The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1892-06-09

form the acqusints of all bis teach
ers. and a more interesting corps Of
instructors we have never found IN
any institution.
Miss Dora Rogers, OF West Va,
assisted by Miss Lizzie Hodges OF
Lemon county, has charge OF the
Literary Department.
Tue compositions, essays, and the
various other evidences Of proficiency
showed her eminent fitness for Der
work. We did not see how 1t could
be improved upon.
Miss NJ. T. NOEL, OF Virginia,
taught Stenosraphy, Typewritiug,
| and Bookkeeping. The thorough
ness of her work was seen in the
models of neatness in the specimen
work of book keeping by her classes.
Some members OF the class of '92
already have positions So steno-
graphers and book-keepers.
Miss NJ. A. Day, OF New York,
teaches Painting, Drawing Modelling,
Photography, and German. The
work in her studio shows for itself.
We have rarely seen finer portraits.
A number of her pupils had made
life-size portraits which would adorn
any studio In the country. The
drawing, painting and modelling is
all OF a high order and would do
credit to city studio. A friend told
US that when Rev. Thos. Dixon
and wife, of New York, visited the
seminary a year ago, Mrs. Dixon re-
marked that she had rarely seen
better work of art in New York city.
| Miss Minnie Dobson, of Tennes-
see, taught Instrumental Music. The
best testimonial IN her favor wac the
skill with which the young ladies
lperiormed. And the further fact
that there were seventy music pupils
last session shows the popularity OF
her department.
i Miss Clara Nj. PHILIPPE, of New
York, was teacher in the Vocal De
bartment. One only has to hear hei
own full, sweet voice to be convin ced
that Miss Phillips is highly gifted
by nature with the requisites that
meet all the requirements for hrst
class vocalist. The unusual voCa
, developments In girls so young a:
} many of her pupils, strongly ate tt
? the proficiency Of the work done II
this department. The vocal training
is really training in physical cul
, ture.
Miss Hodges, the assistant 10 th'
: Literary Department, is herself
graduate of the Kinsev Seminary anC
, takes her place In proficiency will
, the other teachers.
Too much could not be said fol
the ability and iaithfulness of th'
entire faculty.
