It is, therefore, Physical, Literary, Mor'tl and Religious. Now the reason why the Common School system has fattest to a gteat extent to4,_ac complish what it should, is that the true meaning of Education has never been fully comprehended. Educators instead of con sidering man as alt nine being —composed of a Mind, a body and a soul —have looked noon him as a unit, and have apparently (I would regret to Pay really,) forgotten thip., he has art immortal destiny, and that of all the creaturestd Earth, he alone will never die. tenth have been treated rot their tle velopinent„ more is oh regard to their pecu niary welfaie than anything else.
