GoDpARD SEMINARY COMMENCEMENT
EXERCISES Goddard Seminary, located
at Barre, VI, held its third annual Com
mencement exercises on Tuesday and
Wednesday the 9th and 10th inst. The
examination of the classes, Oh Tuesday,
evinced commendible diligence and pro-
ficiency on the part Of the scholars, and
great care and competency on the part Of
the principal and teachers. The classes
in Greek, Political Economy, and the
first classes in Latin were under the tut
tion of Mr.. burlington, the Principal.
Geology, Physical Geography, United
States History, under Mr.. Adams. Elo-
cution, Botany and French, under Miss
Byrant, the Preceptress. The higher
classes in Arithmetic, Algebra and Geom-
etry under Miss Ware, and the Ancient
History, Virgil, Cesar and Latin Reader
under Miss Ballou. Nor would we omit
the music classes under Messrs. Phillips
and Briggs. We think it would be hard
to find another school of twenty six class
that would undergo such rigid examin-
alton of committee and teachers, with the
promptness here exhibited without fail
ures. Especially, did We notice in Greek
and Latin that the history Of the object
matter was familiar to the students, and
in fact in all the classes, no pains had
been spared to master whatever, had been
undertaken. The order Of exercises of
the graduating class on Wednesday morn
ing was as follows; Prayer by Rev Mr.
Harmon.
