Mr. Pkesirext, ladies and geDtlemen,
teachers of Forest Co. : ' .
I am liannj to meet you this morn-
ng to encourago too' in yollf noble
work, and I will endeavor to lay before
you a few facts which may help you
n tho echoof tonni and every day life.
The age in which we live is an ago
of facts, great discoveries and progress
al! directions. ".The railroad has
become the magician's rod ,the electro
telegraph a wire or wonders, and ether
and'chloroforin mysterinos alchemies.
A tooth can bo extracts I, a legcuto if,
or an incision made into the' sensitive
parts, and the patient at the close ask
if the operation has begun. '..Speeches
uttered at ten o'clock at night are
printed while we are asleep and they
appear in beautiful type upon our
breakfast tables, at eight o'clock in the
moruiug. lhe rapidity with", which
change follows change is remarkable.
Things that took a century to do some
time ag), arc nowfiaished oflT in the
course ot a day. Events follow upon
events; crisis comes crushing upon
crisis, that we no sooner begin to won
der at one than we are overwhelmed
by the startling splendor of another.
The whirlwind is the chariot of the
nineteenth century; the lightnings
arc its lamps; days disappear like
mile posts; politicians and cabinets
ike stations ; and occasional crashes
only serve to urge on at a. greater
peed those who are behind. Every
body seems to act as if he felt the time
was toft short and the remainder of the
world barely sufficient' to accomplish
the great work he has to do.. On they
rush and if any falls down, like ' the
wolves ef old who ate up tho weary
ones, ne is trodden down una cast
away. ,
Look at our progress in education
to-day compared with the past. What
a profound geographer was the boy
half a century ago who' could repeat
without failure the capital of every
State in the Union! . What an object
of admiration the lad who could cipher
ia. fractions, and the rule of three!
What a cyclopedia of knowledge was
tie who could tell the very day of the
adoption of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, and could prove to our sat
isfaction that tho sun did not rise in
the east! How charming those days
when Webster's spelling book . was a
work of deep research ; Gough's Arith
metic the 'sutrt of mathematical- sci
ence, and our worshipful school mas
ter, next to George Washington, the
greatest tuati in the Union. The joy
ous holidays, the trainings, the anni
versaries, the vacations, how did the
very thoughts of them once thrill tho
heart with pleasure I
Such was the school : yet thero the
spirit of many a strong man was disci
plined for a noble purpose. The school
ia still growing in power, : The school
how vast its influence, how grand
the results it has wrought out, how in-
dispensable to tho full education of
tho young. ' The college may form the
few, but the school ii the mother of
the many ; the college may perfect the
teacher, but the millions of the taught,
who in time as fathers and mothers
are to teach the jouug in their fmt
stage ol education ; who are to -move
the vast operetlons of human society,
build cities and towns, reclaim the
earth from its curse and bid it bring
forth food and flowers, spread com
merce from continent to cootinent.anj
make the desert bloom with all tho
life of civilization : jthese reverence the
school as their Alma Maler,
From her walls they go forth pos
sessed of the elements of intelligence,
and prepared to cultivate the bounte
ous heritage given to them of their
Heavenly Father. They ascend the
mountains, they fill tho valleys ; they
cover the plains, they compass the
sea; they sustain all uoble institutions,
and amidtt all their wonderings they
look back with thanksgiving to this
their noble mother.
The three great ends of education
are, to communicate the most import
ant information, to train the wind, j
and to form .the character. . To aid
you in the great work 'as teachers,
keep your eyes open tofacts.whichyou
will -meet every day in tho school
room, in business, in society. Without
facts there is no knowledge: only fan
cier, theories, speculations, various and
fleeting as the clouds. .
The child who mistakes the forms in
the sky for the palaces and angels is
as just in his opinions as the man who
takes tho form of his imagination for
realities, lhe neglnct of facts, the
disposition to create their appearan
ces, andeave theories out of the brain
alone, kept the world in tlarlcncsa and
held scicncaJback for centuries. Note
down every fact ; different varieties if
temperaments, habits and tastes. Let
your mind be ever awakTto the forms
and realities around you ; let not ap
pearances deceive you. In this way
you will train the mfnd in use them for
some good purpose. Tho intellect
must be accustomed to grasp, to com
bine, to 6eperate, to classify. It must
learn to reason on facts ; ' to -reach
correct inferences;" to make one result
a firm foundation on which to proceed
to a higher result.- This" power of
asserting the processes of thought, of
keeping the imagination in check, of
discriminating between tho-false and
the true, and after examining tho dif
ferent parts, arriving at just conclu
sions, is in itself a possession most
precious in all circumstances.
