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 , consistent 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 rewards , 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 blindl y 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 sp irit , must be continued so long as previous mistraining shall make them indispensable ; but a really good education within a scientific social system will rapidly supersede the necessity for them .
This system , of which Robert Owen 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 been 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 is 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 moat 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 Burely , in tkese days of mental progress , society cannot much longer continue blind to palpable facts placed obviously before its eyes . IIknky Thay is . |
P . S . I will add one more letter , for the purpose of briefly stating the leading circumstances in harmony with the knowledge that man is the creature of causation , which are necessary to form the coinbinution of influences , by which alone full justice can be done to man in the formation of liin character .

The Essentials Of Christianity. Tiiihley...
THE ESSENTIALS OF CHRISTIANITY . TiiiHley , December 7 , 18 !> 1 . Rut , —It ia obvious to the most superficial observer that , although our professors of religion in this northern portion of the Queen ' s dominions ure a ehurch-Koing people , great Sunday-observers , ami , generally , ^ ubbatariaim to an almost Jewish extent , the esHentialH of Christianity are grievously neglected . The message which the religion of Jesus gives to the world—of peace > earth , and good will to manis randy acted on ; and the great majority of profonniiiK Christians , in place of acting up to the Divine 'mnouneeinent , deem their religion complete when tht- 'y attend , an they call it , the ordinances of religion , and do-lare their beliof in the " minuto , if not unintelligible , distinctions of religious dogmaa . " Kven in our pulpit ^ how rarely uro 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 Jews , 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 Hegistrar-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 , 3316 , 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 .

C O It N EXCUANG K . Mark-Unk , Friday , December 2 ( 5 . —The trade both here and in the country lius been characterized this week by the dulneflB usual at thin seusuu . Wheat and Oats are without alteration in value . Barley and Ik-ana are cheaper . In France prices are firm . The weather in the North of Europe in unusually mild , and supplies are accumulating at the Ualtic ports , still the deficiency in the cropH of Kye and Potatoes prevents a decline in the value of Wheat . The anivalsof foreign Wheat into London during the last , week have been very trilling ; but there lias been a lar ^ e supply of American Flour , which , however , is not pressed for Bale . A moderate demand continues for Wheat , from thin country for JJeltrium and the Rhine districts .
