[With much pleasure we give insertion to the above communication. The diffusion of sound learning and moral principles among the youthful class is essential in our native , jland, where instruction — both religious and scholastic, is easily attained ; in a colony like this, it is still more desirable, and every effort to such end is highly praiseworthy. — Ed.]
