which it ts f the highest importance we should understand. It is inconiroverta inconiroverta-ble - ble inconiroverta-ble that the salts existing in soils consti constitute - tute constitute but a very small portion of lhe whole mass of the soil that they aro not lo be deemed accidenlal, but entirely indis indispensable - pensable indispensable to pistils, which according to their respective nature admit one or an another - other another into their circulation, and perishing for want of the appropriate salt. By salts we must understand all thorn substances which consist of a base united with an acid. Tho principal bases are Pot ansa !?"oa: " ?,aSn?.sla' e,'! into tne composition of all fertile oil The acid with which iheso ordinarily combine are the Carbonic, the Sulphuric and phosphoric. By burning plants, their combinations appear in ashes. An examination of the properties of iheir principal salts nnd their components, sheds a great light upon the subject. Let us beg iu with the buses.. These are dis discovered - covered discovered to be metalic oxydes, the pure metalsof which wereobtaiued bySirHum bySirHum-phry - phry bySirHum-phry Davy, and they are denominated re respectively, - spectively, respectively, potassium, calcium; and mag magnesium, - nesium, magnesium, and bone baryies, barium, ice. But potassium, which is the one most easily obtained, may be taken ns a type of the class. It is a cli tiering metal, much like silver, but clear as water. It has some quality in common with indium When u current of water is passed over if, it is decomposed with great rapidity devolving its oxygen. It often changes red color to blue. It combines with oth other - er other acids, forming neutral salts, which are obtained by evaporation. The other ul ul-kulino - kulino ul-kulino metals follow the same process, but not so energetically as pntassinm. The proportions in which they combine are 40 parts potassium, 8 of oxygen; ma ma-king48 - king48 ma-king48 of potassa, 21 parts nf sodium, with 8 of oxygen, making 32 of soda. Knowing the great importance of thi to a farmer to know what amount his soil contains of potash, or of soda, we pre present - sent present them distinctly. Take a portion of the soil, and put it into boiling water, and then strain it through a filter. The wa ter will exact all the so1ulle'portions--then dry by evaporation, and the salt remain remaining - ing remaining will show by its form, its solubility, and by the action of the air upon it when exposed, what base it contains. That base will generally be found combined with sulphuric acid. When sulphate of potash is present it will be discovered by us slow solution and its permanency when exposed to the air. Some plants receive from the soil minute portions of alkali, while others absorb an immense quantity. Some plants, montena for ex ample, contain a considerable quantity of sulphur, winch combining with oxygen, developes the offensive gas sulphurated hydrogen, ns is often found in fire aims when neglected, and with putrid eggs. To this is owing the. nauseous smell of water in which vegetables may have been cooked. So with the water near the mouths of rivers especiully on the coast of Africa. The copper of ships anchored thero rapidly decays, and this is the attributed cause nf the unhealthi unhealthi-ness - ness unhealthi-ness of those shores. The best test of its presence is sugar of lead in solution, which in a short time shows itself produ producing - cing producing a sulphurat of lead. Sulphurat hy hydrogen - drogen hydrogen is then unquestionably pernicious to nnimnl life, but not to vegetables, for to some of them sulphur is necessary; it is essential in mustard, cabbages, and in a large cluss of plants.

ommuniratioii Tlic tily School of Itrenion. Tlie following infoimalioii I Iiave de derived - rived derived from a gentleman who received liis education in that city. . ' ; - lhe bbIhiics of the teachers of Hie Bremen City Scliool, are mainly -paid from the. funds of the institution, so that the charge for tuition is low. Children are not admitted til! they are able to read. The course1 of instruction embraces the various branches usually taught in the best schools, including the Latin, the Greek, and several modem tongues.- ' . , The pupils, to the number of seven or eight hundred, are divided into classes of thirty members cuch. There arc as many teachers as there are classes, and every class occupies a separate room. Each teacher, as a generul rule, gives instruc instruction - tion instruction in but one branch. One man, for instance, devotes himself entirely to the teaching of arithmetic, und another to the teaching of penmanship. . TJie ' Latin language ts tne exclusive province ot a third, and the French of a fourth, &c. ' Each recitation occupies one hour. At the end of each hour a bell rings, which is the siarnal for the simultaneous suspen sion of the exercises of all the classes. After a recess of a few moments, upon the repetition of the signal, thu scholars resume their pluces, when the teacher of geography who spent the preceding hour in Room No. 1, for example, will pass to Room No. 2, to spend the next hour in teaching geography to another - class; while perhaps lhe teacher who spent the previous hour in Room No'. .2, in teach teaching - ing teaching history,, wild during the following give instruction in the same branch to the class in Room No. 1. Hence, one teacher will, in the course of the day, visit six or eight different rooms, piovi- ded there should be so great a number of classes engaged in his particular de partment of study. . In the classification of the scholars, those are placed together who are equal equally - ly equally advanced in "all the studies to which they may be attending; so that the schol ars, who form a class in one recitation, recite together throughout the day, nd throughout the year. - ' It will be perceived that according to these orrangcmetits, all the scholars who aro at any time