THE GULLIFORD CLASSES.
A Model School and Good Results
Annual Commencement June
FL, 1897.

The parents and friends who attended
Miss Gulliford's commencement x ercises
last Monday must have been we'll pleased
with the marked progress the pupils have
made during the term. The methods
adopted in these classes for fixing the
children's attention upon the study in
hand, without fatlguing the scholar, are
worthy of all praise. The bright intell-
geuce and always cheerful aspect of the
students show clearly that they thorough,
ly enjoy their school work, and are never
faded or wearied. The monthly gather
ings, for which they themselves arrange
the programs, ASSIST materially in foster
ing the self possession and freedom from
embarrassment, which was so marked a
feature of these exercises. That this
habit will stand them 10 good stead when
they go out into the world goes without
saying.
Every new seminary established in
Santa Fe is a distinct gain to the CITY,
and Miss Gulliford confded her belief to
the New MEXICAN interviewer, that the
proficiency shown by her pupils in the
brighter accomplishments as well as the
sterner studies needed for good work in the
world, evidences the worth of her system.
The exhibition of paintings and drawings
on the walls of the hall was pleasant
proof of the advantages to be obtained
from the thorough instruction of certi-
fcated South Kensington teacher; while
the excellent musical knowledge displayed
shows how the children have profted by
the constant and methodical course of
scientific technique.
The program numbers conspicuously
admired, were the two short dramatic
sketches, one in French by the senior
class, and the other from Sheridan's
Rivals by the intermediate class. The
junior class exhibition, presented by Miss
Amy Gulliford, was also greatly appre-
dated.
If it is added that the scholars are not ad-
vanced il grade until they are thoroughly
grounded in the foundation studies, one
probably strikes the keynote of Miss Gull
liford's success.
The following program was rendered
