CIRCULAR.

An adjourned meeting of 1.-THE Will
County Teachers Institute" will be held
at Lockport on "Wednesday, the 29th day
Of December next, at 8 o'clock, A. NJ,
for the purpose of entering into more
permanent organization, and Of confering
together upon the great interests which
Its members are iaboring to promote.
The importance OF these occasional
gatherings of Teachers, to discuss in a
familiar manner, the subject Of popular
education, to the promotion of which their
energies arc devoted, cannot be too highly
appreciated. AID it may well be ques-
toned, whether those who are aspiring to
the high and responsible position Of guides
TO the youthful mind, should be licensed or
employed to teach, who will not. il circum.
stances permit, avail themselves Of these
opportunities Of profiting by the wisdom
and experience of others with whom they
may here be associated.
As the laborers in profession have so
many difficulties to contend with, so none
have more need Of availing themselves Of
the light that may be shed upon their path
by the experience Of others, than those &c
whom is entrusted the education Of the fu
ture Sovereigns Of the Republic. e.
In addition TO the prominent object o
the meeting-the organization of Coun
" Society--exercises and addresses Of /,
E highly interesting character.by the Teach
ers and other friends Of education, may b,
Z. expected. All who feel an interest ii
having the "PeOple's Colleges" in on

to occupy, will. we crust, yield their influ
snce to promote the object at which W
are aiming. and SO far as is convenient
cheer and encourage Us with their pres
ence.
We feel assured that q draft upon th

duly honored. III. N. MARSH,
