lMr Editor 1t was my privilege to at
tend the Christmas Exercise" Of the "Val-
lev Home School" which were conducted in
a manner that reflected great credit upon the
institution.
The exercises consisted of Rotations, col
loquies, and music, in all Of which the young
ladies gave evidence Of such course Of train
ing as to make us feel proud Of this instltu
ton here in our midst.
The Rotations. original and selected, were
Of very high literary merit, while the colo
quies, and music afforded an entertainment
highly enjoyed by the audience.
1t might seem invidious to particularze
where all was so we'll selected and so admi-
rably executed, yet cannot, folbear making
special mention of one or two which to my
mind possess rare merits ''Silvan Leaf, an
original paper by the members of the "Ia
Monte Literary Society, is one which | trust
will ere long be given to the reading public
in a substantial form 1t would constitute q
book suited to every class of readers.
1t is most gratifying to see so many insti
tutions of learning sprnging up in our i'm
poverished land, and to see them SO exten
sively patronized by our people. Though
our masters may Cypress US; may deny Us
representation and burden us with taxes, they
cannot prevent the cultlvatlng Of the minds
of our youth, and the tine will come wher
the intelligence of our people will elicit Their
admiration if it do not obliterate their hate
