EDUCATION.

Let us make our education brave and preventive. Politics is an afterwork, a poor patching. We are always a little late. The evil is done, —the law is passed, and we begin the up-hill agitation for repeal of that which we ought to have prevented the enacting. We shall one day learn to supersede politics by education. What we call our root and branch reforms of slavery, war, gambling, intemperance, is only medicating the symptoms. We must begin higher, namely, in Education. —Emerson.
