(Concluded)

But you may, perhaps, plead that you have no yower to avoid the work that is thrust upon you, your duty is simply to impart those ele- ments of knowledge which will enable your pupils to educate themselves out of echool. This plea is a good one. To read the English Janguage well, to write with despatch a neat and legible hand, and to master the first rules of arithmetic, so™hs to dispose with accuracy of every question of figures which may come up in actual evervday life,—:hese, as has been well remarked, are “the tools of educa- tion * which you are required to supply. Possessed of these, our young men and maidens have the means of educating themselves, either in or out of echool, to

¢ any extent that they may desire or have

the ability or opportunity to attain to. Your firat and main duty as teachers in ‘our public schools is to furnish these tools | of education.

But you may, incidentally, do mueh towards developing the powers of your | pupile’ minds and bodiee. You cannot, it }is true, give them any eense or faculty which they have not from nature. But you can teach them how te use aright, and how to strengthen and sharpen, the senses and faculties which they possess. Take, for instance, the common eense of sight. I have been told by an artist friend that not one person in a dozen can see aright— that is to say, can see things in their pro- per proportions. And judging by the different statements and descriptions differ- ent persons will give of the same thing, I

put your clock in am inclined to the belief that this is trae.

Agents

I inserted, afew years ago, in Tur Ex- AMINER, the advertisement ef a young man

little money, who wanted asituation as aclerk ; aod

saw numbers of other young men applying, on the next day, for “the vacant position”! They had not read the advertieement aright; they bad, indeed, taken from ‘t a meaning directly the reverae of that whith it really conveyed, Everyone of these young men had been taught in our public schools, and some of them had received instruction in a commercial college. Yet their perceptive faculties had been so ill- developed that they went wrong in respect to this simple little matter. To be correct in sight and insight is a point of the’ first importance to every man and woman. It is absolutely impossible to reach right conclusions or adopt right courses or measures without the power of right obser- vation and comprehension ; and this is a poiut io which teachers mav, I think, help their scholars by means of special ‘exer- cises adapted to the development of the perceptive faculties.

Then there isthe faculty of memorv and those higher mental powers of com- parison, analysis, induction, selection, etc., which are essential to reasoning from rightly perceived facts aud conditions— these may all be exercised, and by exercise strengthened and made more acute, in the smple process of learning to read and write and cipher; and I have no doubt that you, ladies and gentlemen, constantly bear this fact iu mind. If teachers, gener- ally, were required to devote more time to the trainingof the mental faculties and less to the cramming of the memory with facts for monthly, quarterly aud yearly examinations, there would, I am persuaded, be a greater number cf reasonable men and women in the world, and fewer mie- ‘takes would be made in respect to the

the principles and conclusions that are adopted concerning politics and religion. The study of the ancient classics and the higher mathematics is a subject upon which I do not care to express an Opinion; but it seems to me to be chiefly useful be- cause it necessitates the strenuous exercise of those faculties of the mind, which, rightly trained, enable men and women to come toa right judgment ia all things The ancient classics and mathematics seem to me tobe preferable, (if they are preferable,) to the English classics and the probleass of ordinary life in this country, chiefly becange they present greater diffi- eulties to be overcome, and excite the intellect to more vigorous exertion. Those who, g ven the intellectual type of mind, have ume and opportunity to study them carefully and thoroughly may be counted fortunate; and those who have not time or opportunity may well be content if they are taught tc take advantage of the cou- ditions and the problems of life within their reach for the cultivation of their un- derstandings. Going forth to the battle of life with the faculties of the mind more or ]-ss highly developed and trained, our youth will be infinitely better able to achieve success than if, Jacking this training, thev are crammed with information respecting all the arts and sciences. I do not wishi to be understood as depreciating the value of knowledge. I freely admit the truth of the axiom, “knowledge is power.” But I say that knowledge can only be powerful when brought to bear by a mind that is capable of comprehending and reasoning rightly. A little knowledge is, they say, “q dangerous thing;” and yet a little knowledge possessed by one who can use a vigorous and healthy intellect is much more valuable than a great deal of know- ledge possessed by a mind undeveloped, or dulled, or maimed. Ino the one case there is weil directed force Operating upon @ little matter; while in the other case there is ill-directea force, or \ittle or no force at all, and a great inert mass of matter which which obstructs the operation of the in- tellect as a plethora of food obstructs digestion.

In this connection the rights of tne body must not. be forgotten. The mind and spirit of man can not have free course avd be glorified unless the body be sound and vigorous. The body ougbt, therefore, to have ample opportunity to grow acd strengthen ; and the teacher who is able to enter into and direct the sports and past-

Or you may say that |

duties and undertakings of life, as well as |

EDUCATION OUT OF SCHOOL. | times and gymanastics ot his pupils is, other

being equal, to be preferred for education in echool. 1 noticed, last summer with great pleasure, the daily drills in the play ground of West Kent Street School. The drill 1¢ the more valuable in that it not only exercises the body but it hab cnates those who take part in itto obedience and command, and that dicipline of mind and body out of school which isessential to co- operation in larze enterprises whether of war in defence of the country or of peace for its development and improvement.

