To promote the happiness and the excellence of the individual, to render him a valuable member of scciety, and to accustom hira to aspire, by the reg ular discharge ofall bis religious a and awaits the good in a feware world, are! the great ends which should be kept in view, in the education of all, what ever place in society they may be des- tined to cccupy, from the son of the meanest coltager, to the heir apparent to the throne. But the indefinite ve- riety of relations in which men stand to each other, requires a corresponding variety of acquirements, to enable them to fill ther respective stations witl respectability and satisfaction to them- selves, and with advantage to the com- munity to which they may beloog. ducation, therelote, is either general or particular—general while it regards us as sentient, moral, and intellectual beines, susceptible of happiness, anc capable of improvement ; particularly. when it 1s designed to qualify us fore sore statisn or occupation in life. : short, education, in the strictest accep tation of the word, comprehends every thing which has any influence in de veloping the powers of the mind; an the tendzncies of the heart ; therefore. its object is to cultivate the intellectu- al and mora and education Ie} aood or bad, proper or improper, Com [plete ov deficient, as the course of dis. sipline is more or less conducive to the means a ob tat a but, until a larger nun r of the com munky seems more FiEhty {0 estimate the ad vantages resulting from a well oultivat-} © ed mind, & manifests a greater dive sition to aid and encourage the whereby this is to be. correctly ed, we cannot expect this ber sefictal] and bighly desirable object to be ef fected. There are somie parents, in| deed, who have iiberal minds, and who me VS: are possessed of a tnly cultivated % taste, that know the ineffable advanta-| ges and delights which fare derived from a careful and correct education ; and ave, therefore, desirous that their children should enjoy the same refine-| ment of mind, the same intellect ual resources, and a rational themselves. But the sordid and iit erate cannot, by the most direct reason- ing, be made to comprehend the val- ue of these attainments, the mast im- portant object of which, is, to purily the taste, cultivate the mind, barmon- iz2 the affections, improve the ueder- standing and heart's, and enhance the! dignity of human vaiure.

"The excellence simply d here, as the result of a pood education, be been attained by many, few aie 1a- capable of attaining 1t; and it is this capability which renders education an! obj=ct of such incaicuiable impottanc and such deep responsibility, to all] who have the charge’ of forming thej. human mind.
