On Friday last, we, 10 company with
4 friend, made II visit TO the Bloomiugburg
Academy, where we found Professor
Gate and his accomplished Indy busy
among the various classes The school,
though small, numbering only about 81
students, is in II promising condition, The
Professor and assistants seem to be well
qualified and otherwise competent to con
duct school, such as the necessities ol
the County demand. In the examinations,
rectations, compositions, declamatious,
dc, the pupils gave convincing evidence
/ that they were under the instruction OF
careful aud throughly competent instruct
ors. We were pleased to learn that the
school IS attended by class Of students
whose department is highly prniseworLhy,
and whose MIN IS to avail themselves Of
the rare advantages to obtain all the edu
cation and instruction that eau be procured
in any of the academic institutions in the
State. From the observations we were
able to make, we feel confident that il stu
dents do not advance as rapidly and pro-
cure us thorough knowledge of the differ
ent branches usually taught in our acade-
mics, it will be the fault of the students
themselves, and not from any want of
nstt n ~ mn INlf ffTl "a
part of those who are conducting the
school Why, then, should we not have a
first class academy in our own County,?
One that we all shall feel proud to own as
a Fayette county institution.
Bloomingburg is a quiet, moral place.
The associations are good, ard there is but
little at that location to divert the atten-
tion of students from the great objects of
attending an institution of learning. The
place is among the most healthy in the
State, and is surrounded by wealthy and
highly cultivated rural district We were
pleased to notice that former deficiency
is to be supplied in few days. Hitherto
students have found it inconvenient to Oh
tain boarding places; for the accommoda-
tion of those who wish to avail themselves
of the educational advantages of this
school, large building is being prepared
for students boarding house, to be kept
by our tOwnsman, j. W. Wheaton, and hia
lady. who, we know, will make
their house pleasant home for the stu.
dents This is want the institution has
long felt the need of, and one that has been
a barrier to the success of the school
With all the advantages this Academy
now offers to the student at home, as it
were, why should our sons and daughters
be sent away from home to procure what
IAN be given them as well at an institution
n our own County, and at our own door
almost. An institution too, of which we
should feel proud, and in the success Of
which we are all interested? 1t ia cheaper,
md located where we can visit the school,
md where our sons and daughters can be
It home, if we choose to have it 80, every
and Sunday. Ought we not then
0 patronize a home institution?
