Thy influence pure will shape our course,
L Thy light direct our way.
But should dark clouds of doubt arise
And threaten to pursue
Wen turn our memory back to thee,
And shape our course anew.

was pleasant occasion and this was the
programme:

Mr.. Webb.
Song-Lullaby.. Mcclellan
MIS- MOrrlS0n.
The musical selections were well rendered
and enjoyable. The address of George C.
Burgess, Esq, was most scholarly and grace
full, full of advice and instruction to the pros
pective teachers. Speaking to the grad
yates, he told them that no work more i'm
portant than that of teaching could ever be
undertaken, out into the world they were to
send men and women who would forever
bear the stamp and impress of their mould
ing hand. Starting with the letters which
are so marvellous that nations have ascribed
to them divine origin, it is for you to open
for the qualification of growing minds the
vast. illimitable gardens of literature, to re-
create the worlds history and to bring to
life again the heroes of all time. You must
be in love with your work, bring to it the
same self-absorption which sent Livingston
and Stanley into the wilds of Africa and
made them superior to all hardship. Moth
ing short of perfect devotion to and love of
the work will ensure success.
Richard Webb. Esq, then, with brief and
happy remarks, presented diplomas to the
following graduates:
iEthelyn g. Clark, Fannie Howarth,
fanme M Chaplin, Harriet o Proctor,
