following paragraphs arc extracted from the !
address OF the Students at the last session of
the Normal Glass
"The congregation of large number of |
individuals under rather adventurous cir
but having common object Ia |
view, has been followed by steadily in 1
creasing degree of harmony aud good feel
ing, commensurate only with the rapidty Of
their Improvement Among the peculiar
influences which have operated to bring
about so great success in so short II period
of time, the energy, zeal and interest of the /
inhabitants stands most conspicuous. They 1
have permitted tax to I've levied, the current /
year, Of fourteen mills on the dollar, on all /
the property in the district, over aud above |
the state tax, for educational purposes aud 1
when this fund WINS found insufficient, indi- 1
Vlduals have voluntarily subscribed consd- !
cradle amounts. In all the records Of cdu.
cation there has never been nstauced a town |
or village where the cause OF improvement |
Inns been us liberally sustained as in thus |
place.
"Co-important with this, is tie high stand.
ing Of the Principal, an individual posses.
sing IN an eminent degree that rare con,b-
nation of talents which has procured for him
here, rs elsewhere, the unboundcd confidence
aud highest respect of all within his iuhu-
ence.
"Next IN importance in tho trnin of cir
cunstances which have SO powerfully ope-
rated to advance the interests of this pnric.
ulur school, may be ranked the peculiar,
analytical, demoustralive, thorough aud pruc-
teal methods Of teaching which are adopted.
Without going into lengthy dissertation Oh
its advantages over other modes, or detailing
the peculiurities of the system itself, suffice
it to say that there are real distinguishing
traits aud manifest advantages over any other
mode within Our knowledge, and Just and
adequate idea of its superiority can only be
obtained by visit TO the school ITSELF

tomicnl apparatus Purchased at an expense
of 81 600, il is superior to any in the State,
with the exception Of that in three or four |
colleges.
"The good feeling of the students, hard |
and lnborious study, and tho plan for the
selEgovernlnent of the school, have been |
foslered aud sustained by the publication of
two daily papers; one by the male the other
by the female department. These papers |
being edited and rend each morning at the |
commencement of the exercises, by the stu
dents consecuively, and having II portion |
devoted 10 the exercises of the proceeding |
day, have been found to exert tine most salu- |
tary influence, not only in the moral govern |
ment, but ~ securing prompt attendance
aud unusual application TO study. They have |
likewise, in turn, developed talents aud re-
sources in persons who might Otherwise hive
remnned Ignorant of their possession.
"Two evenings of each wceL, hive been
appropriated to the cultivation of Literary
talents through the medium of an Eiocution
class aud Lyceum each of which has
proved TO he an abundant source Of prof, |
aud pleasure.
"The interest of the present term has
likewise been enhanced by the Normal Glass,
many old and experienced teach
ers.
Notwithstanding the press Of studies aud
other duties, sufficient time has been found
to make the superior advantages of the older
portion available 10 those less fortunate, by
several experience meetings, in which the
subject OF school government has been one
OF the highest interest, aud many crcum-
stances incident to the teachers profession
related, which should properly come before
the public, us serving 10 show the rapid
progress Of the cause OF education. The /
daily exercises of the Normal Class have
consisted in part of demonstrations OF the !
various rules and first principles of the vnri- |
ous sciences, aud lectures on school regula- !
lions, arrangement OF classes, etc"
