Establishment of A PROPRIETARY COLLEGE IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA. ------------ONE of the principal foundations upon which the prosperity and the moral character of the new colony of South Australia was intended to be based, was a provision to secure the advan-tages and the blessings of good and liberal educa-tion for its youth. This object has been steadily kept in view by all true friends to the colony; and in addition to the operations of the South Austra-lian School Society, and the opportunities affor-ded by private seminaries, the establishment of a College sufficiently endowed to guarantee a first-rate education, not only for the children of Euro-pean parents settled in the colony, but for the children of the higher classes of residents in the East Indies, has been anxiously looked for-ward to. The subject has been actively taken up by the friends of the colony in England, and liberal as-sistance may with certainty be calculated upon from the mother country. The accomplishment of this object is of almost as great interest and importance to India as to this colony—the salu-brity of our climate, and our short distance from the Presidencies, presenting such obvious induce-ments for parents to send their children for educa-tion to this colony, in preference to sending them to England, assistance may consequently be fairly anticipated from the Italian public also. It rests with the colonists themselves to come forward and manifest their anxiety and determina-tion to accomplish an object so replete with honor and advantage to the colony—so conducive to its permanent moral exaltation—and in all probability destined to have an important influence on the future religious condition of this portion of the guise. A subscription has already commenced, passed by his Excellency the Governor, who takes j., . ii---.'< in:'r.-.{ i-i'lie :ni.|-i;.ikii:|^. Subscriptions will be received at the Bank of South Australia, and the Bank of Australasia, and it is to be hoped that the colonists at large will since promptly and energetically forward in sup-port of so noble and patriotic an object.
