TEACHERS AND PUPILS PRAISED.
* * * Of the Students of the Academy in general, it gives the Trustees the highest pleasure to say, that their conduct has been almost uniformly correct—their diligence highly commendable, and their progress great. Of the Teachers, the Trustees beg leave to express their warmest approbation. Their zeal and talents have been employed in a manner, and with a degree of success, equally honorable to themselves and advantageous to the institution of which they have the charge.
The Trustees have the satisfaction of informing the public that Mr. McGready, whose talents as a teacher are well known, still continues to preside over the institution.
Mr. Charles R. Kennon, a Young Gentleman of classic education, has lately been employed as assistant teacher.
Miss Brodie still continues to superintend the female department. * * *
