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-
