turing establishment is in contempla
tion, to be started in Raleigh in the
near future. We learn further that
our esteemed friend and fellow oiti
sen, Mr. A. Dughi, is to be in charge
of operations. This ensures success,
because there is no gentleman in
North Carolina better qualified, in all
respects, and certainly there is none
pox deservedly popular.

A Few Suggestions.
The Visitor feels that it does not j
transcend the bounds of modesty in
claiming, that for the last dozen
years, or more, it has actively upheld
every scheme for the advancement of
our city, and did whatever it could to
promote the welfare of our people.
Deeply impressed with this conviction,
we do not hesitate, whenever occasion
may ffer, to throw out such sugges
tion as may seem to us plausible sub
ject, of course, to whatever modifica
tions and changes may appear best.
from those whose opinions are enti
tled to consideration. In this connec
tion, we are led to say a few words
relative to the site of the proposed
Baptist Female College, which, it is
now understood is to be located in
Raleigh.
It is hinted, or, we might say, it is
openly stated, that the site heretofore
selected for the Institution will not
be utilized as such. This decision has
been reached as we understand it,
from the fact, that, in many instances,
that might be mentioned, the place is
not J as eligible for the purpose as
others that could be selected. We are
candid enough to admit, that this is
an opinion which was shared in by us
from the first. In fact, the selection
for a site for a female college, almost
in the heart of the business centre of
a city, is, in our opinion, entirely in
appropriate. We may go f ui ther and
say, that such a course, would have a
damaging effect upon the discipline
of the school, causing at times serious
drawbacks to the st m' les of the pupils
It may not be out of place to call
attention to the fact that, as a rule,
oar seminaries of learning are located
out of the reach of the bustle and
business confusion of cities For In
stance, we can note the Female Col
lege at Greensboro, which is located
in a quiet, bat beautiful and access!
ble suburb. The Chowan Institute,
at Murfreesboro, is outside of the
channel of business. Our own St.
Mary's is far out on the Western
suburb of Raleigh, or, at least, it was.
at the time of its establishment
Peace Institute, too, at the time the
buildings were erected, was on our
Northern suburbs. There are other
seminaries of learning, for both sexes,
that might be mentioned in the same
connection We are not the ad vocate
of any special locality, but we must
think that a proper regard for the in
terest of the proposed college should
prompt the committee to select such
a site as would be most likely not
prove a drawback to the studies of
the inmates. We do not insist by any
means, that as a necessity, it should
be located beyond the corporate
limits, bat, we do hold that it should
be in such a locality, as would re
move it from undue intrusion, and
where a sufficient acreage could be
procured for the proper recreation of
the students. We cheerfully concede,
that the gentlemen to whom has been
entrusted the task of locating the
school, are men of discretion and
foresight. It is not amiss, however,
at times, to throw out ideas, which
I may perhaps escape the notice, even
of the most observant, and we there
fore hope, that what we have written,
may not appear as going beyond the
bounds of our duty. It is a matter in
which no person?! interest is at stake.
We desire as paramount, the welfare
of the institution only this, and
nothing more.
