APPEAL OF THE TWIN MOUND HARMONIC COL
LEGE ASSOCIATION.
To the Friends Of a Nt9c and True System Of
EdHcGtioH:-The foregoing documents, embrac-
ing our own Articles Of Association, and also the
Articles into which we propose entering with
those who may consent to aid US, constitute the
basis of the appeal We have to make, in behalf
of the College we wish TO found. And those
whom we thus address, as the friends of New
and True System of Education, we feel to be
already SC in harmony with us, that the bare
reading of those documents will suffice to bring
them to a full and proper realization of our views
and aims. We shall then be spared the need of
a statement of our enterprise, and almost Of an
argument to induce cooperation in it.
For ourselves, and for the Great West, and for
all, in all parts, who may wish to come to us, We
seek to institute the M:eans of n great and per-
feet Education. An Education which shall pre-
pare its subjects for, and develop them into, the
True Life of progressed and unfOlded humani-
ty; and which shall therefore be- in its training,
as comprehensive as Life's interests, as practi-
cable as Lifes duties, and as perpetual as Life's
destiny. An nEducation which shall be Harmon
ic which shall cultivate the body, as wSlas the
mind; teach health, equally with morals; and
ripen the whole being into strength, efficiency,
usefulness and happiness. An Education which
shall be open to all. and which shall bless all,
regardless of Nature, OF distinctions and preju-
dices Of men; which shall be as free to the cop
per hue of the West. or the dark skin of the
south. as the paler face Of the East or North;
man BY the side Of her equal brother, Man. and
thus help atone for the long wrong done to her.
An Education which shall teach Science and not
Sect; Facts and Laws, and not Doctrines; Ma
ture, and not a Greed; Truth, and not Authori-
~; the life Present, and not the dead Past. And
an Education Of, end into, Freedom; where no
mind shall be shaekled, no thought fettered, and
no aspiration repressed; but the whole being
shall be lf-moved and spontaneous, and rounded
out to q full end perfect Individuality. In one
word, both for ourselves and others, we seek to
realize this entire Education wehave portrayed,
By the only means that can ever possibly bring
it, the foundation Of an Institution that shall
be HRieeredl in its ains--a College of Nature-a
School Of Seience-a Gymnasium Of Life
Not upon considerations Of selfish gain to

Pixies Peak.

The following is an extract from Col.
Fremont's Narrative of the Exploring Ex-
pedition to the Rocky Mountains, in the
year 1912.
"July 8th. We continued to-day to
travel up the Platte; the morning was
pleasant, with prospect of fair weather.
We caught this morning view of Pixies
Peak but it appeared for moment only
as the clouds rose early over the mount
aims, and shrouded them in mist and rain
all day. While travelling in this region,
remarked that always in the morning,
the lofty peaks were visible and bright,
but very soon small, white clouds began
to settle around them-brewing thicker
and darker, as the day advanced, until
the afternoon, when the thunder began
to roll, and invariably at evening we had
more or less of a thunder Storm,
"July 8 This morning we turned to
the eastward, along the upper waters of
the stream on which we had encamped.
entering a country of picturesque and va
ried scenery +; broken into rocky hills of
singular shape little valleys with pure,
crystal water, here leaped swiftly along,
and then losing itself in the sand; green
spots of luxuriant grass, flowers of all COL
ors, and timber of different kinds-everv
thing to give varied beauty to the coun-
try, except game"
"July 11th. l turned this morning to
the southwark, up the valley of Beiou.-
We followed the stream to its head in a
broken ridge, which, according to the ba-
rometer, was about fifteen feet above the
sea. This is apiney elevation, into which
the prairies are gathered, and from which
the waters flow in almost every direction.
to the Arkansas, Platte and Kansas rivers;
the latter stream having here its remotest
sources. We had an excellent view of
Pixies Peak from this camp, at distance
of 40 miles. This mountain barrier nre-
sents itself to the mountain traveller on
the plains, which sweep almost directly
20 its base-an immense and COMPARE
lively smooth and grassy prairie, in yery
strong contrast with the black masses of
timber, aud the glittering snow above
them. With occasional exceptions. COM
paratlvely so very small as not to require
mention, these prairies are covered with
close and vigorous growth of great vari-
ETY. OF grasses, among which the most
abundantis buffalo grass. The soil of all
this country is excellent, admirably adapt
ed to agricultural purposes, and would
support large agricultural and pastoral
population. A glance at the map, along
our several lines of travel, will show
that the plain is watered by many
streams"

o. This is as true as it is beautiful:-
"How easily one can tell whether a man
is glad from within, or whether it is only
the play of the sunbeams that chance to
fall on him. Happiness is not the work
Of chisel and mallet; not morticed in the
soul, it is put out like the arm of tree,
whose green unraveled sleeve fiutters with
the life it shares"
