FEMALE CoLLEeE.-We give place to the
lengthy proceedings of the College meeting
at Middleton, and invite the. readers at
tention to the report on the Importance and
feasibility of the project.


We shall venture to make suggestion
to the friends of this enterprise, upon which
four suggestion, not the enterprise we
confess we have not thought much, but
which appears TO US plausible enough to be
brought before the public, and to the consi-
deration of those interested. Ii is this
There is now, or once was, or is hereafter
to be, large sum of money in our State
Treasury, set apart for the founding and
endowing Seminary or University, exclu-
sively for the education of the male SEX
Now, a tithe of this sum, say S25, 900, ap-
propriated to purposes of female educa-
tion, with the private contributions which
may be certainly calculated upon, would
place an institution for Female Education
upon a permanent and prosperous basis
and we know of no loca0oa SO convenient
to all portions of the State-so healthy
and in all respects so well suited, as Mid
dleton. We have never been able to see
the patriotism and philanthropy of these
schemes of Speeding hundreds of thou
sands to build and endow Universities-al
most always as void of practical good, as
useless, as they are expensive-whileh hun
dreds of neighborhoods are destitute of tht
most ordinary means of instruction anC
we enter our protest against following the
example of several neghBSEing States, il
using the means of the whole people i
founding these expensive schools for tat
few, these hot-bed nurseries of the non
producers, while the great mass feel tn,
need of schools for acquiring even the ru
diments of common school education. w,
had rather see this s'Seminary fund" appli
ed to the establishment of good system o
Common Schools. But if to be applied Ia
it probably will be) to College purposes, w
urge that it would be in accordance witt
the enlightened spirit OF the age in whicI
we live, that portion should be set apar
for Female Education. We suggest tha
the effort be made TO obtain portion of thi
fund for the endowment Of the Femal
College at Middleton. The State might ap
point trustees to represent its interests, re
quired to make annual reports of the trans
actions, and of the application Of the mo
ney appropriated.


We might enlarge upon this suggestion
and upon the claims of the e better half G
creation" to share in the benefits of thi
fund, but we deem it unnecessary. If on
friends at Middleton think the chance c
success worth tile effort, we shall be pleas
ed at any time to grant them the use of ou
columns to urge the matter on the conside
ration of the public.
