there was no such thing as keeping the run
of, were easily and accurately carried along
in the minds of these boys, and no sooner |
did their teacher complete the question
than a sea of hands were appraised with |
ready answer-in nearly every instance cor
rectly given. So ready were the answers
that some present thought 1t q "put up |
job" and that the boys could not possibly |
have worked il out mentally SO quickly;
and so, to satisfy the sunbelieving," num-
bcrs were given by outside gentlemen, TO
be used in putting the questions, and al
ways with the same rapidly of thought
and answer by the boys. No other schools
in the state can present the like examples
of proficiency in mental arithmetic.
These exercises were interpreted by
singing the sentence: "Tcach me, o Lord,
the way OF thy statulc,' &C., and the
"Song of the Free" both from the " Sing
crs Manual"
Gov. Sladc then told the boys that he
wished to introduce TO them some of the
gentlemen present, whom lie hoped would
say few words TO them by way of encour-
agement. and as he understood that Gov
Peck was prevented from being present. he
inquired for Lieut.. Gov. Hinckley. Mr..
| iIinckey also being absent, Mr.. Slade said
he would introduce to them the man who
sits in the big chair in the representatives
| Al II
bcrs of The house are accustomed to ad-
dress as "Mr. Speaker
There were here bright intellecis that
would in future years become useful citi-
zcns, and credit to the state and to this
school. He hoped that as the boys grew
up they would vet come TO occupy seats on
the floor of the house themselves, and be
able to address the presiding officer as 'Mr.
Speaker" He would now introduce Hon.
II. Henry Powers, the speaker of the house
of representatives Mr.. Powers replied
substantially as follows
SPEAKER POWERS REMARKS.
My friend Slade has entirely mistaken
the duties of the speaker. His business
is not to speak, but TO keep silence and hear
others. There was one duty, however,
