THE SIXTEENTH Glass of Teachers of
the BOARD OF NATIONAL POPULAR Epu-
CATION will assemble at Hartford, Conn,
ON Friday, the 18th of August. Ladies
wishing to join the class should send
written applications to Miss Nancy
SwlrT, at South Hadlcy, Mass, by the
middle of July. The age, residence and
religious denomination of each applicant
should be stated, with the branches sho
can teach and her experience in teach
ing. Testimonials in regard to educa-
tion, capacity to teach, natural peculiar
tiles, and moral and religious character,
should accompany the applications
Some experience in teaching, and a
thorough acquaintance with tho common
branches arc indispensable. A largo
proportion of the applications to US for
teachers require knowledge of tho
higher branches. Music teachers arc
wanted. A capacity to sing is impor-
tant.
The class will be carried through a
preparatory course of six weeks under
the superintendent Of Miss Swift. They
will receive much practical instruction
of great Importance to them We are
anxious that every teacher We send out
should 60 through the entire course. 1t
brings them into moro fully sympathy
with our movement, while it gives US a
knowledge of their respective qualifca-
tions which enables US the better to give
them appropriate and fitting locations.
Applicants will have notice of their
acceptance or nonacceptance. They
are earnestly requested to DO at Hart
ford promptly on tho llth of August
More especially would we request that
no application be withdrawn after the
applicant is accepted. We promise
western applicants for teachers that they
shall be supplied, upon tho implied en-
gagement of accepted teachers, that they
will join our classes. Their failure very
much embarrasses US. We hope the ap-
plcations will be made from no moment
airy impulse, but under the influence of
well settled Christian principle, prompt
ing an irrepressible and unconquerable
desire to do good. How brief is life
How great the Christians work and
how great the pririiege of la6oying for
human good
On arriving at Hartford, the teachers
will take hacks, flor which twenty
cents only can be demanded,) to the
" Orphan Asylum" They will board in
common with the Superintendent, at an
expense to them of $500 week In
case of manifest inability to delay this
expense, aid will be given by the Board.
Let the poverty of no good teacher pre-
vent her applying. The course is gra-
t'ato's. We pay the travelling expenses
to the West. The teachers may refund
this, if able, 10 aid in sending out more
teachers. We wish it to be distinctly
understood, that we expect they will
teach at least two years, should health
permit.
The teachers will be sent to places
from which definite applications shall
have been received, and a respectable
compensation offered Positions will be
assigned them, to which they shall seem
best adapted, and where they can be
most useful. They will leave Hartford,
with an escort, on the 23d of Septem-
Der.
Our Board has sent out $40 teachers.
The Boston Ladies' Society-now
branch Of the Board-has sent out 100.
The demand for teachers is increasing.
We hope for an increasing supply. Let
parents cheerfully give their daughters,
and daughters give themselves to this
good work,
WILLIAM SLADE, Cor. Sec.
and Gen. Agent of the Board.
