The s bject of education is at the - nt•esent d y attracting more attenticn tile .it ev r did at any former period of the worlds history.` The advantages as ` well as the pleasures of knowledge are being more fully realized and in- tellectnal:+power is now taken as the standard: of individual or national great- ness. In proof of this statement we have only to refer our readers to tie vast machinery in operotion to facili- tate education and diffuse it among the rnaRses. We have Universities, Colleges, School's, .we have public. lectures & read ings; . we have a very extensive news- paper circulation and various other ap- pliances all designed to, quicken the mental facultaies and educate the people. 'And. the merelfact that these are liber- - ally _sustained, -is sufficient proofof public appreciation. The importance of education is`. so generally admitted that it would be almost : useless.' to direct attention in that way. The ordinary business of every . dap life requires some acquaint a race with letters, 'the duties 4f citizen ship, no matter hew humble, inquire it, and- more particularly the higher rela tions in which a man standsto his 'fel- lowman and -his country, viz: that of an elector, require him to discharge duties which, without a liberal education he will be unable to do honourably or succcessfully. Goldsmith says in his "Traveller !"-- 'Tis something proved in every soil, That those who think must govern those who toil." Education has a power which, operating through individuals, reaches the citadel and adds to its in- fluence and its permanence. The height o which it elevates every one coming under its influence is an index of its effect upon a nation, and in proportion .. as we impress society with the impor- anee of this fact so' will we be true, patriots and benefactors of our race. Among= the various instrumentalities for carrying on the education of the eople, the most` important both in number and influence are, our Common chools. They lie, as it -were, at the very foundation of intellectual culture nd operate upon the whole mass of ociety. To many they afford the only eans of education, and consequently, est exert a powerful influence upon heir character. To increase the in- uence land, if possible, elevate the tending of those schools, will be the bject of aseries of articles on educe - en of whici this is the first We will scuss tee , gnestion as practically .as ossible; referring as . otcasicn mayre- wire. to the duties of all the parties naected with -our • Common Schools. t t P S a s fl m 0 ti cli p co The Independence Question- -e— ms-exec MEETING AT WATERLOO, COUNTY OF $I{EFFORD' In accorrclance with a respectably Signed requisition, A. B. Parinelee, El., warden of .the county of Shefford, nailed a public meeting at Waterloo: on Saturday last, in. order to discuss the question of independence. The 8.40 a. m. train from Montreal took out a number of gentleman, among whom were Hon. Mr. Huntington and Floe. John Young, who were to advo- cate independence., A special train took them from St. •fohn's to Waterloo, arriving at their destination at 12 o'clock. A number -of people had assembled at the Court Ho was totakeplat erected for the use where the discussion e on a temporary stand urpose. At one o'clock probably fifteen hundred of the nneu of Sh ffot d -had essem Med. • Mr. Parmelee, the wardeu of the county, expra.ined . the circumnstances- nnder which he bad called the meeting and remarking that he would make no 'speech, intraduee.1 to the gathering the inn. Jolla Toueg wvjio spoke for about three-quarters of an hour upon the commercial advantages which he claim- ed would follow the independence' of Canada. He maintained that a fair commercial treaty or Zoliverein could then be made with the United States. .Hon. Mr. Huntington spoke next, for over en` hour, _being partly apole= getic for taking such. an early and earn- est stand for independence, and effirm ing his right to freely discuss that question without having the cry of dis- loyalty raised against him. Ile held that the Americans would not be ag- gressive in the event of Canadian inde- pendeuce, but inferred from the tone ,of leadutg New York papers that they were' favorable tc, it. Mr. Kose and Mr. McDougall, in their farewell speeehes,`alluded to iudepondence, and not in terms of condemnation.. The Government, like Hon, Mr. Brown, hadnotspok.en definitely on the question and were waiting the course of events to determine whether they should take the lead of the independence party:, He referred to the state of feeling in Eng- land 'as indicating a desire, that Canada should be independent, • Mr. B. Chamberlain, 11f .P. for Alis- sisquoi, who. had been invited to take part in the dissension, was'next iintrc,- duced and pdanainst spoke a Independence, g. He maintained that Canadians_ad no desire to teal down the old flagA'and.re- place it by they diri not know, what. He he!d that the limes did not truly represent public opinion in England, which was opposed to ` dismemberment of the colonial empire. He showed that the advantages claimed for a Zol 1vermin would not -follow, and asked if it was at all' probable that' the Yankees would give us. the _better bargain, if we were Independent, in -arranging a com- mercial treaty. Overtrading in_Canada has caused insolvency of many . mer- chants, and as soon as they . changed their policy in this respect there would not be so many failures. The trade : be- tween. Uanada'and .the United .Stags had largely increased since the abroga- tion of Reciprocity despite the' heavy duties imposed by the Americans. In conclusion, he referred to the prosper- ous state of the country generally and the county off Shefford especially, and trusted they would not sever the - ties which connect Canada witlathe mother country.

She will also give the public a fall ac- coint of the circumstances and reasons which led her to feel it to be her duty to make this -disclosure as an obligation alike of justice, gratitude and personal friendship.

A Quaker Protest against Women's Hate The Quarterly Examiner, organ of the Q'nakers in England, utters a ; protest against fashionable bonnets. The writer confesses that, during one of their meet- ings for worship, his mind has been exercised by the bonnets in view. He doubts whether the wearers have any time or thought to stare for the,poor and wretched. "As a mere question or taste" he adds, "I grieve to see so many bonny faces spoiled -by the foolish `con- trivances of french miliners. But more than thet,. I grieve to see that the ine- vitable.reaetion from our sectional pe- culiarities, .which were originally based on reason and good sense, but which had lost their force,. and have therefore been wisely abandoned, has carried so many into the peculiarities of the silly, world of fashion, which are based on .no reason et all." But happily, others have discovered the proper medium "The problem has been thoroughly sol- ved,- and there were abundert instances of its solution at this yearly meeting, how to dress -with beautiful 't ste and neatness and simi 1. ity t e nbined; how to avoid singularities and ;oddities, and to be attired with Christian moder- ation.We roust hope that the modem ter with their quiet attire ate the rising action,. and that the extreme reds among its will soon, even ft r' the sake of appearance, if for no higher motive be all converted to their view;" as a matter, of fact, English- Quakeresses, under twenty, are now dressed like other people. • Turnberry Council.
