On last Saturday evening, through the kind
ness of Dr. and Mrs. Hillman, we had the pleas
ure of making tour of inspection over and
through the grounds and buildings OF the Instr
tute Knowing beforehand how proverbial
thew were for system and discipline, we of
course expected to find everything as nice as a
new pin, but must acknowledge that We never
saw new pin looking nice as we found
everything there. Indeed it seemed as though
it was their sore aim to make the young ladies
entrusted to their care as comfortable and pleas
ant as they could possibly be either at home or
elsewhere. Whyl we could fill whole column
in only mentioning the many conveniences in
the school rooms, main buildings; yes, and from
one end of the place to the other they to be
found. And judging from the Doctors labora-
tory, library, and too, a number of ladies of our
hn hpir
the hands of DR.. Hillman, we can safely say
that the instruction received and given at the
Institute is thorough as is given at any school
in the State.
