The Institute to-day completes its second year,
and it may now be considered "fixed fact" Bur.
over 100 pupils, and those of class that will al.
ways reflect credit school;-.hard students,
young men and women anxious to progress in &C.
quiring an education, and who attend for no other
purpose. One admirable rule is in force there..-and
that is if pupil will not study, he stay We
were assured this strictly enforced and its be.
nef is seen in the lively interest taken in the school
by all the pupils. Wealth nor high position in So
ciey will not ente yourg man or lady to con.
tinue in the school, il with these they wanting
in energy-."in application lin industry Were
this ule adopted in all institutions there would be
fewer brainless Tops in the world who think because
they have s,uyed certain length Of time at col.
lege, they are learned.
An effort was made, we understand, at the last
session of the Pitsburg Conference to have this in.
sitution endowed college, BY subscriptions, and
the issuing oil perpetual scholarships and commit
tee was appointed to solicit subscriptions for this
purpose. Wesee no reason why n college in East.
ern Ohio cannot be sustained, and made crediiable
to those engaged, and beneficial tu the community.
There need be no better point than Barnesve, and
no better teachers for it than the present there
.--though they would need more. We hope persons
interested III this matter will think of it, and when
solicited for subscriptio ms respond cheerfully and
liberally,
III should ever be changedto q college, gentle
men, by all means make industry, and studious
hubis test Of Scholarship. Enforce the rule strict.
ly, and it will be better for the teachers and the
taught.
Messrs. DAVENPORT e. THOMSON are both men OF
science and every way calculated for the arduous
and responsible duties Of teachers. As classical
scholar nguist, Prof DAVENPORT has few equals
no superiors..-as mathematician Prof. THOMPSON
isone Of the most thorough in the. country. Afiable
courteous and gentlemanly, they have the
most admirable control of their pupils,
without using harsh measures without destroying
t6ateasy confidence which should always exis, be.
tween teacher and scholar.
Notice OF the commencement oil the fall session
will be given in due time.
