V- WHAT IS EDUCATION 1
This Is & question that is often asked, and
nearly as often improperly answered. It is
Tery evident, to every candid observer, that
there are wrong impressions prevalent in re
gard to this subject. Any who doubt this as
sertion, to be convinced of its truthfulness,
only need mingle with the masses of the peo
ple, for a short time, and converse with them
on the . subject of education. Every man
seems to have his own peculiar ideas about
what constitntes an education. And it is per
fectly right, in this land ot freedom, for every
man to enjoy his own opinion ; but a person
who has the happiness ol thinking as he pleas
es, should be very careful that be thinks right
that he comes to correct conclusions before
he establishes himself in his opinions. On
subjects of minor importance it is not so ne
cessary thai all see, think and act alike, bet
on a subject so momentous as Education it is
highly important that right views be enter
tained that persons be agreed as to what con
stitntes it, and that there be a co-operation
between the friends of education, parents,
children, and teachers.
, 1 do not wish to be understood in this as a-
busing any man's opinion. Neither do 1 de
aire to rob any educational creed of the good
it possesses. I wish, simply, to state my
Views to tell what I think is not, and what is
education. And after a candid, thorough, pa
tient and thoughtful hearing, I leave the re a
der to judge whether I am reasonable or not
The origin and meaning of the term are the
first things that shall claim our attention, by a
definition of which we may be led to a better
understanding of the subject.
The term Education is of Latin origin. It
comes from the Latin words c and duco, which
mean to lead or bring out, with the suffixes ,
(thing done,) and ton, (act of.) Hence its lit
eral signification is the act of leading, or bring
ingout; and, in its application to mankind,
means the leading, bringing, or drawing out
and due development of the. whole man with
all his faculties and powers. And nothing
short of the cultivation of the whole man is
worthy tho name of Education.
Some think that education is completed
when the child has learned to name the words
in reading, whether he understands them or
not ; to write a miserable scrawl, and to cipher
to the "Rule of Three." Others going a little
farther, would add a fine hand-writing, a re
apectable knowledge of Arithmetic, Book
keeping, and something of Composition and
Letter-writing. Others go still farther ard say
a child is not educated till he has a knowledge
of Grammar, Geography, Philosophy, and A!
gebra. These are all very good as far as they
go, and, indeed, very necessary. But it is
very evident that they fall far short of an ed
ncation.
Others take a more comprehensive view of
the subject and advocate what is called a col
legiate education. They think if they send
their sons and daughters to some celebrated
institution of learning, where they may pass
through a course of studies and receive diplo
mas, they have done nobly they have educa
ted their children. But here is a sad mistake.
The fact of a man's having received the title
of A. B. or A. 51. does not prove that he is ed
ucated. Notwithstanding this, he may be as
destitute of physical training as a child of five
summers. A man may have risen almost to
the climax of hnman excellence in regard to
Intellectual improvement, and yet be a poor,
puny, weakly creature, not able to endure the
fatigues of a single day's labor. I do not
wish to bo understood as discarding colleges
and other institutions of learning, but I do
disapprove of the manner in which some ot
them are conducted.
But, says another, to intellectual improve
ment I would add that of physical training.
But, pray sir, will this better the matter any.
It will only make it worse ; because having a
superior mental and physical training only
gives the possessor the double advantage of
defrauding his fellow men and of enforcing
subjection to his unjust measures. This has
already stigmatized educat ion. Persons of su
perior mental training alone, will take the ad
vantage of others, and then the incensed party
will aay that education makes men rognes.
Education, however, disowns such children
they are not hers. They ever have been an in
jury and a disgrace to the cause, and will be
until education is properly understood. Who
has not beard lazy .fellows say, "I'll go to
school and get an education, and then I'm not
going to slave myself this way ; I'll live with
out work." Many say so and try to act it out
in life. But are they educated 1 I answer,
No. They are in possession of a litt'e learn
ing, and it is proving a dishonor to themselves
and a curse to the world. They are robust,
witted fellows, and can carry their point at any
hazard ; if not by words, then by blows. Thev
are trained intellectually and phvsically, but
what has become of their moral nature 1 A
las ! it has been sadly neglected ! Thus tbey
ar unprincipled men ; but education haa not
made thera so. Thei never were educated
That destructive sword, man's evil nature, has
been unsheathed and sharpened to a polished
brightness, and the bearer, unrestrained, turn
ed loose to commit unsuflerable outrages upon
bis fellow men, and at last use it to his own
everlasting destruction. Better have less
learning and more education.
What, then, asks the reader, is Education ?
a poysicai, moral, ana intellectual train
ing. It i not the leading out of a part of the
man to tho neglect of the others, but it is an
equal development of all the faculties. "Ed
ucation," says Noah Webster, "comprehends
all that series of instruction which is intended
to enlighten the understanding, correct the
temper, and form the manners and habits of
youth, and fit them for usefulness in their fur
rh'!aUonsi',' and t0 be mora explicit, ho

which by entering into the blood derange the
functions and operations of the Heart, causing ma

TOBACCO affects also she entire nervous system,
manifesting itself as all who have ever used tha
noxious weed will bear tesrimouy in Lassitude.
Nervous Irritability, Water Brash, Dyspepsia, and
many other disorders of a similar character. Th
'Taste Restorative Troches" are designed to coun
teract tbo-e baneful influences, and have proved
completely successful in a multitude of eases, and
wherever used. Being harmless in themselves
they exert a beneficial effect upon the entire sys

ly removing the irritation and accompanying tick

consequent upon abstaining from tho rise of To

Persons who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their live.,
should use these Troches immediately and throw
off the injurious aul unpleasant habit of Tobacs

wanting Farms in a healthy place, twenty-fit
miles from Philadelphia, on the Cam -J on and At
lantic Railroad, New Jersey. An old estate be
recently been opened for sale, and the first divi
sion of 10.000 acres divided up into farms of 20 a
ores and upwards. 2 he soil is of the be it quality
for the production of fruits, grains. Ae. Tho price
is $15 to 5J0 per acre, payable in eay ouitei
yearly instalments, within a term of four aars,
with interest. The terms are made easy, in'orJer
to insure the rapid improvement of the land, by
enabling every industrious man to buy a farm. It
is now being extensively improved bv good road,
and some of the best citizens from New England
and tho Middle States are erecting large improve
ments. It is a scene of the greatest improvement
out of Philadelphia Seventy-fire houses hav
been built in 4 months. Practical farmers and bu
siness men from the length and breadth of the C
nion aro settling there. It is an important busi
ness place, on account of its being iu tho tnid.t of
a great market. Every article raised on this land
finds an immediate sale. The water is excellent,
and no such thing as fever ia known. Tha soil is
a sandy or clay loam, with a clay bottom and r
teutive of manures. It is free of stones and easily
worked. It abounds largely in the phosphates
and such is its fertility that from the crops pro
duced both upon this land aud the area adjoin
ing under cultivation, it will be found not 10 b
excelled anwhere in the production of crops most
adapted to its market. The reader may be well
awaro that the earliest and the best fruits and veg
etables come from New Jersey, which are annual
ly exported to the amount of millions of dollar.
The land, besides being accessible in everyway
for b-rtiiizers, has an abundant supply of the best
quality of muck niannrc.
Lumber aud building materials can bo had on
the spot at a cheap price, from the mills Other
ruillu are now being opened, and brickvarda bein?
started on the ground. A person can put up a
frame tenement for present convenience for ono
hundred dollars. On aooountof the extensive em
igration, this is tho best course to pursue in order
to get a place to live in at firtt. Carpenters and buil
