DELAWARE LEDGER.-I desire to cor
rect mistake in your last paper. You
say we have in Delaware a Conference
Academy" where young men are pre-
pared for the Ministry, and nothing else.
The Conference Academy is not a
theological school but prepares for col
lege or business life. 1t has also an aver
age attendance of 20 young ladies. 1t
also prepares young men and women for
public school work, and if you want to
know how well ask our principal Of the
public school as he was prepared there.
Yours in vindication of the truth,
