Philosophical Plan.


In this Seminary we have been led to adopt
class devoting their whole time and energies 10
single study, until completed. We have been
led 10 this by seeing so many students
disheartened, or rendered superficial, By being
required to carry forward three or four studies
at the same time. Then each Professor was re-
qulred 10 hear so many recltations and the time
was so broken up thai it was out of the question
10 give each subject and each pupil the required
attention In introducing thIs method, we ex-
pected 10 De able To MAKE our classes much more

plain this on the principle, that men show the
greatest results in given time, when they de-
vote their whole energies to one thing. II has
been claimed that students devoting their whole

The worst enemy of the rural newspa.

festualiy operates against an extension
of the circulation of a country newspa.

rates far below what a paper can be set
up and printed by a country Office, fore.

weekly,
The competition would not be serious,

price that-the country paper could be
s published for, but, without cost for com.

partment of the. country paper should
give it 8 circulation within the limits ol

The country press advertise for the

til they are brought prominently before
the people, and then they at once virtu-
