EDUCATION.- THE COLLEGE SYSTEM. Where Shall the Common Sclioels Step Christian Advocate. One of the most important features of our American civilization is the develop ment of our college system. We began with a positive and persistent emphasis en the necessity of a thorough training of our young people. The men of the May flower brought with them an ardent love of the highest culture, and the first gen eration of our American, coleuists both in Massachusetts and Virginia, made ar rangements for a superior education for their children's children. Our first cole uial type of New England was the direct offshoot of the liberal and aggressive Cam bridge University. The BrewnUts, who went te Leyden for safety, and then de veloped into the Plymouth colonists, caught their inspiration at that seat of learning, and, later en, the same noble institution supplied a large measure of the reinforcements who shaped both the ecclesiastical and political character of our country. The prevailing tendency was largely theological. All through the early years of Harvard the curriculum consisted of theological and ethical studies. The great New England institu tions which date back into the last cen tury were, almost without exception, founded by preachers a fact repeated at a later day by the most of our Methodist colleges, both east and west of the Alle ghenies Hence the predominance of moral and religious studies during the four years of the undergraduate ; hcuce, tee, the preponderance of ministers among the graduates of the leading colleges of our church. But some important changes are new taking place. The course of study is am plifying in every direction, se that the old theological element has almost entirely disappeared under the weight of the secu lar branches. Our theological semiuaries lender the attention te specially theologi cal studies in the college no longer neces sary. The young man who fce!s impelled towards a proicssie.al life, whether the sacred one or cither of the rest, had better make up his mind at the outset te get a full college preparation, and then that special preparation for the profession which he has chosen. This lengthens out one's time of getting ready te work, it is true. Yeu cannot spring se abruptly into a great calling new as in former years. The people have a wider range of knowledge than in the past,and when one comes before the public as a claimant for its patronage, and as a representative of one of the learned professions, the demand is great upeuliim. He is assumed te be a leaderfrem the very statt, and if he fails te lead wise ly and heroically, he must sink into obliv ion. After all, notwithstanding the in creased time spent in getting ready for a profession ever our predecessors of several generations age, there is far mere time at one's command new than then. When Jehn Adams and Benjamin Franklin went from Philadelphia te New Yerk, te treat with the British general for a cessation of hostilities, it required nearly three d lys for the journey. New, the distance can ceinpabscd in less than three hours. The growth of our colleges h.is been marvelous. Of our three hundred and sixty colleges iu this country nearly two hundred have been organized within thirty years, or since 1830 Iu 1820 wc had only twenty-eight colleges, and we closed the last century with euly twenty col leges. President Eliet, of llarv.ud. says that while the population of the Unit-id States has increased live fold in the sixty years between 1820 and 1880, the number el colleges aud universities has been multiplied by fourteen. The practi cal question heie is : Are we going te mnltiply our colleges indefinitely ; art wc going te add one hundred mere such insti tutions te our elder territory during the remaining part of the nineteenth century ? We hope net. It is high time that we take a breathing spell. What we need new is net te found new colleges, but te make strong the weak ones we new have Per haps it is well that it is se ; but se it is, we have net a siugle institution in the country that is net in need of money. Here we are no worse off than some of our neighbor?. Grand old Harvard is an adroit aud never-satisfied beggar, and the same way he said of all the rest. The hundreds of thousands which Dr. McCosh has added te the Princeton en dewment never came without the askiug or the needing. But we need no new schools just at this time. Historical pro gress comes by waves of concentration and distiibutien. We have distributed widely heretofore, and new we need te conceii cenceii trat.s our educational forces. We need larger and better paid faculties, much larger and richer libraries, new dormito ries and lecture halls, here and there a new chapel, a broader campus, better scientific museums and ether helps, aud occasionally fellowships, and such ether rewards as patient study and noble achievement bring with them. We could name a dozen colleges that are actually suffering for the want of money te place them where they ought te be. Let great caution be exercised in beginning a new one If there is