THE COMING SCHOOL.

By Editor

Prof. W. N. Hailman, of Detroit, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean of March 30, 1880, lectured in the parlors of the Church of the Messiah yesterday afternoon, on the subject of “The Coming School.” From the report of his lecture, we take the following paragraph, in which he draws a contrast between the school of the present and the school of the future. We are happy to be able to say that those features which he sets forth as the crowning graces of the school of the future, Battle Creek College has in design, at least, anticipated, keeping them prominently before itself as aims for the present:—

“The school of the present does little to make good men and women, leaving it to the family and other organizations. The school of the future will make it an object to attend to this deficiency. The school of the future will tend to make complete harmony in all the phases of man’s nature. The mind and body will be trained, educated, and cultivated simultaneously. The new school will make complete men and complete women, and develop strong intellects as the tools of the soul. The individual and the social nature will be developed at the same time.”
