Lallemand of course speaks of the colleges and private schools in France. I regret to say that his state- ments apply with nearly the whole of their force to the schools of England. Vice is common in them, neglect of physical education and the contracted nature of the stud- ies to which pupils are confined in our classical seminaries —the understanding being unappealed to, and the reason- ing faculties unexercised—the natural sciences neglected, and the whole of the pupil's life until the age of seventeen employed in the study of the dead languages—are matters of vital importance to which society has only recently begun to direct its attention.
