-Sir Edward Cunard, one bf the owners of

d ied soddenly of heart disease in New York on
t he evening of April 7. He was the son of Sir
S amnel Cunard who was in 1859 created a bar?
onet bf the United Kingdom, for his services
i n establishing the trans-Atlantic steamship
1 i ne. Sir Edward Cunard was born in Halifax,
Nova Scotia, in 1816, and ii arned in 1849 the
daughter of Bache MoEvcrs, a merchant of
Dew York. His residenco was on Staten Is
1 and. New York. Lady Cunard died in 18GG.
The line of mail steamers with which tho name
of Canard is so familiarly connoc ed, was start?
ed by i he father of Mr. Cunard ia 1840, at
whose death, in 1865, Edward inherited both
the title and the business. He had previously
managed all its affairs on this side of the At
lanti'. The lino was started with four vessels
subsidized by tho British Government, but so
successful did tho enterprise piove, that from
time to time other b'nes were also started by
the company, and now they havo twenty-five
vessels on the Mediterranean Sea, on the At?
lantic, and elsewhere. The Cunar?s, father
and son, preferred safety to speed in their ves?
sels, and hence they always enjoyed thc pubhc
confidence, which they bold even to this day.
-Under date of Now Orleans, April 8, Ihe
New York Herald publishes the following: "An
expedition is now fitting out in this city which
will be of the most formidable character, and
which the government, if it desires to maintain
its popularity and retain the affections of the
.people, it had better not interfere with any
farther than to make a show of good laith to?
ward tho Spanish Government. The progress
of the expedition may be retarded by official
i nterferenoe, but it cannot be stopped. There
are men at the head of it and men at the back
of it who never say fail, and those who aro in

MONDAY MORNING, APKIL 12, 1869.
Nr. Fronde on Education.
The address delivered by Mr. J. A
Froude, tho historian, on the occasion o
his installation as Rector of the University
of St. Andrew's, Scotland, has attracted a
much attention by the boldness and straight
forwardness of its language as it.has com
manded respect by its close reasoning ant
deep and earnest thought.
Beginning with the broad declaration tha
"to make us know our duty and do it, t<
"make us upright in act and true in though
"and word, is the aim of all instructioi
"which deserves the name-the epitome o:
"all purposes for which education exists,'
Mr. Froude passes to the question which
is on everybody's lips : Whether the sub?
jects to which the best years of youth and
boyhood continue to be given are the bes!
in themselves, whether they should be al?
tered or added to, or if so in what direc?
tions ? The great schools and colleges oi
Great Britain are in the middle of a revo?
lution, which, like most revolutions, means
! "discontent with what we have and no clear
"idea of what we would have." And the
oauses are not far to seek. On the one
hand, thereis the immense multiplication
of the subjects of knowledge; on the other,
the increased range of occupations among
which the working part of mankind are
distributed. We oannot confine ourselves
to the languages, to the grammar, the logic
and the philosophy which satisfied the sev?
enteenth century. Yet if we pile on the
top of these the histories and the literature
of our and other nations, with modern lan?
guages and sciences, we accumulate a load
which the jaost ardent aqd industrious stu?
dent cannot cope . Uh. What, then, is the
secret of success ? It is-says Mr. Froude
"that we understand clearly the result
"which we desire to produce."
To educate successfully, you should first
ascertain what you mean by an educated
man. Our ancestors, said Mr. Froude, un?
derstood what they meant perfectly well.
They set out with the principle that every
child born into the world should be taught
his duty to God and man. The majority of
people must live by bodily labor; therefore,
every boy was as early as was convenient
Bet to labor. There was no thought of what
we call enlarging the mind. A boy was
taught reading that he might read the Bible,
and learn to fear God, and be ashamed and
afraid to do wrong. In both England and
Scotland, by thc parish school system, the
children were put In the way of leading
useful lives if they would be honest. The
essential thing was that every one who was
willing to work should be able to maintain
himself and his family in honor and inde?
pendence. In the eduoation of a scholar
the same principle was applied.
