This tour through the old North State has greatly increased my
appreciation of its material resources, its people of both colors,
its recuperative process, and its public institutions.

TENNESSEE.
Students’ Day at Le Moyne.
PROF. A. J. STEELE, MEMPHIS.
April 23d was Students’ day at Le Moyne. This interesting day was
a complete success in every respect. The school was under such
excellent discipline that there was no hesitancy in surrendering
it entirely to the students for a day’s experience. The faculty
were chosen by the school with a great deal of judgment, and on
Wednesday morning they took their places upon the platform.
The new principal is a man of a great deal of promise—the principal
of the intermediate department, a young man Who is an earnest
student and who has already had some experience in teaching. Other
teachers were equally well chosen.
The lower schools came up as usual, marching to the music of
the piano. After appropriate devotional exercises, the pupils
re-passed to their school-rooms below, and the other classes to
their respective duties. The work in the classes was as usual, and
the order and attention were remarkable. The teachers deported
themselves with much dignity, and seemed anxious to avoid an
assuming, overbearing manner, which might have been expected from
the newness of the positions.
Many visitors were in and out during the day, and remarked upon the
order and good feeling manifested. The influence of these days upon
the school is most excellent. We can but feel that being thrown
upon their own resources in this way, their executive ability and
devotion to work is tested to the utmost; and it requires no small
moral culture to avoid temptations to disorder that might come to
those whose hearts are not thoroughly in the work.
Our year has been greatly broken by the time lost at the beginning
of the year by the epidemic, yet the school never seemed to be
in a more prosperous condition. Both the normal and intermediate
departments are filled to overflowing. Our horizon seems
brightening more and more, and we hope at the close of the year
not only to have gained in popularity, but to have extended the
influence of the school for good.
