NORMAL CLASS
AT THE
MARLBORO UNION SCHOOL


of August, and continue Eleven weeks. The
following paragraphs are extracted from N.
address of the Students at the last session Of
the Normal Glass
"Thc congregation Of large number Of
individuals under rntber adventiiious cir
cumstnDces, but having n common object in
view, has been followed by n steadily in
cre0sing degree of harmony and good feel
ing, commensurate only with the rapidiy Of
their improvement. Among the peculiar
influences which have operated TO bring
nhout so gfent success in so short n period
OF time, the energy, zeal aud interest of the
lnhhbltnnts stands most conspicuous. They
have permitted tax TO I've levied, the current
year, of fourteen mills on the dollar, OH all
the property in the district, over aud above
the State tax, for educational purposes, md
when this fund was found insufficient, indi.
yidunis have voluntarily subscribed consid.
cradle amounts. In all the records of edu.
cation there has never been iustanced town
or village where the cause of Improvement
bus been as literally sustained as in tLls
place.
Co-importnnt with this, is the high stnnd.
ing of the Principal, an individual posses.
sing ia an eminent degree that rare combi-
nation of talents which has procured for him
here, ns elsewhere, the unbounded confidsnes
and highest respect of oil within his infiu-
ence.
"Next in importance in the train of cir.
cumstnnces which have so powerfully one.
rated to advance the interests of this partic.
uur school, mny be ranked the peculiar,
analytical, demOnsiratKc, thorough and prac.
teal methods of teaching which are adopted.
Without going into lengthy dissertation on
lis advantages over other modes, or detailing
the peculiariiies of the system itself suffice
II to say that there are real distinguishing
traits aud manifest advantages over any other
mode within our knowledge, aud Just and
adequate idea OF its superiority can only be
obtained 10y n visit to the school itself
"In its facilities for illustration, the Siarl.
boro Union School can safely challenge com.
pnrison with nEy in the eStnte-possessing tho
most modern and improved forms of Pliilos.
optical, Astronomical, Chemical and Ana
tOnical apparatus. Purchased at nm expense
of 1000 it is superior to any in the State.
with the exception Of that in three or tour
colleges.
"rhe good feeling Of the students. hard
and lnborous study, and the plan for tho
seli-governncnt of the school, have been
loslered and sustained by the publication OF
two daily papers; one by the male the other
10y the female department. These pnperu
being edited and read each morning ut tho
commencement of the exercises, by the stu
dents consecutively, and having a portion
devoted to the exercises Of tho proceeding
day, have been found To exert tine most snlu.
tary influence, not only in the moral govern
ment, but IN securing q prompt attendance
aud unusual application To study. They have
likewise, III turn, developed talents aud re-
sources III persons who might otherwise havs
sas...l 0..Fs Al -.
Two evenings of each week have been
appropriated TO the cultivation of Lterarr
talents through the medium of an Eiocutiou
class and Lyceum, each Of whirh has
proved to be an abundant source Of profit
aud pleasure.
"The interest of tho present term has
likewise been enhanced by the Normal Glass,
! comprising many old and experienced teach.
| ers.
Notwithstanding the press of studies and
| other duties, sufficient time has been found
to make the superior advantages of the older
portion available To those less fortunate, by
several experience meetings, in which tht
subject of school government has been one
OF the highest interest, aud many circum-
stances incident to the teachers profession
related, which should properly come before
tie public, us serving TO show the rnpid

daily exercises of the Normal Clsss have
consisted in part of demonstrations OF tha
various rules mud first principles of the varf-
ous sciences, aud lectures on school regula-
lions, arrangement of classes, etc."
In addition to the apparatus mentioned above,
the use of French Dissecting Manikin, at an
expense of $500, has been secured for the