My conteption, then, is that the iustruc- tion imparted in the #ges before school and in school thould be such as to open the way to, and render more easy, educa- tion in the age after school; and that to this end ihe eariy iraiuing and develop- ment of the powers of the body and the faculties of the mind are of the first import- ance, and the acquirement of knowledge and the passing of examinations of merely secondary importance. The present methods in school are hit off, perhaps a little extravagantly, yet not inaptiy, by one of our Jatter-day poets who lately wrote for the London Standard :

We teach the children Danish, Trigonometry and Spanish;

Fiil their heads with old-time notions, And the secrets of the eceans, And the cuniform inscriptions From the land of the Egyptians; Learn the date of every battle, Know the Labits of the cattle, Know the date of every crowning, Read the poetry of Browning, Make them show a preference

For each musty branch of science; Tell the acerage of Sweden,

And the serpents wiles in Eden; And the other things we teach ’em Make a mountain 8o immense

That we’ve not a moment left To teach them common sense.

You will, I think, admit, ladies and gentlemen, that there is some truth in this effusion, and that some at Jeast of our latter-day youth have, asa resuit, been placed at a disadvantage in the competi- tion of life. In this competition the edu- cation goes on and the character continues to develop. By courtship and marriage, by the nesessity of providing and caring for a family, by labors in the field, the workshop or the office, by travel abroad, by special studiea in literature or acience or art, by triumphs and by failures, by perseverance, industry and the exercise of the judgment, by the blessed influences of religion, by all those exercises of mind and body and spirit which cultivate and strengthen and develop character, educa- tion is carried on out of school.

It was sa'd by Carlyle, I think, that man perfects himself more by work than by reading ; and generally, as Sydney Smith has remarked, “the life of all truly gr-at men has been a life of intense and inces- sant labor. They have commonly passed the first balf of life in the groas darkness of indigent humility verlooked, mistaken, contemned by \ er men — thinking while others slept, reading while others rioted, feeling something within them that told them they should not always be kept down among the dregs of the world; and then, when their time was come, and some little accident has given them their first occasion, they have burst outinto the light and glory of public life, rich with the spoils ot time and mighty in all the labors and struggles of the mind. Then do the multituae cry out‘ a miracle of genius.’ Yes he is a miracle of genius because he isa miracle of labor, because instead of trusting to the resources of his own single mind, he has ( with a clear perception and a sound jadgement) ransacked a thousand minds; because he makes use of the ac- cumulated wisdom of ages and takes as his poiut of departure the very last line and boundary to which science bas ad- venced, because it has ever been the ol ject of his life to assist every intellectua! gift of nature, however munificent and however splendid, with every resource that art could suggest and every attention deli- gence could vestow.”

I ought, Mr. Chairman, for the deve- lopment of my theme, to go on to describe some cf the methods by which the more norable of the great men of the world have educated themselves out of school. Bat for this | have not time to night and you would, I am sure, have no patience. Besides, vou are all, without doubt, con- versant with the careers of many of those who bavse made their lives sublime. More to the purpose, just now, [think will be # skort reference to some of the means by which men and women are en- abled to educate themselves out of school. The first, the most essential of these, is good books, to which the worker, whether rich or poor, ought to have ready access. It is greatly to be reqretted that love of good literature is not more geveral here and now. For newspapers there is a fairly good demand, aud of newspapers there is a sufficient supply. For light ephemeral or fvolish fiction there is a strong desire, particularly among the young. A good novel is a good thing. But « great deal too much time, isin my opinion, wasted upon novels of the yellow- covered order. For such books as elevate and strengthen the mind, for books of the kind to which the poet refer when he says :—

“And books are yours

Within whose silent chamber treasure

lies,

Preserved from age to age, more pre-

cious far

Than that accumulated store of gold

And orient gems which for aday of need

Toe Sultan hides within ancestral tow-

ers,—”

For these books there is not much {appreciation, [t is unfor- tunate that are but few small

circulating libaries throughout this pro- vince ; and I regard it as disgraceful that there is not in Charlottetown a citizen’s public library. 1 really think that there could not b2 a better memorial of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee than the establishment of such a library would be. Welavea large, suitable, vacant room,

centrally situated, 1» the Provincial

Building. The Government, having no other use for it, mitht easily be indaced to give itup forsneh a vod purpose; and the Government mi hh al-o, | think be persuaded to w»tiow the books in. the

Provineial L. boars to by a neneclens besids which the free-will wiice o,8 of our oval

citizens should be placed. If this were done, and some provision mate for a librarian, it conld no longer be said that

there is notin Charlottetown any provision for the higher education of our young men aud women out of school, or !ittle besides an occasional lecture or church social that is more elevating than the rink, which is a vood thing in 1s way, aou the illegal liquor saloons in which too many of our young men are being educated—to their eternal destruction.

Then, with wholesome homes for the little ones and good Christian mothers, aided by the Kindergarten, to inspire them with right principles and motives, with schools in which particuler attention is paid tothe training sand development of the bodily powers and mental faculties of our youth: with the evil of competitive examisations redneed to a minimum, and the test questions in those exatninations which are ab-olutely neces- sary few and searching; with libraries of good books placed within the reach of a.] those who de<ire to continue the education of their invelligence out of school,—-the succeeding generations of men and women in this Canada of ours will be equal to the splendid task of rearing the fabric of a great British-American nationality ; and we may, perhaps, even in our own small and quiet Island home, count upon the production of a few of those who, having, in our schools, been inflamed with the study of learning and the admiration of virtue will live and learn, out of school, to be brave and wise and worthy patriots, *« dear to God and famous to all ages.”
