“The following young ladies constituted the class, and at the close of the year passed the usual examination conducted by myself, and occupying four half-days, and a special examination in Methods of Teaching and School Economy, by members of the School Board and myself. The results were satisfactoi-3r, and diplomas were accordingly given to all of them: …

A diploma was also given, after equally satisfactory examinations, to Amelia H. Ware, who had been a member of the class, in the theoretical work, during the year, but could not engage in the practical part of it, as only eight could profitably be employed as Assistants.”
