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.
