Loi sur l'Instruction Publique. Paris: 1833. The word primary, as applied to instruction, is not yet naturalized in our language, but as Education is a subject in which, as in all new sciences, neologisms are pardonable, we shall take leave to use the expression, Primary Instruction, to denote that training of a moral, intellectual, and partly also physical nature, which it is desirable the whole body of a civilized nation, even the poorest and meanest of its children, should receive, - and receive, not in their parents' houses, or by private tuition, but in Schools, where a considerable number of children of the middle and lower classes, from six to fourteen years of age, are assembled, and taught by one or more masters. This is a subject which is rising in importance every day. The question, what primary instruction is, and what it ought to be, continues to be agitated with increasing anxiety. The indifference which has hitherto prevailed almost universally about popular education, is giving place to curiosity and alarm.
