Mansfield, LL, D., on tho relation botweon crime aud education, ho draws tho following conclusions : First—That ouo-third of all criminals aro totally uucducated, .aud that four-fifths are practically uneducated. Sccondly—That the proportion of criminals {from tho illitorato class is at loast ten-fold na gront a8 the proportion from those having somo education. _ Mr. Dornoll, keepor of tho Georgis Poniton- tinry, snys: * ducation is ono of tho vital powers iu tho roformation of fallon mon and womon, who have gonerally sinned through ig- norauce.

Third—Such cducntion a8 our freo common schools afford adds, on the average, 60 por cent to tho producing capacity of the citizon; whila nhié;her training incronses it 200 or 800 por cout. Fourth—Ono can do more and botter worl, from tho stroct-scavenger up to thoe most akille mochanio, with the same expenditure of timo and forco, from tho mere fack of possessing knowledge. Fifth—A. well-cducated Commonywealth, how- over narrow its bordors or poor ity uuif, soon becomes rich and poworful; whilo an ignorant ono, evon under tho huppiost circumstances of land and sky, falls a proy to auarchy, poverty, aud despotisin, Sizth—Prussia and many other Gorman States huve tried it for yoars, with tho bappicst results, Connegticut, Ruodo Island, and Michigan have now adopted it.

Eighth—Tha ballot, in the hands of a corrupt and ignorant populace, is the torch of tho political incondinry; but, with an in- teiligent _ poople, is ithe bulwark of liberty. With intelligent voters, our form of government is the best yot dovised ; but popular sullragoe is podition if tho votors kuow not what thoy ato voling sbout. In just such proportion as they aro ignoraut, uro their votes dangorous, Ninth—Tho class most in necd of school-train- ing seldom attend schiool at all, to-wit : thoso whose parents, through ignorance, poverty, ava- riu‘q, or erime, glve them little or uo honie edu- cation.
