the  old  one  on  Wall  Street  no  longer  sufficed,  and  inside  of  foiu"
years  three  fine,  large  school-houses  were  added.  The  Penn  build-
ing, at  the  north-east  corner  of  Main  and  Fairview  Streets,  was
finished  and  opened  in  the  summer  of  1888.  The  Jefferson  building,
at  the  corner  of  Maple  and  North  Streets,  was  finished  and  ready  for
use  in  1890.  Then  it  was  concluded  that  the  old  Wall  Street  build-
ing was  no  longer  either  sightly,  sanitary  or  safe.  It  was  demolished
and,  on  its  site,  arose,  in  1892,  the  handsome  structure  which,  with
sesqui-centennial  associations  in  mind,  was  named  the  George
Neisser  School-house,  in  honor  of  Bethlehem's  first  school-master
of  1742.  A  notable  occurrence  in  connection  with  Moravian  school
work  in  Bethlehem,  during  the  years  now  under  review,  was  the
elaborate  celebration,  by  the  Seminary  for  Young  Ladies,  in  1885,
of  the  centennial  anniversary  of  its  re-establishment  as  a  general
boarding-school  for  girls.
