By the McCormick System of Education, the reasoning powers are more expanded and better cultivated in five months than by the old system in five years.

The only required preparation for admission will bo good character, over nine years of age, and exemption from all illegal and base asso ciation, ami no students refused because of being graduates. An effort merely to please a people, being the first stop towards duplicity and fraud, duty alone will be the Polar Star taught; and no Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col lege.
