Cur Public schools -
The third Annual Commeneen1eAtso
our Public Schools viii take place at the
NJ. E. Church, Monday evening, June 3,
1873. 1t is encouraging to all concerned,
that there is promise of many visitors
from abroad. This fact guides us more
fully to our duty here at home The
graduation of our children from the high
est grade of our schools has already es-
tablished itself as d great annual occasion.
The devotion of our people in the past be-
speaks their abiding interest in the pres
ent hour. On that evening seven more
young people viii graduate. By this act
they declare that they have studied
twelve years in our schools. Such devO-
ton on the part of our children de-
mands our presence, our enthusiasm, our
good words and our cheerful smiles. The
best thing that we can leave our chill
dren. Such an inheritance is abiding.
Then let US so rally about these young
friends, that their graduation day may
prove TO them one of the best of life's
| days, and that the occasion may become
a source of great inspiration to all our
children. To the coming Commence
ment there is only one party, and that
party embraces every citizen.
The sentiments we utter are not amiss,
when we consider the devotion of our
Working Board of Education. We have
from the same, as our annual Commence
ment Committee: Judge Priddy, Chair
man; Morris Sharp, w. c. Stevens. This
committee have appointed as a Decorating
Committee the following persons: Mrs.
R. A. Robinson, Chairman; Morris

of the Commencement m usic, has called to
her assistance W. Fl. May, Mrs. J. P.

dent; Arthur Stevens, Recording secre-
