In music she had the best of New England teachers from childhood until about grown, then studied in the New England Conservatory of Music, in Boston, and in '80, '81, and '82 gave special attention to the piano, organ, and harmony, under Prof. Blodgett, of Smith College, Northampton, Mass. She is a superior performer, and has taught successfully for years. She has made a specialty of French, and speaks the language; had studied both French and German in Dr. Sauvenur's School of Languages, and we speak for her a splendid work in this Southland. The following direct testimonial is from an associated teacher:-- Russel, Kan., October 22, 1883. This will certify that miss Nellie B. Porter was associated with me in the management of Shoreham Academy, Vermont, during the year ending May 4, 1883, as teacher of Instrumental Music and French, and it gives me great pleasure to testify to the worth of one so deserving. She is a lady of rare attainments and broad culture, possessed of superior native abilities, and, in her chosen profession, stands in the front rank. I can not commend her too highly to all whom these presents may reach, knowing her to be faithful, diligent and ambitious to the last degree. C. H. French Mr. James W. Giles—Pittsylvania County, Va., is twenty-three years old; has completed the Mathematical Course of this College; has an earnest, Christian character; is a close reasoner; has clear and comprehensive powers, and is an industrious student. He is giving the entire summer to special study, to have charge of two classes in higher mathematics. He has attended the normal classes, and has this session had a few months of successful experience in teaching. Mr. W. M. Straley—Is twenty-four years old. He has been a close student for many years; has been enrolled in this Institution four sessions; has completed the Classical Course, and taught, with delight to his students, one of the Greek Classics during the entire last session. His patience of study; his earnest piety, industry, and talent, give him, with all, a most honored character and influence. He is spending the summer in special observation and study at the National Normal, Lebanon, Ohio. The other three members of the faculty, who are preparing to do more teaching than usual the coming session, have stood before the public in this work from five to ten years each, and are well known to former students and the general public.