In addition to this try and master
the language in which you are to com
municate iu tho school rooru and in
every day life. Every teacher should
investigate its copious vocabulary, its
terms of science, its capacity for sub
tle thopght, for deep impression, for
the clear unfolding of his thoughts on
all subjects. This he should do in
order to the acquirement on tho one
hand of spijre diction, nnd on the
other of corject style of composition.
Tho power of exprcs3innj oneself in
language,.clear, simple, correct, and
impressive, is prgreat importance. A
lame, slovenly, ungrammnti iWtyle f
speech indicates the neglect of the
noble instrument of thought and in
tercommunication between mind and
mind; a failure to. train aright the
fine faculty of laiiguaga by "which so
ciety ia so. much distinguished and
blessed. On the other hand (he abili-
ty to write .correctly, to commit readi
ly and clearly one's thoughts to paper,
is of no secondary consequence. ...
Essential, in some pursuits, it is use
ful in all; nor can any "youth justly
regard himself prepared for life, much
less fpr the pffico of teacher, ? w ho has
failed to attain the power of composi
tion. . . . .. . .
Aim at a mature judgment; of this
you hare laid the foundation already.
But id the school room, as well as in
society, you have a wide field for its
exercise, and nuraerooVxigencos , to
develop it more perfectly.. The're are
some theories to discard, some Imagin
ations to reduce, some day-dreams to
dissipate. The application of just
principles t practice is a high attain
ment; it constitutes ripe judgment;
it distinguishes one man above another
for practical wisdom. The possession
of such principles is a good thing, but
it is a much better, thing to be able to
apply them just when and where they
aro most needed.
" There ore some, in whom correct
principles are like loose jewels hid
den and unless ; thero are others in
whom, they are like those jewels, set
by the hand of a master, and flashing
fortl their beauty before the eyes of
men. There are some, who, with all
their learning, never learn Low to'act
in society, so as to attain the confi
dence of others and prosecute ' a - suc
cessful plan of life. 'There. are often
others of far less intelligence, who
readily seize upop the true principles
of action, and early learu how best
to apply, whose practical judgment
and tact is worth far more as an' ele
ment f success. ,&ud happiness thau
the mere knowledge ot books. It is
one of the most important parts of ed
ucation to attain the power of judg
ing, ns by instinct, of the true, the
right, the pure, the appropriate, the
profitable.
The mind should possess a judg
ment like a flaming two-edged sword,
turning every way to prevont the
entrance of evil into your own soul
and obliging others to recognize its
power. This judgment, thus secured,
should.be sustained by firmness of
purpose. Decision of character is not
an appropriate attribute of a genuine
man alone; "It gives consistency and
thought to the true womin guided by
strong sense and intelligence, pervaded
by gentleness, and expressing itself in
that refinement of manners which
adorns her life. Elevated far above
obstinancy it imparts stability to all
that is lovely and precious, and fur
nishes a firm grouud of confidence in
respect to usefulness. '
. To this firmness of purpose may be
added refinement of manners. True
refinement has its source in tho heart
and its deepest fountain is genuine re
ligious faith. This you 6hould seek as
above all things most valuable. With
manners refined and gentle, breathing
the nobility of kindness to all w ithin
your influence, without assumption or
ttar, without boldness or timidity,
with this happy mean of gentleness,
modesty and self-assurance, ready
to bear your part- in the intercourse
of life and contribute your quota to
promote the interests of society, you
will have profited by the educational
influence around you nnd reached a
position from which you may accom
plish great good. :....
To the ladies present, in the words
of the devoted Leigh Richmond, "Be
cheerful, be not gigglers; be serious,
but not dull ; be communicative, but
not forward ; be kind, but Bet servile.
Beware of Billy, thoughtless Tspeeches,
although you may forget them, others
will not. Remember God's eye is in
every company. Beware of levity and
fatniliarity with young men a modest
reserve without affectation is the only
sale path. Court and encourage con
versation with those who arc truly se
rious and conversable. Do not gointo
valuable company without endeavor
ing to improve by the intercourse per
mitted to you. JNothing is more un
becoming when one pnrlof a company
is engaged in . profitable conversation
than that another part should be trifling
giggling and talking nonsense to . each
other. Bfs..'f ' '
But aliihese Sutvaments will be in
vain without industry. True genius is
industry, industry the first law.. of
success. : .
