partly to the crowded condition OF the
room and the necessarily opened win

audience. All who speak OF it say it was

of the excellence of the whole.
The diplomas were presented to the
graduating class by Supt. Pratt with
few appropriate remarks. Snort speeches
" were made by several members of the
Board OF Education, and on motion Of
a lady. the thanks of the audience were
rendered to The Superintendent and
teachers OF the pupils for their efforts In
getting up the entertainment. To avoid
nvidiou distinction we forbear mention

choice Much praise is due Mr.. }. NJ.

training q. which enabled the school to rem
der the vocal music so satisfactorily. 1t

from the highest to the lowest grade, as
any branch of study, and its good effects
are manifest.
