Quoted. They are now justly esteemed as an

with the best schools anywhere. W. W. Rob-
ertson, Superintendent; John II. Bader, Prin.
cipal of the High School; W. b. DeBell, First
Assistant. and the teachers, have all worked
theoretically and efficiently. aud have faith
| fully discharged the duties of their respective
positions. The pupils. too. have done them
selves credit by their good department and the
progress they made in their studies. They
have studied well under the instruction
| of competent and faithful teachers, and the re-
suit is, they have made such progress in their
| studies as to reflect credit alike upon them
| selves and their instructors.
At IL o'clock last Friday. after singing by the
pupils, the exercises were opened with an ap.
propriate prayer by Rev. DR.. Mcfarland. Then

tions prizes and medals were awarded. There
