TIE FACULTY.
The faculty, all of whom evidently
take deep interest in their duties,
and have an abiding faith in the
grand mission of the institution as a
means OF successfully extending the
highest advantages of education to
the colored people of the, state are;
Rev. w. E. Brooks, A. NJ, president;
assisted by Profs. w. L: Gordon, s.
II. Dean, Mrs. w. E. Brooks, and
Misses Adelia Hunt, r. A. Smith,
Anna d. Newman and M. e. Ca
rey, (matron).
There were 1T students in attend
ance during the session just closed
About $1,000 were received during
the year in donations from friends of
the institution. 1t is named Tillotson
institute in honor of Rev. George j,
Tillotson, of Connecticut, who contri-
buted largely to its founding. and is
conducted under the auspices of the
American Missionary association
represented here by Rev. E. B. Wright
of this city.
The location is fine and even pictur.
esque, overlooking a beautiful VALLEY
from high knoll, on which the ele'
giant school building stands. The &C
commodations for boarding, as well as
teaching students, are excellent. The
school is made a home for those who
attend. Not only their intellectual
but also their social, moral and relig
ious culture will receive careful at
tention.
REVIEW.
Space will not permit genera
review of the programme, but there
were some exercises that deserve eS
pecial attention; of the number, "In
dian Legends" by Mrs. Womaek, "Tht
Courtin'," by Ruthie Kirkendall
"Poor Old joe" a quartette, by Messrs
Brinkley, Clark. Kelley and Taylor
"The Cur tain," by Lizzie Monroe, an(
last, but not least, a recitation that, 81
far as voice, and apparent feeling wa!
concerned, was truly eXclellent-"Tht
Last Hymn" by Fannie Washington
Fred Chase acquitted himself nobly
in an original sketch, entitled: "Tht
Whites Our Friends" 1t is a pity
that it cannot appear in print in full
The same might truthfully be said o.
by A. S. Terrell. "The Old and the
John Hunt. Money Matters" Duet
by Georgia Ballinger and VIM. Smith
was rendered in excellent style. Mis-:
Ballinger has most charming voice
and is perfectly natural in her acting
The painter of Seville was well de
livered by Clara Scull. More can moi
be said without having to come
squarely to criticisms, which space
forbids. In this connection, however
it may be said that as general rule
the voices were good. None were
really bad, but some would stand
training in the matter of expression
which can not well be attained with
out a thorough course, not only in
analysis, but also in gestures, the lat.
ter, of which, seems to have been en-
tirely neglected.
OF the teachers, we can say but little
except to refer to their success, for they
are not known to the STATESMAN
But as to Prof. Brooks, the truth is
but half told when it is said that his
work has been well and nobly done.
His remarks complimentary to Gov.
Pease prove him to be man of more
than ordinary feeling, and no one
could have heard him in these without
feeling that the tongue that coald
voice such sentiments was backed
by real earnestness.
There was quite an attendance of
the ladies and. gentlemen of Austin
during the exercises.
ADDRESSES.
During the two days exercises, very
interesting addresses were delivered
hY Governor Ireland, Hon. A.
T. Woodbridge, Hon. B. M. Baker,
Judges Fillmore and Delany,
Hon. E. T. Moore and Rev. E. B.
Wright. Gov. Ireland, in the course
of his remarks, alluded to the original
addresses of Fred Chase and a. S.
Terrell, in complimentary terms, as
being expressive of the proper spirit
which should animate the colored peo-
pie of the country.
Altogether the TillotSon Institute
Is pronounced success In the work
of educating the colored race, and as
such, THE STATESMAN wishes 1t God
speed.
