Well, I regret to say it, in these normal schools there are no ideas communicated; instead of broadening, they have the contrary effect of narrowing one's views. The pupils are taught to read, write, and calculate arithmetical problems; they are instructed in religion, and, in fine, they are educated, or rather (for the word is not apt) are fashioned, like machines.
