L imr, Wiih|Mi Oi Ci Jw hi M It is tkt lost giitifylog tbiog for « to obsom tbi tmly sioeiit iiittiist and lotbuslasi takio by tbs pupils and till piopli in tbi urkod success of the foBtwoitb miitary Academy. The school thoroughly deserves their confidence and esteei, for of all the military schools I have visited and inspected. 1 consider the spirit here txistiog supoiioi to that io any other. It is not ooly btoause this school is doing a great work for our gOTimeDt that it neets with lyconMBdatioo but it is ilso doing a splendid thing for thiss boys and their paiints. If I fan a father, I should not hesitate to send ey boy to a lilitary school lith such a corps of instructors. So far as oty experience goes. 1 luiov of nothing that tends to such character building as a good school conducted on anilitarybasls. Self-reliance, suboiissionr forbearance, and fortitude are all cultifatsd by lilitary discipline, to say nothing of the physical benefits which are deziiid ftoi the necessity of subjicting oni ' s self to rules and regulations prescribing a regular existence . Both the aiiod and the physique are cultivated equally, and neither suffers at the expense of the other. I shall take nich pleasure in coiiending your institution to parinti who hi?i boys to idueiti.
