the expectation of those parents who shall have
con6ded the education of their children to me. j
will do every thing that depend upon me to assist
the development OF their intelligence and as far as it
may be possible, to improve in them those intellec-
tual qualities which ought to be the characteristics
Of men whom the citizens of free country may one
day call to fill the high stations in government.
shall do all that depend upon me to make them good
citizens and good fathers Of families. For this pur-
pose liberal education developing the intellect is
required education free from contracted and anti
intellectual ideas, the offspring Of ignorance and su-
perstiton, her ordinary companion.
But knowledge of SCIENCE the exercise of the
polite 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
God is as rational as it is necessary. Though the
rites by which honor the Divinity differ to FORM
they prove one and the object that is to offer
hommage to the Great Creator the Architect of the
Universe. Our religious motto should then be Iole
ration, lore Of God and cur neighbor Every atten-
ton will be bestowed upon the studentsTheirfo 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.
Corporal pu shment expressly forbidden. Parents
will receive once every three months bulletin OF the
health and progress Of their children.
