tua qualities which ought to be the characteristics

shall do all that depend upon me to make them good
citizens and good fathers of families. For this pur
pose liberal education developing the intellect is
required an education free from contracted and anti
intellectual IDEAS the ospringo of ignorance and SUI
perstition, her ordinary companion.
But knowledge Of science, the exercise of the
polite arts will not suffice by themselves for COM
pete education. Religious ideas should also be in
culcated in their young minds. The belief in one
God is as rational it is necessary. Though the
rites by which honor the Divinity differ to form,
they prove one and the same object, that is to offer
homnage to the Great Creator The irclistect Of tie
L1iucrse. Our religious motto should then be Tote
ratio7,, lore Of God and aeigtbor. Every attel-
ton will be bestowed upon the students.-Their fepd
