They to a great extent, foster the vices, and preserve the growth of "Princes and Lords. " Education, instead of cherising feelings of pride and self conceit, as is too often the case should be directed against these very principles. The people of this country require a system of education pe- culiar to their republican character, suited to their habits, plain, practical, opposed to speculative, that shall nurture the stern virtues, a system calculated to unfold the physical, as well as mental ...faculties, and prepare the young for the service of their country, in peace or war.
