'ohoSc testimonials shall contain n sfote,ne,,,
TO that Effect. Yet we deem it decidedlv
better, independently of relieving the funds
of our Board from the charge, that in such
cases, special efforts should be made to fnr-
nsh the needy applicants with the means of
paying for their board, by the friends ofour
cause in the places whence they come. 1t
will give them an additional interest in the
teachers sent, while it will be a small con-
trlbution in aid of very worthy object of
Christian regard.
The Board will defray the travelling ex-
penses of the teachers, from Hartford to the
places OF their destination, provide for them
a suitable escort, and send them directly TO
the care of respectable individuals in the
places where they are to teach-having pre-
viously made arrangements for their recep-
ton and employment, at compensation
which shall furnish respectable support
A late amendment of the Constitution of
the Board has authorized an appropriation
of its funds " for the purpose Of aiding
teachers, in cases of their sckness-a fail
ure Of engagements which may have been
made to employ them, and their removal for
good cause, from one place to another )" and
also for giving " aid to teachers whose con-
tlnuation in places, where it is found that
an adequate support cannot be obtained,
shall be deemed important, with view to
their employment as missionary teachers,
and in expectation of their ultimate support
by the people where they may thus continue
to labor" This provision of the Constitu-
ton will be executed by the General Agent
under the direction of the Executive Com.
mittee, so far as the funds of the Board
shall enable him to do it,
1t is expected that those sent out by the
Board will continue teaching, should health
permit, at least two years. Should they
find themselves able to refund the amount
advanced for their travelling expenses, no
doubt is entertained that they will cheerfuly
do it, for the purpose of aiding others to
follow them to the field of their benevolent
labor.
There are probably ladies-we hope ma
ny-desiring to become teachers at the
West, who have ample means of going, and
desire to go, at their own expense. From
such we specially invite applications, and
shall be happy to give them the advantage
of the course at Hartford, provide them
schools at the West, and give them an cs-,
cort thther. To this extent we presume
they will not be unwilling to be dependent
upon the Board, but will be pleased to en-:
Joy the facilities it furnishes for the gratifi-
cation of their desire to do good.
Teachers of various grades of schools,
from the common to the high school, are
wanted. The demand for music teachers is
increasing. 1t is very desirable that all the
teachers should be able to lead their schools
in vocal music.
The Board has sent out teachers, indis-
criminately, from the Congregational, Bap-
fist, Methodist, Presbyterian and Episcopal
denominations from all of which it is hop
ed applications will continue to be made
We desire to make this, practically, I'M
ion movement.
1t is desired that the applications be sent
to the Committee at Hartford, with as little
delay as possible. Those who shall be Sc
lected from among the applicants, for the
preparatory course, will be seasonably noti-
fled by the Committee, and will be expected
at Hartford in season to have the course
commence on the Odd of March. 1t is very
desirable that the whole class should be pres
ent at that time. On their arrival at the
Rail Road Depot, they will take hacks to
the Orphan Asylum, in Washington Street,
the building provided for their reception.
