We are glad to know that this valuable
institution is attracting greater and a
wider spread interest each year. Our
people were prompt to recognize Mrs.
Williams ability and peculiar fitness foT
the position, and with more has the school
met with warmer appreciation than the
clergy. Bishops Randolph and White
endorse it strongly, while our resident
ministers. such as Revs. Bushong, OF the
Lutheran, Kline, of the Reformed, Ball o.
the Methodist, Epes, of the Presbyterian
churches, were among its supporters am
patrons. Probably no one valued more
highly the good work of this school o
felt deeper interest in it, than the forme
rector of the Episcopal church here, tn
late sincerely mourned Rev. Jas. W
Shields. Those having daughters to edu
cate can 90 no better than to place then
. in the firm. careful but kindly charge o
Mrs. Gen'l J. II. Williams, principal Q
the Shenandoah Institute.
