CLOSE or THE Sr. CLAIRsyILLE
SCHOOL. The winter session of the ST.
Ciairsville school, under the manage
ment of s. w. Keyser, closed on Friday
March 26, and we cannot permit the OPP
portunity to pass, without expressing
our conviction that the school has
proved decided success. The session
was closed with an Exhibition"
which we must in nowise neglect to
speak of. The closing exercises took
place on the evening of the 26th., in the
presence ofa large number of ladies and
gentlemen, patrons and directors
After prayer by Rev. c. U. Heilman,
the audience were favored with a song
called, "Good Evening"" This was fol-
lowed by an address, subject, Each a
duty to perform, !" by Mrs.. w. Keyser,
was ably written and we'll delivered.
The exercises were then continued by
quite a number of Essays, Select Read
ings, Declarations, and Dialogues.
The audience were occasionally favored
by a number of comic songs by g. W.
Grove, which received much applause.
The exercises throughout were COM
plete success. Mr.. S. w. Keyser de-
serves great credit for his assiduous at
tention to the duties of his profession,
and for the careful attention to the adj
vancement of his pupils during the
session. He, like all earnest teachers,
has desire to see the teacher elevated
in his position, and not trampled un-
der the feet by Ignorance and vice
The true motives, which should ami
mate the teacher are love of the pro-
fession for its own sake, a firm and I'M
yielding devotion to the interests of
the common schools and popular edu-
cation, and a pure and unselfsh desire
to seek the highest good of those young
minds he is to assume the responsible
ty leading into the paths sofknowledge
and virtue. / hope that all teachers,
who have this desire, will not cease
until the profession of teaching is ele-
waited TO that high position, from which
will emanate those. influences, which
are to lead future generations into the
paths of Virtue and knowledge.
