mitted to instil into the minds of our children
will be the constant and unceasing aim of this de-
partment Of the work; and, for this purpose, the
ofr ready optr hut

lists for competition with any, and standing in
the way of none, It's legitimate sphere and aim will
be TO promote the interests Of a--recognizing no
party, in education or politics. but the party OF
the South, IT will seek to preserve the Union OF
