High School young ladies, declaring
the fact (Which VIC actually believe /
that they beat the world in point OF
beauty, grace, intellectually, ANGEL
but we forbear. The boys are good I
looking, too; that is, they'll do to go
with an onion,n as sage observes. 1t
will not answer to be partial while
passing compliments on the scholars:
The days proceedings consisted OF
examinations in history and rhetoric,
with recitations, declamations and {
compositions. We were greatly
pleased to observe the thorough ac-
auaintance with the subject which all
of the scholars evinced under the close
questioning of DR.. Luckey and some
of the visitors. Especially did the
pupils acquit themselves finely in the |,
examination in rhetoric. Hardly
question passed without receiving It's
full, clear and concise answer
The exercises in the forenoon were: /
"Alaric the Visigoth,n recitation by |
Miss Chauvin; 1.-the Nobility of Labor"
and u defamation by Mr.. Hughes;
In the afternoon, a selection, 'Old
Letters" recited by Miss White;
"Sparching for Pearls,n a composition
bv Miss Milliken; "Our New Organ"
q recitation by Miss Stewart; Gamer
ica.n a defamation by Mr.. Nichols;
"Come and Think Il recitation by
Miss Edwards, and composition by
Miss Gates, entitled might We
regret that want of space forbids a
particular notice of the exercises, as
they were very creditable. The pro-
ficiency of the scholars in penmanshlp
Was shown by an album, in which
they had each copied prose selections
and scraps of poetry, during the hVe
weeks past. The whole forms book
of some two hundred pages, well filled,
and answers the double purpose offur--
nishing specimens of penmanshlp, and
| taste in selections, besides being me-
mento to be preserved by the teacher
long after his pupils have left the pre-
cincts of school and gone out into the
world.
Equal credit is due to DR.. Luckey,
and to the scholars for the success
which has been achieved. We have
never seen a better sympathy and ac-
cord existing between teacher and pu-
pills than that manifested in DR..
Luckey's school; and it speaks volumes
of praise for the management which
has brought about such favorable re-
suits.
