AUTOBIOGRAPHY. 121 



HAVING attended Prof. O. S. Pratt's lectures to his class, 

 and also having seen the practical application of his system 

 as given by him every afternoon and evening at his academy, 

 and believing it to be far the best ever seen in this State, so 

 clear and practical that the merest novice can understand 

 and use it, and yet so comprehensive that the most skillful 

 horseman can be instructed by it, we deem it of the utmost 

 importance that all persons owning, using, or at all interested 

 in horses, should avail themselves of Prof. Pratt's knowl- 

 edge on that subject. He educates the man to educate the 

 horse, the only practical method to be of permanent benefit.
