The professions, it is true,must be filled, but these, it is hoped, will embracebut a small proportion of the well educated. The men who are to have the supervision of the great interests of Agriculture, manufactures and commerce, should be men whose minds are imbued with a knowledge of science—sound and well •!-ucated men.
