WASHINGTON

The closing exercises on last Thursday
were of a very satisfactory character. 1t
was thought best to hold them in the
College Building, but the want of room
compelled the school to go Ito the church
in the afternoon. Rev. w. b. Rankin
has leased the college for a number of
years. He opened school last fall, but
anticipated little more, the first year,
than on organization. The school, how>
ever, soon enrolled over one hundred
pupils. The FREQ school continued four
months. Mr.. Rankin, from the first,
intended to cooperate with the free school
system. Accordingly a graded school
was organized. Nrs. E. Il. johnson, a
popular and successful teacher, was en-
ployed to take charge of the primary
department. Her classes we're well drilled
aud gave evidence Of efficient work in the
school room. Her department at exams
nation made a coed showing, Good toach>
Ing tells
Mr. Rankin had the general oversight
Of the school aud taught the advanced
classes. He is an experienced teacher and
an able advocate of free schools. No one
anticipated such success as attended the
school. In fact preparations had not been
made to accommodate a large number of
pupils. The teachers were therefore
hard pressed most of the term. We
gather from these parts that the prospect
for the school is very fiattering.
The examinations of the classes we're
in~terspersed with declarations from the
boys, and recltations from the girls, sewers
al of the young ladies read compositions
and some two or three o~ratious were de-
livered by the young mon. Variety is
the spice of lie, and especially is this
true OF our examination. There was no
effort at show. Something solid and sub
%stantial ought to be the teachers motto.
This closed one of our leading schools.
The next session opens early in Septem,
Der.
AT night the young men had a debate
in the college. 1t was largely attended
and concluded in such a way as to reflect
much credit upon those engaged in it.

MARTINS CREEK ACADrmy.

The closing exercise Of this School
took place on last Thursday. The day
was spent in tie examination of classes.
We were particularly interested in the
examination. There was no effort at dis,
play, but everything indicated that sub.
stantial progress had been made. The
pups acquitted themselves just as we
would have expected, knowing the ability
of the teacher and his assistants. The
cllsses in Latin and the Higher Mathe-
mates deserve special mention. The
class also in Map Drawing should not
he forgotten. Those who witnessed this
exercise saw the advantages to be derived
from this method Of teaching Geography.
Wall Maps and Reading Charts adorned
the wall Of the school room. Ample
black board surface was at the command
Of the teacher. These helps are indis>
pensable to a teachers success. We
noticed n number of teachers from other
school present. We were pleased to
see this. 1t shows a disposition on the
part OF these teachers to inform them.
selves, and thus elevate the standard of
teaching in the public schools. The
evening exercises consisted of ESSAYS,
recitations, destinations aud o%rations.
Elder W, j. Pendletop, of johnson City,
opened the exercises with prayer. The
house was densely crowded, but the good
order that prevailed, and the strict at.
tention given to the exercises are the
best evidences of their being appreciated
and enjoyed. We we're particularly
struck with the orations. We feel that
it would be, seemingly invidious to in.
d~ividualize as the young men all made

Intelligence of the audience assembled to
witness the exercises, was the source Of
frequent remarks.
The audience was comfortably seated
IN a pleasant grove hard by the school
building. A stage ar ist;cally and beac.
tifu!ly arranged, had been prepared for
the occasion. The day was lovely and
the surroundings pleasant and comforts
bic. The exercises we're entertaining
and had a somewhat practical bearing.
As class, the dcclamatlons were good,
the compositions satisfactory, and most of
the recitations excellent. From obserya.
ton, We conclude that reoitations are
more appropriate for small girls than
compositions. We hope to see the teach.
ers introduce such exercises. Prof. Cox
has the proper idea of a school exhibi.

him and his excellent assistant upon the
success that has attended their efforts to
elevate the standard of teaching in their
school. We shall here add q word for

attention to study, for their success at
