it deserves it. For thirteen years
it has been under the control and
management of Prof Il. p. Summers
and his assistants, and they have
largely formed and developed the
intellect and department of our
daughters. Much credit is due to
him and them for the pains they
have taken with our children. We
feel sure that our citizens, with one
voice, will extend a heart felt ex-
preston of pleasure and gratitude
for the successful interest taken in
training the coming mothers of our
land not only in the knowledge OF
books and temporal intelligence, but
also i'm knowledge Ofall the Christ
ian virtues. 1t is a matter of regret
that we have not a better and more
suitable building for our female
school But we hope to see this
great want supplied or remedied be-
fore another commencement occa-
sion 1t certainly does not reflect
credit on the enterprise of our town
to see such an uninviting and incOn-
venient building used for SO prosper
Gus and deserving school.
The exercises of the little girls
Tuesday night must have been as
gratifying to the parents as they
were creditabIe to the children and
teachers They did exceeding well.
Came upon the rostrum unabashed,
spoke clear and distinct, and each
one was the recipient Of numerous
handsome bOquets.

We could here comment ad-

Excellent music was furnished by
Miss Lillian Browns music class
which was one ofthe most attractive
features. Miss Lillian certainly de-
serves the thanks and gratitude of |
US all. There was a large atten-
dance in spite of the inclemency of
the weather and we predict for the |
next term a much larger number of |
pupils. This school will open for
the 18th annual session on the first |
Of September, 1881 land we trust the
patrons of the school will show
their appreciation of Professors
Summers and Miller by sending
their children back again:

1t has been our highest degree of
pleasure to attend the closing exer-

institution of learning
coated in your midst, and under the
ficient supervision of Profs. Sum

continuing two days; and
We would love to 60 into details,
peaking in the most eulogistic and
terms of the accred-
liable manner in which the several
lasses of young ladies acquitted
themselves, but space forbids. We
yill but say that the examination
yas equal to the best we have ever
cen. 1t was. especially so in the
xercises of the little girls in read
~ and photography. The first
lass called was composed of twenty
tile girls in 4th reader. They
-ere given promiscuous lessons of
ne most difficult kind in prose and
oetry, but they render, as the pro- {
ucts of their excellent instruction, !
lch reading as would have done t
edit to the most learned. A Glitter
" treat" was the order of the day,
ld at night we assembled at the z
E. Church, South, to listen to i
le recitations of some thirty little t
'rls. These delivered their pieces e
and eloquently, and evinc- a

me day in the future, construct u
