very fully and logically of the seclusion of
Chrlsts early life, and the Divine purpose
therein, Mr.. Burr appropriately asked "Wha,
lessons are there for us in those wears of our
Master at Nazareth? Surely, if during wears
SO full of the future, God has so perfectly
fulfilled his own will in life, there must be
much OF instruction in it for US. In the first
Pirce, think, we see Plainly. that deep foun-
d0tions are but laid in obseurity; the roots of
all towering greatness run back under the
SOL OF years. Simplicity of feeling and of
character are formed in retirement. The
true to himself. Any noisy pile-driver will
set pier in some shallow inlet, but the pier
OF an East river suspension bridge must
he laboriously built for long months in SINK
caissons out of the sight of men.
The second plain lesson for US is. that one
who is doing Gods work can afford to wait
Gods time. We are in haste to seize on life.
Our words are without force, our efforts with
out power. We begin before we are half
ready and end before we are half DONE And
another lesson taught US by Christ's unknown
life in Nazareth is that our seemingly unfay-
orable conditions of life are Gods conditions
for us, but the last and greatest lesson is that
the inner life is more important than the
outer 1t is strange that we do not under
stand this better, for all about US, in nature,
God is constantly destroying the shell for the
life within, the husk for the kernel. He rends
with frost and rots with moisture and heat
the beautiful polished covering of the acorn
or chestnut, that the germ within may be-
come the monarch of the Forest
In closing, Mr.. Burr made his appeal to
the members of the graduating class: my
dear pupils of the graduating class-These
are no new lessons to most of you. There
are not many new lessons in this world, and
we do well if we get the old ones. 1t will be
just as ell that the world hears nothing from
you for long years, but what it hears and
whether it hears, will depend upon what
the next, silent, waiting years, shall bring
you, and when the days Of waiting are over
and the full hour of your public responsibility
is upon you, know, as did the Savior, ''.that
the life is more than meat and the body, than
raiment.''

The city schools outside of the village dis
tict, are about closing for the summer vaca-
tons. Prof. G.. T. Fletcher has spent nearly
every day for the past few weeks, in making
the last rounds of visits. Much of his time
for two months has been directed to the in
spection of our schools, for the purpose OF
determining the work done, classifying the
schools, introducing better methods
Of teaching and assisting the teachers.
His plan has been to render the instruction
in all the branches most practical, while
giving special attention to reading. The So
called Quincy Method has been used to
considerable extent with very beneficial re-
suits, Mr.. +. having made special study OF
the system of primary instruction in Massa-
chusetts The teachers are above
the average in ability and experience.
ALI have labored earnestly, faith
fully, and most successfully. wish
has been expressed by teachers that the SUI
pervisor form class for special instruction
in the subjects and methods of teaching dur
ing the summer and fall. So few OF our
teachers have had Normal training, that
special drill is much to be DESIRED
and it would greatly increase the
efficiency of our instructors. Mr..
Fletcher's experience as principal OF
the State Normal School for many years.
and as Supervisor of Schools, would render
itpossible for him to give the most needed
instruction in the briefest time.
