FILLMORE ACADEMY.-Then next
annual session Of this Institution
will commence on the first Mon
day in September next, and we
sincerely hope that it may be nu-
merously attended. Mr.. Griswold,
the able, accomplished and indie
fatigable Principal, is one of the
few gentlemen of talent and at
tainments, whose whole life is one
of sefsacrifcing labor and toll in
the great, ill-rewarded, yet noble
field of education. In general
capaGty-and as a disciplinarian,
he has NO superior-combining
firmness with kindness. Would
that we had more precepters like
Prof. GriswOld-for teachers in a
greet degree mould the character
for life of their pupils. It is not
often considered how vastly i'm
portant it is that teachers of youth
should be men and women of the
highest order of talents and at
tainments-of pure morals and
cultivated manners when we re.
feet that they, as much so as their
parents, are to mould the plastic
minds and morals Of our youth.
Let rs say to parents and guar
dams, that we have here in this
parish, near Fillmore, a first class
institution of learning, conducted
by teachers of eminent learning.
skill, and high success as educa-
tors of youth; and is it not our
duty topatronize, encourage and
sustain them in their vocation.
and thereby buildup and strength.
en- home Institutions of learning
rather then to spend our money
by sending theyouth of our parish
abroad for education-often times
among a people with whom We
have not a single thought, impulse
or interest in common? Again
parents and guardians do not in
terfere with the discipline of any
institution in which you may place
your children, or wards; and new.
er fail to manifest a constant so
licitude for their Improvement b,
frequent inquiries of their teachers
and visitations of the school they
may attend-and lastly, remember
that corrupt or unworthy parents
or guardians cannot reasonably
expect any teacher-against thu
force of their own bad examples
to m0uld their sons, daughters o.
wards into moral, intelligent ant
well educated men and women.
In conclusion, we would stat,
that we are not aware of being in
fiuenced by any personal motive
that would induce us to puff Prof
Griswold or advertise his sehoo
that we would not have taken
the trouble to pen this article
were we not interested in the
cause of home education general
", and did we not consider that
the meritorious labors of the eff
cient Principal, especially deserved
public notice and commentator
Though not o teacher, we are
fully convinced that the laborious
profession Of teaching has toe
often proved q thankless and
poorly rewarded vocation to those
who have faithfully followed it.
