our schools. AS good schools reflect
the enlightened spirit of any commu-
nifty, they are frequently considered
by immigrants the best possible indi-
cation by which to be guided in the
selection of their future homes. Rich
lands, fertile fields, golden orchards,
brisk business and balmy climate are
all of secondary Importance compared
with institutions of learning, in which
sons and daughters can receive that
education, accompanied with training
in "good morals and gentle manners"
which will make them useful men
and women. In this essential adjunct
of a well governed section, we are
proud to say that we can offer induce
ments to immigrants not excelled by
any of our sister counties. Here the
invigorating influence of liberal intel
lectual and moral training, combined
with the genial influence of our eli
mate, will conduce to the perfect de-
velopment of the intellectual and
physical man.
