time-honored methods wtiloh Jio at the lourjda
tion 01 tliut scholastic and collegiate system
which liti shiped the nieutal history ol Cbiis

Classics never held on undue proiuinenre, and
at a tune when every jTlnoipul university in the
land is adapting us ciirnculum to what are
called "the ncl' of our uuie," we still hear tbe
old denunciation ot "iuitj teaching abort
words" the old d'uianl f) "teach,
about fac;s and tliini!." And yet it is as hard
to tind any tungible res alts ot ibis excssive
"teactiiDg about words,' us to tiud where it it
practised. Wh-re is Hint mastery of our native
tongue which is admitted 10 be the result of
this too careful tr iiniug in the classic f Is it

It will be seen, iroin these mere sucrgestiou9.
that a caretul survey ot tue lield ot prietieal
life wouia afford room for a de'euse id' the ol ier
niethfids ot education on the urouud of tuugibie
and easily recogniz-thie utility. The methods
which "ave our lathers their high mental capa
city for ilealin? with 1 be lafiiest biibjeets should
not be lightly cast asi le by their children. The
culture winch made tbem the men they were
should not he despised us useless.
But on tie ground of tbe higher usefulness
the very prOutid on which every believing utili
tarian depends his ftiuh, bis liible, and the in
stitutions ot his domestic and social life the
case is stronger still.
The question is in regard to what is useful in
education, i. e., best udapted to secure the eud
in view. Hut what is the end in view. Tha
two creat rival systems of education tbe
"practical"' (as it is called) and tbe "s iholastic"
the technical and the liberal manifestly do
not seek the tame end, and hino tenths of tbe
abuse heaped upon the latter of the two. rests
upon the assumption that the end sought by
the fotnier is tl e only desirable or pmctieal oue,
I. Tbe 'scholastic" or more properly, the
liberal system, accepting the study of laagaage
and ot tbe pure niaiU'iuaues as tbe primary
methods of mental dii-ciplire, deals with man a
nan, as po-so.-sed of a higher nature, as asso
ciated with bis lellow-uieu by natural bonds of
reason, speech, memory, and hibtory; and also
as capable ot apprehending absolute and pure
tiuth. In tav'juoije it unds the tie w hich asso
ciates man with hi's lelloss, and a'so the records
w hich tell us of tbe pa-t, an I the wituess to the
unity 01 the 1 ace. I u the uviOn-nuUica it sees the
method by which th" reason is brought to grasp
tbe certainties of lit, to contemplate tbe un
changeable trutu w Inch depend on 110 mau's
thouuht, nn I winch cannot be otherwise than it
is. In all case it neurits man at) an end iu
himself. It seek1 to develop bis. humanity, the
powns which belong to hiui us uiau, uud that
lor their own sake.
II. Tbe "piai: li'ii!." or "scientific'' -or. nnre
properly, the techtiicil system, on tue otii-r
hand, adopting tbe study of "the practicul
acituccs as its method, looks on uiau not as
itu end in lrriu-elf, but as a means to some
further end. It seeks, not to muko him more
tinman, more like Cod's thouuht when He said,
"Let Us iniiKC man iu Our uau imatre;" but
merely more capable of "eetiing on iu the
world" iu tome one of liie 'thousand ways of
tiratifylng all the desires ol that lower nature
which puts selfbeiore humanity a ml truth, as
the end ol life. It lays no ( heck 011 tbe ruiuous
sclhsh .tendencies of man and society. Nay.it
ct couriieeg Hu m. It unvotes tbe most plastic
years of ihe youuglite to stu lies whose ultimate
end is the heaping loyethn ot tins world's toads.
It divides men into catej uud cl ciues, as well
by l ie multiplicity ot iu mettio is as by the
selllshiiess of its ends. It seeks the develop
mem ol men, not us men, but or their technical
bklll us nieoibprs of some profession, cuiliug or
business; It tells us, when cou-tttcut with
itselt, that the mo ig no more than meat tne
body no nioie than raiment, and that true
Wisdom Is causa vicendi perdfre cuusis. it
takes common irouud with the cbampuns of
slavery, tyranny, and "free trade," iu ibat it
leoks on n an as a means, and not an cn4 in
himself.
It is useless to rlr-al that iu such and such
Siven rases, tbe icsults do not jusiity such a
tuiptiou, Kfttuic and tocicty ever set biui
and bounds to tbe effects of human folly,

