sR,-The views so iorcibly expressed
in the very timely and excellent article
on the local page Of Saturdays issue q
your paper touching HEducatiop fol
GlFls,'' must commend themselves IA
every intelligent and thoughtful reader,
We fear, however, that an erroneous
impression may be made upon the mind
Of the hasty reader, and uninteltional
injustice be done the Wheeling Female
College by q paragraph Of your article
which says; ut Is hardly possible, in a
city OF the size OF Wheeling, TO make the
greatest success Of q strictly sectaIian
school, It would be far better II all Pro-
iestant denominations would unite upon
such q work.
Now II Is well known 10 all who are
acquainted with the career Of Wheeling
Female College, that this school has
never been In any sense q sectariRp In.
stitution, Its Board OF Trustees has rep.
resenatiyes from the Episcopalian, Pres,
byterian, Methodist Episcopal, United
Presbyterian and Hebrew churches, and
all these denominations have at different
times been represented in the Faculty OF
Instruction, showing that the Trustees
have not sought to foster the special In
terests OF any church, but always to pro-
mote the cause OF Christian education,
The Faculties OF instruction have always
been composed Of representatives Of var
ious denominations, the present one
containing members OF the Presbyterian,
Eplscopallan, Disciples and Methodist
churches,
We feel justified in stating that the
Faculty engaged for the next school
