We need no further examination; this fact reveals the true character of the two schools. The first, we know, was admirably managed in all its departments; the other, badly, very badly I

The study of the English language, in its Anglo-Saxon and Gothic sources, has not received in our country, such marked attention as it deserves. We have not regarded a knowledge of our ancient mother-tongue an essential part of a complete English education. Its study has formed no part of the regular course of instruction in any of our higher schools or seminaries. No helps, in the way of text-books, have been provided for those who might wish to obtain a critical knowledge of the Anglo Saxon and our Modern English in their mutual relations. True there is the vague conviction that our language as well as our race is Anglo-Saxon in its origin, but we have manifested no interest in its history. Of the old elements of our speech, so rich and varied from the 6th to the 14th. centuries, we are almost entirely ignorant. Although they form the foundation elements of our language, and furnish an inexhaustible mine of material for enriching our present speech, giving it vigor and point, yet they are regarded of little importance.

Descendants of the Goths, as we are, we have learned from the Greek and Romans, to despise our Gothic ancestry. We have associated with the name of Goths, every species of ignorance, cruelty and barbarity, though our language, our government and laws, display our Gothic origin in every part, and show our great indebtedness to them. An English writer says, "There is no doubt that the foundation of our justly admired Constitution which distinguishes Great Britain and makes her stand pre-emi
