Miss Louise 81. Dennis was the only
colored graduate from the Public school
in West 18th street, New York City.
Notwithstanding the opposition from
prjudice on the part Of her tutors, she
persisted and received the highest hon.
ors at her graduation, although not al
lowed to take any part in the com.
mencement exercises. { he was among
the first to receive her diploma and was
literally applauded when she came for
ward. She will enter the High school
in September.

An Interesting experiment in the
training of colored people has beer
carried on in South Carolina on the
island of st. Helena, Here were to
be found after the war, perhaIs the
most superstitious and in some ways
the most degraded colored people IN
the Southern States. Heathen rites
were observed, sacrifices were made to
the heavenly bodies, and many of the
the people were accustomed to 60 with.
out clothing. Hardly girl of sixteen
years was to be found on the island
without children. There went to this
place in 1862 two Northern ladies. Miss
Towne and Miss Murray, who estab.
llshed school there. When the lands
were sold for taxes after the war, they
encouraged the colored people to buy
The result is that today almost every
colored family on the island has home
and land OF its own, and no Negro
mother is willing to allow her daughter
TO marry man who does not own
