STATE NOEHAL SCHOOL.
Concluded from last week. "ilan is
the noblest work of God" but tbe mind
which is to live through endless ages is of
ten ruined by experiments and our youth's
become rowdies and outcasts, htfslc the
for the prison and the scftffh," the fratra
eonvict, the midnRVuse of his cvime.and
cide, in his oat" of a hundred will answer,
ninf'W culture, mental and moral train-
mg. ignorance nas ueen iub uic uumu,
and it costs the State more than does the
education of her children, who are to rule
her destiny and preserve her liberty. The
rules of morality consist in our duty to
God and mankind. That right, not might,
is the rule of action. To train the heart
willingly to perform deeds of benevolence
and mercy, to do what is right between
man and man, and reject all that is wrong.
In short it is to train the soul for immor
tality and happiness when it shall leave its
house of clay and wing its flight to bright
er mansions than man's creativo power
can give. The trifold training of the mind,
cultivation of the heart, and discipline of
the bodv cannot bo separated. It is high
ly essential that every faculty and power
of the pupil receive its due proportion of
culture. To cultivate one facidty and ne
glect the other, would be injurious to the
interests of all the rest. In the days of
knight errantry and romantic age of chi
valry, the mental and moral faculties were
neglected to give the physical more force,
and exhibit more brute strength. In
those days "might was right," and lie
came the nearest to perfection of human
excellence who possessed the greatest
amount of physical strength and endu
rance on the battle field ; where honor was
sought in deeds of martial valor, and fierce
and revengeful encounter in human gore.
"Where no value was placed on human life.
The mental powers as dark as crebus,
and the heart as hard as adamant, making
human suturing sport for the vulgar herd.
Again, high mental cultivation without
the moral, gives the possessor greater
power to carry out his base designs than
does the physical. Cultivated intellect,
may give wealth, power and influence,
which in fallen human nature will give a
ncorpion's sting when combined with un"
holy pride, high ambition and an insatia
ble lust for gold ! Such a character will
use all the baser means to attain his end.
Such was the traitor Benedict Arnold !
Among the brave in battle he was the
bravest, but had not the moral heroism to
resist the temptation of British gold. If
the heart is barren of improvement, de
void of kindness and charity, the giant in
tellect may become a swindler, a defaulter,
a political gambler, a misanthrope, or a
traitor to his native oountry, all resulting
from an improper culture of the powers of
mind and matter. Let ihe light of know
ledge expel the rurrounding darkness, and
we can look forward to the time when ed
ucation in its most legitimate sense will
be regarded as an object worthy the atten
tion of the best of mankind, and overy
echool be supplied with teachers from the
normal department whose lest efforts
shall be devoted to the good of society, by
training the youthful mind in the way it
should go.
On teachers reets a great responsibility.
Parents commit their children to their
care, whose minds are to be trained for
time and eternity.and he approaches near
est the maximum of human perfection
whose efforts are crowned with success.
Our desires and wants increase in propor
tion to the improvements in the arts and
sciences, and in literature and the wealth
of our citizens. We require a higher
standard of qualification in teachers, and
more commodious buildings to operate in
than we did five years ago. The Normal
Schools will supply this great desideratum
There the sons and daughters, the jewels
of America, will receive a polish that will
class them as stars of the first magnitude
in the social circle in which thev move.
They will go forth to elevate and increase
the happiness and reputation of society
because tney are better qualified to suc
ceed in every department of business life
on account of their superior qualifications
and higher attainments for usefulness
There they learn that the worth of man is
not estimated bv the amount of dollars
and cents, but by their talents, intell
gence and virtue.
A very appropriate comparison can be
made between cultivating the soil and cul
tivating the mind. The counsel often
given, cultivate a little land well, rather
than a large extent imperfectly ; will hold
equally good and true, in cultivating the
mental facnlties. No man of sane mind
can expect good crops and large profits,
by sowing seed on a sterile soil. If he
would be successful he must use the prop
er fertilizing agents which a chemical an
alysis of the soil requires in order to pro
duce the greatest amount of fruit. His
profits will correspond to the amount of
capital invested, by devoting his time, tal
ents and zeal to it, and by applying all
the means in his power for advancement.
The man who can cultivate one acre with
success, can with equal means and equal
results cultivate fifty acres to good advan
tage. If a farmer sows tares and thorns
- T m mFii'i
he must reap their fruits as the reward o f
his labor, and vice versa. Mind acts upon
mind with the same powers it does 'JW.
inanimate matter. Who dflTpiastic clay
er of the Totter tonape or form ; or the
into any dln'sel form and features and
Sculte life from the inanimate marble ?
"Like begets like," as the mind of the
teacher, so will be the mind of the pupils
If we expect to reap a rich harvest, produ
cing knowledge in a ten fold ratio, we
must have the fertilizing agents in the
teachers, who will dispose of them in ac
cordance with his skill and judgment in
practical application. The progress of our
chiidren in education will be in exact ra
tio to the amount of capital invested or
knowledge in the teaeher, who is to shape
their immortal minds for good or for evil.
If the teacher is ignorant, unqualified, in
temperate or immoral, the injury made by
first impressions is beyond the power of
language to express. From such seed we
must reap vice, disgrace and shame, with
perhaps a ticket of absence from home and
friends to serve a term of years in the pen
itentiary. It is idle to expect reward with
out labor, fruit without seed, profit with
out risk or knowl&dge, or success without
means or an effort. The mind of man is
progressive. The well trained teacher who
cun imrnrt knowledge with success to ten
pupils, can all things being equal, impart
instruction to fifty or a hundred pupils to
good advantage. Tho great want in
most of the rural districts is a sufficient
numljer of well trained teachejs who have
the ability to impart what they know in
such a way as to fertilize mind, expand
its mental powers to reason correctly, and
produce more prizes than blanks. As tho
farmer by means of drainage, irrigation
and fertilizing agents make the wilderness
blossom like the rose, and change the
whole face of nature. So will a noble, gen
erous undaundanted mind act upon mind
and change the whole order of society, o
litical, moral, and religious, and be the in
sti ument of good to all who come under
its influence. The elements of success in
teachiug are the same as in any other pro
fession, viz. ; skill, judgment, application
and iudustry. A love for what is beauti
ful and refined in nature secures the mind
from low and hurtful passions ; and every
advance that is made in any direction for
the improvement of the mind, or the re
finement of manners is so much done for
the benefit of social life, and intercourse
and good morals in society. Then let our
aim be excelsior, higher and higher, till
we arrive at the summit of the hill of sci
ence, where we can behold all that is beau
tiful in nature and nature s God. Free
schools open a fountain of light to dispel
gnorance from our land. They are the
sheet anchor of our social system. They
mould the minds of our youth to shape
the destinies of our nation. They are the
bonds that cement our Union, and pre
serve our Constitution. Thev are the safe-
ffuards of our happiness and inalienable
futs. They are the palladium of our in
dependence and liberty. They are the
means through the developement of the el
ements of nature, (physical, mental, moral
and religious.) to redeem mankind from
disgrace and misery. And if there is yet
a blank for education to fill, I leave the
pleasing task fur my readers to perform.
