JOHN G., THOMPSON, Ch'n. C. J. BEAM, Sec'y. AN ADDRESS: Delivered Before the Vinton County Teachers' Institute, by Prof. Wm. H. YOUNG, of the Ohio University. The subject of popular education, though often discussod, is not yet ex hausted; though every day handled, is not worn threadbare; though long dwelt upon, never becomes staid to the true man or woman. The education of the people is too vast an idea to have reached its full development even in the nineteenth century; too great a thought to be greatly comprehended, too profound a science to be thor oughly mastered oven by the genius of our day. There aro deep mines truth in jt yet unopened. .; There are broad fields of experience in it yet untrodden. . There are lofty heights of .observation in , it yet unsealed. There are far extended reaches philosophy in it, that, running paral lel with human destiny into the dim future will only bo plain when Heav en's lights shall shine upon and Divine Wisdom shall interpret them.' For the '. education of the people includes the whole problem, six thousand! years studied ' and '. 'wrought ' at, in weariness and pain, sorrow and sigh ing, ' tears and , blood the whole problem . 6f . humanity individual happiness, social -improvement, na tional prosperity, and - the broad world's disenthrallment and redemp tion. Then how manifold tbe phases, how intricate the bearinsrs. now irrand the range, and how' sublime, .tho final end of popular ' education 1 0'Is it any. wonder . modern philosophy; takes m at pno view popular education and . . ' -'ii ' a V"!' yL '!'' 1"'' i ' 'ii numan aesuny r is it any wonaer ine profoundoet i intellects iOf the.' age of of J rocqgnizo in the education of tho peo ple, the directest solution of tho prob lem; of humanity? and that the mtgfitiest minds and noblest hearts are, to-day, in tho pains of labor, to bring forth into the light, and give substantial life, and vigor, and growth, and permanence, to such ideas ot edu cation as will soonest realize their con ception of its nature and importance? , Education, then, may be held as gtod matter, still, for discussion, and even your speaker may bo pardoned for introducing a single phase of it, in tho light of his own thought and ob servation,:! mean. ,,tho Common School, its nature, function, claims and potential valuo. '' " As a first step, we must arrive at a prociscr notion than is commonly held, as to what education is. You h'ave all heard the etymology of tho term: thero is no better ' definition of the thing. To educate means, literally to draw out, and' is directly opposed to tho common notion of putting in. It is to awaken and strengthen by rous ing to activity, and promoting growth) not distend and weaken by an over feeding that clogs and burdens.'. In the corn grain is a mysterious life germ. Of its nature wo know lit tle. Drop it in, tho soil where are moisture., and , warmth, . and it .will swell, burst, send down a rootlet for meat and drink', shoot up a lealiot lor air and light. Stir the earth about it apd ; it will throw out root after root for a firmer hold. Let the winds shake it and it will add fibre to fibre to resist them. Let the sun dart his beams and tho even drop her dews up on it and it will unfold blade after blade to gather them to its bosom, and finally put out its nodding ensign, bid ding man to joy in its beanty and come and take of its plenty. ' Divine wisdom drops a nut in the forest. It, too, under the stimulus of hoat and moisture, and in answer to tho wondrous life-power in it, sends down its root with mouths for food, sends up its branch with lungs for air, adds limb to limb and leaf to leaf to catch the sunlight and rain drop, adds growth to growth and root to root to stay the tempest, until the little thing you might fill up with your finger, swells to tho mighty monarch of the forest, lifts its head beneath the weight ot centuries, and challangcs the king of storms to battle. Now it is not putting in the grain seed or acorn that makes the harvest or the. oak. But the conditions of their growth aro met; tho proper stim ulus is brought to bear, rousing into action the latent life-forces and evolv ing the good and beautiful -from one, and majesty and power from tho othor. It is the heat, and moisture, and air, and light, and hoo, and plough, and wind, and storm, that wakes tho life principle and keeps it active, while this puts forth its own organs of nour ishment and these find their own sup plies in the abundance God has stored around them. . ' - ' There is in tho child a triple germ elemont. Each is, of distinct nature, yet they are some ,how. combined and interwoven in mysterious union. Each has its distinct life-forces and separate sets of, conditions and stimulants ncod- ful to. their enorgizing, normal action, and highest effort.) But what is most worthy, of note, and apropos to tho matter in hand, these several Jifo-forces, their energizing! conditions and laws of action ; are adapted to ., harmonize with each, other, and work together in the evolyemcnt of a compound physi cal, in tellectualj and moral being, the perfec, divinity-imagedf God-yisaged maiM Inn .."!ri !.n .n? J:: '.' ; ;Nofl yon ask me, j'winl ,t ducationf I answer: Like applying warmth' and. moist ur, and then air and light,1, and rain and wind, and storm, to the germ-bearing lied, energiiiag and Stimulating lis imherent life forces' to' involve the .healthful, . vigorous, symmetric beautiful and majestic oak ; is to take the child,, taemingvith r the 1 ivelv elements of phys'cal, mental and moral, be- Ing. and supplying the proper encrizing in fluenees,!hy furnishing the' growing condi flitions and by favoring the laws of its de Teloproenl, torouse, eneouraje, dlro ai d ditciplme the life-forces inherent there, to the evolvementof the healthful, vigorously constituted, symmetricallr developed, heau tlful and mniestictperfect man and wotnanj. Aye, it is to make a nation, a irord of such men and women! . From this standpoint wo can easily see answers, to several very pertinent questions. As to the importance of education, it is alNimportant. As to its claims, they out-weigh every thing. As to value, it is invaluable. : As to tho dignity of the work, it is divine ; for tho truo educator is a direct asso ciate with Deity, gathering tho germs of humanity, that are scattered about so lavihhly, and without Bueh' caro must perish, and developing them, growing them'that is tho better term, growing them, in the world's garden, into bright intelligences to people the courts of Heaven. , ;" Bat by-this time some of yon-arc thinking,' is not this a ' little removed from what is commonly held to bo ed ucation?. Perhaps BOi but perhaps, also, bur educational views arc com monly too restricted. Education must comprise the wholo man to make him a perfect being; and of' course .his destiny will aecept no less. Indeed, no one part can reach a high develop ment unless all'the rest approximate the samo standard. - Now, tho physi cal demand is moasurably met in the manual duties of th.e home, sports of! tho pluyground, and labor of the shop and farm. The moral must devolve largely on 1 home influences, youthful associations, the Sabbath school and Pulpit. Tho intellectual' largely left to the professional teacher and the school room. 1 But all are so closely related, and in tho nature of things interwoven and mutually dependent that riot only is their separate treat ment impracticable, but were it possi ble, tho ' result : must bo disastrous to true success. ': , Then, the State recognizing the true nature and importance of education, and acknowledging the obligation foster t, legislates, in fact, in accord ance . with the views just expressed. Seeing that physical culture is pro vided for, in the main, by. natural in stincts and parental oversight, and that moral culture is measurably safe under the watchful care of individual piety, and an enlightened, Christian sentiment, she gives her attention chiefly to mental trailing. So far, however, from ignoring tho others, she amply provides by liberal taxation for the physical comfort, convenience and health of her children, and by prudent legislation aims to place such teachers over' them as will secure the moral improvement of her citizens. The State, then, does conceive and act up on tho true thoofy of education. she docs not by. actual enactment pro vide for all the details, it is because trusting in the enlarged views, strong personal intcrbst, patriotism an'd phi lanthropy of her citizens, she expects theny-in hoir parental, official ' and private rciauons, to uo wise ana laiLn ful in tho manifold duties, that, in the very nature of things, must bo rather theirs than tiers"' " -:: ' " '!
