FORT EDWARD INSTITUTE

The fifth year Of this large and successful H.
stitution has Just closed When its halls n
first opened, the question Of the relative val,.
large and smaller academic institutions f- o.,
education Of both sexes, was pending. The j.
stitution has done much to settle the cuesti--
and by its eminent success has fxeI the e,,,r,
sion, that under proper management. l4r,, seb.,f
for both sexes, are not only economical fr44ri-r
but awaken the ambition and stimulate a .r,,
en,k bic rivalry: we'll as give a mora ,-5
elevated tone TO the habits and character af r..
students above the schools Of fewer numbers an.
where but one Of the sexes Is taught
The term lust closed has been one Of the mo-.
satisfactory which have passed during the f-s
Years Of its existence. The examinations af 81,
various classes were calculated % disarn prelude.

The committee mean all thew say. when thew
affirm that with scarcely exception. the c'asss.
gave the clearest evi1enca ola thorough Enoulel-a

The Committee were delighted with the clear a-i
sp.cifc manner Of defining exhibited hy the rI-s.-
in the PHYSICAL Sciences; and the classes iu ---
Ancient and the Modern Languages gave eviIe---
Of the very asinp1,s Of ambition to excel. The r
act Sciences, apparently. receive large meags-.
of attention. if the ready and clear solution All
explanation # some of the most difficult 'ieone--
cal nrobIeus. cln be evidence Of fact. In q.
deDartnents Of Music and Painting, the Institute
was fully ~ TO its high general standard, t.a
eve and the ear Of the Committee can fully tes
tifv.
The Literary exercises Of TIE evenings were
marked with the irit Of the Institution. The
tome Of the Orations. Essavs and Poems was hi,5
and Identified. and some Of them were very SUPER
mr. In this particular the Committee have observe
with great pleasure very large advance --s-
the earlier terms and its present elevated s-71t-
ard cannot but produce favorable eifec- on t1-'s
who heard while it gives evidence Of the eharl,--
er Of the Institution.
The morals Of the Institute are above the sJl-i-
ard Of ordinary society. The religious element
pervades the whole system of tie School: and r.
| is flct worthy Of note, that no term has passed
in which a number sometimes scores) Of students
| have not been converted TO Christ. Such 4 School
can bear the reproaches Of prejudice OF envv. The
Committee were pleased to learn that, ALTHOUGH
| the act of a bad man who had beon connected with
| the Institute, was associated with it by s7-s
persons. and probably few were, in couseque--.
induced under the influence Of their just 'olic-uz
for their children TO withhold their patronage r
! the term has been profitable one to the Lessee
! and the Principal has received a new evidence n
the confidence and esteem of his thousand fra-iz
The COMMITTEES can confidently recommend the
Fort Edward Institute 10 the patronage ofthe f1--
| ference and the Country.
