Those wants of the community which can be supplied by talent and industry are never extensively felt without befog soon provided for . The de * mand creates the supply . Hitherto , education has . been in the hands of the ignorant or the idle . On the part of the teacher it has been resorted * to merely as the means of eking out a scanty income , while the community has been indifferent to the quality of the article for which , as in every similar case , it has been contrived to make them pay an exorbitant price . For ages it has been monopolized by a few , and , as in every other monopoly , the public has been supplied with the worst article , in the least quantity , and at the dearest rate . In the mean time , the cultivation of education as a
science has been wholly neglected . At length the attention of the public is awakened to the importance of the subject , and to the abuses which have been practised upon them . They begin to cry out for knowledge—real knowledge , not the name , and to demand more of it in less time and for less money . And we see that they do not call in vain . No sooner is their voice heard than up spring edifices adapted to accommodate pupils , and forth come men able and willing to instruct . It is curious , too , to observe the
higher tone which the teachers immediately assume , and the higher object which they propose as the end of their labours . Here , for instance , is a lecture on medicine as good as a sermon , and a sermon as good as logic and eloquence and charity can make it . And certainly that deep sense of duty ; that determination to perform it which is to be shaken neither by ease , nor pleasure , nor profit , nor loss , nor praise , nor blame ; in a word ,
that desire to discover and to do what is right which constitutes integrity , or , in the strictest and truest sense , morality , is in no relation of life more indispensable than in that filled by the physician and gurgeon r EJyery one has a deep stake in the intellectual ability and moral rectitude of the man into whose hands he entrusts his own lite and the life of those who are dearer to
him than himself . And the connexion between intellectual ability , and moral rectitude , between talent and virtue , between soundness of t } ie understanding and goodness of the heart , is much more close and inseparable than is commonly believed . It has been a subject of complaint against the University of London , that it includes in the course of instruction through which it proposes to conduct its pupils , the whole circle ; of the sciences , excepting that great science which l can alone render the others truly valuable ; that , while it takes all possible care to communicate knowledge , it makes no provision for the inculcatipn of religionw It may be $ Q # bte < j , towe .
