Y" fc' J, There exists in the Northern part of Ohio a chartered eonywny which aims to Connect thrifty enterprise and an enlighten, ed prosecution of Productive Industry in various departments with the cheap and advantageous cissonunation of Useful - Knowledge. The idea is certainly a good one, and will yet lead to noble results. - This company have a small but thriving tillage, twelve miles south-went of CIcve land.' entitled Bebea, or Lyceum Village where combination of ample water-power With choice land and inexlmustiblc quarries '. of building stone, excellent" also for grind. tones, etc., were deemed to oiler extraor. , dioary inducements for location. 4 The Seminary there is founded on what we believe to be the true basis of academic - instruction a blending of nwiiuaf labor with study. ; ISach pupil, male or termite devotes six hours per day to books, and so jnuch as his or her parents may think prop. er of the remaining six hours to labor, of which the product is credited in payment of his or her tuition, board, &c bach pupil may study more and work less than ' ix hours, but is required to bo usefully employed twelve hours in each day in one -i . rr -way or uio oiner. - i nis arrnitgemeni can. not be too highly commended or too gene, 'rally adopted V ; " t But the it reat suncrioritv of tho svstcm followed in this as in o'her Manual Labor 'Seminaries is (bund in the pbactical char acter of the education . there obtained. Boys are taught not merely to think , hut to act not merely to speak and write cor. jectly, but to fill 'a station in life creditably and to earn an honest livelihood. There is .one serious objection to thorough universal education of the usual stamp namely, that it unfits men, of at least renders them averse, to obtain their bread by the sweat of their brows. The youth who lias spent ; years in acquiring Latin fcud Greek feels' degraded, or at least displaced, by a resort to the hoe and the scythe for a living. This shows error in the common modes of edu cation. All men ought to be better educa. -led than ooeout of fifty now, is ; but all men cannot be lawyers, doctors, ministers or Merchant ; the professions are crowded already ; and we want a system of cheap and practical education, which shall make jtetterJarniera.jmechajucs facturers, artists, etc - &c than the mass of the present , To this end Village Ly ceums and Manual Labor Schools are des tined essentially to contribute. " The Berea Seminary we " learn from documents before us, aims directly at the Inculcation of practical knowledge in " re card to every department of Physical Sci ence. Geology is especially attended 'to, "1 . and the pupils are taught to make the ac " quisition of knowledge with regard to the, ' earth s elements and structure a daily plea. sure a source of increasing interest.) and 'gratification. "Tbelormation of scientific cabinets, consisting of geological niioeral. ogical or botanical specimens, is inculcated ' by precept and example ; .and teachers ed ucated at the Seminary are qualified to dif fuse the knowledge and the taste among their sqhoIars-V We have before us a collection of Ge- i ologioal Specimens made by the pupils of thissemln&ry one of a number recently . distributed among the editors of this city showing the different varieties , of rock ' common in this country. They are very . neatly put up and labeled ; and, 'as there axe hundreds of intelligent persons who B hajrdly distributa half a dozen kinds of rock into their appropriate classes, we publish the following brief accompanying (description, as matter of general and profit. able interest : ' ', " - r- Geography and Geology are sinter sci. ences as both cL scrit the earth. The one , . tells where mountains had other portiobi of the earth are ; the other tells what they arc v'Tbeone escribe the situations, and the other the ingredients or saateriala, with the order of their arrangement The one cannot be fully understood without assist, ance from the other; . 'Among oil the sciences, no one is more simple or easily understood, or better cal culated to employ, entertain andj instruct children ; and few, if any, more useful to farmers,, mechanics and others, -man somo of the first elements of Practical Geolo. ex.7, No, science probably - displays in more striking manner the power, wisdom and goodness of the Urea tor of tne Uni verse. & -'- - . . , , Quartz is the most common . and abun dant ingredient in mountains frocks , and soils; is the natural deposit of gold and other metals j the necessary and principal ingredient in the manufacture of glass ; and under different forms and colors, is known by the names of jasper, cornelian, choice dony. aeate. amethyst, topax. opal, and other gems. The different kinds of quart: found in abundance, are called milk quartz smoky quartz, blue, red, and yellow quartz according to their various colors. Quartz in all its varieties, is hard, and scratches most other minerals, and, of course, can not be scratched by them. Gun flint, and the common, smooth, hard pebbles found in nearly every part of the elobe. are vari eties of this common, abundant and useful mineral - It is the only mineral which, is r. j .i : " louiHi every wiieru. ( , j No. 1, Milk quartz is nearly pure, or free from iron and other substances, which give color to mineral, also to animal and vegetable substances. , ' . Sol 2. Smoky quartz, wliich is colored by iron, is of various sliades, , and some times transparent , No--3. Red or iaspery quartz has a larger portion of iron than - any other yariety.