South Lancaster Academy.
By Editor
WE have received the Annual Catalogue and Announcement of South Lancaster Academy, South Lancaster, Mass., for 1885-86. It is a pamphlet of 80 pages, with a neat cover, and contains the names of the Board of Trustees, of the Faculty, and of the managers of the Industrial Department; a register of students the past year; a historical sketch of the institution; a description of the buildings and grounds; full information as to the design of the school, the departments of instruction, courses of study, expenses, etc., etc. We learn from it that 117 students were in attendance the past year. The catalogue was printed on the Academy's own press, which also issues an excellent monthly journal, the True Educator. We are glad of the prosperity of this academy, and wish it abundant success in the coming school year, which opens Sept. 8. One interesting feature announced for the coming winter is a series of lectures by Elder S. N. Haskell, President of the Board, on the "manners, customs, conditions, and occupations" of the people in the countries which he has visited. Elder Haskell's extensive travels in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand have fitted him for making such a series of lectures eminently instructive. We bespeak for the Academy a large attendance. Address Chas. C. Ramsey, A. M., Principal, South Lancaster, Mass.
