Miss Williams' school is far beyond the other in attainments, owing to the length of time which she has devoted to the work of its tuition. In the elements of Grammar and Arithmetic the Scholars do remarkably well, and the pains bestowed upon them must be seen in the intelligence of their responses. 

Miss Newton's school has not been so long under tuition as the other, but there is hope for it in the regular attendance of the children, and their great anxiety to learn. They have already made very great progress in reading, and in mental arithmetic (as to the elementary rules) they seem quite at home.

A Grammar Class from the advanced pupils of Miss Williams' school is under my tuition, to which I attend tri-weekly; and on Fridays, the exercises of both schools united are conducted by Miss Williams, Miss Newton, and myself alternately. I also chatechize, and give a scripture lesson in conclusion
