Our schools instruction of their that . ‘‘deeraded” by affording to the principles young farmers in honorable calling! We incline rather ‘to the opinion that aine persags out of every ten will say that they will, en the contrary, be thereby elevated and improved. The Patriot will, perh try to explain 1nd deel re way 1 sult ta our farm that it referred to the “degrading of our schools” by taking the classics and mathe- matic Bs the course of studies. But h gal the Opposition cannot. get ut of the fix in that way, for the simple reason that Tue Examiner did not pro-| ose any such course f action. The question whethdr the labor Of ac- juiring Latin sud Greek is worth while, except by those who expect to make a liy- ng by the practice a profession, is one which has long been discussed by the great- est schalars as well as by the most success- ful men of Tur EXAMINER might have raised this question and have busimess. found cogent reasons in support of acon- tention that it not For instance, we quote the. following from an is worth while. essay on education by one of the finest clas- sical scholars and profoundest thinkers who ever lived in Great Britain : . ‘*Can there be anything more ridiculous than that a father should waste his own money, and his son's time, in setting him to learn the Roman language, whea, at the same time, he designs him for a trade, wherein he, having no use of Latin, fails not to forget that little which he brought from school, and which it is ten to one he abhors fer the ill usage it pro- cured him ? ould it be believed, unless we had everywhere amongst us examples of it, hild shouldbe (oveed te learn the f 2 langmage, which he is never to the course of life that he is designed to, i negleet all the while the writing of a good and, and casting accounts, which are of great advantage in al! conditions of life, and to most trades indispensably necessary? But though these qualifications, requisite to trade .nd commerce and the business of the world, are seldom or never tobe had at grammar- schools; yet thither not only gentlemen send their younger sons intended for - trades,‘ but even tradesmen and farmers fail not-to send their children, though they have neither in- tention or ability to make them scholars... If you ask them, why they do this ? they think it as strange 2 question as if you should ask them why they go to church ? Custom serves for reason, and has to those that take it for ted this method that it is sbserved by them; and they stick to it, if their children had an education, unless they learned Lilly’s grammar.” Tue Examiner might have imitated the immortal author of the essay on *‘ The Human Understanding,” and have asked ; ‘*Can there be anything more ridiculous or the Government of the unents ¢ in reason, 80 Conse! ilmost religious'y as scarce orthodox unfair than that small agricultural province of Prince Ed- ward Island should waste the money of the people at large in teaching the children of the wealthiest and farmers Latin and Greek in order that coraparatively few of bes they may be enabled to leave their farins and enter the professions, and go away into Could it be believed that free in ’ foreign lands?’ young men are given instruction and Greek to the neglect of book- keeping, agricultural science, and the vast store of splendid literature extant the Would it not be better and women to spend the Latin in English language / f young tit that they lose smattering knowledge of the dead languages in studying the works of Bacon and Locke, veare and Milton, ot writers in the mother tongu: r men re while acquiring a classical Ex- AMINER wight have asked these questions, and the Patriot might, perchance, have found some difficulty in supplying satis- factory replies in thé negative, But Te EXAMINER has not done so. We question not the policy of affording instruction in the dead languages. But we say, let those who receive instruction in them pay for the privilege. One dollar a quarter per scholar for each of the higher branches taught in our public schools last year, would have given the Government upwards «f $17,000--a sum which would have covered a large part of the deficit of the year. The Patriot maintains that no one is educated under our school system to he- Shakest other ; ; THE come a lawyer and doctor, or a clergyman. What, then, is the object forjwhich the dead languages are studied? Is it for the sake of the polish which they reflect upon the conversation and manners of the students? Is it for the delight which the students have in mastering difficulties “so that they may ponder the wisdom of Plato, or elevate their minds by contemplation of the sublimity of Homer, or expatiate in the verses of Virgil and Horace, or learn to appreciate at its true value the oratory of Demothesenes and Cicero? Not at all. In the higher education. | By adding agriculture | Y> HXA) x nihety-nifi€é cages o@f of — « hundred it is ‘+ | simply that the student may obtain the key to the pr@liessionsby which he hopes to live. Then, Again, says the Patvet, whatabout The country needs educated teachers, and must, therefore, we suppose, pay the cost of their education. But-it-has evidently uo need to offer a premium on ithe production of young doctors, and | lawyers, and professors, etc., and it cannot afford to do go.

Canuot something be done toward bringing abont « different con dition of things? That we have amongst us those with the ability to assist.in such movement is undoubted. The only ques tion is as tu their willingness. Any action in this direction would surely . bless'd.”’ Already several gentlemen have expressed their willingness to assist in hav- ing a flower show, amongst whom may be mentioned Hon. T. H. Haviland and Messrs, William, Brown, William Heard and Richard. Burke, | With these gentle- men working, success would be assured. Are there not, others willing to take an equal interest in our art exhibition? The attractiveness .of such an exhibition will be readily admitted, and its financial suc- cess would be equally beyond a doubt were it placed in the hands ‘of an energetic com- mittee with A. McNeill, Esq., as secretary. Cannot instant action be taken! There is no doubt but it would amply repay the effort and be the most enjoyable feature of the coming summer season. + Boston Markets. * a ' > be “‘twice Boston, Aug. 21.
