its excellent quarterly summary of the
articles published in the Annals Of

ents and friends of our institution pu-
pills who are interested in the methods
of their education but as that cannou
be, we are very glad to have the sub
stance of our papers communicated to
some of them in so satisfactory a man
ner.
