the college. The class acquitted them

mud their instructor
The Glars In ROblnson's advanced

thorough "A knowledge ofthis import
mt branch of education, hut all did 30
well that we could not discriminate,
and TO make individual mention would
he too lengthy for our space.
Rev. John h, Allen then proceeded
TO examine the Cicero class, and was
assisted by the Rev, Mr.. Baxter and
Professor Aldehaut Too much can.
not be said of the readiness with
which the class read and analysed the
complicated sentences of the great
Roman orator.
DIR. Allen examined n class in Liter
airy reader, and right handsomely did
the scholars exhibit their talent in
this branch of study, so essential both
to young ladies and gentleman.
We are glad to see that the faculty
of Dallas college recognize the impor-
ance and are producing readers that
are ornaments to our city.
Mrs. Allen, principal of the primary
department, examined two classes in
geography. The little folks stood a
fine examination, and showed an nc.
quaintance with the subject quite sur
prising in such young scholars.
The examination in RObinson's
Universal algebra closed the exercises.
The class was subjected to severe
and thorough examination on the gem
eral principals of algebra, and es
pecially on the last chapters of the
work. The entire class did well, and
won for themselves the golden opinion
of the audience.
The examinations and exhibit
IjoAs that have been given
at this college during the past
four days have been remarkably
successful, and show that Dallas
has now :. established a. college,
equal to any institution In the state.
We congratulate the worIhypresident,

crowned his arduOus labors.
