The 20lh of March dawne6 beautiful
and bright, but even the brightness of
the sun did not excel that OF those young
faces that convened to witness the clos
ing of the seventh term Of which have
been their teacher. 1t has been my lot
to witness seven such closing scenes, all
of which have been attended by goodly
number Of visitors, and all of which have
been productive of the usual feeling Of
pleasure and regret. We feel a pleasure
produced by the six months of freedom
from the tedium of the school ROOM
Spring is opening before us. We feel
grieved that we are about to separate
from those kind and happy faces which
have been so familiar for the past six
months, and which we perhaps shall
never meet again in the school!room.-
But perhaps the deepest feeling of sor-
row is the fear that we have not at all
times discharged our duty so judiciously
as our responsibilities require. But this
is now matter of the past which cannot
be altered. And we would say to the
pupils that any action which we may
have taken by way OF reproof or correc.
ton will be understood as having been
intended for the good of the parties in.
terested and the school generally, and
that we have'ha profitable season to.
gether. And ties of friendship have been
generated which shall always occupy q
prominent place in our list of most cher
ished remembrances We would say to
the parents of the district, that we fee
greatly indebted to them for the mani.
fold kindness which they have extended
to us at all times and also for their one
ness in feeling and action in regard tc
the school, without which no teacher Car
be successful. Not jar, not discord
mot even dissenting voice to mar thu
progress of the school, but all have givel
their undivided support in regard to tn
manner in which the school has beer
governed, which reflects credit upon al
as members Of society at large. w
would say to the community in genera
that for superior talent, good behavior
obedience and generosity, we feel in
clined to say that our school is not ex
celled by any. And in conclusion, W
would say to those little boys and girl
that we hope you may in due time be
come useful and honorable men and wo
men and be ready to take your place i
this beautiful world of ours and fill tn
same honorably to yourselves and soci
etv in general, and may the blessing Q
