The Examination Of the Female lnsll'u-

Presbyterian Church, At which Ne were
present The building, as hst@i on such
occasions, was crowded, with an ln'slli'
gent aud sprrvsiaiive audience, who lis
tened throughout to the speeches eomPO'
siilons and music offered on the occasion
We might PARTICIPANTS some Instances In
which We though, the students .howed
unusual proficiency, but when all did 80
well, II were perhaps ungenerous to do So
Suffice Il TO say, that the readiness aud
scholarship Of The children gave evidence
Of the thorough and correct trailing they
have had In the sehool,rOor. No one who
knows tie ability and experience Of the
aecoIfipliehed Professor and his ablt rs
sislanis, Mrs. Z. u. MASsoSi and Miss
ELIZA MAY, and the artistic talent Of the
Instructors OF Music, Mrs. II. L. HARDIN
and Mrs. j. d. KsRroor, would expect
anything less than proficiency in their
pupils.
We are promised a report Of the exami.
nation by one Who was present, for our
next issue, which NC shall take pleasure in
publishing.
just before the close Of the exercises, at
the request of the President and Board Of
directors of the Dallas Female College,
Mai. JYo. I. AuLr came forward and gave
the audience brief history Of the progress
that hhs been made towards the erection Of
that edifcc. lie gave fgurcs--what
amount had been subscribed, aud other
particulars, and appealed 10 the people of
this place and vicinity, to come forward
At once and take sufficient stock to thor
ohghly complete the building. lie stated
that several thousand dollars were still
needed TO enable the management to go
forward and complete the work. The as
ISOLATION is joint stock company, and
as the Major very pcrlinently remarked,
is not gift, but an Investment that Is al
ways woi tn what it costs, and really Dali
las should have town and county pride
sufficient to erect one respectable edihce
for educational purposes. We urge those
who are able TO 60 forward and subscribe.
The stock is $50 per sharei and books will
be found with the President, Capt. W. j.
CLARK, or any of the Directors. 1t 10 ex-
pecicd that the building will be ready for
occupancy by the lst Of September next,
when Professor SCALES will at once occu-
Ply it. We may close this brief notice by
stating that Texas, nor any other Southern
State does not possess an instructor of
youth of superior attainments, or more
thorough and practical experience in the
professions than Rev. W. II. SCALES. We
feel that this need of praise is due him
and gladly bcslow it.
The Examination Of the Dallas Male and
Female School, under charge of Professor
HANNA, has occupied the whole week, clos
ing by Exhibitions, on Thursday and last
nights. AS we have stalled above we'have
been able to be present but a short time ut
the Examinations, but what we did see,
only confirmed US in our belief of thu thor
uugl cotnpetency of the Professors his ac-
com tlished assistant, Mrs. Lou. CoUGIiA-
NoUR, and Music Teacher, Miss ELLEN |
SMlfH. No better corps of instructors
could be brought together in this or any
other State, and it is source Of regret
to their many aid appreciative patrons,
that this is the last session that will be
taught by both Mr.. HANNA and Mrs:
the former rettirhiiig TO his |
profession of the law, and the latter retir-
ing permanently from the school room
They will be sadly missed by both parents
and pupils.
We will not enter into any extended no.
tice of the Examination of the pupils of
this school this week, as we intend to have
a somewhat full report Of it for our next
issue. Wewill only say, that all showed
nptness, thorough training and proficiency
in the various branches in which they
wero examined. ..as-.
At the time Of ssritihg this, Thursday |
The Exhibitions have not come off. We
expect to be present and to be highly en-
tertdined. ig- ~.
