The Lecture Association.

Below is given a summary OF the
financial work done by the Lecture
Association during the five seasons
it has been running. Total amount
received $2157.99; have paid out for
talent $I720.60; for other eXpen-
ses $2S5. 06, leaving in the hands of
the treasurer $241. 80:
| think it safe to say that the entertain
ments given have been source OF pleasure
and profit to every one who has attended
them and no one would like the idea of their
being discontinued. They have been the
means of improving the character of amuse-
ments in our village. Before the organiza-
ton of the association it was difficult to get
a fair sized audience to attend lecture; a
concert would attract large house, but a
minstrel would would draw a crowd; that
this is changed now is plainly seen. While
we may thank each other for the united in
terest that has made it possible to hear these
courses much credit is due to few, through
whose untiring effort and self-denial, at times
it has been possible to reach the very salts
factory conclusion as is above much appar-
ent 1t must be the wish of all who attended
the courses thus far, that the association now
made a branch of the work of the Library
Association be stained, and as has been
the rule in the past, each new course better
than the one preceding, make each one in
the future little better than the one before
So may we each one stand by and help all we
can to keep our lecture course. Everything
goes to indicate a more successful course
another season, than any we have had thus
far. AS means of social enjoyment, what
can be better? As an educator, who can es
innate the amount of good they have done
and will do? YOUR AUDITOR.
