THE SCHOOL TO REOPEN IN SEPTEMBER

The various entertainments, leading
up to the Commencement in the Lin
dsey- Wilson, brought many friends to
the institution, last week. and they
were well paid for coming, the exer-
cises being delightfully."- entertaining.
The principals, Messrs. Nelson & Moss,
assisted by accomplished teachers, have
left nothing undone to make this very
successful term. They have taken, as
1t seems to US. more pride in the school
this year than any one in the past,
though all the back terms have receiv-
ed the highest comatendation from the
public, the patrons and the pupils. The
principals are gentlemen of long exper-
ience, disciplinarians second to none,
this last statement having much to do
with the unwaveing success of the insti
tuition. They are not only trained
teachers, but gentlemen of stirling
character, just such men as Columbia
needs, whose business the people gen.
orally are interested in.
Columbia has almost doubled its popu-
iation in the last eight years, and her
rapid rise is due in great measure to
the Lindsey Wilson. That the school
will continue to prosper, the town con
tinue to advance in growth, no one who
is acquainted with the workings of the
institution. has the slightest pretext to
deny.
We can not close this Introductory
without mentioning the excellent work
of the assistant teachers, Prof. Paul
Moss Misses Elliot, Hatcher, MacGav
ock and Milliken. Prof. Moss assisted
in the Training Department, an excel
lent teacher; Miss Elliott in the busi-
ness, Miss Hatcher, the Music, Miss
MacGavock, Expression and Miss Mil
iiken, the Primary. All of whom are
especially adapted for their respective
work Miss Elliott is thorough busi-
ness lady; Miss Hatcher sings and plays
beautifully, and knows how to impart
her gifts to pupils. AS an Expire ssion
teacher, Miss MacGavock, has won
many laurels. making herself exceed
ingIy popular. Miss Milliken, who
taught the primay department. did her
work satisfactorily and is very much
loved by the younger pupils. During
the last four or five days there were a
number of programs rendered and each
one who took part deserves special men.

the instructor, who is artistic in her

When you consider that pupils went to
the piano and rendered most difficult
pieces without the music, you conclude
that the teacher was diligent in her
