E.

A am also hap py to remark, that the communication of Governor Lucas was ready passport to my free admission to every public' institution in Btirope to which-'t applied and that my ' endeavors were seconded in the most encoursjiinj manner by all the gentlemen . nnnerted with the educational establishments in the teveralj countries through which I passed; and thd vvannest.eipressions ilf appraiat on were elicited, of the .zeal' manifested by so young a State a's Ohio, in the great cause of generul education. Par ticularly in some of the old communities of central Europe, where it happened to be known that I was born in the same year in which Ohio became ir sovereign Slate, it seemed to be mailer of amusement as well as gratification, that a man who tftojusl as old as the S ate bi which he AW, 'kid come, with official author ity, to inquire respecting the best moJe of education for the growing population of hi native land and they remarked that our Governor and Legislators must be very enlightened and Wghly cultivated juicp, When in one instance, I informed them that our Governor was a plain farmer, and that ; a majority oFwur legislators were of the same occupation, the well known line ..,u;Vi. . t .ii.. n;.t annlipa id liusbandmen was applied tans: . -U lartanatoa nimiaq pons ihji 0h In (he opportunity to see the celebrated Universities of Cambridge., Oxford Edioburgr-Glafsgow.arijerlinIIatleLejpMC, Heidelberg, and some others: and I waa every where, received wii the cre&test Junihiess, and every, desirable -f jfactlify waa af- fure can be Veared, and being awartv that on tliis principle, tii -t.;-r .rorfU f r iJpaidature is. and for the hresent must be, directed to our comtnoh schools, my investigation of the Uni versities O fonnoatoa niro'mm a pona normt. r happy PMpU, if they do but appreciate their awn blessings. e toroU of my tourl visited Knglandp Scotlindi r Prussia, and the diffcrent States of Gerroanyi and had tonally, free, be able to raise, himself, and develop his powers freely, without let or hinderance from any other that the public burdens be borne in common and in just proportions; that equal- ity before the law, be secured to every subject; that justice be rigidly rnd pnoctyally administered; that merit, in whatever rank it may bo found, be enabled to rise without obstacle; that the government be carried on with unity order, and. power; that, by the education of the people, and the spread oftoie religion,; thegeneral interests, and a national spirit be promoted, as the only secure basis of the national welfare." Another European ting of the Roman Catholic faith, Louis of Bavaria, who is connected by marriage with the royal house of Prussia, moved by this example, and excited by emulation in be half both of his church and kingdom, is now zealuuidy pushing forward the same experiment among his own people! and already th. iikvir'an rlmU heffin to rival the Prus&ians and the Unir ' nf Rrlin finds its onlv eaual in that of Munich, liuisl lias in one thing gone even beyond his brother of Prussia, in that he has granted to his people a rear constitutional representation in the government a privilege and a right which the Prussians have labored in vain to extort from Frederick-VV illFam, . Even the Autocrat, Nicholas of Uussia, married to a tlaugh tr of the Prussian monarch, who inherita much of her father's spirit,) has beep induced to commence a similar system through out his vast dominions; and frdui the reports to the emperor of n'OuvarofT. the Russian Minister ot ruDlic instruciion. people, to be carried into full execution as fast as it is possible to provide the requisite number of qualified teachers. " .Thus three sovereigns, representing the three great divisions of Christendom, the Protestant, the Romish, and the Ureek, are now zealouly. engaged in doing what despotic sovereigns have seldom done before enlightening and educating their people; and that too with better plans uf instruction, and a more efficient accomplishment in practice, than the world liaa ever before wit- . -.-- -.-i.-r 4.--- a.; x.k... nesseu in or 1 a me apim 01 cuurauun. vununcu w m tions. The kinedom of Wirtemburg, and the Crand Duchy of Badn are not behinil Prussia or Bavaria. The smallor atatea o Germany, and even old Austria, are pushing forward in the same career j France la i aH awakej Spain" And, Italy are begin tiing to open their eyes; the government of fcnglanii, wmcn nas nun erlo neglected the education of the common people more thana ny other Protestant country of Europe, is beginning to bestir itselfj and even the Sultan of Turkey, and the Pacha of E gypt, are looking around for well qualified teachers to go among their people in iittftuun siM rariSr-a-saw- uras.jiuu-jiiiu and most poweriul of despotisms; aa the United States ia the lar irt and most now'erful ot renublic: and.' while we enjoy the 1. - -. - .. - - - 1 . - gieateit political freedom that any government has ever permitted, she is held fast by th. bonds ( severe autocracy. Add to this, Russia is the only Europtrau giivernmenf, with the excep tion of Great Britain, whose territories border on our own. The fact, thn, that a aystem of public instruction 4iaa been es tablished in the Russsia'n Empire, is one of deep interest to us; and no les interesting will it be for us to know somrtliing ol the nature of the system and of the means by which it is carried into operation. - The general system is, that of Pxussia, with such modifications as are necessary to adapt it to that widely extended, and, in some parts, semi-barbarous empire. For example, the wind? empire is divided into provinces, earh of which, has a University these provinces into academic district; which are provided with .their gymnasia for classical learning. 2nd arademirt for the higher branches of a but'ines education"; and these, acadeiric districts are again subdivided into srhuol di-tricts, each with it elementary school. As the heart of the.whul system, there is at .StPetersburg a .moil! school for. the education td .teachers of every grade, for all part ot I herein pi re. Of the Universitfrs, six had already gone into nperation in 1835, namelv: one nl St. Petersbrg, one at Moscow, one at Dorpaf, in Livonia, one at Charcow.east of the river Dnieper, one at Kasan. on the Wolga, and one at Kiew. At other points Lyceums are estnblihed, with courses of study more limited than that of the Univeiities; . " . . ..... - . " . i"r - i-. ..-... 1 !ilt 1 r .1 . .
