c, in the seminary-school, boys and girls. 100 The number of teachers in this institution is five, namely the director of the seminary and four others.

In the last eight years, or since the complete organization of the seminaries in Prussia, 87 seminarists have been educated in this institution :

Since the beginning of this year government has ordered that six seminarists who are poor but industrious shall receive a monthly allowance of two dollars (six shillings).

Of this number some were employed in town-schools, others in elementary schools in the country, and a few

as private teachers in families:
