REPORT OF THE EXAMINING COMMITTEE
APPOINTED BY THE CORPORATION.

REPORT OF THE EXAMINING COMMITTEE
APPOINTED BY THE CORPORATION.
The annual examination exercises of
this time honored institution of learning
were held the gath, 25th, Goth and 27th
of June, and proved an occasion of spe-
cial interest and profit to all.
The academic year has been marked
by health and prosperity. Each year,
under it's present efficient management,
has been increasingly successful, both in
numbers and in the thoroughness of its
instruction. Examinations were had in
the studies pursued during the year, en-
bracing great range Arithmetic, Geo
graphy, Grammar, Rhetoric, Botany,
Physiology, Latin, Greek, French, Paley's
Natural Theology, Guizots History of
Civilization, Wayland's Moral Science,
ETC., etc.
In all these studies the pupils showed
they had received efficient instruction
and had made commendable progress.
The examinations in the higher
branches were mostly conducted by
written questions, and evinced much
study and thought on the part of the
pupils. 1t is very rare that so exhaustive
examinations are so well sustained. One
thing was clear, the standard of scholar
ship is high and the daily drill thorough
in order to reach so lofty standard on
examination day.
Several things impressed us as worthy
of note, viz.
1. The method of putting questions
on the part of the teachers-so putting
them as to throw the scholar entirely
upon his knowledge of the text book
and draw out of him the utmost Of in
formation.
2. Teaching the scholar to think out
side his text book and for practical
ends.
3. The spirit of the teacher was man
ifest in the enthusiasm of the scholar :
the teaching and learning are both spirit
ed, hence profitable.
The display of fine paintings adorn-
ing the chapel walls were unusually fine
The vocal music at the concert was
excellent, the selection and performance
showing good judgment, taste land skill,
and the instrumental pieces were admit
rably performed.
The graduating exercises were more
than usually succnssful, both in compo-
sition and delivery.
The home like character of the whole
school, the free mingling of teacher and
pupil; the chapel exercises in which
all took part with pleasure is each de-
serving of special notice
Castleton Seminary is worthy of
larger patronage. Persons who send
their children here to be educated NAV
be assured of the careful and vigilant
oversight of its worthy and experienced
Principal; of faithful teachers in all the
branches of instruction and of whole
some moral and religious influence.
Most cordially do we commend the
Castleton Seminary to the confidence
and patronage of the people.

Built years ago, large, quaint and square,
Things old-fashlOned everywhere:
Grandmother's house, were you ever there
In quest of a place on summers day..
When they went to build, did they los
their way
And among the buttercups go astray?
Lose their way, and say to each,.
Well place it here by the rocky Deacn,
Just from the waters out of reach
And so they buiItsit; large and square,
Cosey corners here and there.
Old-faShiOned wonders everywhere.
Unlool1nd-for hooks on every side,
Queer old places where one might hide.
Grandmother's house, our childish pride.
Old-fashioned dishes, fit for elves,
Slowed away on closet shelves,
Unmatched platters by themselves
Curious China, quaint and old,
Thirteen stars in blue and gold
Two gilt doves in circle hold.
All alone there stands plate,
On topmost shelf, without mate,
Relic of an ancient date.
Oft have [ turned from dainties spread,
Forgot my slice of wheaton bread.
To con that pictured plate instead.
It's fuIl-rigged ships of deepest blue,
The seas unruff1ed, sailing through,
Toward a distant landscape view.
FLYING penna9ts at masthead each,
Ships that sail, but never reach
The blush pebbles on the beach.
In its red case. standing tall,
Ticks the clock against the wall,
It's benediction on us all.
On braided mat in cosy chair,
The glory of the house is there,
Times gathered snow upon her hair.
The story of her life is told,
she's drifting away in the mist and gold
Of life beyond that never grows old.
Drifting away, and out of sight,
Into the glory of greater light,
Into day that has no night,
And in all the world there never will be,
A house, old-fashioned, like this for me,
Among the daises down by the sea.

that too with proper effect, was simply
perfect. No critical analysis is neces-
sary. When we say that every one ac-
Quilted themselves perfectly, in COM
plete harmony, in order, and according
to the most approved taste, we have SAID
all that can be said. 1t was c.usic, pure,
simple unadulterated music. TO Mr..
Mietzke, as the teacher and organizer,b De
ascribed the first credit. 1t was truly
nroud evening for him. And to the
children, also, who demonstrated the
benefits of Emusic in the schools, about
which we have heard so much, is due
the praise and applause which was SO
Justly and repeatedly bestowed upon
them. They too were happy and proud
proud of themselves, as they had
perfect right to be, and proud of the oc-
casion and their teacher.
The instrumental music, as we have
said. was furnished by Doring's Band.
OF them it is enough to say that they
sustained their previous well earned
reputation. They were well received
and frequently rapturously applauded
and encored.
1t would be invidious, and positively
unjust, to particularize any part of the
entertainment, and we must, therefore,
content ourselves with saying that the
Festival was carried out, in every re-
spect according to the following

The assemblages which continue to fill
steinways smaller hall and part Of the larger at the
Saturday matinees of Messrs. Mills and Sarasate, show
how firm hold this species Of concert has gained In the
appreciation Of small but cultivated class among
our lovers Of music. Good chamber concerts OF this
kind are effective agencies Of musical culture.
They lack the social glitter and scenic splendor
Of the opera, the personal interest OF the
choral societies, or the imposing majesty OF
orchestral execution The prime and only business Of
the occasion is music pure and simple in its finest ex
precision, and most appreciatve Interpretation. Freed

lIs initial performance tonight. viii send
yO7 description of the piece next week.
At the Union Square Theatre Mrs. James
A. Oates commences the third week of a
very successful summer season, and at the
Twenty-third Street Opera House the two
weeks season of English opera ended on
Saturday evening.
The venture was successful one we are
glad to record, and it is possible that Eng
lish opera will be established here on a
permanent basis next year. Mr.. John
HOwsOn, formerly of tie Varieties, New
Orleans, was engaged to play Senior Baltta-
zGr in the opera of the Doctor of Alcan-
tara" during the last week, and proved
himself to be an excellent addition to the
forces Of the company, making quite a hit
in the part. Miss Emma HOwson, the
prima donna, has won a host of admirers
during the short season, and will, doubt
less, be the principal soprano next year.
Theodore Thomas concerts are as popu-
lar as ever, the garden being thronged
every night. At Booths Theatre Mr..
Edwin Adams is still playing l'Enoch Ar
den,V but not to very large houses. 1t will
probably be withdrawn with the current
week.
The city is full of artists endeavoring to
make arrangements for next season, and
all the theatrical agencies are very busy.
Next week shall endeavor to give you an
of the great jubilee at Boston.