There were two ways of being indepen?
dent. If you require much you must pro?
duce much. If you produce little you must
require little. Those who added nothing
to the material wealth of the world must be
content to be poor. If rich in mind, the
scholar was. expected to be poor In body;
and so deeply was this theory*grafted into
English feeling, that when Earls and Dukes
began tc frequent the Universities they
shared the common simplicity. The scholar
was held in high honor; but his contribu?
tions to the commonwealth were not appli?
cable in money and were not rewarded with
money. Neither scholarship nor science
starved under this treatment; more noble
souls have been smothered in luxury than
were ever killed by hunger. But this old
idea of education was dying away at both
extremities; the apprenticeship, as a sys?
tem of instruction, was gone, and the dis?
cipline of poverty was gone also; and we
have instead what is called enlarged minds.
An enormous accumulation of propositions
of all roots and kinds is thrust down stu- I
dents' throats, to be poured into exnml
ners' laps, and this too "when it is notori
"oas that the sole condition of making
"progress in any branch of art or knowl?
edge is to leave on one side everything
"irrelevant to it, and to throw their undi?
vided energy on the special thing they had
"in hand."
The old Universities, Mr. Froudo pro?
ceeded to say, are struggling against these
absurdities, and yet their work is scarcely
more satisfactory. A young man who goes
to Oxford now learns tho same things
which were taught two centuries ago; but
he learns no lesson of poverty along with
it. In his course, he contracts habits of
self-indulgence and luxury which make
subsequent hardships unendurable. He is
oalled educated, yet if thrown on his own
resources he oannot earn a Sixpence for
himself. "An Oxford education," Mr.
Froude said, "fits a man extremely well fe
"the trade of gentleman. I do not know :
"for what other trade it does fit him as at i
"present constituted." More than one
Oxford graduate has been seen in these late
years breaking stones upon a road in Aus- 1
tralia. That was all that he was found to 1
be fit for when brought into contact with .
the primary realities of things. i
In modern schools we now find the three '
R's, about which we are all agreed; next 1
Latin and Greek, which the schools must <
keep to while the Universities contine their 1
honors to these; and then a mixed multi- i
tude of history, physiology, chronology, j
political economy-"general knowledge, i
"which in my experience means general v
"ignorance," stuff arranged to make a show r
it an examination, and good for nothing ?
:lse. This cramming is like loading a i?
stomach with marbles; fer bread giving a n
stone. First and foremost a man has
earn his living. It is very doubtful whet!
?'the honcsiy of the country has boen i
"proved by the substitution so generally
"mental education for industrial, and
" ?three R's,' if no industrial training 1
"gone along with them, are ap!, as M
"Nightingale observes, t? produce a fou
"R-of rascaldom."
Mr. Froude accepts with a qualificat;
the first principle of our forefathers, tl
every boy born into the world Bhould be ]
in the way of maintaining himself in hi
cst independence. No education wh:
does not make this its first aim is wo:
anything. The Ten Commandments are
obligatory as ever, and practical abil
must still be the back-bone of the educati
of every boy who has to earn his bread
manual labor. Add knowledge afterwai
"but let it be knowledge that will lead to
"doing better each particular work which a I
"w practicing, and every fraction of it vi
"then be useful to him." Detached fa
on miscellaneous subjects, as they a
taught at a modern school, are like sept
ate letters of endless alphabets. But i
range your letters into words, and ea
word becomes a thought, a symbol, waki:
in the mind an image of a real thin
Croup your words into sentences, a;
thought is married to thought and produc
other thoughts, and what were chips
granite become soft bread, wholesome, n
tritious and invigorating. Teach boys su
jects which they can only remember m
chemically, and they are taught nothii
which it is worth their while to kno
Teach them facts and principles whioh th
oan apply and use in the work of their live
and if the objeot be to give our clover wor
ing lads a chance of rising to become Pre
identB of the United States or milloinaire
the ascent into those conditions will 1
easier and healthier than by the pat!
