will do every thing that depend5uRon me to assist
the development OF their intelligence and far as it
may be possible, toimprove in them those intellec-
tual 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-
posea liberal education developing the intellect is
reqnred an education free from contracted and anti
intellectual ideas the offspring of ignorance and su-
perstition, her ordinary companion.

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 as it is necessary. Though the
rites by which we honor the Divinity differ as to FORM
they prove and the same object that is to offer
hommage to the Great Creator, the Architect of the
Usiuerse Our religious motto should then be Iole-
ration loue of God and our aaeighbor Every atten-
ton will be bestowed upon the students-Their food
