EiEs.--In looking ever the htNuti
fully printed Catalogues Of tao Aeadnn'Js aud
High Schools of this State, which haze Ign
kindly sont iusb by their respective conductors,
we have been srnck at the rapid increase Of
these institatiessin Vermont, during the last
thirty years. While the population of the
State in that period, has not Increased 80 per
: cent, tie number Of these SCHOOLS has increased
more than 100 per cent, and what is still more
note worthy, Is that tie ratio of pupils in ut
tendance, io even beyond chat of the increase in
the number Of the schools.
There is johnson Academy, under the super
vision of T. G. Benton, Jr., with its aggregate
of "a pupils. Georgia Academy, under 7. II.
Waterman, with the aggregate Of 2G7,-that
OF uhdarhill, lately started, under j. S. Ci!ley,
with its 2l5,--that of Barre, under j. S.
Spalding, with it's SEQ, Burlington High
School, under Charles ". Thompson, with its
daily average Of 40 pupils. An3 lastly the
new select school at Albany, under A. j. Hyde,
beginning or SO pupils, though thoie are two
good Academies in the two towns ABIDING it on
on the North and South
All these are conducted by highly educated
and laudnbly ambitious young men, with their
full Compliments Of Assistants, and oil in The
most dourshing condiditoa And yet, they
are bat amer fraction Of tbs whole number Of
such institutions in the State. Surely the friends
OF Education, 50 far as relates to the higher

oouraged.
