School Education, Us embodied in the sysicmso
the most enlightened nations and Mr.. EMERSON
is widely known as one OF the Oldest and most
successful teachers in the honorcd and intelligent
State which enjoys his labors. Both branches OF
the general bject arc fully and clearly discusscd
and VIC are confident that the influence OF the
work on all branches Of education must be OF the
most elevating and bcnefcent character. Ten
thousand copies of it have already been circulated
in this State by the liberality Of single individ-
ual: and we are confident that even this will
prove by no means the limit of its usefulness.

pledge" being administered. At st. LOUIS four
or five hundred children, belonging to the Sunday
schools, formed juvenile anti gambling society,
said to be the first society Of the kind ever formed

in the world.
