The government, so far as the boys were concerned, was paternal; it assumed all the functions of the parent.
In our modern republic, the fundamental and democratic idea is that every man should be free; and that the government- which is the mere expression of the popular will, and impersonal -should leave the individual to himself as much as possible, and confine itself to preventing the interference of one with another. It takes cognizance of education, and maintains schools, as a necessity in preventing the encroachments of ignorance, in a republic where all men are endowed with political power. In the system of schools, moral instruction is recog- nized in a general way ; and industrial training is not lost sight of. For all instructors of youth are required "to exert their

best endeavors to impress on the minds of children and youth committed to their care and instruction the principles of piety and justice and a sacred regard to truth; " and " sobriety, industry and frugality." * But these schools do not, as in the Spartan State, undertake the whole of education, even during the brief period of school attendance required ; they do not board and clothe the children; and the same. statutes which created them, also recognize the family and the church.
If the above observations are correct, then the work of education still belongs to a large extent to parents ; and it is the purpose of these suggestions to remind them that their duty to their children is not done when they have sent those children to school. The young should be taught the duty and the necessity of earning their own living. The schools hint at this duty, and incidentally they should aim to inculcate the obligation ; but the main part of this kind of training is left to the parents. Are there any who make slaves of themselves, in trying to shield their children from all work ? And are the schools to be blamed for the resulting evils ? The young should be trained in morality and virtue. The schools work day by day incidentally, and often with pleasing results, to this end. But these schools, in a few hours daily, and for a few months in the year, can not complete the training necessary in this direction. Do parents satisfy their consciences when they entrust their children to our excellent teachers, and then fail to counteract the influences of the street, and of all sorts of society into which those children may be thrown-influences which the teacher may not be able to control ?
INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION
Is authorized by Statute; and in a few of the towns and cities of the Commonwealth, schools have been opened for giving instruction, a part of the time, in the use of carpenters' and other tools. Whatever may be thought of the extension of the field of common school training, to include the manual occupa- tions, it has not yet been done in this city; and there is no

immediate prospect that it will be done, till the means of doing the appropriate work of the schools shall have been more fully provided. Parents should be reminded that the duty of train- ing the children morally, physically, industrially, and to a con- siderable extent intellectually, still rests largely with them, if those children are to attain the highest possible excellence, even though the schools do all which schools can do.
