Of Mr.. Thomas II. Robinson, principal, and
Mr.. Benjamin Charles, assistant, and now

classes are accommodated in separate rooms,
which is quite a desideratsm, and much better
than crowding all in one room as is the case

useful branch ffemale education. The young

their various branches of education, and il

with them in the race for knowledge, they
will have to be up and go to work with renew
ed exertions. The worthy principal and her

praise which is justly due them, for the i'm
