Perkins are assistants. All these gentle
men were present at the State Musical
Convention held at burlington last week,
Of which Prof. w. O. Perkins had the
direction to general acceptance.
This Music School has met with great
success, and deservedly SO, as supplying a
want long felt; that of preparing teach
ers and choir leaders who are competent
to instruct and direct. We are confident
that no one can attend this institution
one term without feeling fully compen-
stated for the loss of time and money.
