GOLIAD, TEXAS.
BY MR. J. R. S. HALLOWAY.
School closed here on the 31st of May with an examination and exhibition. The house was packed to its utmost. Prominent white people of Goliad were in attendance, and returned home surprised and astonished, exclaiming “We saw more than we came to see. We had no idea that the Congregational school could come up to this. That anthem ‘Strike the Cymbals’ sung by the teacher and school was splendid. We would advise all those who are sending their children to this school to continue.” Goliad is acknowledged to be the greatest educational centre in western Texas. The prospect of building up a good school here is seventy-five per cent better than it was a month ago. There is an educational society instituted about a year ago which is doing all in its power for the advancement of the school, and we look forward to the day when the much needed school building will be provided. We are about to organize a Band of Hope.