any money te give let it be given te the old ones. That is just new the great educational need of our church, te build up the old and wait many a long day before we begin a new school in our elder territory. One feature connected with the later history of our colleges is the heavy ex pense still imposed en the student. Our laymen, and prechers as well, have given in a princely way for the endowment of our higher schools ; and yet we mus admit that the student still has heavy expenses. We see little cheapening for him. He must still teach, and work at manual em ployments, and borrow money, iu order te pull through te his diploma. The endow meuts have failed te reach his scanty purse. A college education costs mere new than belere our millionaires put up new balls. What does an endowment of a professorship mean if it does net meau some approach te a free use of it ? A larger proportion of yenng men are attending co 1 ge in tie "West than in the East, because they pay less for an education. Much el this expense comes from a certain spirit of class caste which prevails among the students ; and the students themselves are as responsible for the keeping up of heavy expenscs-as the college authorities. What is the use of all this outlay for new fraternity halls, club houses, expensive society publica tions, and various ether class measures for eating up the hard earnings of stu dents? Because seme students can give, there is no leasen vhy all should feel that te sustain their credit as classmen they, tee, must give. We" would like te hear of a few students in everyone of .our colleges rebelling against this des potism, and receive equal honor with the rest from their class. A young man is compelled new te spend as much at Prince ton and Yale as in former times. The MARCH 19, 1881 demand of the class for expenses that de net inure te the benefit of the college treasuiy are constantly increasing, and we would like te' see some methods, or at least the growth of an iudependent spirit which can be made te step it. We had intended te say some strong words en the excessive breadth which is new given te the elective system. Fer ourselves, we like the grand old iron col lege curriculum, which makes a young man study Greek and Latin until his final commencement day, and does net practic ally let him off at the end of the sophe mere year te study ether branches. We knew of scudents electing easier studies, and yet getting their diploma and the bachelor's degree at last. Dees the typ ical college graduate read the classic tongues as well new as his predecessor did twenty-five years age? We have made some comparisons, and though we are no pessimists, the result is in favor of the former graduate. We advise all students te elect the regular college curriculum, and tight it through te the end. His later years will justify his wis:lem and reward him for his choice. What he loses at first iu scope he will gain iu intensity, di rectness and thoroughness. Dr. Higbee's Appointment. Philadelphia North American. There is no disposition in any quarter, se far as we have observed, te attribute the appointment of Dr. Higbee te succeed Prof. Wickcrsham as state superintend ent of public instruction te any p trticular dissatisfaction with the administration of the capable incumbent. Prof. Wickec sham has served with zeal and fidelity, and the common school system has cer tainly improved under his care. The work of establishing the system was done by his predecessors, however, and his office has been te keep the system en the rising grade rather than te break down an inveterate opposition, winch employed the energies of the officers who had geno be fore him. There is no organized opposi tion te the system at present, though crit icisms are indulged iu by many, educators and non-educators, which is net peculiar te the school system, but is te be noted everywhere in the walks of life. There is a necessity for a new departure in public instruction a necessity very generally recognized by intelligent men throughout the state. But whether the governor had this in view when .he ap ap pentcd Dr. Higbec, or net, is net stated. The curriculum covers tee much ground, or it would be better te say that an effort is made te make it cover mere ground than it can cover well. Either our graded schools go tee far or net far enough, aud there is a growing opinion that they go tee far. If the object is te afford an academic education te the pupils in mass, the sys tem docs net go far enough. Ought an academic education te be afforded at the cost of the general taxpayers? Is it any ptrt of wise government te de away with every inducement te self-culture, or culture which otherwise must be sought by young men and young women at some sacrifice ? We de net think that such taking away of inducement te self help is wise. It is better te leave .some thing te be wen by individual endeavor, because education docs net altogether re late te the learning of books, perhaps net even chiefly. The best scholars are such as have added te the curriculums of schools