XIX. TABULAR VIEW OF EDUCATION

IN THE UNITED STATES AND EUROPE. The nuinber of Academical Students in the United States is here esti. wiated at 3,475; Theological Students, 663; Legal, 88 ; Medical, not far from 2,000. They belong to the several States as here apportioned. For want of data, however, the Medical and Legal Students were divided among the various States according to their respective population.

In reviewing this Table, we shall perceive, that in accordance with an opinion often expressed, Scotland gives more of her youth a collegiate education than any other country in the world. Baden, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, fall little short of this standard ; and these are the only countries in the world, according to these estimates, which have one collegiate pupil for less than 1,000 inhabitants. New Hampshire, according to the calculation of the American Quarterly Register, is the only American State besides, in which there is more than one for 1,500 ; while in Europe, Saxony, England, Hanover, Bavaria, Tuscany, Spain, and Russia, all have a proportion greater than this. It must not be forgotten, however, that the Universities and Colleges of Spain furnish nothing which deserves to be called a truly liberal education. Vermont, Maine, New Jersey, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New York, and Rhode Island, comprising the rest of the Eastern and three of the Middle States and one of the Southern, have one student for less than 2,000 inhabitants, in which they are rivalled by Wurtemberg, Sweden, Portugal, and the Netherlands. Most of the Southern and Western States have from 2,000 to 4,000 inhabitants to a student. In this proportion, the highest compare with Switzerland, and the rest with Denmark, Naples, and Austria. The most recent Western States have only one to every 5,000 inhabitants; and still are placed on a level with France and Ireland. Russia, stands alone among the civilized countries of the world, and only gives a liberal education to one person in 15,000 of her population.

As a mass, it would appear that the Eastern States provide the advantages of a collegiate education, such as they are in the United States, for a greater proportion of their population than England, or any European countries except Scotland, Baden, and Saxony. The Middle States are as well provided as Wurtemberg, Sweden and the Netherlands. The Southern States will compare with Switzerland in this respect; and the Western States, with all their destitution, are as well supplied with liberally educated men, so far as numbers are concerned, as Denmark and Austria.

The comparative state of Common School Instruction is very different from that of Collegiate Instruction. In this, the United States have the preëminence, whether we compare them with the mass of European countries, or select individual examples. The Edinburgh Review admitted many years since, that “ The great body of the American people is better educated than the mass of any European community." The following table derived from the best sources, shows the proportion of children who receive Common School Instruction to the whole population, in several European countries, and in several of the United States, and furnishes statistical evidence of the truth of this remark.

1 to 21 NOTE.—The preceding table and remarks are printed, without alteration, from the “ Annals of Education”; but it may be remarked, that from the want of information, and from the difficulty of digesting such information as may be had, on any common principles, no accurate comparative view of the state of education in the different countries above enumerated, can be presented. But a small part of the law students in the United States pursue the study of their profession in the public law schools ; and the number above giden (88) comprises only a part of those who belong to the law schools. In England, for example, many receive a good classical and

pro. fessional education who never become members of a university; and of the numbers inserted as belonging to the universities, the greater part are not students. In 1832, the number of members on the books in the University of Oxford, in England, was 2,741 ; and in that of Cambridge 5,364; but the number of undergraduates in the former was only 1,419, and in the latter, about 1,700.