present in a room engage at the same time in the same exercise; and that every class, and every member of the school is continually iectuied and drilled throughout the entire course of the school hours. Those lessona, there therefore, - fore, therefore, which require previous preparation must necessarily be studied at home. My object in presenting the preceding sketch is to contrast the perfection of or order - der order and system which exists m the Ger German - man German schools with the chaotic state of things in our own. . I would almost dis disdain - dain disdain to stoop so low as to notice our dis district - trict district schools, (excepting those of certain localities which Ishall hereafter point imt.) To describe the condition of our select schools and academies is a task sufficient sufficiently - ly sufficiently humiliating. Of these classesof schools, nine-tenths are mere humbugs; and the remaining tenth, though conducted by worthy teachers, are nearly worthless for the, reasons which I shall proceed to set forth. ' - Our select schools and private acade academies, - mies, academies, as a matter of course, are altogeth altogether - er altogether unfurnished with apparatus, libraries, museums, and other facilities; for these things involve a heavy expenditure which tho limited means of; teachers-cannot meet, and which the revenues of the most prosperous school could never re refund. - fund. refund. ' . ' ' But the absence of these facilities is not confined to private institutions. Our incorporated academies, with few excep tions, exemplify, in all their appurtenan appurtenances - ces appurtenances and arrangements, the miserable pe pe-iiuiiou.siiess - iiuiiou.siiess pe-iiuiiou.siiess that characterizes our peo peo-plb." - plb." peo-plb." A school that would disgrace a re respectable - spectable respectable country district, without a li library - brary library of two volumes, ond without a sin gle philosophical implement, not unfro-j qiiontly boasts of chattered privileges. More prejudicial, however to the in terests of education, than the want of the advantages just named, .is the-want f a proper classification of the learners, and the want of a systematic division of labor among tho teachers of our schools. In the best German schools, as I have just shown, every scholar receives daily, in connexion with Ins class, lrom six to eight hours of the teachers direct atten attention. - tion. attention. Now I can say from my own ex experience - perience experience as a teacher, that if a parent sends his children to a scliool wheie they cannotdaily enjoy at least two hoursin- struction, and expects that they shall be greatly benefitted by their attendance, he expects an impossibility. 1 can ulso assert that full justice cannot be done to any regular recitation, or other exer exercise - cise exercise of a class or individual scholui' in a shorter space than half an ho.ur- - Many lessons, as those iu the languages and mathematics, cunnot be liisputched in less than an hour. The average length of time in which tolerable justice may be done to an exercise is three quarters of an hour. One teacher may therefore hear about ten recitations in a dny. Every scholar should daily participate in at least three or four exercises. Hence, when the recitations are attended to individual ly, no one teacher should take charge of more than four pupils. Anil even in a school of only four pupils, each pupil, up on the plun ot separate recitations, would receive but a fourth pot t of the attention which a boy receives in the JJremon School. .'. ; ' . " ' - Now let us tako a peep into one of our best select scnoois, or into one oi our . . , , i . , academies of the better sort. These schools will bi found to contain on an average, about' thirty scholars; and the limited patronage obliges the precep preceptor - tor preceptor to receive scholars of all ages and de grees of advancement. First, there is a little bovlearnins the alphabet, who has a daily claim upon the teaoher for at least two hours of his time. There are tw - classesof two members each in the spell f'ing book, which together ought io occu

There are two geography classes, each of which should have half an hour's ut ut-tendon. - tendon. ut-tendon. There are six arithmetic class classes, - es, classes, and each of these demands nt least an hour's attention daily.' There are four classes in English grammar, each requir requiring - ing requiring half an hour. The whole school may form a" single writing' class, and there should bo nn hour spent, daily iu this ex exercise. - ercise. exercise. '" There are two boys studying book keeping and they have a tight to an hour of the teacher's time.-'. There are three algebra classes consisting res respectively, - pectively, respectively, of one, two and three member; and each of these classes should have an hours attention. There are two classes in geometry, each requiring an hour. There is one cltiss.in surveying, and this class requires an hour.- There is ono class in natural philosophy, one in chemistry, one in botany, and one in rhetoric, of from one to two members, each, and each of these clussus should have an hour be bestowed - stowed bestowed upon it. .