rcd to, a foundation, his believed, has been laid
for the accomplishment Of some gOod-how
much will depend upon tho energy with which
tho future operations Of ths Board, uad

conducted. Patient, persevcring labor Is the in
dispensabe condition TO the accomplishment Ot
this, as it is ofeyery other good.

demands for teachers, nearly forty ladies have
been assembled at Albany, n. T., where they are

The advantage Of daily wishing The Normal
School, and Of the course Of lectures by its Prin.
cpal can be appreciated by those only who have
witnessed the excellent arrangements Of tha
school, and the eminent ability with which every
department Of il is conducted.
So important do the Board consider the course
Of preparatory raining referred to, that is lhci
