OUR ScHooLs.-Among the many ed
ucationsl institutions Of Memphis there
IS none which ranks higher and is enti-
tied to a more generous and select pa
tronage than that of Mrs. NJ. A. Pope,
st. Mary's school, Poplar street. To the
accomplishments and attachments of the
finished SCHOLAR, Mrs. Pope adds all the
grAces of the true Southern woman and
The refined matron, and 3 large and sue
cessful experience as q teacher. Her po-
etieal productions have the stamp Of
high genius and fervid feeling. Her
school deserves to rank with the first in
our county.