a manly and womanly self reliant habit, and ler the most part such pers his have fought their way upward against seme stages of the tide which ebbs and flews iu the affairs of men and women. There scorns te be a growing sentiment unfavorable te any further attempt te trench upon the domain of independent institutions at the public cost. Wc arc raising a generation of smattcrcrs, who knew the indices of many subjects, but net enough te hurt of the subjects them selves. The rule is that people who knew a little of everything knew net much of anything, and their imperfect knowledge leads te a:i undue confidence in the in dividual. It would be better, we con clude, were the new superintendent te signalize his accession by simplifying the curriculum of the public schools. He will have the normal schools te fall back upon in any event. The public schools ought te be restricted te elementary in struction altogether, leaving the normal schools te supply the academic culture and the art of imparting knowledge te the young. In undertaking te compete with the seminaries the public school system has been forced beyond its demaiu, where it is practically crippled iu doing its proper work. A new man may possibly create a new order of things. The Eusilagv Discussion. Will ine sjstem Pay? Our friend Celin Cameren, of the Eliza beth Farms, writes te the Country Gentle man tli us : The first question that will be asked by the great majority of our farmeis who have been successful that is. who have made money at farm ing, is whether or net it is profitable te ensilage .corn or any ether green grew n.j crop. " Each farmer must, in a manner decide for himself, taking into considera tion the nature of his farm aud the way that the land is managed for the produc tion of grain. I well like the plan of green succulent feed for cattle and horses at all seasons of the jcar, but just hew te grew it and dispense with some ether compulsory grown crop I de net see. Iu our system of farming, corn en a two-year-old grass sod is followed by eats, this by wheat seeded down te grass, and we always get all the hay and fodder we need, but never grain enough. New, if we should adept a system of ensilage and get the fodder from ten acres of corn, green, that we new gt from 100 aeres dry, what use should we make of that 100 acres of fodder that we are compelled te grew for the grain? And the question only in creases in force if wc ensilage the grasses. Leng before the subject was "discussed in your columns the question presented it self te my mind, whether we could net adept this syatem. Iu the present manner of growing corn for the grain, there is necessarily a very large quantity of very valuable cattle feed besides the grain it self. In the feeding of it we have never considered necessary, nor acknowledged the gieat benefits of, roots as an accom panying feed. Being tee far from the cities the purchase of manure is out of the ques tion, and root growing, ether than en the best manured and cultvated land, is un profitable. Such, at least, after several trials, we have found it te be. We de concede that the coats of cattle will leek sleeker and they will drink less water, when fed en reqts, and consequently in cold weather and in cold stables leek better. The same can be said of steamed feed, but in warm stables, with, water te drink that is of such temperatv.rj as cattle should have, I have ycj; te see the man tb.it could, by handling or sight, tell tha loetl they eat. Kuewiug by long practi cal experience the value of corn fodder, we cannot threw it away and net biingable te get the grain without it, we feed it, and with pient. Nevertheless, if there is in ensilage one-fourth et what its most san guine advocates claim, we shall be ready te adept it at once, provided that they cau divide the cultivated land of the farm for the nroductien of its several crops, and yet show that ensilage is profitable. Specialists and enthusiasts in the grow ing of one certain crop often overlook the fact that the American farmer- mast se divide his sources of revenue, as net te be swamped by the failure of any one. In order te get a satisfactory answer, I would ask hew te arrange a farm and the growing of the crops upon it, under a sya tem of ensilage. I mean a farm new run en the old plan, which has at present ISO acres in wheat, 150 in grass, and ISO te plant in corn, and the same te be sewed in eats There is besides this arable land, ever. 400 acres suitable for pasturage only. The farm must carry 30 head of horses, 200 head of cattie, 300 sheep and 50 hogs. We de net wish te curtail the grain pre ducing area one acre. In truth we can new produce only about one-third of what we feed. What we de want is te grew mere grain mere fat producing feed at less cost, and with it, if possible, te adept ensilage, but net at the cost of losing the use of feed that we knew is valuable. We have in different years cut the corn from several acres sewn broadcast about as thick as it would grew, averaging 8J feet high, aud we have a very distinct rec ollectien