form heslthfuness of the location may be inferred from
the fact that since the establishment Of the school, about
wentyeight years. very few Of serious indspoton
have occurred among the pupils and not single death
either here, or from diseases contracted while here.
The course Of instruction Includes besides the ordinary
English branches Natural Philosophy CheInistry Phy
oogy History Rhetoric the various branches of Mathe
mates, and the Latin, Creek and French Languages Par
cuar attention Is paid TO the higher Mathematics and
their application TO Mechanics and Engineering; the latter
and Surveying taught practically by field operations
with the use Of appropriate Instruments. Lectures
Natural Philosophy and Chemistry, in which all the inn
portant principles Illustrated by experiments are
regularly delivered before the students.
As the object Is to make the instruction thorough
and practical possible expense has been spared In
providing suitable apparatus 1t Is believed that In this
respect the Institution will compare ayoraby with any
similar in the country carefully selected library
of than thousand Volumes containing works
the various branches Of Literature and Science furnishes
ample reading matter; while Laboratory fully supplied
