County Superintendent E. NJ. Heath
was announced on the printed programme
to present the diplomas, but a letter was
received regretting his inability to be
present. The audience was not dsap.
pointed, however, as in his place State
Superintendent Il. o. Chapman did honor
to the occasion by his presence, and made
the presentation. His words were full of
encouragement and were listened to with
rapt attention by all. The Glass can feel
highly honored by the visit from State
Superintendent Chapman.
Rev. VIM. Swan, Of the First Presby.
terrain Church, made very charming add
dress to the Glass, and the parents were
advised and congratulated by Rev. j H.
Boswell, Of the Methodist Church, in an
earnest aud feeling manner. Prior to the
benediction, by the Rev. L. X. Smith, of

of the Glass, presented the Principal, A.
p. Kerr, with three beautiful bound vol
umes-" Prose Quotations." "Poetical
Quotations" aud Eminent Authors of
All Nations" by DR.. Allibone.
The large audience present fully ex-
pressed the high regard in which the
Commencement exercises are held, and to
accommodate all who would have liked
to be present would necessitate the build
ing of a new and much larger hall. The
Principal, his able assistants and the
Trustees, are to be congratulated upon
the entire success Of the Commencement
exercises of 1880
1t is but just to say that the children
were trained in elocution by Miss Annie
Stout and in music by Miss Ida Person,
