' exciting deep indignation in this commu

The Sentinel opposes the movement
. for a State convention, and says the call
" for a convention in North Carolina and
Georgia is the form in which openly dis
loyal men of thoso States aro making op

The average enrollment docs not in
elude the whole number of scholars in at
tendauce. It is obtained by dividing the
sum of the actual number of pupils of
each week for the term. Thus, tho aver
ago enrollment is greater than tho num
ber of pupils in school at tho beginning,
but less than the number at the close of
the term. Tho number of pupils seated
in the High School, for the first week of
the fall term of 1864, was thirty-three;
for the last week of the same term, sev
enty-four; and has been as high as eighty
ono. In the Primary Department, for the
first week, one hundred and twenty-eight;
last week, one hundred and twonty-soven ;
and has been as high as one hundred and
fifty-four. The Intermediate Department,
throughout tho term, has kept inside the
limits fifly-fiye and sixty-one. '
.... Owing to tho want of room wo have
boen compelled to change several classes
from one room to another, so that it is
impossible to give tho accurate number of
pupils enrolled iu each department. . Tho
per cent, of attendance, it will bo seen, is
greator by seven por cent, than last year,
yet the djflerence, wilh a littlo attention
on 'the -part 'of parents, might bo made
still greater. This is the greatest difli
culty the teachers have to contend with -
the irregularity of attendance. It is to
be hoped that the patrons of the schoo
will encourage the teachers in their efforts
to decrease this prevailing evil . in our
schools. . ' J .
