Xenia College,

The catalogue enrolls 271 pupils and
gives evidence that the Institution is man
aged with care and vigor President Smith
talks thus to teachers: while teaching,
few make that self improvement which
they ought. This is greatly the result of
having no definite object in view, and a
lack of system and studious habits. We
suggest desirable object in the following
course of study given in the catalogue, and
our Normal classes, and Summer Normal
are especially adapted to awaken the am
bition of the teachers and aid them in
forming studious habits. System and in
dustry will enable teachers to master the
course and teach from six to nine months
every year. Being wide awake and grow
ing, they will be more efficient in the
school room.''
The Normal will begin July 9th. Ex-
perienced teachers can take advanced stud
les, and young teachers will find their
wants fully met.
