Yes ; true fathers of youth, you have understood, with all the sages who have meditated on the art of government, that the fate of States depends on the instruction in learn- ing and virtue imparted during the early years of life. The glorious epoch of the valiant O'Higgins is not more signalized by the victories with vvhicJi COLLEGIATE KECITATION. 193 he has secured the independence of our country, than by the triumpli of the hghts, buried hy gloomy tyranny under the oppressive designs which s...erved as tombstones to the grave of liberty.
