glad to hear Of his suecess;
PAssaic, N. J., July 10, 1869.
Nsssrs. Editors - ! our paper pays me
a yery pleasant weekly visi, and is eagerly
welcomed. OF the several magazines aud
uaners receive, no one brings with Il that
home feeling and that attraction Of tplir6rsdl
interest which Ia wrapt ap ia your paper,
although our political views differ entirely.
/ see maay familiar faces and many inter.
est centering places in the names and met
dents which live and speak to 4ne in your
weekly columns.
Having cone out from among you from
a position in which tried to live pro bono
pnblico, and having come here for the same
uurpose, it may not be embarrassing TO you
10 know something of my work here.
The position to which | was called has
proved twice as valuable and twice rs pleas
ant as were the highest of my expectations
1T has paid hundred per cent. on its
promises, all round.
But our prospects for next year are much
beyond those of the past, speak OF the
School. With building whose rental value
IL $1,000 per annum aud only two years old,
FOR our Female Home School, have, this
day, commenced the erection of another,
on the lot aajoiiing it to the West, which
new building is to be finished by the end OF
September and will be worth $4,000. II
will contain Study Halls. Recitation Rooms,
n Calisthenie Hall and Sleeping Apartments
for male boarding pupils, Eall be two story
building with Tower extension on the
fron,.-and will be built according to the
beat suggestions of modern improvements
in building for Observation-Disclosures. When
the sash partitions of the rooms on the first
door are thrown open, we will have room
SO feet square as au "au6ltorlnm for
school entertainments.
This act of building, and the complete
Recommendations these two establishments
will secure for us, on "Home Avenue, will
fr your Westminster exile, presume. in
the Passaic Collegiate lnstituie. Indeed,
already our adherence to this new enterprise
has heroicaliy stood a severe test, in AN of
fetal call from the New Jersey STATE Nor
nal School 10 become the Principal of its
model school," backed by a salary which
Il ia not pleasant to contemplate al bel 6
given the go bye"
One modesily hopes these personal refer
ences lose their personality entirely, or at
least are entirely exensaOle, on the grounds
that we represent a public and universal
cause.
If. Messrs. Editors, you would care to
receive letter, not so personGL-yet local
from this part of the world from our
beautiful, rapidly growing, New York com.
nuni,y, letter for your good paper, will
be pleased to take an hour recreation from
severe labors, now and then, to speak to
your intelligent rea1ers-many Of whom are
my old aintances-through your col
umns. With very best wishes, yours very
truly, JoHS A. MuNRoE.
