KDUcAT1oSAL Acr.y11E.
The week has been 3 busy one in the educa-
tional institutions, both public and private The
most ipterestn: exercises. perhaps, were those
Of thp Hlgh School, Academic and Normal Do
partnnents, Thursday evening and yesterday
evening respectively. This school is doi,g
splendid WORK, and one can hardly express more
admiration for it than it deserves The Convent
School s also N institution Of great vaue. The
buildings arc probably the largest Of tho kind in
the Northwest They ara wonderfully extensive,
complete, aud beautiful. I never saw anything
approaching them in the perfection Of their ftt-
t1nGe and appointments. Looking from the en-
trance down any one Of the passages, the floors
OF which are polished and beautifully clean, with
side str1ps foot or go vide, and Walnscotng in
solid wainut, the end seems loet in the dim dis
tance. There are cfass-roomH each side of the
passages in ona wing, par1o1s and work-rooms in
another wing. and dormitories in another. Then
there sSe immense KITCHENS, lavato1ies, bakeries,
and so forth. school-rooms and halls, chapels,
and everything necessary to tho comfort and
happiness Of permanent community OF over
500 souls, and tfle daily accommodation Of as
many more. The Milwaukee Academy is an
other institution worthy Of notice. Prof. Mark
ham, ulanof extensive reputation in the educa-
tionai world, is tho Principal The Academy has
eart,ed wide celebrity for the thorough Aud
complete character OF the education taught and
the general Success that has characterized it's
career The Female College is smother scaool OF
rcpute. principally derived. l believe, from the
late Of Vzssar College. When the Professor
came here. q great effort was made to repair aud
retis the College, aud add to it's accommodations
md fittings, and The result is Very extensive,
picturesque, and we'll arranged group OF baild-
ably furnished 1t is situated il charming resi-
dence neighborhood. and as cdacAtton and board

swell.
School exercises at tho Ward Schools (public>
largely attended, and have given great eatisfac-
ton: In this connection It Is only fair TO pay
tribute to the extraordinary activity OF Superin-
tendent MacAlister, and bis devotion to duty.
Taken altogether, the cause OF educstiou in this
city was never so hourishing rs it is now, ard
tho School Board to be credited With attempt
inf., to the best OF their power, to perform tbs
work iutEustcd to them economically and faith
fully.
