The examinations evince that faithful
and illustrative teaching tends to impress
upon the pupils the importance OF the
work in which they are engaged, and fur
nishes instruction which, if properly ap-
preciated, will secure substantial educa-
ton. It is not our purpose to speak IN
particular of the several examinations.
Suffice it to say that they have been salts

eminently and pleasingly SO.
The musical exercises of the pupils as
presented at the concert and other pnb-
lie services have shown a thoroughness
and earnestness indicating the most care
full training. in this department on the
part of teachers, and ready acceptance on
the part of those taught, commencing it
to the favorable opinion of all who have

prominent features in which the institu-

The work of an educational institution

sought to be accomplished and proves
highly successful. The literary exercises
of the members of the graduating class
indicated an originality, breadth of
thought, high tone of sentiment, correct

to have been of thorough and compre-
hensive character which if rightly direct

American society demands in the women
of the present and coming age.
We most earnestly commend the phys

features of the institution.
The work being accomplished in this

spirit and those associated with him, in
our judgment. lead to broad and gener-
