The Power Of Education. Letter V. London...
could only be , varieties of mental and moral inferiority . A . really good education can only be given by examp le , treatment , and instruction , consisient in every respect ¦ with the knowledge that man is the creature of causation , and by thus teaching and leading the child to obtain nature ' s rewards and to avoid nature ' s punishments , which are the divine criteria of right and wrong ; instead of coercing or bribing him by humanly invented punishments and lewards , which can only be required to produce unnatural conduct , or to counteract the effects of injurious influences .
A wise system of education would remove these influences , instead of blindly contending against their effects : and then the necessity for artificial rewards and punishments , which , injurious as they are intrinsically , are necessary parts of the existing system ^ would cease . Restraints , employed in a rational and kind spirit , must be continued so long as previous mistraining shall make them indispensable ; but a really good education within a scientiflc social system will rapidly supersede the necessity for them .
This system , of which Robert O wen is the discoverer , and which is the result of his unequalled experience in education and in the practical investigation of the causes of good and evil to man , consists simply of social arrangements which will exclude all the causes of evil ( of which , be it never forgotten , the free-will supposition is the first ) , and will combine the causes of good in the most beneficial manner for all . And this is the form of association which society will necessarily assume when it shall be
enabled to understand evil and good and the causes which produce them , and to comprehend its true and highest interests . But this system will not be commenced by inducing any parties to enter into it in opposition to their wishes and feelings . It will be commenced by forming societies of those who desire to adopt it , not as a component part of existing society , with which it cannot be intermixed , but within new arrangements—separate from , but in friendly communication with , existing society—so long as the desire to continue within the evil circumstances of
existing arrangements shall survive to maintain any remnant of them . It is impossible to do justice to a subject so important and extensive as this within the compass of a few short letters , but what I have now stated will suffice to show—1 . That there have bee , n abundantly sufficient causes for the failure of all past systems of education in the systems themselves , and in the general circumstances of society .
2 . That there is a science of education which will enable society to remove these causes of failure , and will make success in the formation of a highly superior intellectual , moral , and practical character in all , except when the organism , in incurably diseased , a matter of certainty , like any other scientific process . 3 . That the question of man ' s free will ( which is the turning point between the false systems and the true ) , instead of being a mere metaphysical subtlety , impossible to be solved , or of little practical moment when solved , is a question of science capable of scientific solution , and in its consequences and in the practical knowledge to which its right solution leads , of most momentous importance to mankind .
In fine , nothing is now wanting to open to society a new career of ever improving wisdom , goodness , wealth , and happiness , but that its mental powers should be expanded to the perception of a few simple facts , and that it should thus be enabled to combine in harmonious union the powers of education and of production which are ready for its use . And surely , in these days of mental progress , society cannot much longer continue blind to palpable facts placed obviously before its eyes . HKNJtY TltAVIS .
P . S . I will add one more letter , for the purpose of briefly stating the leading circumstances in harmony with the knowledge that man w the creature of causation , which are necessary to form the combination of influences , by which alone full justice can be done to man in the formation of his character .

The Essentials Of Christianity. Paisley,...
THE ESSENTIALS OF CHRISTIANITY . Paisley , December 7 , 18 . > l . Sin , —It is obviouH to the most superficial observer that , although our professors of religion in this northern portion of * tho Qucen ' H dominions are a ehureh-Roinjjr people , great Kunday-obnerverB , and , generally , SabbjituriaiiH to an nlmottt Jewifili extent , tin ; essentials of Christianity are grievously neglected . The innHsage which tin ; religion of Jemm given to the world—of peace on earth , and good will to man — is rarely acted on ; and the great majority of profeHHing ( JhrintiaiiH , in place of acting up to tin ; Divine unnoimceiiKiiit , deem their religion complete when they attend , uk they call it , the ordinances of religion , nnd declare their beliof in the " minute , if not unintelligible , distinctions of religious dogmas . " Even in our pulpits , how rarely aro broad Christian
principles promulgated ; how seldom the great doctrine of love to God and man discoursed on ! But how often is the time of the clergyman , and perhaps the more valuable time of the audience , frittered away in endeavouring to organize a belief in some narrow-minded interpretation of the words of the Hebrew records of the Jewsj or the Greek writings of the Christian apostles ! Verily , there is a lack , of spiritual religion among us , in the truest and noblest sense of the phrase ! I am , Sir , your obedient servant , J .
Health Of London During The Week. (From ...
HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Report . ) The present return shows that the mortality "in London by which recent weeks have been distinguished , still maintains a position which indicates an unfavourable state of the public health . Since the middle of November the weekly deaths have been , in succession , 1132 , 1279 , 3 316 , 1194 , and in the week ending last Saturday , 1206 . In the week ending December 18 , 1847 , influenza raised the deaths in London to 1946 ; but , if the mortality of that week be excluded from the comparison , it appears that the average number of deaths in the corresponding weeks of 1841-50 was 1060 , which , if corrected for increase of population , is 1166 . On this corrected average the return of last week shows an excess of 40 .
