Two weeks ago Friday it was our
pleasure to examine the scholars of
the Montgomery Academy, taught by
Mr.. W. j. Calvit, principal, and Mrs.
Josie Raglan, assistant. The bright,
intelligent faces Of the pupils proved
to be true index to their proficiency
in learning, and we were surprised to
have them correctly answer questions
that would puzzle many an older
head. The framing of the answers
in language of their own gave evil
dence that they understood what
they were talking about, and it was
not parrot-like repetition memoir
lied and responded by rote, as is SO
common in many of our schools.
They do their teachers great credit.
Would that we had many such in the