Could we analyze all tie applied to in

"scholastic" or liberal ty8u.ln, we hare no fear
of the result. No r for lu8tnnce, furnishes,

What was Mr. Lincoln's education? lis had
certainly no very extensive acquaintance with
t lie sc.ences. Uis ktiowl'dg'3 of ChloinoIoJV
probably extended to the lliee and buas ot the
Western prairies; in botany he knew tbe tree
lrom each other; iu ichthyology he piobablr
knew the several species ol U-.li that frequent
the iluuL'ibh streams ot Illinois and so oa
through the ciicle of the sciences. Nor are we
able lb associate any ol these accomplishments
with his great Intellectual eipacitks. Hp becuis
at tirt sicbt to have b' come what he was
without any education . all, aud to realize the
dream tf the poet:

"Labors of Hercules." In the wide round of
his activities he has never tiavelled from tbe
purpose with which he setb forth a vali tut
boy bent on being, throueh toil and constancy,
a consummate muster ot bis belovel art.
While I red suriace notes 011 him, in
which he I-, presented 10 my countrymen
as one who l as made a hop, skip, and jump
into tbe temple ol Fame, I call him to mind
fourteen years ago, when I tlist saw him
shaping the legend of theJ-'Wan ler 112 Je.v," iu
his modest quarters, hint Dominique 8'.. (Jcr
maiii. 1 have b en shocked with this memory
nptn me to see him noticed as a hasty producer
ol iilii'irations; the tact be ng that in his
earliest diy, when the tcmp'atiou to over pro
duction was ereatest, he l.ved in a dreamland
ol li'dh ihouehf, and was rapid because he
was intense. Tbe aim was theu what it is now.
A great ideal hes behiud the artist's life, to
whu h he attends, living laborious days. It is
because some fourteen y cai 5 ago I had the happi
ness to set beioro the readers of the Athenwum
Don 's eBrly work of promise ''The Wandering
Jew" and because since that time 1 have
wa'ched his art at his elbow, that I am.
anxious to explain his presence iu llond street
as that of a noble worker, as well as a brilliant
(.miiis. Observe Dore's popular work. Tase
bun from 1818, when a boy, he produced "Ihe
Labors ot HerculcB" in tbe ruidtof a revolu
tion! The first work was followed by some
rare albums. Wi'o has touched Rabelais as
Dore interpreted him berore he had come to
man's e-tate? Rabelais appeared in 185:1; in
the following Tear the weird dreams of tbo
Wandering jew. We shall see a silken thread,
running through all these years, from the
"Wandering Jew'' the artist betook hlmselt to
tbe mighty dreanilwi 1 of Dante (18til). Of
tbe traces in the immense ranee of stiojects
graspe I in "Don Quixote" (lii:i); ot this and
something more. The little pictures are a
new charm light aud true aud humorous
showing tbe ilius'rator of Ribelais
graced aid strengthened by years ot study.
'J he quick sense of the picturesque, the coiu
pleteLCss with which the knight and his mau
aie conceived, the exquisite bits of, and hints
at, Spanish scenery and types, tire evidences of
the kind of student who crossod Ihe U.das-o'i
loine six years ago, and stole e!uure at dark
ejts under the mantilla, and feasted on the
sweet, rich licht-and shade ot Peninsular cities.
The.-e pencil touches are grace ot a man of
power in his play fnl mood, wl o has Mr. Glad
stone's idea ot recreation. To Dore pi ly is but a
char rp of employment. He wbo wants to see

fruits which every artist who religiously

mate Dore and chat'fr about him as the hero ot

How should they kuow that which is pretty
