Connecticut State Lyce,m.-The Hartford Courant
OF last week contains long account Of the first annu-
al meeting OF this association, which was held at
Hartford on the Hh inst. We did rot calculate taking
any notice OF the meeting in our columns a. It was
altogether too long to transfer entire but at the re.
quest OF one OF the officers, will make brief synopsis
| referring those who desire more extended account
| to the Courant. The President and Secretary being
both absent, Rev. Dr.. Field took the Chair, and
Charles r. Miller acted as Secretary. Seventeen
Societies were represented, from Hartford, New.Ha-
ven. Middlesex, and New London counties. None
from Ltchtield or The other remaining counties Re.
RN0 than \ G..
were represented to be in Hourishing condition.
In the afternoon, a number Of other associations
were overwhelmingly from the counties be.
fore named. "Ltch6eld county being called, Origen
s. Seymour reported on the condition Of education in
that county" Two or three resolutions and cues
tons were introduced and discussed. One Of the re.
solutions was to the effect that the Lyceums be re.
quested to appoint delegates to visit the public and
private schools make inquiry into their condition,
mode OF instruction, and general management, and
report the result to the mex. annual meeting Of the 90
ciety.
An evening session was also held, at which sundry
resolutions were introduced, discussed, and passed,
relative to school houses, school fund.- education Of
teachers, &c.-subjects which would naturally come
up before such an association 1f sufficient interest
could be awakened to the subject, this Society, with
it's various auxiares in different parts Of the State
might be the means Of doing great amount Of good.
The officers for the ensuing year were chosen at this
time. The President is Gen. Nathan johnson, Of
Hartford one Vice President from each county-Hon
Samuel Church Of Litch6eld county-a corresponding
Secretary also for each county-O. g. Seymour for

members. The Society meets again on the Tuesday
succeeding the opening Of the Legislature in 1910.
