RAJ The Committee who have listened to
the reading Of the several teachers Of the In.
stitute, would offer tie following as their re-
port Of criticisms.
In general, We have been gratifed, and feel
that tie teachers do no; underrate the very
desirable accomplishment Of being able to read
well. In giving our criticisms on the various
readers, We shall be brief, aud to the point,
considering that !" g 8ord TO the wise is sufi-
cient, and tha. each will endeayor to profit By
the suggestions ws may make. We mention
no names Of readers, bat only the selections
read, so that each reader may recognize his
own. It Is also proper TO remark here, that
where the readers are maoy, and the variations
In many cases bat slight it follows, Of necessity,
that in our criticisms there must be q repeti-
tisn Of words, and Q sameness in our remaks

ciently distinct in euuuciatioD, and vas not
sufficiently emphatic 10 express the sentiment
