students names are enrolled on the books
of the seminary and normal school, the
pupils are further advanced in their
studies than those even Of last year, and
ten of the young men have entered the
seminary with the view Of preparing for
college. The new term promises to be a
successful one the board of instructors
are able and competent, and, under the
guidance of Mr.. and Mrs. Williams, will
accomplish a good work intellectually,
morally and socially. About the same
number of scholars may be found in the
village district schools, taught by Misses
Heath and Taft, who are regarded as in
structors of marked ability in the depart
ment of Common school education, which,
to ali intent and purpose, is the founda-
