In days nasi, ' whe comtnciieeniciil-s w.ire tolerated ,at \Villiatnf r6n, the press of the Stole pronounced 1 iis exercises the most hrillianl and ufJtiue ol {their kind.

We iiii only (.\plain this by the fact that the children who participated 111 this affair arc all under fifteen ywirs of age. and are not required to apply themselves as closely as more advanced collegiate pupils would neecssai-V. We have "made brick In ICgypt," and kimw whereof we speak when we *ay that College eoiiinnruecmciits do interfere and thut seriously with the regular and legitimate work ot the pupil. Besides, such exercises <lo not all'ord a reliable "proof of proficiency" for they consist generally of music and song, and it is not possible to form any opiniuji whatever of a pupil's literary advunccmtiit from hearing her sing, or perform on the piano, line might be able to estimate her attainmeets in music and acting; but in npthing else, 'i'hc Abbeville High School dm'ji h'otemploy a Professor of music, It Is sim]>ly a literary' school, and yet you call this entertainment consisting wholly and absolutely of MnTVIc and sou-; u "proof of its proticincy !' .1........... i.VV*?.u-lll iimI (,?, vjiimml'llirj MIVM Ml l ?* JV?M .?
