Sensible p&rents, who would have their ohildren well eduoated, talk much with tlion of the Taluo of education, or providi: for tin in the; very best teachers, books, instruments, and appliancos to aid them in tho proper ooursea of sfcudy. Nor are t hey Cpptont v.ith Ihis. They qucstion them about thcir studies, visit, when practicable, the schools tliey attcnd, and manifest to thcir children, in a variety of ways, their anxietv thst nothing whioli they can supply slia.ll bo w&nting to their success.
