A OF SOUTH CAROLINA,

WHEREAS the last General Assembly Of
South Carolina, with q wise forecast and a
liberal regard for the public welfare, based rs il
is so essentially on the good sense and virtue OF
her citizens, enacted a law by which the Commits
sioners of Free Schools are authorized to establish
a Normal School in the city of Charleston, 70 which
the country districts will be entitled 10 serd a GER
tain number of pupils.
And whereas the enterprising Board of st.
Philips and St. Michael's;have now in operation,
Mt their excellent public school in the city, weekly
exercises, which will serve to exemplify the bene-
fits of such an establishment.
Now, therefore, I recommend to the several
Boards of Commissioners of Free Schools in the
Stat. to appoint, at their next quarterly meeting,
on the fourth Monday in April, and depute one or
more of their number to visit the said public
school (St. Phillips street, in Charleston, at
their convenience, so rs to be able to report the
result of their observation at the quarterly meet
ing on the fourth Monday of October next.
Also, / do hereby invite all the Teachers of Free
School-scholars throughout the State to come and
see for themselves how the said Public School is
conducted, and what are the uses of Normal
School.
As the expenses of such a visit might put it
out of the power of many to come. however much
they may desire it, I venture to say for the good

will be opened to any Teacher who shall be pro-
vided with a letter of introduction, or with the
certificates of the President and Secretary of the
Board of Commissioner at home. Failing in this,
or in cases public house is preferred, it affords me
pleasure to announce that Mrs. Kennedy, Of the
American Hotel, in King street, will on account
of this Department, take care of any Teacher of q
Free School who will deposit with her, his or her
certificates from the President and Secretary of
the District Board Of Commissioners for which he
or she may be employed, from the first Of June to
the fifth inclusive.
Furthermore, I appeal to the proper authorities
of the railroads and other public conveyances, by
means of which they must reach the city, to in
struct their several agents, upon the exhibition to
them of the said certificates, to pass all such Teach
es of Free Schools, and one Commissions from
each Board, going down for the purpose herein
set forth, for one fare, going and returning.
l am assured that the Commissioner of Free
Schools of St. Phillips and st. Michael's will take
pleasure in ~affording every facility to the Teachers
and others, to observe and profit by the improved
methods. Visitors will only have to apply to C..
G. MEMM1NGER, Esq, Chairman or to any
member of the Board, at the Public School House,
in St. Phillips street, to be admitted at the proper
hours.
a nIed time mas 0een menuOned, from the hrst
to the fifth June. Better for ell parties, if it be
at all convenient, to adopt this appointment; but
if there be impediments to prevent any Teachers
from coming at that time, the Commissioners will
receive them at any other timein May or June, in
GLIDING Saturday as one of the days.
Given under my hand and the seal of the State,
at Chicora, near Georgetown, this second day
of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and fifty eight. and in the
eighty-second year of American Endepen-
dence.