There ara some teachers who are
mere shirkers and not workers; who
content' themselves with half-studied
lcsspus j who congratulate themselves
that boys and girls will never know
tho difference. Such teachers ought
to hear their scholars say to each oth
er, "I am tired of such baby-talk ; how
we cornered him with thai question.
He don't study his lesson worth a cent."
(Be studious. Evnry hour has its
own work to do. No day passes with
out some new liuo traced out on the
canvas of life. By patient iodu.-dry
you will as surely work out. a glorious
issue, a fine and noble, developemeut
of the intellectual man aud woman, as
the revolutiotrof tho earth brings forth
the changing seasons.' By meutal ap
plication you may encircle your pro
fessions - with- intellectual light, and
open in the book of civilization a new
leaf of glory. Remember that Science
and Art, far fiom being in the decrep
itude of age we have reason to believe
are yet in their vigorous youth, and
there aro yet to be ascended eminences
of intellectual achievements towering
into the heaVehsj aa far above the past
. I. - ! ij ? , l T 1 1

and the sublime dome of St. Peter's
exceed in vastness aud beauty the log
cabins of out- western wilderness.
As parents, brotheis, sisters and
friends, we claim vou as co-workers in
performing the duties devolving upon
upod you. You take your position
now as teaehers, iu society. The days
of boyhood eud girlhood are past. As
educated men' and women of disci
plined minds and formed judgments.
you are called upon to do your part in
training the mind and lorming the
character of those committed to your
care, as well as minister to the ad vauc-6-
meut of society, and share iu all those
practical efforts essential to its refine
ment and el&vatiou.
As you enter this field of labor, you
will find a process of action and re
action between you and new elements
around you. Hitherto vou may have
been the gay, careless spirit a singing
bird, joyous in the mere consuioudnebg
of a vigorous existence ; or you have
been theorizing, epcculatiug, lookiii
at things iu the abstract, disciplining
the mind lr iuture action. .JNow you
enter upou the praotical duties of life,
Your opinions, if formed, are to be
tested ; if not fully formed they are to
be matured and settled aiuidtt the
cotlictd of the school room, l'rinci
pies are now to bo applied to practice;
the discipline ot the mind made avail
able in meeting questions which con
stantly arise.
You are to give as well as receive
instruction with profit and pleasure;'
you are to shed around you a., quiet,
luminous, refreshing influence, not as
noisy debitors, not as vociferous . and
random talkcre, .not as vain prnsumers'
on the license granted to vouth and
beauty, but as educated Jadits aud '
gentlemen, whose studies have invig
orated their understandings and qual-.
ificd them to net a sensible part in so-'
Ciety. You will be obliged, in your "
intercourso with others, to hear opin
ions that are! crude,, and often false
sentiments, not only untrue, but of a
most destructive tcudency. Jyifo affff1

how to discriminate the evil amidst its

And now, ladies and gentlemen, if
fin ninr.li is t-enuired tn fit nnd nnalifv
i , j
yon ai teachers, how solemn and re-
sponsioie the position you occupy,
Into your care we commit our deaf"
boys and girls, whoso minds you are
f . .Ill t f A U'KaOA rliaiArf,la PAI1 VY.-W
mould for time and for eternity. They
are to be the boys and girls of the fu
ture. Ihey will take your place in
the school room. They will become
fathers and mothers; they will fill our
pulpits, preside in our courts. As
physicians they will attend "the sick
and the dying. They will stand ri
our legislative halls, occupy the Senate
chamber, end perhaps bit in the Fresi-
is your calling ; what brilliant pros
pects open before you.
lu . view of all this, let roe ask you,
ns a miuister nnd as a friend, to bar
religious. You may bo moral without
being religious, but you cannot be
truly religious without being moral. 1
cure not how great, your intellectual
attainment may be, or what amount
f . . -...I.: u
world, it will profit you' nothing, nay
more? your life will be a,, miserable
failure, if you lose vour precious and .
immortal soul. Without religion in
telligence is ouly a bund torce, such
as Milton has embodied in his gigan
tic creation, of the prince of fallen an
gels. Without it no man or woman is
perfect. Reason may be God-like, but
true religion iu the heart is more truly '
Deity itself.
If you would be a man iu all his
nobler characteristics, if you wonld be
a woman in all her true virtues your
hearts must beat true' to every right
affection. Intellectually no person is
perfect who is the slave of vice, there
is a cog broken out of the wheel.
There is mental weakuss which re
veals itself iu the loftiest intellects of
this class the world has ever seen. In
religion are found the deepest que-'
