It results from the ina- bility of those who depend on the public schools for the education of their children, to afford them time for the pur- suit of these sciences. Multitudes of children are con- strained to leave the schools before they ever reach the first division of the first class, and to address themselves to the industrial pursuits of life. And yet, by the allow- ance and special encouragement of these studies, the masters are almost constrained to devote much of their time to the in...struction of the five or fourteen, as the case may be, in the upper forms, while the hundreds below are suffering for their attention. These are common schools with a witness ! Yet this Committee for 1845 complain that the instruction in these polite sciences is "too techni- cal," too much in " the words of the text-books" — too much "by rote." What would they have? While hun- dreds of children are in waiting to be taught how they shall read and spell, shall the masters be expatiating for the benefit of a few, on the boundless theme of Universal History, or flitting from star to star, on wings of As- tronomic research?
