These services took place in thu
Huntington Hall on "Wednesday

large and fashionable audience to ex
press their interest in the school affair
generally, and more particularly
perhaps to listen to the orations o
the two young lady graduates, Miss
Marion Everett and Miss Agne.
Hitchcock. The graduates had chosen
popular subjects. Miss Hitchcock
was "Close the worlds fair on Sunday
and Miss EIerett's, "Open the worlds
fair on Sunday" while neither intro
duced any startlingly new argument,
both used effectively the arguments
adduced, employed choice language
and enunciated clearly Severa

to the platform where they were done
Rev. A. j. Williams, after delivering
an address on the physical mental anc
moral aspects OF education, presented
the diplomas and Carleton scholar
ship to Miss Everett. The music fol
the evening" was well executed, anC
the singing good. The stage was
neatly decorated by the class of '93; 9
complete arch in ilacs surrounding
the whole. On the platform were the
three ministers at present in town, land
also Principal Farrar who conducted
the proceedings, and all the other
teachers. The platform would have
looked more complete if the school
board had been there with the school
staff. The school motto adopted for the
occasion and displayed in gilt letters
was, "Duae Numero, Legio Spe.'
The hand translation, Though
the number be two only, the pros
pect is great" is sentiment that
would be largely endorsed by the au-
dience for the two young ladies who
commenced" life last evening. After
the exercises closed the High School
pupils to the number of 80, with Miss
Eastman AMI Mr.. Farrar, partook OF

the younger children of the town. Miss

Kindergarten" is the two German
words signifying, "Childrcn's Gar
den," and the object of this method o
teaching is to impart knowledge ane
make the pupils feel that they are on
ly playing all the time. 1t is mean
for infants between the ages of say fou
and seven years, but older children
can profit much by it. Blocks, mod
els and pictures are used in such
way that without giving the child any
mental strain, he is learning in ele
menta airy form, all the branches tina
are taught in the ordinary public
school.
Miss Everson has been studying tn
subject all winter. aud has it thorough
ly in hand. With her we'll known cul
tured mind and attractiyeness of char
acter, it is certain to meet with tn
highest success. She means to max
the session this year run over periot
of ten weeks, and there is little doub
but the citizens who have little folk
will take due advantage of this excel
lent opportunity.
