In the late war he was as distinguished
as he had been in the councils of the
nation, and endesred himself to the
people of the South, and especially to
Kentuckians, by whom he was regarded
as the peer of Henry Clay. OF late

Theory Of Teaching, ranging from thirteen to
forty eight questions, on the several subjects un

expense Of compiling this catalogue Of questions,

for teachers 10 particular. which II studied By
teacher aud pupil, will enable each to improve in
their respective csllings and add harmony to the
system, which Is certainly desirable. Because, if
you is to 'nsti this principle in the boy or girl
II Is doubtful whether the man or woman will
practice It In mature age, and therefore practice
eoLfusion for lifetime. We arc all creatures Of
education, and We should be very careful what

be accomplished against the asmer, and the ut.
iuost that could be done was to tave the mill, which
