formerly engaged in school work
i'm Missouri. Mr.. McAllister drew
a forcible picture of the primitive
schools of our country; and by
a pleasing and strong antithesis,
he enabled lis all TO see the great
advancement that has been made
lin the educational world.
Mr.. McAllister held up in the
strong,light Of reason, the great
principle, that true education is
the education of the man, moral
ly and physically, as well as in
tellectually.

were with JUS; and we believe
that by their presence and the
sympathy which they expressed,
that they have given an impulse
to education which will cause
rapid progress in school work.
and raise the standard Of the
common schools.
The teacher, also, will have a
new conception of his relation to
society, and he will be drawn up
TO higher plain of action. The
! teacher needs the sympathy of
the directors as well as the SYM

sympathy is found the motive
power of his work.
On Friday, Prof. Coler, feeling

spired by the notwithstanding.
and In an earnest lecture, full of
deep sympathy for the teachers
with whom he has labOred so long

ness as departing friend. And
we believe that his words have
sunk into earnest hearts, from
which they will spring forth into
new methods, new resolves, and
renewed energy.
