NOTICES OF SCHOOLS.

Every year urgent requests are received
to give special rec concentrations to schools
which are advertised in this paper. While
wishing well to all, particular interest is felt
in behalf of some, especially those conducted
by valued friends. But where would COM
plance with these requests lead? If ex-
tended to one, the same must be given to all !;
which would be more than reasonable. 1t
has therefore been found best to treat all
alike. Under this view we call attention in
the editorial columns to all schools adver
tized in the paper, and those interested can
best investigate their merits for themselves.
1t is matter for thankfulness to know that
they are SO many and SO excellent.