that it was hard, heavy and dis agreeable work. The books show that it cost mere te get it off thau some parties say theirs cost in their pits. Th e same books show that the yield in weight was net near what they claim. Our acres were measured, the work was paid for, and the corn was weighed." Anether Opinion. Mr. Wm. Crezfer, a New Yerk farmer, of celebrity, who use root feed for his cattle says : "In the field where I grew my mangelds I take a team and plow six or seven furrdws of the length I wantthe silo, as he calls it. I plow about twelve or fifteen inches deep and about six feet wide. The length of the pit varies accord ing te the number of tens te be put in it. The earth is then shoveled out en each side. This is all. I then have my roots taken up, four rows being placed together; a one-horse tip-cart fellows and collects the roots, the herse being backed up and the roots dumped into the pit prepared as above. My carts each held 30 bushels, which will take up one yard of the pit. The mangelds are piled up from the six feet bottom about 3J feet, becoming sharp at the top, giving the pile the suape of a long prism. I then cover with a little straw or salt hay the tops of the mangelds would de fully as well but I prefer te feed them te my stock en this the earth taken out of the pit is shoveled. The only ex pense is for a few tiles te put en the top for ventilation, as I wish te let the heat pass off and keep my roots sweet and fresh until the following June. My "silo" holding 300 tens of mangelds, cost about $4, besides say one 4 inch tile te every 12 feet, or 75 tiles for the 900 feet I had a letter from a German farm er. who in his youth had te take a geed d eal of sai'cr krant. He says he still takes a little new and then, but en a cold winter's day he wants solid feed. Many say the cow will eat ensilage. Certainly she will but hew much will it benefit her? Hew much fat will a 1,000 pound cow gain en 70 pounds of ensilage per day? Hew much solid feed is there in this 70 pounds? Seme of our learned friends say net mere than C per cent. If this is se, then cattle will de well en air and water. If the gen tleman had said that cattle would eat 200 peuuds, then I would have mere belief in the matter. It is my opinion that if we feed ensilage te our cattle, pleuro-pneu-menia will spread far and wide. The German and French peasants living near large cities where land is worth from $400 te 8500 an acre, raise truck for city and village markets. Tbcy make pits the same as the above, and put all the tops of the vegetables in them, and cover them up with earth, and this they repeat with two or three crops in a seaaen, but it comes out in the winter like tea leaves after they have been steeped (net se green as people in America say the ensilage comes out) ; but hew long de they run their cattle en this? Only a short time you will find. Yeu will remember that the first case of pleuro-piicumenia ever heard of in Amer ica was traced te German or Dutch cattle. Ensiiage will eventually injure the cons:i cens:i cons:i tutien aud weaken the lunge of cattle. Cows, they tell us, de better en brewers' grains. Hew long de they de better? My advice is se often asked, that I beg te inquire whether you ever beard of ensilage being fed by a breeder en the Channel Islands or iu England? I think net. Therefore I beg te say, be net tempted by this new plan of feeding, for if you de, time will tell its true worth, as it did for me in steaming feed for breeding ani mals. A Millionaire's Magnificent MeBumeat. The following is the plan and descrip tion of a monument te be erected at Fredericksburg, Lebanon county, by Jehn II. Lick. The base of the monument will be fourteen by fourteen feet, vestibule in the centre, with air-tight catacombs, six iu number, placed in the sides. Opposite the entrance deer there will be a window te supply light te the interior. The style of architecture is Gothic, ornamentally carved and embellished. The exterior walls and reef are of New England cran ite, and all surface is highly polished, with tooled margin draft along the edges The interior will be of the finest surface glazed Carrara marble, the reef and ether fixtures are of Munich bronze. The windows will be made of stained glass, the upper portions showing a white dove descending with an olive branch in the -beak, emblematic of peace and rest. The lower parts are artistically embelished with glass of different colors. The ceil ing is a Gothic arch ornamented with tracery, and it has a bronze ventilator in the upper portion. The doorway is of white Italian marble, with black granite columns. The reef is a cress gable, sur mounted with dome, and is formed of granite slabs, put en ee as te be self-sup porting and water proet, viz : a nonew truncated pyramid supporting the dome is placed diagonally ever the vestibule, se that the sides of the pyramid form the valleys te carry off the rain .water from the gables. All the joints of the reefing stones will overlap te prevent leakage, and there are none left open and exposed te the weather.
