GENERAL JOUBERT ON EDUCATION.
Addressing the children of a 'grammar school in New York, Greneral Joubert, on a visit some Lwelve years ago, said :—": — " When [ look down upon three huudied |goung faces, and know that you Mre all here to get education, and wlien I think that the tiniest little child before me knows a great deal more than I do, I am more sad than ever to have missed a good schooling, and to be forced to go through life a stupid, ignorant old man. If I could only make you know how bitterly I regret the loss of education, I am sure that no one of you would ever throw away an hour of the time in. which you have to study."
