Abstract
IN the last number of your paper a correspondent, “W.,” asks for information respecting “any school adapted for young boys whose parents wish to give them an education embracing the physical sciences and modern languages, on some such plan as that of the Realschule of Germany.” Will you permit me to state that the International College at Spring Grove was established with precisely this object, and to a prospectus of this college, which I send you, I would direct the attention of your correspondent. The scheme of science instruction for this college was drawn up by Professors Huxley, Tyndall, and Williamson, and for upwards of four years past has been carried into operation as closely as circumstances permit.
