 4 very pretty song, "The Cuckoo Sings in the Poplar Tree'' was then rendered and Miss Electra Robinson, followed by an essay. Immigration and it's Dangers" She treated the subject understandingly and displayed much research. After speaking of the classes of society and the distinctive dividing lines of each, she spoke of the Anar- chists. The fact most to be deplored with immigrants, said she, is that most of them come from countries where the sale of in- toxicating liquors is not considered wrong. Being in their own country politi- cal nonentities they look upon office as the highest thing in life and the sa- loon keeper can do with them whatever he will. In this way our politics are cursed be- state of affairs is to force the steamship com- panies to take back all persons who are known as anarchists or the like. We should change the laws so as to prohibit the liquor traffic and educate the ignorant ones to our degree of enlightenment and civilization.
 Miss May Louise Blackman read very elegant essay upon 'Culture." It was full of poetic sentiment and trained art.

A child is educated in the common branches. Culture is vir. tue, thought, spirit that pervades the whole being.
