The Religious Herald has always been,
60 nov and will continue TO be the stead
fast friend OF all our educational enter
pr.ses. We give much Of our space edi-
toriai and news. to the work Of fostering
and establishing our schools. We know
NJ nothing in all the UNCONVENTIONAL stu
alton more cheering and reassuring than
the prosperity OF our institutions OF learn
ing. This Is true with emphasis OF schools
for young women. Starting without en-
dovment or equipment. dependent always
largely and. in many Instances. wholly on
private effort. they have done and are do
Ing admirable work. and. we trust. are
sources Of profit TO their excellent pro-
prietors and managers. who have richly
deserved success.
One would suppose that the senior editor
OF the Herald (who has no sort of re-
sponsibilty for the sentiments here ex-
presscd) had long ago earned the right TO
DO free from any further active respon-

LITTLE TIME.
The time was very brief In which 10
make preparations for the session. but
the work was taken up with vigor and
the session is now proceeding under the
most favorable circumstances.
II is the purpose OF those interested TO
make the privileges Of this school avail
able TO many young ladies who are not
ablo to pay all OF their expenses, and TO
this end generous people. who wish 10
do good are invited 10 take scholarships
in the Institute. and thus provide tultlon
for struggling and aspiring girls. rms
purpose can be fully disclosed to our
readers by the following letter from

Tne circumstance mentlonc' "~ IN OBJ
iection-namely, that this school is logt-
ed in the same city as the University or
Virginia-seems TO me 70 be wholly IN It's
favor. Blackstone declares that the

vades the community I'm which the leading
University OF the South is located. the
