...Globe.Last Saturday night Madame Janauschek appeared as Lady Macbeth, her greatest impersonation. With the exception of a few peculiarities of pronunciation, which soon escape notice as the play proceeds, her conception and delivery of the part was beyond all criticism, and the character was represented with a force and impressiveness rarely seen. The support was unusually weak for the Globe, but may be accounted for by Mr. Sheridan's illness and the consequent changing of parts.

The substance of this part of the Report has certainly been stated in an unfair manner by the writer in the Courant. The President, in a cursory way, cites specific cases of such schools in some of the Western States, but from the context it would at once be inferred that these were not all, while the writer would give the impression that those mentioned were the only ones. "The Report (page 12) suggests...
