ton entitled Thought" in good style
Miss Kate Munster gave an English recita
ton (selected from Pollock and was ap
plauded. An English composition, "Writers
and Critics. was handsomely read by Miss
Kate Dalton. Members of the senior class
gave much evidence Of talent for eiocution
in their rendition of historical frag.
ment. Aftet this came the awarding of
diplomas.
Mr.. Boothby, the Sixth District superin-
teudent of public education, then stepped
| forward and said, in the absence of the
chairman of the committee on high schools.
the duty OF distributing the diplomas would
devolve on him; but before proceeding to
that duty he desired to say a few words TO
the young ladies' about to graduate. He
said too m&ny of tho Young ladies
who graduate from the public schools

| livelihood than teaching. IIs thought this
wrong. He said there were over 500 ap-
| p!ications for situations IA teachers in the
| schools, when thtre were TO vacancies,
! rend5 ring il impossible to give every
applicant situation. He said there
were other avenues Of employment
open. and with the education impartt d
to young ladies i'll the public schools
they were fitted to I'LL iRtelligentIy many
positions in life that would afford them 8
contorta BILE living lie said this with mona
but the most kindly feeling for those he
was addressing; and while he felt satisfied
that the Board of School Directors would
do all il could for them in the way of giving
them employment "a teachers, he would
advise them to seek other avenues OF enl-
pioynent. He assured them that he should
always, in tie future as in the past, feel a
deep interest in their welfare; and hoping
that lis remarks might be of benefit to
them, as they were certainly intended 70
be, he would proceed TO distribute the
diplomas to those declared entitled to them.
