Western Maryland College reap
pears in our columns this week solicit
ing the patronage of our people. This
College has established a reputation
in the AZ years of it's existence as a
safe, thorough and earnest school. Its
young people are doing it credit and
it's work has been felt all over the
State. From its recent catalogue it
appears to have 256 students and 81
teachers. 1t has graduated over 900.
The courses of study cover the usual
subjects in the best Colleges and we
have no reason to think they are not
well covered. We are interested es-
pecially in the course in Pedagogy
which is offered to graduates, by which
they are prepared to teach in the Pub
lie Schools and are given a certificate
to teach by the State Board of Educa-
tion without examination. We have
heard nothing but good reports Of this
Institution and we commend it to our
readers.
