In another column will be found an adj
vertisement Of Howard High School, recit-
ing when the Fall Session commences,
terms, SC. The establishment of Central
College, at Fayette, does away with the
Male Department of Howard High School
and hencelorth it will be the recipient of
Female Pupils only-remaining under the
control of its founder, Rev. w. T. Lucky,
and his accomplished Lady. We append
an extract from the report of a committee
who were appointed TO attend the recent
examination Of the pupils:
The female department, under the gov
eminent Of Rev. VIM. T. Lucky and lady,
numbered the past year two hundred pupils.
and during the examination were divided
into five sections, viz: LIST. Primary, I'd.
Preparatory, Sd. Academic, 4th. Musical,
9th. Ornamental, The first section includ-
ing the smaller children of both sexes, un-
der the tuition of Miss Anderson. The
second section composed of more advanced
females, under the instruction of Miss Faux
ner. The third section OF most advanced
young ladies', under the immediate instruc-
ton of Rev. Bro. Lucky. The fourth sec.
ton, of music scholars, were laugh, by Miss
Benedict. The fifth section, embracing or
namental studies, under the care ,f Miss
Fillmore. The examination in each ofthese
divisions, embracing a wide range in read
ing, arithmetic, grammar, grammar Of com.
position, political grammar, algebra, moral
lessons, geology, Latin, trigonometry, bota-
ny, meteorology, philosophy, vocal and in.
strumental music on piano and nelodeon, J
and ornamental branches, were remarkably
rigid and thorough leaving the fact fixed
upon the audience and committee, that the
young ladies' Of Howard High School had
not been trained TO answer question here
and there, but evnced thorough acquain-
lance with any and every part of the ground
over which they passed SO triumphantly.-
Compositions on variety of subjects, in
terspersed with musical performances,
were read by the young ladies and listened
to by crowed audience with thrilling in
terest. One incident is fixed on my m emo.
ry: After retiring from the house of wor-
ship to my comfortable quarters in the verv
interesting and kind family of brother and
sister Lucky, in the large parlor attached
to the boarding house, the young ladies of
the institution being assembled, a suitable
piece of music was performed on the me.
lodecn; then arose sister Lucky and adj
dressed the young ladies in o very appropri-
ate, touching and eloquent manner, in re-
ference to the past, present and future. l
regret that any of this excellent address
should be lost, and hope il may vet be fur
nished for publication. It's touching senti-
ments, and dignified manner of delivery,
told on many youthful heart as evinced
by flowing tears. Three young ladies
graduated with the highest honors, one of
whom, selected by the other graduates, de-
livered feeling and appropriate address to
a delighted audience. The worthy princi.
pal, Rev. Bro. Lucky. in the close, deliv
cred in his happy style, an address, in which
he met fully the most sanguine expecta.
tons Of all present, 1t was the right kind
of address, and properly delivered. The
last day, Rev. w. G. Caples addressed the
audience in his usual happy, successful
style, occasionally affording the crowd an
opportunity TO indulge in hearty laugh.
In conclusion, remark or two may not
be amiss.
lst. Fayette, the seat Of the institution
is remarkable for good health: tested by
the fact that, during the past thirteen years
the school has not suspended its operations
one day on account of sickness of any kind.
I'd. While there we had good opportu-
nifty to learn that the government was strict
ly paternal in its character, and though
strict,-as it should be-yet persuasive and
3. We do not hesitate to say, that, while
the morals and associations of the young la.
dies are strictly guarded, there is no secta-
rian bias-no effort made to estrauge any
from the Church or religious preferences Of
their parents at home-as is sometimes the
case in schools of the present day.
4th. We do not scruple to say to all con-
cerned: You need not hesitate moment to
commit the education OF your children to
the worthy principals of Howard High
School. Respectfully,
N. G. Bergman, Chairman.
