Overview

Excerpt from Practice With Science, Vol. 1: A Series of Agricultural Papers All such considerations Show the great necessity of studying the questions, What do the middle classes require? And how can it be given them? They want the rudiments of an ordinary English education, their judgments strengthened, their powers of reasoning developed, and their minds well stored with that special training which their employments and the excessive competitions of trade necessitate and the question is, Cannot all this be done without a laborious study of the dead languages? The reply which we hope this question will receive will be, It can. In the requisites for the middle class, scholarship and polish have been omitted, and surely it will not be con tended that these are essential for business pursuits. And yet it would. Be an unwise concession to admit that there are no other tools within the reach of the middle classes capable of rasping off the roughnesses of character, and toning education by their influence.
