Lectures on Mental and Moral Culture

Excerpt from Lectures on Mental and Moral Culture

The following Lectures, as the title indicates, were prepared for the use of Teachers' Institutes, and have been delivered at intervals, before these bodies, during the past five years. They were intended to be addressed to an assembly of teachers and citizens, such as are usually found at the evening sessions; consequently, they are not designed for the exclusive reading of teachers.

The attempt has been, to make the opinions developed thoroughly accord With the fundamental principles of our institutions and form of government. The necessity to the safety and prosperity of the State, that every child should be educated, and that the Wealth of the country should pay for this education, has been made a prominent feature.