-There' are six boys studying Latin in four - different classes. Now that a class may make a respecta respectable - ble respectable progress, in the study of any lan language, - guage, language, it should enjoy the benefit of two daily exercises of- one hour each. These six boys, therefore, if they receive theirdue, will levy a daily tax ofcight hours upon the teacher's time. Theie are tl.rue buys studying Greek, and they form two classes, requiring together four hours. There arc three classes of one member each studying French, aud claim claiming, - ing, claiming, daily, nix hours' instruction. -In addition to the , branches already enumerated there is an endless list of ologie, a goodly number of which are al always - ways always on hand, to say nothing of music, painting, embruidery and other orna ornamental - mental ornamental branches. Now here are more studies going on in a village academy, or in a misses' board boarding - ing boarding school, than would,' givo full employ employment - ment employment to ull the professors of both the British universities. And how many teachers aro usually engaged in discharg discharging - ing discharging these multifarious and endless labors A principal, with possibly one, or at most but two assistants. For the fewness of pupils, nnd tho smallness of the com compensation - pensation compensation forbids the employment of a greater number. It is therefore evident, that, in the course of a day, each class and pupil can receive but a few moments i e ! u.. l. oi nurneu, supcruciui, aim iiii-uiimem in struction. 1 appeal to tnose wtio Know anything of our schools, district, select, and academic, to bour me out iu the as assertion - sertion assertion that, on an overage, the different classes enjoy scarcely as manyminutes of the teacher s attention.inthe course ot the day, as are equal In number to the hours during which tho classes of the Bremen scliool above described are instructed and disciplined. - . ' " Now if our children nt school receive only from, one twentieth to one sixtieth part ot the instruction winch they ouglit to receive, is it to bo wondered at that they make only from one twentieth to one sixtieth part of tho proficiency which they ought to make; ond that the mass of our citizens are obliged to launch forth upon tho sea of activo life with from one twentieth to one sixtieth part of the amount of i.iformatiou and mental discipline that they ought to have re received! - ceived! received! . ,"''' " If, to tho consideration of .lhe deficien deficiency - cy deficiency in quantify, we add that of the defec defectiveness - tiveness defectiveness in quality in theinstruction which most of our 6i:hools afford, we shall not be surprised ut the low state of popular intelligence among us. 1 would say a word in regard to my own experience. The school that I have conducted for the last five or six years has usually been attended by from twenty five to thirty young men. It has . been my constant aim to confine the number of studies and the number of classes on hand ut the same timo, within tlie small est practicable bounds. ,1 have general- succeeded in limiting tho number of studies to seven or eight nnd the classes to ten or twelve; and yet, if my means would havo, permitted I would gladly have given employment to two or three assistants, In concluding the present article I would remark, that, if our district schools i . i i i are nuisances, our seieci scnoois anu academies are, with few exceptions, bur lesques upon the name of educutinn.

A class was reciting in natural Philosophy. The subject undei consideration wna 'the obstnc es which impeded the motion of machinery,' The attraction of gravity, as one of these, was pretty easily dinposed of; for the class had before been instructed on that point. Friction came next. Here, loo, the pu pupils, - pils, pupils, having had some practical experi ence of their own, in dragging their sleds in skating, or pernaps in turning a grind grindstone, - stone, grindstone, found no great difficulty. Tho book spoke a language sufficiently clear to be understood. Next came the "re "resistance - sistance "resistance of the various media,' to use the language of the text book. "Yes," said the teacher, as one of the pupils gravely quoted this language, "thut has no in inconsiderable - considerable inconsiderable effect." 'The resistance of the various media?' repeated one of the boys inquiringly; "I do not know that I understand what me media - dia media means.' : "A medium is that in which a body moves,' was tho ready reply which the teacher vend from tho book. Pupil "A medium?" Tvacher. "Yes, we say medium when we mean but one, und media when we mean more than one." P. "When we 'mean but one?" T. ''Yes, medium is singular media is plural.' After this discussion, which began in philosophy, but ended in grammar, the teacher was about to proceed with the next question of the book. But the schol scholar - ar scholar was not yet satisfied, and he ventured to press Ins inquiries a little further. P. 'Is this room a medium! T. 'This room?" P. "Yes, sir; you said that a medium was that in which any body moves, and we all move in this room." ,T. 'Yes, but tho medium does not mean a room; it is the substance iu which a body moves.' Here the lad seemed perplexed and un unsatisfied. - satisfied. unsatisfied. He had not a clear idea of the meaning of this new term.

How (would it be if I should drop it into a quart of molasses?" The boys laughed. "Or into a ban el of tar?" The boys smiled. "Suppose I should force it, while open, into a quantity of lard?" Here the boys laughed heartily, while John said, "the watch would not go in any of these articles. "Articles,' sa:d the teacher, why not say mediaV' John s eye glistened as lie caught tlie idea. "Oh I understand it now." His teacher then said that many ma chines worked in air then the air was tho medium. .A fish swims in wuter water is his medium. A fish could hard ly swim in molasses or tar. "Now," in quired he, "why not! "Because of the resistance of tho me dium," said John, with a look of satisfac tion. Now, whywill the watch go in air, nud not in water?" "Because the water is more dense, said John, promptly. "Then, upon what noes the resistance of a medium depend?" Here the new teacher interposed, and said that that was the next question iu the book, and ho was just going te ask it himself. . : , The tegular teacher put his watch iu his pocket and became a spectator again, and the lesson proceeded witn unwonted vivacity. The difference between these two teachers mainly consisted in the fact, that one had the ingenuity to devise an expedient to meet a difficulty whenever occasion required, tlie oilier naa not. . i t i Page.
