The great end of lip' is not knowledge, but action. What men nets is, as much knowledge as tiny cn assimilate and organise into -a basis lor action ; give thoni more cud ft may become- injurious. One knows people who are as heavy and stupid from •undigested learning as others are from over-fulness of meat and drink.
There is no .mode of exercising the faculty of observation aiul the fa. uit.s d accurate reproduction of that which is observed, no discipline which s f > readily tests error in these matters, as drawing pro-periy taught. And by that I do not mean artistic drawi.g; I mean figuring n.tuial objects. 1 do not wish to exaggerate, but I do-, dare to you that, in my judgemeni, the child who lies been taught tc make an accurate elevation, plan -and section of a pint, pot has had an admirable trading in .•accuracy of eye and hand.
