If, as Is generally conceded, the So
cial, moral and Intellectual standing Of
a community Is best gagged by it's
churches and schools, ours will certain
tly rank with any community OF Its
size, and above many Of more preten-
sions, In the state. This week we have
been deyoting some time TO an exami-
nation OF the College.
The beautiful building on its COM
mandIng site, is well adapted In all re-
CARDS both In its exterior and interior
arrangements, for the purpose for
which it was designed and built. We
| first entered the Primary Department
| in charge of Miss Gerhardt. Wefound
81 very little folks ut work, rome be-
yond the First Reader, but all full of
interest and rapidly progressing under
| their energetic teacher, who is thor
oughly qualified and avails herself Of
the latest and best methods Of instruc-
ton.
The Intermediates, in charge Of Miss
Keith had rs pupils present all in the
aud or 80 Readers, and studying also
Primary Geography and Arithmetic.
Miss Keith shows herself quite gem
eral, being able to manage this large
number without hurry or confusion.
The Grammar school in charge Of
Miss Croker was not so crowded, there
being but As pupils present, whose
studies embrace 4th Reader, Geography,
Practical Arithmetic. Grammar and
| Elementary History. Passing up stairs
we entered first the Academic Depart
ment, As present, with Miss Walk in
charge. The studies here include Rays
| Sd Part Arithmetic, Advanced Geogra-
ply, Swinton's Course, Greene's Gram
mar. Advanced History and Elemental
Try Algebra. 1t IL intended to add to
the course in this department Elemen-
tary Physics and Physiology. In the
Collegiate Department were % pupils,
with Rev. Mr.. Miner on the rostrum.
The studies in this department embrace
3 grades of Latin, University Arithme-
tic, German, University Algebra, Rhet-
oric, Elocution, Physics, Physical &C.
ography and Composition.
! There was but one other place to Wis
1t, the Library, where we found Prof.
Floyd, the Principal. 1t must not be
presumed however that we had not met
him before on our rounds, as he seemed
to be frequent In his Visits to all the
rooms, when not busy hearing recita-
lions In his own. From him we learn
ed that the enrolment WAS gradually
increasing, as was also the average at
tendance. The Principal has a pro-
gramme in operation which works well,
rs each teacher knows to minute the
time allowed for each recitation. All
pupils are required to read. write and
spell, no matter what their advance
meLt, or in what department.
AS to discipline, the method adopted
is kind but firm. We found the best Of
order prevailing, and the pupils assid-
uous in their work. Unity of purpose
and harmony Ia method characterize
the teachers, OF whom we have, we be-
lieve. q very creditable corps. We
would suggest that parents and others
interested visit the school; and to the
Board that they give attention to some
repairs now, to save greater trouble
and expense hereafter.
