The passing months have again brought us to where we may look back over the entire work of the year. While we grieve over opportunities lost and efforts to all appearance fruitless, we can, too, rejoice that the “Master of the harvest” has given increase. The year has been one, on many accounts, unusually successful and satisfactory. Never before have we known our pupils so susceptible to all good influences and so ready to receive instruction and guidance from their teachers. During the year past, the school has experienced a most precious revival, over forty of our young people professing conversion. In our closing prayer meeting for the year, it was found that there were but about a dozen students of the Normal department who had not accepted the Saviour. In way of school work we have never before secured so satisfactory results as this year has shown. Our attendance has been more constant, and consequently our work more thorough. A class of eight—five young men and three young ladies—this year complete the course of study, and go out to work at teaching in three different States, one taking a prominent place in the schools at Fort Smith, Ark. We have for the entire year had the active sympathy and hearty encouragement of the best people of the city; Gen. Humes, a very prominent lawyer and formerly a major-general in the Confederate army, giving the annual address, and the daily papers making full reports of lectures, graduating exercises, &c. Our industrial work has developed to our entire satisfaction, and by all our patrons and friends is now regarded as a very important and valuable feature of the school. A class of girls has had careful instruction, with actual practice in the experimental kitchen, in the nature, relative values and healthful methods of cooking different articles of food, including vegetables, meats, breads, pastry, &c., &c. Classes in needlework, knitting, use of sewing machines, &c., have had daily lessons and practice.
