himself says in his circular as to the
men that have taught with him and
under him for years, and have success
fully conducted it In all its departments
OF instruction and management during
his absence, is simply true:: not
merely because it is the utterance of
Col. VIM. Binghanl-a man of the
Hottest character, and who, [ believe,
would rather die than falsify or euuivo-
cate-bnt because the character, at
taln]nents and experience of these men
i'll the past, demonstrate its truth.
MAJ. Robert bingham is a scholar and
Christian gentleman, and a teacher of
long experience he has been connected
with this school as teacher, with his
brother, for nearly the same length of
time. Indeed, | believe it is generally
known that the Biuyhun-teaclling in
the languages has been, for three or
four years back, mainly that of Robert
Bingham, owing TO the Colonel's feeble
and impaired health. 1t is the same
corps of teachers that have managed
the school so ably, so strongly
AID so successfully for years past.

gentlemen i'll this State. and further

what [ am doing, and fully endorse
these men, and commend heartily the

occur to them, as it did to me, that
possibly the ColOnel's circular might
lead some to think that his temporary
. or long continued absence would ma
terially impair or disorganize. in some
way, the Bingham School. As the pa
