MR. EpI1uR;--ln company with many
others from town | had the pleasure of
attending the annual examination of Mr..
Henry Lcslic's school at Mount Zion on the
llth inst. The presence of u very large
and intelligent audience gave unmistaka-
BILE evidence of the deep interest which
the citizens Of that ncighborhood feel in
the subject of education, and Of their
high appreciation of the school under the
accomplished assistant Mrs. McDadc.
The examination of the scholars in their
respective branches of study seemed
thorough aud complete, and was alike
ereditable to their own diligence and at
tested the intelligent direction by which
their studies had been guided. We have
rarely attended school examination
which manifested more efficient training
on the part Of the teachers or more indus
try 90 the part of pupils.
The school is located in the midst of an
intelligent, moral community, which of
itself is Of no small advantage in the sue
ccssful education OF youth. The excellent
music discourscd by the band impaired a
pleasurrable variety to the examination,
and the snmpinons dinner furnished BY
the citizens of the vicinity with their
characteristic hbprality, served to fill up
the intcrmission between the scholastic
exercises and the address by Mr. Chappell.
Mr.. Chappcll's address was an ornate
and finished production, rcpletc with
rhetorical beauty and stirring allu-
sion TO our next great struggle and the
consequences flowing from it. He took
the ground very properly that the knowl.
edge derived from books though essential
constitutes only part of what is comprc.
hcndcd in true education as applied 10 the
practical affairs Of life.
The address reflected great credit on tho
speaker, and the audience showed Their
appreciation Of it by complimenting hin
during its delivery with their undivided
attention. The school, we learn, will
shortly open again under the direction o.
the same able teachers, and when the,
have another examination may we b.
there to see.