which the mest keenly-sharpened wits ooul
be apt to choose for themselves. Ant
passing to 'he learned professions, the sit
dent should learn at the. University whi
will enable him to earn his living as soo
after he leaves it as possible. The educe
tion could not bo oompleted at the Univei
si ty, but the theoretic or scientific ground
work, could be learned nowhere so wei
Mr. Froude proceeded to say that the prin
:iple he advocated was of the earth earthy
t>ut that as the student would not lear;
everything, the only reasonable guide ii
mch matters was utility. Tho old sayin
Non multa std mullum v?&s every day becom
mg more pressingly true.
We had a theory at Oxford, said Mr
Froude, that our system, however defeo
ive, yet developed in us some especially
luman qualities. The training of clergy
nen is, if anything, the special object o
)xford teaohing. There has been thirtj
rears of unexampled clerical activity
imong us; churches have been doubled,
biological magazines and newspapers have
teen poured out by hundreds of thousands,
vhile by the side of it. there has sprung up
in equally astonishing development ol
noral dishonesty. From the great houses
n the City of London "to the village gro
'cer, the commercial life of England hac
'been saturated with fraud. o? *?o.r ha?
'it gone that a strictly honest tradesman
'oan hardly hold his ground against oom
'petition. We have false weights, false
'measures, cheating and shoddy every
?where. Yet the clergy have Been all thia
'grow up in absolute indifference ; and the
'great question whioh at this moment is
'agitating the Church of England, is the
'color of the ecclesiastical petticoats.
'Many a hundred sermons have I heard in
'England, many a dissertation on the mys?
teries of the faith, on the divine mission
'of the clergy, on apostolical succession,
'on bishops and justification, and the the
'ory of good works and verbal inspiration,
'and the efficacy of the sacraments ; but
'never during theBe thirty wonderful
'years, never one that I can recollect on
'common honesty or those primitive com
'mandmeuts-Thou shalt not lie and thou
'shalt not steal." If, said Mr. Froude,
he clergy knew as much about England
ind Scotland aB about Greeoe and Rome,
md could see what was going on around
hem instead of groping among books to
ind what men did or thought at Alexandria
ir Constantinople, fifteen hundred years
igo, they would grapple moro effectively
vith the moral pestilence which is poison
ng the air.
Each child that is born among us, con
inued Mr. Froude, has a right to demand
luoh teaching as shall enable him to live
ivith honesty and take such a place In
iociety as belongs to the faculties which he
ias brought with him. Upon thc breeding
which we give our children, said Mr.
Froude, depends whether England will now
lesoend to a second place among the
cations, or whether it shall have an era of
jrighter glory. Following out this linc of
hought, Mr. Froude showed what, should
)e the feelings with which the immigrant
ihould regard his mother country, and
vhat had been the reward of the careless
iess with which England had colonized
America.
But is there no such thing as purely
ntellectual cul!ure ? Is not this earning
if our own living, this getting on, .a low
jhject for human beings to set before tbem
iclvcs ? University education in England
vas devoted to spiritual culture, but it
aught tho accompanying necessary lesson
>f poverty. And if a university persists in
eachiog nothing but what it calls the hu
nanities, it is bound to insist also on rough
ilothing, hard beds and common food.
.For myself, I admire that ancient rule of
'the Jews, that every man, no matter of
'what grade or calling, shall learn some
'handicraft, that th? man of intellect, while,
'like St Paul, he is teaohing tho world,
'yet like St. Paul may be burdensome to no
'one. It hurts no intellect to be able to
'make a plough, or hammer a horse shoe;
'and if you can do either of those you have
'nothing to fear from fortune." Every
aan who devotes his son to intellectual
.ursuits should make him in some way
adependent of the profits of intellectual
Fork for subsistence. The rewards of lite
ature are generally small and the adjust- i
lent of them is wrong. The present rule
i lo pay by the page or the sheet-the 1
?ore words the more pay, while the rule
ought to be exactly the reverse Only by
accident is a work of genius immediately
popular in ibc sense of being widcl
bought. There are exceptions, as Tenny?
son and Carlyle ; yet Tennyson waited
through ten years of depreciation, and
Carlyle, if success be measured by price,
stands far below your Belgravian novelist.
