CONCLUDING REMARKS. 1 1 7 



this class, therefore, it is merely suggested, that the substitu- 

 tion of the Physical Sciences for the dead languages usually 

 taught, or for one of them, might probably be advantageous. 

 But how far this shall actually be done, must depend upon the 

 instructions received by the Conductors, with respect to the 

 education of each of their pupils : in the absence of this, they 

 will not consider themselves authorized to exchange any usual 

 study for that of the new Department, however they may avail 

 themselves of the latter, in filling up intervals of occasional or 

 of comparative leisure. 



As already intimated, the extent to which the Department 

 of Physical Science can be introduced into the business of the 

 Schools, involving both the amount of time devoted to it, 

 and the rank of the instruction to be given, must depend, 

 mainly, upon the specific value, with respect to Education, 

 among the various branches of useful knowledge, which shall 

 be assigned by the public to the scientific knowledge of Na- 

 ture. The parties concerned in the Schools of Hazelwood 

 and Bruce Castle, offer some of their individual opinions upon 

 the subject, for the acceptance of those whose offspring have 

 been committed to their care, and for that of others who may 

 approve of their general system of Education. Their part is 

 thus performed, their duty, in this respect, is discharged. 

 They now solicit the attention of the public to what they have 

 submitted for consideration ; being convinced, that, whatever 

 may be the result of the present effort, it must eventually be 

 seen by mankind, that the cultivation (and, consequently, with 

 respect to the young, the elementary cultivation) of ALL the 

 Faculties of the Human Mind, is indispensable to the HAPPI- 

 NESS of the HUMAN RACE.
