Mr.. EDITOR: notice in your report Of

ISOLATION, the following: "Mr. Jones thought
that Normal Schools or departments, should
be established in every county" Mr.. BODICE
of Gorham said something of this sort, but l
was never guilty either of thinking or of say
ing anything likeit What did say was this
That the existing Normal Schools should be
more literally endowed and furnished with
everything necessary to make them the first
establishments Of their class, and the State
having been thus liberal, that there should be
preliminary school-a sort of fiery furnace
in connection with them, through which
every candidate for the profession must pass,
and if found fit for the work, educated at the
expense Of the State, if found unfit thrown
out The number OF failures in our schools
will probably never be accurately known till
1.-THE last great day" but one thing is quite
certain, there are ten failures where it is gen.
orally considered there is but one, and this is
owing to the fact that so many bunglers are
invited or rather allowed to hang to the skirts
Of the profession, and some of them to be ed
ucated at the public expense.
