If it fails to confer inestimable good, it will be owing to culpable negligence on the part of the School Officers, or indifference on the part of the people in selecting them. The Free Academy is at present attracting considerable at- tention. Complaint is made, that the Course of Studies therein pursued, is not what it should be in a " People's College, " that too much attention is given to the " Classics, " and too little to the " Practical Sciences, " that the Course of Studies is so arrang...ed as to compel the students to take the full course of four or five years, to receive any permanent benefit, and even then he is only fitted for professional pur- suits. Others insist that the Course of Studies is right in all essential particulars. It might be well to refer to the report of the Committee of the Board of Education presented in 1847, which had a controlling influence in establishing the Free Academy ; which says, amongst other things, " that the pro- posed Institution, which, while it shall be in no way inferior to any of our Colleges, in the character, amount, or value of the information given the pupils, the Course of Studies to be pursued will have more especial reference to the active duties of operative life, rather than those more particularly regarded as necessary for the pulpit, bar, or the medical pro- fession.
