to the best High School of the country,
Several classes were examined in Latin and
Greek, and the facility with which they
rendered English ino these languages, and
vicorerSa, on the black board was mat
ter of much establishment. The exercises
in Rhetoric, Astronomy and other bran
cbes were all very interesting and excellent,
showing that the teaching at the Dallas
Female Institute is of the very best order
On Thursday night, large company
assembled at the new College building,
and were entertained with compositions
and speeches from the younger pupils,
interluded with music on the Piano, ex-
cecdingly well executed. On Friday night
the older pupils read essays, and compost
tons, both in English and Latin, and
made speeches in both. Two little girls
gave a rendering of Jeplha's Daughter,
the one in Greek, the other in Latin, with
very happy effect.
But we have not space for further par
ticulars. Suffice to say, that the whole
proceedings by day and night were of the
most pleasing and satisfactory character,
rejecting great honor on ALL teachers and
pupils.
We are glad to announce that all the
arrangements are made, or being made,
for paying off the membranes on the
new College building, and that it will be
shortly completed and put in the best order,
and that the next session of this very popu-
lar School will open there under the most
favorable auspices.
