He brings hattering testimonials of echo- larship from the Faculty of Frankfort College. The Principal has employed, his assistant Mr. NJ. L. Castee gentleman of am:able qualities and fully competent to take charge of the studies which will be under his supervision. Mir. C. has taught very sue cesuly for the lust two years at Ten Spring Chalel This school affords very superior advantages for the attainment of liberal education. It is needless to urge in this enlightened day the great necessity of mental culture. All classes of men perfectly under stand its importance. The history of mankind abundantlv shows that the seat of empire never fails in the end to follow the seat of intellectual power- Nor is high degree of mental development less need ful to individual success. He who would command aworthy and Gignifed position among fellow-mcn expect to do only. by the cultivation of noble virtues and by intellectual superiority. These elevate men to places of distinction and profit. To him, therefore, who anxious for his own success, for the success of lis children in life the argument in behalf of finished and useful education, appeals with overwhelming force.
 The Camden High School offers capital induce ments to young men who wish to pursue Classical and Scientific Course. While the design of the in structors will be at all events to mpar useful knowl edge. they will foster in every student, true dignity of behavior and manliness of bearing.
