Two of these reasons are descrvirg of eapecbd ineullou. FirstIt Is by uo tneaii. clear that even If the 1 1 1111, g system ol duiie. ou Inipor.a are continued without inod.li atloua, tboae dutiee alone wJI yield suilicieut rev enue for all tbe needa of the Gov eminent.

Tne present unlf system is in nutiiy rescta unjust. It make. uue.tuul distribul-ious, both of its burdens aud and ita leiiellts.

Report of tha Natiouui Orange Committee on FJdueation Hie report of the reoent session of the National Grange at Indianapolis of this Committee on tulucation expressed very decided .views regarding educat onal mutters, and srggested that aorricttUurai iuatitutions be especially well patron Used. Following ia the report ot tho oommitteo on tho educational ques tion ; We accord with tba Worthy Master In tha Importance be atta hes to tbe subject ot edu cat on. The Grunge claims for itself a dis tinct individuality of its own as a farmer s or g. nl-at on, whieh seeks to promote a higher at' ri cult ure, and tbe social and pol ticai eleva tion of the farmer, w th a d sun rt literature of its own; and on mi huiing its own peculiar methods for accomplishing its aims, the aetirt tliis by wh eh its ends are to be obtained, it has just y given the pre-eminence to educa ton, and e:irly dv sod tbcae methods lf wltU b the Orange ba become a college for the iarmer, mid a most excellent school for tho el tuen. Abundant and repeated testimony prove tbat where these methods b ive been ap plied more practical knowledge and a broader intell genoe have been the result. In tbe adoption of practio il, educational methods lor iti members, tbe order aseognizes tbe important fuct tbat the altiinmeut of higher rank as an educated class by th farmers does not depend aloue upon the universitle and the schools, but upon a p itien str v ing of both themselves and tho Government to provide tbe most appropriate education possiblu under the circumstances. Aneniargod experience approves the meth od wu-Cii have been adopted, and with which the tnetnb rs of th s body are lam liar. Tho committee does nut deem It necessary, there fore, to d more tbau urge tbe rgorous em I toy in ut of theie me h wis in the subordinato Granges, aud to recommend tU t the duties devolvi-dupon the Worthy Lecturer at the Inst nutinnal meeting: be continued again. We fully Indorse tbe vl -wsof tbe Worthy Master as U Ibe m jtiauoeand ralueof Gn ngo pipers, and wnu'd especially urge upon tbe Maatera present and our brother patrons eve "y where to promoto, by every possible means, tht tr circulut on among tbe farmers oi tbe cour . try. Jt ba been truly said tbat wherever they are read tbey givo Vigjr and strength to the Older. With regard tn home education wa would stiffg'tPt tniit tn-n h ttiougbttul care -hould bo given to this subject. Much may be done to d rect nnd ed ieiite tbe ycu g mind in tbe ear uer st igt s of its development. Through prop erly selected pictures, juvenile read rs,and simple devices, familiar science may ba t'lujrbt, and valuable Instruction impHrted. Theyuung mind is edumted by everyth ng w tb which It comes in contact. In Its roatlesa se'-rcb f -r kunwlelgo, it gtit iers It at tbe fire side, at the lamMy altar, in youthful sports. jy where, and the parent is fortunate who d reel its natural tuiuistttveness luto health ful nnd Instructive channels. W tb regard to the puid o schools, we would reKpeetfully ui go tbat one of tbe m t m ort- ant duiies ever devoU ed by this bixly uon Its members is to ue every proper eff rt to bare the elemeutary priue.ples of atrr cultural soteiioo taugut In th uu. Many of the tstate Xnste a, In their annu d addr ses, have urged tbe Importance of this measure, and are, wa trust, laboring to secure the necessary legisla tion In tho piemlea. Others airala anraoulr in a general way d scaarged this duty. We h.iye mit sp4ee iu ihi rep .tt, even if It war . now necessary, to ur aa ttaportanoe or epeclne cdue tliou fur tba farmer, or the paeuV tar bam-nts to be derive-1 fr m tba intrudtio tion of tuts s udy into tbe publ 0 school, o to recite tba arguments In fur r 01' It, so wo will dtr-mtaa tbe suhtect, with tbe reeommenda'-on th t tbe re ol tiou In referaaee U It. paaxod at tbe ftuneenth annual mtt ngof this body, bo xepubl ahed In connection ho with, for tba be toiit of those woo nave become members Jnee tbat meeting. Web g ieuve to reeomuend, further, tbat the National Graug urge upon the membera ' of tbls body, aud patron everywber to uae every ell on to make teach ngof agrcultu al science and tbe rm cbanlc arU th paramouut ob.et of th ' agricultural 00 luges of the aer- r.il H tales. I nturturmt 'ly for tha best In 1 cr ests al stake, this department is too often sub ordinate. It too often occurs that whilst th aa lieges receive a liber il patronage, a very small p r e-nt. of th so who attend then take tbeegri ulturai courses, notwithsta d.ng they are establish -d and aupnrrted at public ex pense to diffuse agricultural , eduoatiua throughout the r -a parti re Ht 't a 'Jb'yar j,ln too many Inst mces, but 11 tt la m re than mere 1 1 r.ry a d cluaii al echo. Us. malii'X those which ham b 1 establisned by eerporaie and private enterprl es, and to tha detriment of th i great interest they are re quirt d t subserve. We bod, then, that inairucvnai in tneorca- teal and practical agricu lure shoull be tbe prime object of these schools, and tLat all student i who attec4 tbm, under rtate nploca, huM be roqufred to take either the tbeoret cal or mecianieai coarse. It eome- meso eurs, and where ibe eontnr happ-na It ia the exception, tnat in claasos of from sua to 500 pupils, ecan-ely mora than a doea will be In h ttgricultural denartuient and of thta small number, a Urje prouortlon w.ll aeelc prof eason-hip in tbe U ire' of the onu n try and a very small proprtl will return to tba far-rua.
