wAsHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY AT C0NSTANTI
NOPLE

Yesterday was a proud day for Americans in
this metropolis. For the first time. the birth
day of Washington was celebrated, publicly
in the capitol of the Turkish empire! We have
in our harbor several English and French
ships of war; besides an Austrian frigate, (just
arrived, with an Admiral on board, and two
Austrian government steamers; one or two
Dutch vessels, and of course several vessels of
the Turkish navy ;besides our own government
ship the Lepant. Early in the morning each
of these vessels raised the American ensign at
masthead, in memory of the llustrous man.
of whom we are justly so proud, and whom all
nations delight to honor; and all day long the
whole harbor seemed covered wi h the stars
and stripes. At twelve o'clock the LeUant led
off with a salute of 21 guns, which was follow
ed by the ships of the other powers, the Turks
included, thus announcing, for the first time,
to the half-slumbering Constantinopolitans, a
great historic fact, with which the interest of
many nations, besides our own stand connec-
ted, more than is now perceived by most. -

REV. JOHN LYON, PRINCIPAL.
w, w. CAM PBELL, a. B.,
Associate Principal.

TIE FIRST session Of the fourth school year Of
this Institution will open on the first Monday Of
September, 1854.
The present school year opens auSpiciGusly.
The Principal looks forward with confidence,
under Gods favor, to lis efficiency and sue
cess With enlarged experience and invieo-
rated health, with the Teacher Of his choice,
who has already commended himself to the at
tachment and confidence of this community,
and with a corps Of students already drilled
and animated with some generous enthusiasm
for knowledge, he hopes fully TO sustain the
high estimation in which his tellow-citzens
have been pleased 10 regard this school OF learn
ing. The studies of the advanced class will
cover good part of the Junior and Senior
Course in our best Colleges. No pains wall be
spared TO dtvelope the intellect and perfect
the scholarship of the Juvenile Glasses. While
memory is cultivated, and accuracy OF Iecita-
ton enforced, where set words are important,
it is our guiding principle, that the great OBJ
ect Of Education is to teach the young mind
how TO think, and 10 express in suitable ian-
guage what it THINKS. We ever keep in view
that s.the repetition, parrot-Hke, OK the words
of the school book, by the pupil, ryinces neither
his knowledge of the subject nor his power to
enunciate il and much less do the monosylla-
bic answers to fixed set of questions"
If practice upon this principle gives the
Teacher more labor, it will ensure hin higher
reward and the Pupil thousand-iold more
benefit.
During the past year an Astronomical .4p-
payatus has been procured, at cost of $50.
Seperate entrances and seperate seats are ap-
proprated TO the Male and Female Departments.
it has long been a Desideratum with the
Principal to introduce ttoroHgh md scicafifc
stady Of roeoi muSie as part Of the Academic
Course II viii now take its place by the side
Of Grammar and Arithmatic daily recita-
tion. We hope to wipe off that rpproach for
Deficiency here which lies 50 Justly against most
of the Schools and Academies Of England and
America.
