REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL.
'sWith the close of the session of 1875
Of Staunton Female Seminary, termi-
mates the 18th year Of the existence Of this
Institution of learning, and the 3rd under
the present management. The session
whose term now expires has been perhaps
one Of the most suspicious in the history
of the Seminary. A larger number of
pupils in the various departments than
have ever hitherto been enrolled, have
been in attendance upon the instruction
of this city, while the other 81 are repre-
sentatives of eight different States. The
attendance is about 80 per cent, in ad
vance Of the session of 1884. A more
excellent class Of students it would
be, perhaps. difficult to assemble. Dill
gent in study. punctual IN the perform
ance of duty, harmonious amongst them
selves, and deferential to their teachers,
they faithfully discharged their obliga-
tions, and obtained the hearty appreciation
Of those under whose care they were
placed, and doubtless of Hin whose eye
is upon the sons and daughters of men,
behoIding the evil and the good.
The health of the school has never been
so good, as the physician declares.
God has in all respects graciously blessed
the institution. Into His hands we now
commit the work Of our hands, praying
his constant blessing on all pupils of this
institution in whatever calling they may
be directed.
