The latter gentleman has acted as prin-
cipal of the school, deYoting such time as
his engagements with other schools would
admit. Mainly, too, to e1is persistent eff
forts must be ascribed the existence and
endowment of this school. s.
i The work of immediate charge and in
struction has devolved principally upon
Miss Mary E. Dodge, graduate Of one Of
the oldesteormal institutions in the coun-
try, and 8 teacher Of long and successful
experience in public schools. The course
of studyis expected to occupy two years,
and the pupils are required to devote them
selves to teaching in the public schools of
the State for period net less than that
spent in the school. The exercises on yes
terday consisted in recitations, interspersed
with occasional songs by the school, to
change for few moments the current Of
seyerer thought, and showed very plainly
that it had been the attempt Of the teacher
to lay with the utmost care the foundations
of knowledge, and secure to the pupils en-
tire and conscious mastery OF. the subjects
treated rather than cover large amount OF
ground or glitter in here and there with a
brilliant generality.
Mr.. Asa Snyder, on behalf Of the board
of examiners, addressed the school, and
expressed great satisfaction OF the progress
made, and his high appreciation Of the dig
nifty, responsibility, and usefulness Of the
teachers calling and work.
Mr.. Washburne gave in few words his
tory Of the normal school movement IN
America, and congratulated all present on
the success and prospects OF the present
enterprise. ,iI5.
A pleasing and unexpected incident, neal
the close of the exercises, was the presenta:
tion on the part of the pupils Of o beauti
full and costly copy Of Shakespeare to Miss
Dodge. Miss Alexinc Pecor acted on behalf
of the school, and performed her part in ar
exceedingly pleasant and appropriate man.
ner.
We rejoice that this institution has re.
ceived from the city and other sources such
increase of funds as will enable it to i'm,
prove the accommodations and increase
largely the number Of pupils at the com
mencement Of the next annual session.
{" as Is the teacher, so IS the school, !" snt
too careful training and preparation, ane
too high character, cannot be required Of
those to whom is to be entrusted more thar
to any others, the future Of Virginia, the
"mother Of States" &. Z

You Did.
As children, when we used to play
Upon the beach in muslin frocks,
And formed a tangled disarray
Of soaking shoes and tattered socks;
When nurse was driven to complain,
And kind mamma SO gently child,
Begging ysu ne'er to err again,
lou said you wouldn't-but you did.
When Betty, whom you worked so hard,
And yet who loved you none the less,
Was prayed SO urgently to guard
a secret from your governess;
You recollect her puzzled look
Wi hing to do as she was bid
And voice of badly feigned rebuke,
Which vowed she wouldn't-but she did.
That garden party far the best
OF any have e'er enjoyed;f
We sat together, while the rest
(lare chance y were otherwise employed;
Though your mamma had talked for hours,
Aud venturcd firmly to forbid
A tete-a-iete among the flowers;
You said you wouldn't-Dut you did.
The things that happened meath the shade
OF clematis that clustered fair;
The things we looked and thought, and said,
And hoped, are neither here nor there.
know not 1t the day was fine,
Or meath the clouds the sun was hid;
krow to one request OF mine
You said you wou'dn't-but You did.
