Such is my primlege now in testifying to the ability and efficiency of Miss Sarah Du Pre, who has been our Musical Direetress for nearly two years. Her education and experience are both of a very superior char- acter. She has studied in the best schools of this country and has spent some time abroad. She has the power' of getting her pupils to learn music. She is persistent and exacting in her instruction, securing a high degree of progressive work from her pupils. She is always at her post, and is one of the most constant and faithful teachers I have ever known. . tSignedy Q. S. DEAN, President, .Mansfield College for Women. It affords me pleasure to be able to state that during my con- nection for two years with Martha Washington College, Virginia, I saw enough of Miss Du Preis work as teacher of Pianoforte and performer, to convince me of her thorough abilities in those departments of musical instruction. I have often left my most advanced pupils in her charge tas substitutel and always With most gratifying results, and' I have known her, on account of her superior patience, to succeed in in- stilling musical ideas into the minds of pupils whom I had concluded to be incapable of receiving them. I fully endorse her as a competent piano teacher. tSignedy HENRY G. HANCHETT, Mus. D, Director of Music, illartha Washington College, Va. I have known Miss Sarah Du Pre from childhood, and take pleasure in bearing my testimony to her many excellent qualities as a refined and cultured Christian lady. She is regarded by those far more competent to judge than I am, a fine performer on the piano. I have reason to know that she gave entire satisfaction in institutions: where she has taught. She gave proof that she is not only an accomplished musician, but a skillful and successful teacher as well. . I commend her with great coniidence to any seking the ser- vices of one who is not only a first class teacher but also a desir- able companion and guide to young ladies. tSignedy JAs. H. CARLISLE.
