AFTER THOUGHTS.
With the exercises noted above the an
nual distribution r.cOmmencements in the
schools OF t,is city closed. They began
with the Valley (coloretD school mt the First
(colored) Bopti.t church on Tuesday, June
Gth. This reporter has patiently, and not
without profit and pleasure, followed them
! from Alpha to Omega. Nor can 1t be that
the time thus spent has been lOst either IN
journalistic or in moral and intellectual
point Of view. The public have had full
and complete reports OF all the schools re-
gardless OF sex, creed, color. or condition.
II has been the sole aim and purpose OF the
| DiSpatca to lay before itS readers OF all
classes the true state OF atfiirs IN all the
schools and TO aid 10 the utmost OF its power
cause so dear to all good citizens the
proper education and training Of the men
and women OF the future. That our Efforts
| i'm this direction have been properly appreci-
ated we have received abundant proof ana
recognition. III VIII Oe tWelNc mohthS DE-
! fore this or some other scribe returns TO Il
task which to this writer has been IN many
respec's labor Of love. obstruction has been
received, friendships formed, snd happy
hours spent in the contemplation OF that
youth. innocence, and beauty for which ouf
city is so justly noted. In such good compa-
ny the reportorial mind scared above much
that was gross and sensual, and lived, at
! least for time, in a purer and better at-
mo>pherc When the Joyous day OF June
OF 1881 shall come in the natural course OF
events, II not otherwise ordered, the ren
shall b. taken up where it is to-day dropped.
and With charity to all will the history Of
our schools be recorded.
To one and all who in the past three
weeks aided in making our labor Icss and
our duty one OF pleasure rather than Of toll
heartfelt thanks are due a0d rendered.
