Miss. L. R. Wright, Assistant In consequence of the large number of scholars admitted into this school, the past year, it became necessary to employ and assistant. Miss Wright was employed, and has proved to be an excellent one; she has given much character to the school, by an earnest and efficient performance of her duties. During the year, the Peabody Medal has been completed, and awarded according to the plan adopted the previous year. The Medal has been awarded to eighteen scholars, all of whom had satisfactorily passed a three years' course of the school. During the year, a new regulations has been made, which we hope will tend to increase the interest of scholars, and set as a healthy stimulus. The teachers are required to keep a true and accurate record of the scholarship and deportment of each scholar, and at the close of the year print it in schedule form, and distribute copies of it among parents and visitors. We are glad to see that the interest in this school has not abated; and we hope that the expectations of its friends will be fully answered. The following graduates have received
