the committee have considered long and anxtously.
A Is undoubted fact that the sole purpose OF the
establishment OF such school IN this state, was
10 prepare competent teachers for our common
schools. This tact, the committee wish in future
40 keep ever In their view in the past they have
perhaps not done go, much as they should, and
hence that kind Of knowledge has been impaired,
which fitted the students for other and more ucra-
tive pursuits; and we are sorry 70 say that 10 a
number OF instances, the students have preferred
ale greater gains Cf other pursuits TO keeping their
promise Of teaching common schools. The CON.
mittse are not able 10 state the number OF such
violations OF faith, but they believed TO be more
numerous OF late, than formerly, and are cause
Of soirow and anxiety; for no well founded eKpec-
teten can be cherished II his becoming good
