last Friday. 1t has been conducted by
the Rev. S. T. Lane, principal, as.
sisted by Miss Jessie Williams, who
are wor ny of the highest praise. Mr..
Lane, Bs an educator, has few equals
and no superior. His brilliant mind,
rife with education, coupled with his
great utility to impart to others what
he himself knows, makes him perfect
teacher. He has at this place prepared
three young ladies for teaching, all OF
whom hold high grade certificates in
this and adjoining States, OF Miss
Williams we may eimply say that she
is young lady OF most brillisnt mind,
TO which is added all those beautiful
characteristics which tend to make a
perfect lady, Just such ss we need to
educate the mind and morals OF our
children. The school has had fifty
regular attendants, and has been con-
Quoted to the entire satisfaction of the
patrons. Putting two such educators
as Prof. Lane ana Miss Williams in
this school speaks very highly for our
board OF directors, and is the best
proof OF their ability, sincerity and
honesty OF purpose. Germantown
should have permanent school OF a
high order, and with two such teachers
II there is not such a school 1t will be
the fault OF the citizens OF the town
and the surrounding country.
