On Friday Of last week the Trustees
OF Burr a Burton Seminary very un.
erpeetedly received the resignation Of
Principal Colburn. We learn that Mr..
Colburn has accepted the principalship
of the Bellows Free Academy at Fair
fax, VI, at a good salary. Mr.. Col
burn has been at the head Of the Semi.
nary five years and during that time
the number OF students has largely in
creased and the permanent endowment
fund has also been greatly increased so
that he leaves the school in much bet.
ter condition than il was when he came
here. Mr.. Colburn is good teacher
and has made many friends who wish
him success in his new field. Before
coming here be had always received
stated salary with no business cares at
tached, and the business part and man.
agement Of boarding school were not
10 his taste. We presume that il was
mostly for this reason that he made the
change.
On Monday the Seminary Trustees
were very fortunate in securing as the
coming principal of that institution
Prof. James Brooks. Mr.. Brooks was
educated at Harvard University and in
Germany and has had considerable ex-
perlence In teaching and comes highly
recommended. He taught for a time
in Connecticut, in the schools of Ban
gor, Me-, and for the past two years
has besn at the head of the Hampden
Academy, Maine, where in that time
he has doubled the attendance. He is
a man OF very pleasing address and
will be likely to win the respect and
confidence of the students and also be
an addition to Manchester social life.
The wife of Prof. Brooks is sister OF
Rev, Vincent Raw Of this village. She
has been thoroughly trained in vocal
and instrumental music. has fine voice
and will look after that part of the in
stltution. Under their management we
are confident that the patrons OF the
school will receive very superior advan-
tages. The Trustees have already made
many repairs and improvements on the
Seminary buildings and this work will
be continued as fast as the money for
that purpose is available.
