nigh overpowered in the fight, cast before
him the casket, and, followed by his com.
rades' Glove his way after it to victory s.
they must cast before them the ta!isman OF
their good cause. and follow it to final tri-
umph.
With this inspiriting address. and after
singing Old Hundred, the Convention adj
journed to meet again next year, at St.
Johnsbury
The session IS allowed by all to have been
much the largest and in every way the most
interesting and successful meeting of the as
ISOLATION, thus far. There were many fea-
lures connected with it. which we remem-
Der and note with peculiar pleasure. The
large proportion Of ladies gave the audience
at all times lively and pleasant appearance.
Vases Of flowers decked the stand from dav
to day \ collection Of HYMNS. adapted to
the occasion, had been printed and were free
ly distributed. enabling all to join in the
singing. which at once filed pleasantly the
intervals of business and gave impressiveness
and soleinnity to the proceedings. The most
perfect harmony and good feeling reigned
throughout the successive discussions. The
lit rary exercises were practical and eleva-
ting in their tone The numerous strangers
present were, so far as we are aware, prompt
ly and 5reeably acc)mmodated by our cit-
zens, and will. We trust, carry with them
pleasant rem m1rInoes of their stay here.
The entire influence Of the occasion cannot
but be powerful and extensive for good. We
chronicle its success with sincere gratifca-
Inn,-a success which it is SIMPLE justice To
'ay, was I,rSsly due to the eff ;i-ncy Of the
C'mmittes Of R .ception, Mss,rs. Wore ster,
\. Peck, Jr., and E. A Fuller, to the ex-
'el .ent Prlsid Mt and .cretary of the ASS
'iation, t, the Secretary of the Bard Of E lu-
,atiIn and to the Chairman Of the Business
Committee, Mr. BF. Wiuslow.

Your committe appointed to take into consider

submit tlc following report:
Not long after the last annual meeting of this
'sociation. one Of the gentlemen appointed 10

IS, at the end of five months, "A payin, subserit r'
on that viii insure them against any direct pe-
MARY los, for the first year.
This success of the Journal Is, almost entirely
lie TO the interest and energy of its conduct rs
ID whatever credit il has gained OF influence il Q,
IS exerted. Is also Cue 20 them-and the whole
cuuiary responsibility rest upon them. Hence
ar committee unanimously recommend-that u
sssrs- Leavenworth and Spaulding be requested ! -
this associati N TO continue the publication of Sc
Journal, according To their jud- ueut Of what Of
best interests of education in the State require hl
on their own responsibility. nl
ID further, while we believe it TO be neithcrprac ca
able nor desirable to divide the respousib litv q
editing the Journal we wish 10 say that two an
nss seem to Us essential TO its pcrmaneuce and tu
-fulness "
firstly, Its literary character, while not aiming re-
be distinctly profound nr philosophical mast b.
re, chaste, and sclolarly-and its educational
ws aud theories must be wise. iudici,us and F.
.cti,able
And secondly Since the conductors cannot ex- pi
t a pecuniary profit that will enable them to toi
ure the services of competent paid contri butors
agents, they must have the free and generous J.
of those who are intsiIgently and deeply in R0
estcd in the of education in Vermont
Ani we therefore recommend that teachers and pr
interested in the cause which theJouinal seeks
promote, do Cooperate with its conductors in
~ way that Is calculated to make it what is nv
ded, and to give il a large circulation. p
