Commencement Week.

Tie Commencement Exercises of the
College beginning with DR.. IIunting's
sermon to the students. at the Presby-
terrain Church, Sunday morning, were
really Of a very high order of merit.
This discourse especially was full of
practical suggestions. helpful to those
youth who are seeking to build up char
acters, that shall endure long after the
glamour of the polished exterior shall
have passed away The address by
Rev. j. NJ. Barley to the associations
was an eminently instructive and prac-
teal representation of the genuine
traits OF Christian character so neces-
sary for all those who desire to labor
for the spiritual welfare of their fellows
without which no one need hope to
succeed. Mr.. Barkley's manner is
especially pleasing and his or atory
forcible. and eloquent.
The Rhetorical exercises were very
interesting giving evidence of much
study and research on the part of those
participating.
The musical concert under the lead
ership of Miss Leila y, Stevens gave
farther proof of this young lady's
superior abilities as teacher. The
easy grace and skill with which her
pupils acquit them selves, are the best
possible proof of her talents as teach
er. Miss Stevens may justly feel proud
of the proficiency displayed by them on
this occasion.
The program as given last week was
carried out i'm full, much to the credit
of all concerned. The decorations of
the Hall were very elaborate and tasty,
the festoons of evergreen, and the many
beautiful flowers in deftly array added
much to the beauty of the scene.
The exercises throughout were of
such character as TO attest TO the prom
inence which Alma College has assum-
ed among the leading educational in
sttutious of the country. Many Wis
itors from abroad witnessed the
exercises and all seemed well pleased.
The College closed OH Wednesday.

Two musical entertainments will e

May % and "a at the Peoples church.
The proceeds of these concerts will be
devoted to charging the public school
libraries. This is an object which
claims the attention of citizens of st.
Paul. While the children are taught
how to read let them be furnished with
suitable literature and encouraged to
form habits of reading outside of their
prescribed text books. School libraries
must be small at best, but they prepare
for an intelligent use of public libraries
by teaching boys and girls to handle
books of reference and by cultlvating
taste for good reading.
The last of the series Of AmphiOn
concerts of season of 1SSS-S9 will be
given in the First Baptist church of

The programme on this occasion will
