An Idea of True Education.

Harmonial spirit-culture is the noblest work of the sciences.

Man, at first a frail and helpless being, waits and yearns for the the revelation of inherent possessions. The wailing and pleading infant, a loving and confiding creature of sympathy and imitation, is bound to the Spirit of Nature by ties that cannot be severed.

The divine image is within. It is the end of true education to develope that image, and so truly, too, that the child's individuality and constitutional type of mind shall not be impaired, but rather revealed in its own fulness and personal perfection. "Be ye perfect even as the Father in heaven is perfect," is an injunction of sublimest import. Every faculty and every function of the individual is amenable to that heavenly principle. Everything has "a page 2 glory of its own" The highest aim of education is to reveal the life and the form of that individual perfection which Divine Wisdom has implanted in the human spirit.

Different minds demand different methods. The same questions do not arrest and unfold the intuitions of dissimilar persona. For this reason it is impossible for one teacher to quicken and instruct every type of character. Parents seldom find the true avenues of approach to the inner life of their different children; and thus, often, the young at home grow restless and discordant, and tail to vindicate the divinity of their natures, inherited from the infinite fountain of all Goodness.