If you mike literature a trade to live 1?;
you will take your talents to the most pro?
fitable market, ami that will be no assurance
tha* you are making a noble or even worthy
use of them. ..Better a thousand times,
"your object is lo advance your position in
"lifo, that you should choose some other
"calling of which makirjg money is tho
"legitimate aim, and where your success
"will vary as the goodness of your work;
"better for yourselves, for your conscien?
ces, for your own souls, as we used to Bay,
"and for the world you live in. Therefore,
"I say, if any of you ohoose this mode of j
"spending your existence, choose it delib?
erately, with a full knowledge of what you
"are doing. Reconcile yourselves to the
"condition of the old scholars. Make up
"your minds to be poor ; care only for
"what ia true, and right, and good. Or
"these conditions you may add something
"real to the intellectual Block of m inkind,
"and mankind in return may perhaps give
"you bread enough to live upon, though
"bread extremely thinly spread with but
"ter." After a few remarks on thc temp?
tation lying before young men either to lend
themselves to what is popular and plausible,
or to quarrel violently with things that they
deem to be passing away beoause 'hey have
no basis of truth, Dr. Froude concluded
"No ono can thrive upon denials ; positive
truth of some kind is essential as food both for
mind and chiracter. Depend upon it, that in
all long established practices or spiritual for?
mulas rhero has been some living truth ; and,
if you have not discovered and learnt to respect
it, you do not yet understand the questions
which you aro rn a hurry to Botve. And. acain,
intellectually impatient people should remem?
ber the rules of tocia! courtesy, whicb forbid
us in private to say things, however true, which
can give pain to ot bets. These rules forbid us
equally in public to obtru le opinions which j
offend those who do not share them. Our
thoughts and our conduct are our own. Wo
may say justly to any one-'You shall not make
me profess to think true what I believo to be
false; you shall not moko mo do what I do not
think just ;' but there our natural liberty ends.
Others havo as good a rieht to their opinion as
we havo to ours. To any one who holds what
arc called advanced views ou serious subjects,
I recommend a patient reticence, and tho re?
flection that after all, ho may possibly bo
wrong. Whet h?r wo aro radicals or conserva?
tives, wo require to bo otteu reminded that
truth or falsehood, justice and injustio9, aro no
creatures of our own belief. Wo cannot make
(ruo things false, or false things true, by
choosing to make them so. Wo cannot vote
right into wrong or wrong into right. The
eternal truths and righta of things exist, for?
tunately, independent of our thoughts or
wishes, fixed as mathematics, inherent in the
nature of man and tho world. They aro no
more to bo tnflod with than gravitation. If wo
discover aud obey them, it is well with us; but
that is all wc eau do. You can uo more make
a social regulation work well which is not jost
than you can make water run up bill. I tell
you, therefore, who take np with plausibilities
not to trust your woight too f?? upo? timm,
and not to condemn others for having misgiv
UI.L; a vitilCIi ut (lie bullcm of vnnr own minda,
if you look so deep, you will find that you
share yourselves with them. You who believo
that you have hold of newer and wider truths,
show it as you may and must show it, unless
you are misled by your own dreams, in leading
wider, simpler and nobler lives. Assert your
own freedom if yen will, but assert it modestly
and quietly, respecting others SB you wish to
bo respected yourselves. Only, and especially,
I would say this-be honest with yourdolvos,
whatever thc temptation ; say nothing to oth?
ers that you do not think, and play no tricks
with your own minds. Ot all tho evil spirits
abroad at this hour in tho world, humbug is
tho most dangerous.
"lhis above all,-To your own selves be brue,
Ami it will lollow. as the night the day.
You cannot then bc talse to auy man."
