will do every thing that depend apon me to assist
the development Of their intelligence and as far it
may be possible to improve in them those intellec
tual qualities which ought be the characteristics
Of men whom the citizens of free country may one
| day call to gil the high stations in government. I
shall do all that depend upon to make them good
citizens and good fathers of families. For this pur-
pose q liberal education developing the intellect is
intellectual IDEAS the offspring Of ignorance aud su-
perstition, her ordinary companion.
But a knowledge Of science, the exercise of the
petite arts will not suffice by themselves for COM
plete education. Religious ideas should also be in
| culcated in their young minds. The belief in one
Godais as rational as it is necessary. Though the
rites by which we honor the Divinity differ to form
they prove one and the same object, that is to offer
hommage to the Great Creator, the Archstect Of the
Universe. Our religious motto should then be 1ole-
ration, love Of God and our aeigh6or. Every atten
ton will be bestowed upon the students.-Theirf food
will be healthy and abundant. They shall have for
their recreation and the exercise necessary to their
health, large and spacious play grounds. In fine,
every thing will be done for the physical and moral
Improvement of the students.

will receive once every three mouths bulletin OF the
health and progress Of heir children.
