The Last Day,

The closing exercises of school No. 2,
Madison township, took place last Satur-
day, May 9Th. The scholars assembled a
little later than usual, and At 1890 were
called to order by the teacher, Lin J.
Brandt. After thanking them for their Ho.
raj offerings, and informing the visitors
that there had been no drill for the occa-
sion he proceeded to hear the following
ricisstions: Spelling phone,ically: the
scholars evinced familiarity with this
method obtained only by patient training.
Then followed the Fiat, Second, Third
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Reader classes.
Mr.. Brandt understands the art Of teaching
reading, and these classes showed that his
labor had no, been for nsught. AZ the
cloee OF this recitation, the scholars and
guests were invited to lend q hand

and bundles, and adjourn 10 a neighborips

which the young ladies covered with nu.

interrupted in the natural sourse Of events
By the very pleasant queries of chicken?
pickles? cake? made doubly pleasant By
the hearty welcome given to one and sll
BY the whole school. After this very nee.
esssry and sensible arrangement the prizes
and treat were distributed. Every one
seemed perfectly satisfied with their gift
All then returned to the school house from
which they marhced to Zion Church. Al.
ter singing and prayer brief address BY
the Rev. James Mitchell was heard with
interest. Mr.. Mitchell gave much good
advice suited TO the occasion, and in words
that the youngest could comprehend. Lin
j. Brandt then made neatly worded we'll
delivered speech. He advised young peo-
pie to determine, each for himself what
his life work should be, and then 20 ahead
and try to live 1t; cited for encouragement
numerous examples Of great men who
had once been poor and insignifcant. He
concluded with few eloquent words Of
farewell which brought tears TO many eyes.
After the Benediction the crowd dis
