ga few hints from a perfect master will
add more to develop the capacity OF the
pupil than the most protracted lessons
from an inferior teacher. w. G. BRYANT.
Every profession has its acknowledged
leading man-one whose pre.eminence is
universally admitted. Mr. Duff, the prin.
cipal of this institution, has, for many
years. been the acknowledged head of his
profession. AS teacher, as the author
OF the most popular system Of Bookkeep-
ing in our language, and as practical
Acc, untart, he has earned his title to that
measure of pcblic confidence which he
enjoys.
His eighteen yecrs experience as prac'
teal accountant in ali extensive eastern
shipping business, and fourteen years, en-
ployment in teaching bookkeeping, MS
long tried experience in settling the most
intricate matters of account, and reputa-
ton as an author justly give his profess
sional reputation weight with our busl-
ness men, and even in our courts of JUS
tice, possessed by no other person in the
country.
In word, no pains or expense seem to
be spared TO render this establishment the
most complete and efficient in the United
States; and we may add, that such seems
to be its reputation at distance. The
class list exhibits students from Buffalo,
Lockport, and other places in New York;
also from Wisconsin, st. Louis, New Or
leans, Memphis, Lexington, Madison,
Charleston, S. c., and all parts of Ohio.

they shall help 10 educate our children;
but it is, nevertheless, substantial justice.
We rely, however, more particularly on
those clauses Of the Constitution, 10 which
we have before referred, and to the neces.
sity OF the case, that the fund should be a
State fund. so that all the children ''through.
out the State,' may have"a thorough and
efficient system of common schools" pro-
vided for them.
