propose to collect a second class OF Teachers to
be sent out this fall. 1t is intended that thew
shall go through course Of preparation SINH
lar to that pursued BY the Teachers sent out las,
Spring.
That course consisted Of lectures on the de-
tails Of teaching the Primary Branches,-on
history-on Physiology, with special reference
to the preservation Of health on the modes Of
organizing and conducting different kinds O.,
schools in different places, and embraced also
various other topics Of advice and instruction
Instruction was also given in Calistnenics and
Composition. The whole course occupied four
weeks at the close Of which time, the Teachers
IS in number proceeded from Albany to Buff
falo, where they divided into separate compa-
MES, destined to Detroit, Milwaukee,
WiscOnsin-Chicsgo, Illinois, and Burlington,
Iowa. AT each of these places, Gov. Sl.de had
previously organized Committees, who received
the Teachers on their arrival. and provi1ed them
with schools. One Of the Teachers had gone 10
the Territory of MINNESOTA.
In several Of these States the demand for
Teachers was much greater than the supply
sent. Returns have been received, giving very
favorable accounts Of the kindness manifested
towards the Teachers, and their fiatierng pros
poets Of usefulness. The character ana infiu-
ence Of these Teachers have awakened new in
terest and exertions for this cause wherever they
have gone. The result will probably be, that q
much larger number will be demanded this fall.
The friends Of education at the West are ma

feel that aid Of immense and incaiculabe value
