STATE NORMAL ScmooL.-The Advcr-
tlsement Of the Castleton State Normal
School appears elsewhere in this issue, from
which it appears that no tuition will be
charged those pupils who complete the
course OF study and agree to teach in the
common schools of the state two years af-
ter graduating. This liberal offer ought to
induce many to compete for the advanta-
ges there to be obtained. We believe
MIR. Williams to be a thorugh teacher, Il
manager Of rare tact, and in every way
fitted to give the highest satisfaction to
those who place themselves under his
charge. The next term of this school
commences on the sth day of FEBRUARY,
proximo.
