This class, eighty-two in number, expressing a desire to be taught, appeal to our sympathies for immediate aid. We may j well reiterate the inquiry, suggested by a seal- j Sous friend of this cause, when looking at the destitution in this comparatively favored city; “if the women of New England tmuld raise fifty , thousand dollars to complete Bunker Hill Mon-| ument, a memento of battles and blood, cannot the women of Ohio raise five thousand dollars for the benefit of those immortal minds, that the wheel of slavery has crushed to the i earth?” We leave the solution of this practical question, without comment, to those who ; l»ave hearts to feel, and hand* to labor for the j neglected.The Cincinnati High Hehool, still under the care of the Rev, II.
