THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

THE AUGUSTA FEMALE SEMINARY.
This educational institution of which
Miss M. J. Baldwin is Principal, is one OF
the largest in the South. 1t had about
two hundred pupils the past session, and
many applications for boarding pupils had
to be denied. 1t has had the usual nota-
BILE record which it has made for so
many years past; no sickness, no death.
1t has added to its curriculum another
very practical study, that of bookkeeping
which is taught by that master OF the art,
Prof J. II. Dunsmore of the Business Col
lege here. This is most valuable addl-
tion to the course Of study. In noticing
the commencement exercises we cannot
help specially naming the commencement
sermon and the address to the pupils. both
delivered by Rev. W. s. P. Bryan. Both
were intellectual works of a high stand
ard and were highly appreciated. The
humorous as well as practical remarks of
Mr.. H. st. Geo. Tucker in the delivery of
the prizes were model of such addresses.
The following is list of the distinctions
