Litchfield enquirer., 1832-04-05

days since-bu n consequences of the political maiter which crowded our columns, we could not then con- 1 -vsniOntIy find room for them ! Mr. ADAMS :-InfOrmed by the Enquirer of March 9th, that the Committee for locating the Manual Labor High School of Litchfeld County expect soon tO proceed Co examine the farms which may he offer ed, and that 6naI decisiOn may then be expected,
 beg leave through your paper to call tue attention o the public to this important subject. ..
 accord with the decision mentioned in the notice referred to, that to entitle farm examination, must be accommodated with water power to such eu<- tent the purposes of the institution may requiIe."
 There are also other important considerations which have been kept in view by the friends of 'hen- s,utiOn as their opinion, essential to its saccess
 Much, very much, depends upon juiicious ieca- tion. On this point too much reliance cannot be placed upon the sound and disnterested judgment of the Committee of Location. They are practical men, and delight in the culture Of the field and the garden. On this point it is presumed there will be but one opinion with the friends of the institutions, viz that farm oi suitable dime of easy tilIage and pro- ductive of the various articles of family consumption, and other grains and fruits of the field, is of vital im- portanee.
 As there is in county extensive and sure market for mechanical productions, it will be sary depend chiefly upon the proceeds of the farm, te furnish the table, At the time, water priv ilege is deemed desirable, that employment in the chanical arts may be rCsor,ed to, when the season abroad is unfavorabie to field laborhus, h the pro- duelions ofths shop, furnish the foreign articles quired in boarding, and meet also other contingent expenses.
 After suitable teachers are procured, the most im- portant ject will be to furnish the students food and fuel, far may be consistent with their pro- gress in their studies, by their labor. This it is believed may entirely, at other similar institutions, or le great extent, he effected by the proceeds of productive farm, without the endorsements, delays and consumption of lime attendant on negotiations R. broad in inc purchase of grain, in the sale of the productions of the shop.
 It is less important that !he location be in well regulated society, whose habits and pursuits are com genial with the occupations of agriculture and tine mechanical arts. The influence exerted by the hab- it' manners and empoyments of.he surrounding pop uIaon will necessarily be powerful upon iastitu ton thus peculiar in its nature.
 From statements already made to the public, it ap- pears that it is deemed important that the location be within reasonable walking distance from place of public worship; otherwise separate establishment, atconsderabe additional ,mustLe maintained.
 Permit me, in this place, 10 recur 10 some of the leading objects ofLhis beneroient institution.
 The qualification of young men for the various de- parsmenIs Of life, is the grand object. It is especially designed afford those of virtuous habits, but of small pecuniary resources, the facilities ofmenia and
 moral culture, with the lcas possible expense hem selves their friends and at the time, to pro- mote physical and mental vigor by heallhful and useful recreation from intense study. Agriculture both of the ed and of the garden, probably thaa any other, eu,poymen,, vncs these advantages IL is aI most congenal with the pursuits and wishes of the grea, body of our community, and will, more than any olhcr manual employment, De source of utility and pleasure ia Vfier lie.
 It is reasonable expectation, that young nen de- signing pursue agriculture wll here be prepared to retur" to the farm without losing their relish for la Dor, well instructed in systematic and practical hus- b,ndry; while, at the same tmc they will have ac- g"ired the literary quafca lions for the successful disc large of the duties of social and life. ]
 It will be equally objec, of aen,idn .o aid in the qualification of schoolmasers by aordipg n addition to tho customary studies, the best know ledge of se menary books-tha most successful mode of teaching """ 6v'S'n"S sCuooiS sOSetner Wuh me improve nens which are continually developed in this impor- tant department. On t.is subject public sentiment begins to awaken. But young men, who wish to engage in school teaching, unable to sus. tain the expense of suitable qualifications without the facilities which wo propose, schools must eonn- to be furnished with incompetent teacher. The prepa ration for College of pous ind snt young men designed for the gospel ministry, is leading o jeet of lhis institution. It s believed that m equal education may be obtained, physical and mental viz ! secured, and the expense far diminished to be within the means of the iadigent, Wilh little or no aid from benevolent societies.
 The prac.cablity and happy effects of the design { are no longer subject of speculation. The exper- ence ofsimar institutions has fully answered the an. , ,ieipaticns of their patrons.
 The funds contemplated as necessary to authorize the location already secured.
 In this prosperous and public spirited couuy an n- sli,utioR of this nature evidently called for; and the laudable example, we trust, will he followed by other sections of our aad naiion till inc extensive de- and for instructors of schools, and the wants oftie waste places of Zion, shall be successfully supplied with enlightened pious and efficient Iaborers.
 A FATHER.
 Mr. EditOr-Why is it, iha, while our country teens with benevoleni societies of various kinds we hear so little said about the CoioniSasioR Socisty Is it be- eamae if ia of minor mDornnce or because inc Epun.
