The school at Benton Seminary
opened Monday with an excellent
attendance, and very little differ
ence was noted in. respect from
the first term, which was taught in
connection with the public school,
and twas expected thatsome would
; drop out when the public school
] ended. A very small per cent
less than q score-dropped out, but
this number has nearly been made
t up already, by boarding students
t who have come in, and more will
e come in next week. The enroll
T. ment is nearing the 100 mark, and
2. the faculty has assurances that this
e number may be reached before the
/, end of the month, which is truly
a encouraging, and we are more than
t. gratifed with the present prospect
: for a school here second to none in
this section of the State.
l. The Huntingdon Republican an
o nounced last week that the school
IS at Holladay had closed for lack Of
Y. patronage, etc. This is a mistake,
le so we are reliably informed The
first term of school at the Holladay
n Independent Normal, which was
,, taught in connection with the pub
Is lie school, closed week before last,
h and Prof. G. M. Leslie, principal,
q resigned to engage in other pur-
suits. Profs. Mellon Tucker and
a Med. Neal were elected principals,
nf lf and the second term OF the school
~ opened last week. The Holladay
! Independent Normal has been a
- tower Of strength in educational
- work in this section for a number
~ of years, and its career of useful
ness will hardly be permitted to
~ languish for want Of support by
~ the thrifty and energetic citizens
ol of chat community.
