to me, during our last meeting, to
note the interest taken in the in
structlon, and have observed the
fruits of that attention during the
past year, and / feel and know that
when we have finished our labOrs
at the end Of the week each of us
will return to his field improved in
mind and filed with laudable de-
termination to perform better ser
vice for patron and pupil.

full little city, open wide its gates

To explain the paradox: If the
mind is delicate and susceptible,
false impressions in education will
have bad effect in proportion to
that susceptibility, and. conse-
quently, may produce an evil
which a stupid and insensible ma
ture might have avoided. thank
