Awarding of Prizes and Certificates.
The address of Rev. DIR. Hopkins,
which followed the conclusion of the
musical program, was earnest and
timely, and was in substance as fol-
lows
It would he pleasant, to compliment the
Young ladies and the teachers for the success
full results of their years work. But prnc-
tical object is in view that is to direct atten-
ton of the people CT Jefferson county to the
public advantages of this school. Hespoke of
the public benefits It offers as an educational
influence, and spoke of the great Importance
of female education. Men need educated
daughters, wives and sweethearts to refine and
elevate their thoughts and feelings. to bless
their homes, and to transmit the blessings of
refinement, virtue and religion to coming gen
erations.
This school after long delay and much diff
iculty is founded let MS hope it is only begin
ming to be what it is to become. Its patronage
has been too limited for one SO thorough and
of the most thorough female schools In the
land, and there is no need for the people of
this county to send off their daughters to for
eign schools to secure the most solid fonnda-
lions of q liberal education. Andif the patron
age of this county was concentrated upon this
Seminary it would expand its course and be-
come the greatest bencfactor of any public in-
stitution in the county -.---,s
Besides the educational advantages offered
this school is pecuniary blessing to the coun-
ty, and its general patronage would put thous.
ands of dollars in circulation at home and tend
thus to promote business prosperity. 1t is a
wonder that SO few business men have taken
stock in this school. Other business enterprises
must send out of the community money to pay
for material used in manufacture; but this one
sends out no money; it keeps it all Mt home to
build up home trade. And now as the school
itself is good one and striving to become
better and more influential one. let our business
men. furnish the means for making it a great
public benefactor by giving it their patronage
and support.
The Principal and teachers are thoroughly
competent. conscientious and faithful-worthy
of the largest confidence and support.