-- Jaxper is a (rem, and is beautifully polultcd. No. 7. Felspur is intimately and extcn. sivcly combined with quartz in tlie forma tion of mountains, soils, AiC, and is essen tial iitithqTnajiufacturefporlaJnor cliina ware. It is scratched by quartz, and breaks more in tho form of plates or small tables. It is commonly reddish , and some. times flesholored ; also, nearly wlu'te. When reduced to a powder, it is more ukc clay, and less like sand than quartz when pulverized. No. a. Mica, frequently called isinglass is combined with quartz and felspur in the formation of nearly all die high mountains upon our globe. In some parts of Russia and other countries, it is used for windows in place of glass. No. 6. Ilornblcnd is. less hard, though more tough anddifficult to break than quartz or felspar. - It contains a large portion of iron, is of a dark green or black color, and enters largely into rocks, ledges and mountains in various parte of the globe. - j Pia. 7. Granular lime is much used for marble, and is abundant in many parts of the world. No. 8. Compact lime is of finer texture, and mora recent formation than granular, and does not receive as fine a polish. One variety, found in Germany, is used lor lithographic printing. AO. y. Green serpentine is an abundant rock, and sometimes a good material for ii t j- - i un wans vi imjubcs. No. 10. Yellow serpentine is interspers ed with the green, but not as common nor as good for buildings-. Precious serpentine, which is frequently yellowish red,' receives a beautiful polish and is hence used for or naments of various kinds." Serpentine can be cut with a knife. Serpentine is the common rock at Hobo. ken, and is found in long ranges in Penn. sylvania, Maryland, Virginia, &c. Her. pentina ridges are tho deposits of chrome ore.-.,. - . , No. 11. Compact gypsum is a common variety of this rock which is ground and used by farmers for manure. When very compact, fine and translucent, it is called alabaster, which is much wrought for orna ments. ' ' - ' - ... No. 12. Sclenitp, or crystalizcd gypsum, breaks in thin plates or leaves, and is fre- quently as transparent as glass. : Gypsum can be scratched by the finger. naiL No. 13. laic is sometimes called rrench chalk. ' It has a greasy or soapy Jeel, and commonly a light color, and is softer than gypsum. . No. 14. Coarse granite is composed of quartz, felspar, and mica, the (ast frequent ly in plates sufficiently large for windows. XMo. 19. rine granite is a common, val. liable material for the walls of houses. The ingredients are like those of the coarse, except finer. No. 16. Gneiss is a slaty granite. From the position of mica in gneiss, it is split with ease into large slabs, ht for QoorS; side.wajks, bridges, dec : . ' ' . Nos. 17 and 18. Mica slate resembles gncissfbut contains no felspar, being com. posed of quartz and mica. The surface is frequently undulating, as in No. 18. Beau, iiful crystals of garnet and staurotide are sometimes deposited in mica slate in great numbers. - r ' Nos. 19 and 20, Sicnito has the same ingredients as granite, except that horn blend takes jtjbe place of mica. The most noted quarries of this rock are in Quincy, Mass., which furnished the material for the Bunker Hill Monument, and for houses in great numbers and value in nearly, every seaport in the country. No. 21. Greenstone is composed of hornblend and felspar intimately combined, and constitutes rocks, ledgerknd mountains in various parts of the world It is green or black, nqt easily broken, but much used for buildings. ' INo. Ti and 23- Sandstone, composed of cemented grains of sand, is much used for buildings, and is the only , material fitted for grindstones. No. 22 is from quarries in the Lyceum village. Ohio, which furnish the best mt fo grindstones know in Amer ica, anda valuable article for whetstones, tombstones, and various other usesv ; No. 24. Puddingstone, or conglomerate J composed of cemented pebbles of various sizes and qualities, aua ircqueiui) iouuu with sandstone. ; In many places it U a common a ud abundant, if not the only rock. When the pebbles are not roundod.'baving short corners, it is called breccia, like the pillars In the capitol at Washington, D. C. No, 25. Soapstone is composed, of talc and quartz, and is extensively used. It can be cut into stabs with a common saw .hew ed with an axe, turned in a lathe, smoothed with a plane, and thus wrought into almost any form which its uses require. , r v From small beginnings, uxe the lew spe cimens here described, thousands and tens of thousands of large and valuable cabinets have grown, and numerous thorough min eralogists and accomplished naturalists have arisen; while those who commence with large and expensive collections, sel dom acquire any considerable knowledge of the subjects to which they relate. Ana among the many thousands who have at, tended full and able courses of lectures on Geology and Mineralogy, few, if any, can distinguish one mineral from another, ,who have formed cabinets for themselves ; while children, in all parts of the country, by the aid of a few specimens, and two or three excursions to collect them, are as familiar with all the common rocks and most of the useful minerals, as with the articles of fable furniture. : A teacher once said to his boys, that all who had their lessons at a time men tioned. mieht eo with him on a geological excursion. Ho afterwards remarked, that several of his boys, for the first time . in their lives, got their lessons,-; and at the time specified. Many thousand similar ca scs mijrht be named. These facU, and tliousnnds of others of a similar character, aftord sufficient proof, that whether the practical sciences, the 'useful branches. as some are disposed call them, such as rcHiTin?, w ritinjr, and arithmetic, or the preservation of morals are concerned--coIIecung, arranging. stud vintr. and describing specimens of eeol. ogy and other departments of natural his tory, are among tlie most useful exercises which teachers and parents can provide for their children. ......
