ed to notice 80 high a standard in the matter of
scholarship and department. 1t reflects credit
upon the members of the High School and the
families they represent. We are sorry to learn
from the Superintendent that visit from the
parents of the scholars is Of very rare occur
renee.
Frequent visiting OF the schools is of more
importance than parents are apt to think. 1t en-
courages the scholars and thus renders the efforts
of the teacher more efficient. And what is OF
more Importance it acquaints the parent with the
mana cement Of the school. This would prevent
much of the trouble often arising from accept
ing flying reports concerning the policy ofthis
or that teacher. We are informed that the
schools open again next Tuesday.

Concert at the Presby terian Church.
In our last issue we adverted to the improve
ments which are being made on our streets, and
throughout the village at large. 1t affords us
very much pleasure to record also the progress
manifested by the religious interests here.
The Presbyterian church has recently made
substantial additions and improvements to their
place Of worship, which from its attractive and
commodious characteristics are highly credta-
BILE. With these improvements of a material
character alone, they were not satisfied. The
house in which to worship was not with them the
primary object. 1t was the duties to be per-
formed in it, the perfection so far as possible Of
their formula of worship, to which aspirations
were had. In view of this, as singing consti-
tutes an important element Of christian worship,
and indeed of aim st every other form and sys'
J TEN of worship, Mr. TRoUr, the highly accom-
plished and competent Supsrinten leu. Of the
Perrysburg High School, has organized large
choir of singers, among whom are some whose
disciplined melody wsuld reflect credit on pro-
| fessonal artists. To give full force and ell
cheney to the efforts thus being made, it was de-
termined to procure one of Burdetts Chgrch Or
gans. at a cost Of SO. and also to give a grand
concert in erder to raise funds to pay for it.
On Wednesday evening the performance came
off, and we believe it the opinion of all pres
eut that it surpassed in skill and excelency any
former exhibition of the kind in Perrysburg.
Prof. HENsEL, of Toledo, presided at the Organ
and fully demonstrated its fine musical quail
ties. He also performed on the Piano, and de-
lighted, we may say yet more, he surprised tn
audience, by his extraordinary power and com
pass 10 handling that instrument.
The orchestral performance of the Misses
ROBERTSON and LINDSAY, in cooperation will
Messrs Hunt, RoBERrs and DOrGLAs, furnished
very fair display of amateur abhity and was
acceptably received by the audience.
The vocal performers were not a whit bohinl
heir associates. Under the skillful Leadership
ofMr TRouP, they sang in perfect harmony, an
d lsplayed great compass Of voice.
Mrs. DR.. SEWARD sang thres pieces with stmi
rable effect, displaying in the perform 'nce
thorough disc ipIined voice, of rare musical ca
pacity. As comparative stranger in our mi
t is pleasing to recognize the readiness will
which this accomplished lady identifies herse
with our social and religious associations, thu
difiusins, also acquiring friendly iaaue noes.
We trust the initial performances which W
/ now record will be followed by series of 9th
ers, and hope this community, and the Churc
e interest may be IN ,terialy blnsf:ei thereby.
