Of the community 10 tho permanent wei
faro aud success Of cause 40 oponuno
~ commenced, and which bell yc needs
only iboir patronage, 10 arrive at tn,
highest degree Of perfection. W. have
never had good schools In Liberty, iron
two very obvious causes--iirsi, tn,
people have noyorlaken the pains to pro
cure good teachers, and secondly we have
never been fortunate enough TO get GOOD
ones by chance, or il so they wero no
appreciated, and soon left for situation:
more desirable: the consequence Of which
IS, many are prcjudiced against schools
Situated in Liberty, and fear some have
become TO believe that there is something
In theyery atmosphere Of the place, detri-
mental TO the progress of Education.
But where is place possessing advanta-
ges either in moral or physical point of
view over LibertyP 1t is remarkably
healthy, having no loca causes whatever
10 engendcr disease; and even when the
surrounding country is suffering from
malades peculiar to our climate, the citi-
zens of Liberty are comparatively free
from lis effects. There are no allure
ments to fashionable views, by some false.
ly termed accomplishments, but which
are better calculated to corrupt tho head.
In addition to these advantages the pro-
prietors OF our schools are III every way
calculated 10 discharge the highest res
possibility resting upon them. MIR. Black
the proprietor Of the Male School is a
highly educated gentleman, possessing
experience in The tuition and government
OF pupils, with an unquestionable char
acter. He has located himself here, for the
purpose of teaching q permanent Male
School.
The Misses Russell conducting the Fee
male Academy are ladies of accomplish
ed education and talent, possessing in an
eminent degree that refined sense ofpro-
Pristy and female delicacy SO admirable
IN all, but peculiarly so in the instructor
and guardian of the young and delicate
mind of the female. Daring the time
these ladies have been teaching, they
have given the most satisfactory evidence
of their ability to instruct young ladies,
IN the various branches of moral and
intellectual science, and also in those les
sons of true refinement which so much
adorns the female character. With such
advantages permanent system OF edu-
cation could easily be established at
home, equal to any abroad; the effects OF
which would be most salutary to our
village and to the whole country, for
there is nothing which has happier
effect in community than a permanent
hourishing school, it gives life and ener-
gy TO every thing, improves the moral
state of society, increases the sources of
social happiness and by diflusing general
information eventually Interests the feel
ings of the whole community in the cause
of Education. Il.
