The exercises last night were attended
by 300 or 400 people and were highly
creditable to the teachers and pupils.
After music by the class, the exercises
were opened with prayer by Rev. Falk
Gjertsen, after which Prof. Thomas j.
Gray. principal of the normal school at
st. Cloud. delivered under the title.

Misses Mona NewcOmbe and Mary
Clarke read papers in which they dis

training under the opposite heads: 1.-The
Teacher Is Born" and 1.-The Teacher Is
Made.' Miss Newcombe's paper was a
strong argument to show that GER

and character are required to make
a successful instructor and that the
school can only develop and cannot
create these, while Miss Clarke's essay
placed in strong forcible form facts
which would seem to prove that people
with very different natural adaptability
for teaching the young idea how to
shoot may become very successful in
structors through proper and careful
training.
The essay and valedictory by Miss
Mary Reyes, who took "Relations in
Teaching as her theme, was very en-
