THE MEDICAL COLLEGE OF OHIO,

Is the best institution of the kind west of the Alleghanies. Its charter was originally procured by Dr. Daniel Drake on his sole application. Its funds, library, anatomical apparatus and buildings are respectable, and its number of students, one hundred or upwards.

CINCINNATI COLLEGE has languished, but is now rising, under an able board of trustees, and under the supervision of William H. McGuffey D. D., its worthy and talented president.

WOODWARD COLLEGE OF CINCINNATI.

The number of scholars in the Woodward college, is nearly two hundred. Its income from all sources amounts to four thousand two hundred and forty-eight dollars annually. In seven years, the funds of this institution will produce from six to eight thousand dollars annually. It originated in the enlightened benevolence of William Woodward, of Cincinnati.

His first grant of land for his endowment, was made on the 1st of November, 1826, to Samuel Lewis and Osmond Cogswell, perpetual Trustees. The site of the building was a subsequent donation by the same gentleman. It was first chartered as "The Woodward Free Grammar School." This title was afterwards changed into that of "The Woodward High School," and with the alteration of the name, there was also a change in the character of the institution. The course of study was raised in consequence of the establishment of common schools. These latter, while they supplied the place, filled by the former under its organization, as originally contemplated, seemed to call for an institution of a higher grade.

As a high school, its course of study has been gradually extended till it embraces every subject usually taught in our colleges, besides the modern languages and book keeping as parts of a mercantile education. In the winter of 1835-6, the trustees applied to the legislature for collegiate powers;

which were accordingly granted under the title of "The Woodward College of Cincinnati.” To this last step the board was induced by several considerations. The city had become so large as to require such an institution,—the Woodward high school was a college in almost every thing but the name, the public sentiment is decidedly in favor of diplomas; without the power of confering these, the advanced students would continue to leave this school for others having such privileges, and to name no more, those whose circumstances would not permit them to go elsewhere, would be deprived of the advantages of graduation. For these reasons, we now have established "The Woodward College of Cincinnati."

Trustees,

Samuel Lewis, Esquire, President; Osmond Cogswell, Esquire, Secretary; John P. Foote, Esquire; Oliver Lovell, Esquire; E. P. Langdon, Esquire.

Faculty,

Rev. B. P. Aydelott, M. D., President and Professor of moral and political philosophy; Joseph Ray, M. D., Professor of mathematics, natural philosophy, and chemistry; Mr. A. H. McGuffy, Tutor in languages; Rev. J. W. Hopkins, Principal of the preparatory department.

THE EYE INFIRMARY, under Dr. Drake, is a valuable institution.

The Roman catholic college, under the name of the АTHENAEUM, we presume is better endowed than any other literary or scientific institution in this state. We have no data, ex

*Mr. Lewis and Mr. Cogswell are trustees for life, with the power of appointing their successors with the same privileges; the other trustees are chosen, one each year, by the city council. In case of the failure of au appointment in either class of Trustees, it will thenceforward forever be made by the court of common pleas of Hamilton county.

cept what we see in and about its lofty and splendid edifices, from which to give our readers any idea of its present state. The society under whose entire control it now is,exerts a great influence in the city. And from the number of people in the city and vicinity under the charge of the "Society of Jesus" estimated variously from twelve to twenty thousand, two thousand children are probably here educated by this order.

SELECT SCHOOLS IN CINCINNATI.

These vary as to numbers, in different seasons of the year. We presume, though they may be fairly estimated at one hundred. In these schools is taught every branch of science and literature.

Among the female academies, that of the Messrs. Pickets, stands deservedly high. Mr. Carlo DeHaro teaches the Spanish, Italian and French languages.

Dr.

Mr. A. Kinmont excels in teaching all branches of the mathematics, and indeed, every branch of literature. Daniel Drake, teaches, with great success, botany and all the branches of natural history, as well as every thing else, which a physician or surgeon needs to learn. The same remarks equally apply to Landon C. Rives, M. D. brother of our late minister to France, from Virginia.

The teachers in this city, as a whole, are superior to those of any other city or town in the western states. They may be equaled, but certainly not surpassed by the teachers of any other city on this continent. Their manner of instruction can never be improved. Without any punishment, they acquire the unbounded confidence of the pupil, soon after it enters the school. The facility and clearness, with which these talented teachers convey instruction, are truly remarkable. And as one whole, these teachers deserve higher wages. Few of them do more than merely live well, without being able to lay up much, for sickness and old age. It should be otherwise.

PUBLIC COMMON SCHOOLS IN CINCINNATI IN 1837.

These are under the government of trustees and visitors. who are Peyton S. Symmes, President; George Graham, junior; Elam P. Langdon; James R. Baldridge; William Wood. These visitors examine and employ the teachers, carefully inspect the schools, adopt rules for their government, and finally, do every other act proper and necessary to be done, in execution of their high trust. Thus far they have acted wisely and efficiently in the management of these noble institutions.

The city council have a board of education, whose business it is to raise the funds wherewith to build school houses, pay the teachers, and keep the buildings in repair. They have erected ten large edifices, at an expense of about one hundred thousand dollars. This sum includes the cost of the lots on which these splendid buildings are erected. Each of these buildings is divided into four rooms thirty-six feet in breadth by thirty-eight feet in length, two in each story, besides the basement rooms. The building is two lofty stories in height, above the basement story. In these buildings forty schools are taught, by about eighty instructors. The number of schools for males and females is equal, in which, about two thousand five hundred children are instructed during the whole year, except two vacations of two weeks each. The wages of the teachers are seven hundred dollars annually, for principals, and three hundred, for assistant male teachers; and only two hundred and fifty dollars for female principals, and two hundred for assistant female teachers! All these sums are paid by the city, for the instruction of the children who have no parents, or those whose parents are poor.

So much we can say, for the benevolence, wisdom and charity of Cincinnati.

The instructors of these public schools are all well educated. The principals of the male schools, are graduates of eastern colleges, and the female teachers are educated in the best manner. The teachers in their department, are per
