which makes the man." Instruction in litera- 

 ture or science bestowed on slothful, sicklj',eften]i- 

 nate students, is like pouring water into a broken 

 cistern. Physical education is as indispensable to 

 mental culture, as seed and tillage to agriculture. 

 Instructors who do not unite those indispensablcs, 

 or at least see that their pupils are qualified by ex- 

 orcise for study, are hut little better employed 

 than were the mytliological sisters, doomed to |icr- 

 lietiial and fruitless toil iu filling bottomless tubs 

 with -water. 



A friend informs that "the Society will be en- 

 abled to make a liberal appropriation in aid of the 

 School, and continue to ofter the usual premiums 

 without lessening their invested funds." 



" The Cattle Show will be held at Pawtucket 

 on the 25th Sep. next, and about six hundred dol- 

 lars are offered in Premiums." 



"The Principal, Asa Drury, (of Worcester 

 County) stands very high in Providence as an In- 

 structor ; and besides has labored till he was 21 

 years old on a farm. The mechanical department 

 will be superintended by the Rev. Job Manches- 

 ter, a practical mechanic; and your friend, Mr. 

 Fessenden, will assist in the Horticultural and 

 Agricultural departments." ^^
