where the subject has been neglected. to follow their
example.
Resolved, That from the incalcnable Importance
OF "A vlrtuous education, and its influence on human
character, both in time and eternity, it appeals
with equal force, to the statesman, the patriot the
phitonttropi, and the christian, and claims their uni
ted and persevering exerons to have its benefits
extended to the children Of every class.


Resolred, That it is the deliberate convl ction OF
this meeting, that the literary qualifications, the ca
pacity for covering, and for communicating instruc-
tions, vel! the moral character of the teachers
frequently employed, have been too little regarded
that the Importance Of the sacred trust OF training
the youthful mind land its influence on the formation
of character, have not been sufficiently appreciated,
in consequence of which children and youth have
frequently been lntrusted to the care and tuition OF
such as were not qualified for the high trust.
ResolUed, That when we duly consider the sus-
ceptbility of the youthful mind, how deep and in
dellibe the Impressions made upon it in early life
often prove, whether Of good evil tendency, and
the bearing they have the formation Of character,
this meeting cannot but view the proper qualification
of teachers as well worthy the attention and spe-
cial regard OF the legislature; and that in devslng
plan of general instruction, that vitality important
consideration should receive particular attention.
Res0lUed, That it be recommended to the friends
of education, throughout the state to meet at ren-





respecting the existing state Of common schools in
the different counties, to act on, and make such DIS
position of them as shall then be deemed most ex-
pedent for urging the subject of general and uni
form system of common schools throughout the state
upon the attention of the Legislature, as we'll as the
necessity of making provisions which shall secure
to all classes the advantages thereof and that 1t be
particularly recommended to the central committee
of each county to send large delegation as prac
ticable to attend the said convention.


Resoloed, That a committee vt seven persons be
appointed to make the necessary arrangements for
the accommodation of the convention, and OF the
business to be submitted-which committee was ac
cordIngly appointed.


| ReSoiued, That the friends of education in the
several counties take efficient measures to circulate
as extensively as possible, for signatures, the me-


mortal to the legislature of the state on The subjec
Of common schools, and these memorials be forwar
ded to the secretaries of the respective central com
