latter part of this week and fore part

delivered by Rev. j. A. Johnston of
Kalamazoo, at the M. +. church on
Tuesday evening, June 81.
The 9TH grade attended the grammar
school graduation at Lawton as expect
ed, and had delightful time. They
express much commentator OF the
program.
The "little ones" have been drilling
on Golden Texts at their morning ex-
ercises lately, and can now rattle off
all the texts of the last quarter without
scarcely stopping for breath.
The first intermediate has just COM
pleted the interesting story of "Black
Beauty" than which no other book of
fiction contains more salutary thoughts
for the young.
IL is rather embarrassing to our
teachers at this late date, to have so
many questions asked by patrons as to
whether they expect to remain another
year, when, as one of them wittily
said, "Only the Lord and the School
Board can yet tell" Please defer your
inquiries.
The grammar department boasts of
eight pupils who have been neither alb
sent nor tardy within the entire year.
The list includes Viola Salisbury, Kate
Coy, Winnie Wildey, Pearl Haggart,
Eugene Roundy, Clare Anderson. Rolla
Loveland, and Fred Webb. The last
mentioned drives in five miles every
day.
Miss Smith of the I'd intermediate
was sick and out of school on Wednes-
day and Thursday, and Miss Rose
Hinckley acted as substitute. Miss Will
son of the first primary was alse out for
a day or two, and her work was carried
on by her sister, Miss 10 Wilson.
Mabel Andrews of the 9th grade, who
last year sustained bad fracture of the
elbow, has never regained the use of
her arm, and is at Ann Arbor undergo
ing treatment. Edna Buskirk of the
same grade, has also left school and
gone to an aunt's in Lawrence.
Commencement exercises will be held
at the Rink on Thursday evening, June
%. This place is each year fitted up at
considerable expense and labor, in or
der to accommodate as many as posi-
bic of the schools patrons. Tickets can
be obtained at Longwell's drug store
or DR.. Maynard's Office, and positively
no one will be admitted without one. If
you carelessly leave your ticket at home,
do not expect admittance, for more than
usual vigilance will be this year exer-
cised, SO as to avoid the usual crush.
Tickets can also be procured at the
same places for the grammar school eX-
ercises, and will be equally necessary.
A very fine class graduates from the
grammar school this year, and no pains
has been spared in making arrange
ments for their annual exercises which
will be held in the Opera House on the
evening of June %. Their motto "Sail-
ing" furnishes the key to the program,
which is sailor exercise, throughout,
