To what causes is this to be attributed I The causes are riHmerous. but - ve will notice only a few of the most operative. In -the-' first place, the plan of educationin all ourschooLs, particularly in our prefiaratory schools, is radically infective, : too much time ts spent upon. .syntax5 :ann eTvmoiogy ; tne iime 01 uie. student is wasted and bis geuiu4X,frittered : -away'yiipoq .words.in-' stead of bei ug developed and polished r by, t he 's pi riti o f the w ri tiv Instead of directing the study of the' Greek, and.

In: the fUu rt h pi ace, too many studies v are pu rsued , and none pu rsued well : tha student acquires a smattering, of languages and sci- ences. and understands none of i them. 1 This encyclopedical Tknid of learning is destructive of the poweis of the mind, a ttd nn fits it for deep and severe investigations In the last place,' the 'multitude of books is a serious injury to most students. : They: despair of read itig many of them, and content themselves with reading reviews of the most celebrated. - At length tbe valuable books are placed away 7 yv.. .. :r v rWlr carefully in a library, and newspapers pamphlets and o tive nioductions take up all their, time for reading.

Massachusetts has taken the lead in in trod the m shews Vei-sity have resolved tn makesimilar changes to remodel the ".plan of studies, and introduce new methods of instruction. But whate ver changes may be made in our plans of education, young men. wliore desirous of beings either useful or eminent in active life, should recollect this truth, that the education received at a colleges or university, is intended only as a preparation of the "mind for receiv ing the ric)i "stores of science and gerieral knowledge, which subse quent industry is .to acquire. He who depends Upon this prepara tion alone, will be like a fariner:whby ploughs his land and sows 'no grain. Thc-period'of useful study com mencesV. when aVcSuiig man finishes his collegiate coursey; At that time his.' , facu 1 1 ies ;h aye tCK quired some maturity from age and !some drscipline fr.om exercise; and if he enter with diligence, upon the stmy of a branch of science and confine his attention to that branch, he soon; becomes .astonish ed at his progiess and at the increase of. his? intellectual powers. Let him avoid-, reading or evea looking into -a .variety , of Jiooks. .Nine tenths of them are worse than useless ; ' the readings of them produces a positive injury to the mind ; they not only distract his attention, but blunt his , facu ties.. Let him read Only, works of men of genius : read but few' books and read theni often, ' Take two voting men of edual mirids and simitar genius : put into tlie hands of one, Sliakespeare's Plays, Mi I ton's Paradise Lost Don Qu ixote and Gil Bias z and into the hands of the other, all .the hundred voi lunies of dulness wfiich fill ojir libraries ; and at the :end: of tvvelve moiiths, mark the difference between tliem , The first will be like the high spirited steed that is ready for the course ; the other will be encumbered with a load of useless ideas, his. faculties weakened and the bright tints of his genius obscured. 1 .. u v r The next great object after the improvement of : the intellectual fiiculties, is the fiirming of a moral character. This is by far the most difficult part of education : it depends upon the' doctrines; of morals and tne philosophy of the i passions and feelings. Little success has heretofore attended it, either in the. schofds of Europe or this country. . The moral character of youth Jias been generally formed by their parents, by :-friends ulio gained their confidence; or by their pursuits inactive life.- The morality thus taught is purely practical 5 it has reference to no -abstract; truths ; it looks only to the passions T and feelings of our' nature tinder the variety of cir cumstances in which we may be placed iii society, and the duties which thence result. The science of Ethics taught in our schools is a cold, speculative science; and our youth are misled by" sub stituting this for practical morality. It is tobe regretted, that Ywe have no vork on moral philosophy, which treats of. Ethics purely as a practical science ; and it is iTinarkahle, that, notwithstanding the great improvement that has been, made within the last centurv in metapliysical and physical. science, and the liberal turn of philo- iuu ai ciiquir woiwM ,nas oeen inirouuced,' the science. of Ethics remains stationary. The question, " what is the foundation of moral obliation," is not moi-e satisfactorily answered now tiian it was tworcciituries ago. yAml until the principles of .Ethics shalf be; disentangled from the speculative: iloctrines of Theologyi in terwoyeu by the schoolmeu aiid monks in the sixteenth and 'seven teenth centuries, and those principles ba traced ?tA tlie cotntitutiunf and condition of man, Graving ftr thCir object; the developemeiii if most be re- wnrft fnvoor studies.
