That youth is the proper season for in¬ struction, is a fact so self evident, as to need hut little occasion to dwell on it in a brief essay : and yet mankind are but too often observed to act as if they fre¬ quently required reminding of this im- portant truth. A man grown grey in his prejudices, and unyielding in his habits, often looks in vain on the pages of the moralist, or returns unimproved from the pious exhortations of the prea«her. Let parents then redouble their attention to their youthful offspring, and hold indue estimation the Tutor who stamps tin cha¬ racter of a future generation, w ho bright¬ ens the prospects of manhood, and the hopes of declining age : for opportunity once lost is never regained ! Though the benevolent intentions of government are often frustrated by party spirit, or low minded jealonsy, it is yet surprising that the annual allowance of ^6000 for the establishment of Schools, in Upper Canada, has not in a greater degree quickened theexertions, orarous- ed the spirit of the Province on a subject so much allied to their dearest interests. To the observing man, there are, at least, three obstacles to the success of ed¬ ucation, which readily present themselves; lirst, the little regard paid to engagements with teachers ; secondly, the too rigor¬ ous or repulsive plan often adopted by School-inasterfi ; thirdly, the frequent in¬ ability of youth to quit their more press¬ ing employments, or useful occupations. Bating, iu the Kingston Gazette, of June, 1818, made some remarks on the rwo» nrsc obstacles, and as our conviction of a truth is most effectually confirmed by demonstration, 1 shall here but briefly recommend any doubting, or disinterest¬ ed person to visit what are termed school wettings ; they may thete see how wretched is the man whose reputation, and whose bread, must depend on the breath of an angry child ; and how often modest merit is culled down by the cla¬ mour of some ignorant up-tart ; so that peaceable and well meaning parents, find¬ ing every thing managed by noise and fac* tion, shun the assembly, and thus leave the poor persecuted teacher to his fate. Such truths are alwaysoallingto the guil¬ ty, and come with pain from the pen of him whose experience enables him to re¬ cord them. Thus we may well cease to wonder at what so much astonishes and dejects European emigrants, when they see our schools shut up, and education suspended the greater part of the year. Every friend to his family, and to so¬ ciety, must consider that he who annoys an impartial Teacher, is as much a pub~ lie nuisance as he who molests the unbi¬ ased decisions of an upright magistrate : But I can see no reason why a teazing aud thankless employment should also be made so dependent or so despicable. Jt has been said, that in Canada," there is a risk of the whites relapsing into Mo¬ hawk ignorance, and of having to bargaia at talks for want of being able to sign a contract" ! Canadians consider well, or repent too tetc ! It was not by despising the dispensers of public learning that Rome arrived at its zenith of glory. Mar¬ cus Aurelius, one of the wisest and most illustrious emperors that Rome ever wit¬ nessed, thanked heaven for two things especially ; first, for his having excellent tutors himself, and secondly that he had found the like for his children. In Canada we hire Tutors, as in Eng¬ land they employ travelling Tinkers, who, when their job is finished iu one place, wheel off to another ; but with this material difference, that the Tinker never departs without his pay. And yet, should a Showman, or a Fiddler, perform but for one night in a Canadian village, he carries off the next morning, as much ready cash as would have paid for three month's instruction of all the children 1 Siuce then all the world will pursue NOTICE -IT* hereby given, that I William Tay- ^^ come5 fa ^ of e Jl lor, as hey .t aw and administrator , us abate our austerlti; B»|ld mak^ to the estate of the late Allan I aylor, de- ceafed, have thip day affigned all the real and perfonal estate of the late Allan Tay¬ lor, and all the interest in the concern of Taylor 8c Parser, and Thomas Parker, unto John Kirby, Alexander Oliphant Pe- trie and Thomas Parker, as trustees, for the benefit of the creditors.

" Were these institutions un¬ der my direction," says the celebrated Montaigne, u I would ornament the Schools with the pictures of joy and glad¬ ness, with Flora aud the graces, that where their profit is, there might be their pleasure also." I was lately ac¬ cented with much dictatorial vehemence, by one from whom I expected more libe¬ ral sentiments, "Sir," said he, "your mild method of instruction will not do ! you must rule your scholars with a rod of iron, and keep it red hot!!!" Yet, so inconsistent are human expectations, so unhappj i? tbe lot of the Tutor, that nothing could appease the anger of this advocate for "red hot rods," when he soon after heard his child had been repri¬ manded for disturbing the good order of the School ! It will often be the fate of a School master to waste his efforts on a stubborn uiifld, aa it is that of a Farmer to till a
