! Qualnted With every department OF
learning usually taught in our High
Schools and Colleges, having hap
Ply faculty of imparting to others his
own ideas and thoughts, and possess
ing with all rare sense of justice
and unusual executive ard disciplin-
ary abilities, il is not surprising that
he has the entire confidence of his
patrons and the love aud respect of
his pupils. Prof. Lowry, though a
much younger man, has had large
measure of experience as teacher.
and takes rank amongst the foremost
instructors of the country. lie is a
man of finished education. with a
clear. logical and analytical mind,
readily discriminating between So
phistry and truth-patient and per-
severing, earnest and self,sacrificing,
easily winning the love and conf
dence Of his pupils, and possessing
a truthfulness and conscientiousness
that enables him to retain their af-
lection and trust. Prof. Dillworth' s
knowledge of music is critical and
accurate, and his playing has that
rare power Of pleasing and fascinat-
ing which is only found in the per-
Torrance of master. Modest aud
retiring. he is only known by the re-
suits of his labors; alert, watchful,
and with his soul in his work, he, in
his quiet way, develops rapidly all
the talent his pupils possess. All
three of the gentlemen are earnest,
sincere christians, who carry their
religion quietly along with them
every day, and set before their pu-
pills, by their examples, the desira-
bleness of that religion which makes
its votaries earnest. truthful, patient.
humble, hopeful and forbearing.

rio; but we are sure none of those
who attended the commencement
exercises on the 18TH and 18th insts.
will do so, for they saw. as well rs
we, the evidence of the truth OF most
we have said. The examinations
showed that the teachers had earn
estly and zealously discharged their
duty to their pupils and patrons. anG
that the pupils had studlously and
profitably employed their time dur
ing the session. We have never wit
messed an examination that evidenc-
ed more actual proficiency, more real
advancement on the part of the pu-
pills; and we take pleasure in bear
ing our testimony to the fact.
But what shall we say as to the es-
says and concerts on Tuesday and
Wednesday nights We know other
towns have their schools and their
examinations, and they are proud of
them, too, and think, no doubt, many
times, that they can't be beat; and
we don't want to draw any invidious
comparisons, or stir up any little
iealousies, but this we will venture
to say, that we have heard but one
verdict upon the performances of
our own school. and that is-they
were most excellent.
Tuesday night the younger mem
bers of the school-"ye lyttle folkes"
read their essays, made recitations
and had their musical concert; and
it appeared to us that every face in
the Methodist Church, where the ex-
ercises were held, and which was
TANNED full of people, was radiant
with pleasure and approval. Really
we don't know how the affair could
have been improved upon. 1t was
wonderful to see and hear the musi-
cal performances Of some Of the aeee
little ones at the piano.
The concert and essays of the
young ladies on Wednesday night
could not easily have been excelled.
The essays evinced the most thor
ough training and discipline. They
abounded in first rate thought and
were adorned with splendid imagery.
The music was of high order, and
reflected credit upon both teacher
and pupils. The audience, however,
would not be satisfied without rep
etition OF some of the songs and |
choruses sung by the little folks the
night previous.
Altogether. il was most enjoya-
BILE affair, and one of which the GA
zETTE is proud. All honor to the
noble faculty and bright pupils of
Morristown Female High School.
Surely every resident of Morristown
IS interested in It's success. and all
should rejoice and lend helping
land to a higher point of prosperi-
y. The Institution, like the GA
