Having completedthe first years work
in education with this school, it will not
be out of place to state few facts that
the year has brought to light. The at
tempts to found a school here of an aca-
demic grade was an experiment. Many
questions vital to the success of such an
institution were untr;ed. No such school
had been opened SO far south. The prob
lem has not been solved, but the solu-
ton has already proceeded far enough
to insure ultimate success. The number
of pupils has far exceeded our expecta-
tions. During the year there have been
56 different pupils in attendance. Some
of these have come only part of term,
others an entire term, and still Others
have attended the entire year.
The healthfulness Of the students has
been remarkable. OF the entire number,
but one, to my knowledge was COM
PEELED to leave on account of sickness.
When it is remembered that many of
these pupils had been in delicate health
at the North this fact is the more remark
able. The most robust scholars, were
those of DeLand and the immediate vic
unity. There is sufficient proof of the
healthfulness of the place. 1t has also
proven to be a location favorable to men
tai application. So much had been said
and accepted respecting the ener-
waiting influences of Southern climate
that | felt it might be needful to expect
less progress in study here than in the
North. am fully convinced the very
opposite is the case. A pupil can do
more work here in the same time than
in the North. The pure air, the bright
sunny sky, the mild and even tempera-
ture, and the absence of much that di-
verts the students attention in other
places, all combine to render this fa-
vorable situation for intellectual applica-
ton. While the academic year here will
be several weeks shorter than in many
Northern institutions, pupils will have
no difficulty in doing the same amount Of
work.
So much for the past. A word as t,
The next yeai viii open about th
middle of 0ctobelInext, when we expec
to have new and commodious building
ready for occupancy. Mr.. DeLand, un
der whose auspices the school has beer
opened proposes at an early day to have
the institution Incorporated and board
of trustees chosen to whose fostering
care the school will be committed. 1t is
to be public institution, for the benefit
OF the public, devoted to the interest OF
the great cause of christian education. 1t
is not now, morris it designed to be a
money making enterprise. The income
the past year above expenses would not
have supported one person. If our citi-
zens and those interested in the welfare
of our community gives to it the support
and sympathy which such an institution
deserves and must have, DeLand will be-
come great educational centre for this
State, and a place where hundreds OF
young men and women will come to es-
cape the rigor of Northern winters.

No Vegetables in Florida.

The following item is respectfully ded-
icated to Hon. Oscar Turner, of Ken
lucky: There have been shipped from
Orlando by express, up to Tuesday last,
four thousand and fourteen crates of
fresh vegetables. These have gone for
ward to Northern cities. A large num-
Der have also gone forward by freight,
but we have been unable to obtain the
precise number. We are told that the
express Office at Maitland has received
and forwarded about the same number.
These vegetables were not in tin cans,
and were not bought in the North and
shipped to Florida, but were grown in
Orange county, mostly in the lake Apop-
ka region, and were the product of Flor
da sand. Owing to the cold winter and
long continued drouth the vegetable
crop is several weeks late, and the sea-
son has but just commenced. Fifty
thousand crates will go out OF Orange
county this spring. VIII the Honorable
gentleman from Kentucky please inform
the world where these vegetables were
pronuced, since his declaration is on re-
cord that vegetables will not grow in
