Ho far as we know, neither school is in any sense denominational. We know that the one we represent is not. Both enjoy a mixed patronage of Baptists, Methodist, Lutherans, Presbyterians Ac. In our faculty dif ferent denominations are represented. As a simple, matter of fact, our presiding officer, whose influence dominates the present school, has du ring his twenty years of professional life affiliated principally witli Baptists, Methodists and Presbyterians; hut he has always uncompromisingly re sisted the introduction of Hectarian- ism of every kind into the common country schools, and defended tho cause of popular education.
