PEACE INSTITUTE.
A FULL REPORT OF THE CON-
MENCEMENT EXERCISES.

Winners--Programm of Concerto |
The Studio--A Prosperous In stitution.
The exercises of Peace Institute this |
year were exceedingly interesting. We'd
nesday evening of last week the Kin
dergarten department under Mrs. Nc
DOnald's management gave an exhibition
in calesthenics and elOcution that was
admirable. The training in this de |
department is worthy Of special men
ton; for no better teaching is done in any
department Of any school, and no more
interesting results attained. Peace Insti-
tute and our people have reason to be as
proud of this as of any educational work
done among Us.
On Friday evening May both, the exer-
clses in French, German, and Latin, though
thcy were III certain sense. OF course,
the recitation OF passages and dialogues
prepared with especial care for the occa
sion, were also very significant indications
Of the linguistic work done at the lnstitu-
tuition, where all the languages are taught
verbally and where even Latin is taught
and learned by talking 1.-THE only sensi-
BILE method, by the way, of getting the
best results. The recitatons by Miss Jen-
ME Simpson and Miss Frank Faison Of the
graduating class deserve special mention.
On Monday evening June I'd, in Tucker
Hall the first of the commencement exer-
cises proper were held. AS cultivated an
audience of citizens and visitors from
every part Of the State assembled as ever
assemblies in the Capital. After the trus-
tees had taken their seats on the stage,
the professional hymn 'HOpe" by Prof.
Baumann was played by Misses S. Edmund
son, B. Young and L. Anderson and to its
music the pupils of the Institute marched
ill., The children of the kindergarten took
their S eats in the gallery, and NADIA very
pretty circle of bright faces around the
railing. A part Of the classes followed
them up stairs, while the graduating class
and those who were to receive special dis
tinction were assigned seats on the stage,
and the full chorus had reserved seats in
front of the audience. The exercises were
opened by prayer by Rev. B. NJ. Smith,
then the chorus led by Miss Mary Lily Ke-
| large audience listened with the utmost
