"THE ill-directed infant mind is the root of the tree of Idleness, out of whose multitudinous branches comes forth the fruit of Pauperism, in all its varieties of forms.'

THE Consideration of this subject leads us at once to the education of children. As long as the means employed to relieve mankind are directed toward the adult portion of the population alone, they will only produce a temporary relief: it is trying to cure an evil without first attacking its source. The effect, it is well known, will continue the same, while the cause is but partially removed. Missionaries in every department of benevolence have succeeded in bringing about permanent reforms, and obtaining proselytes, only so far as they have included the education of young children in their system of efforts. All this is well known; we are fully aware that there is nothing new in the ideas expressed above; but are these truths acted upon? We think not. The Jesuits are the only association who as a body have made it a fundamental principle to take possession of the infant mind. In all countries, and at all periods of their existence, they have selected the best location for their seminaries of learning, and secured the greatest proportion of pupils. If they observe an individual of powerful intellect among the youth committed to their charge, they are prevented by no obstacle from bringing him over to their interests: they flatter, they allure, they take hold of him with the strong bands of kindness and love; if necessary, they even supply his temporal wants; and thus acquire one more disciple and devoted tool. Much could be said on this subject in proof that this is the method by which the Roman Church has perpetuated its sway over the nations of the earth; but we see the palpable consequences of the system in the prosperity which
