SCHOOL sUPERINTENDENT.

The EAGLE is not disposed to criticise OF
to find fault, believing that every member
Der of the school board stands ready TO dc
his contentious duty and to act for the
best interests of the city, independent OF
all mere personal prejudices or pressures.
But everybody will concede that the city
schools, under the management OF DIR.
Stevenson, stands at the head of the pub
lie schools of the state. While he is very
quiet worker, he is wonderfully effective.
Owing to the necessity for more rigid
economy, the salary has been cut down
from &, 500 to s., 900, but we do not under
stand that he objects. As secretary OF the
National Teachers association he must
stand high and as one of the recognized
prominent educators of the country. No
other educator of the state could have been
elected to that position.
Our understanding IS that the board
will probably elect superintendent to-
night for the ensuing year. and the EAGLE
voices the sentiments OF a good many
parents in saying that it would regret the
loss OF DR.. Stevenson not only, but also
the chances OF new and untried man.

CRESCENT SOCIETY MEETING.

This society gave one of the best, if not
the BEST program of exercises during the
year-yesterday afternoon in the chapel of
the High school. The role began with a
song by the society with Miss Lucy
Guthrie at the piano.
Miss Clara Gehring recited "Lasca" in
graceful and finished style, receiving re-
peated encore.
Walter Cooley read an essay. Subject:
pleasures After Duty" This was credit
able to the writer and showed him well
taught in lessons of life.
Miss Grace Hatton, with Miss Flora Cas-
well as the piano, rendered a vocal solo in
fine voice, and was repeatedly encored by
the audience.
Miss Mary Burd read an essay. Sub
ject: "Thackery" This was excellent,
and her measure of the man and his time
was most admirably expressed and
demonstrated this young lady's familiarity
with general reading and literature.
Clydus Brown edited the Iris" and it
was spicy, full of fine hits, and well con-
sidered subjectc. 1t was also illustrated,
and brought down the audience with wild
and repeated applause.
Miss Bessie Bliss read paper entitled
81 Know Not Whether TO Depart in
Silence" which was very well written,
sweet in sentiment and pathetic in style.
Carl Clark read an essay-subject: SIN
ventions of the Past, Present and Future"
This was imaginary and amusing.
An instrumental duet by Misses Della
Coen and Aleths Randall was very sweetly
executed and was eucored.
Miss Mary Randall recited her Grafton,
"Shackles," which was by special request
of many present. With this Grafton Miss
Randall won the prize at the oratorical
contest, and it is a production of rare
merit, and worthy of a place in the best
literature of the day. 1t was spoken in
fine manner.
Miss Minnie Pedigo recited Diamond
cut Diamond" This was received with
delight by all present. Miss Pedigo has
fine voice, and her singing was enchant-
ing.
Ezra f. Beard made a short address as
president of the society, and spoke very
earnestly and pathetically OF the separa-
ton soon to take place, thanked all for
their work and pronounced this the last
entertainment for this year. He was
highly applauded.
Miss Ethel FreeIand retired from the
secretarystip, which she has filed with
ability, and Rraced with modesty and
sweetness of manner. Next Monday The

visitors being present

EPw oRrH LEAGUE ANNIvERsARY,

There are two great religious societies
for young people in America. the Society
of Christian Endeavor and the Epworth
League. The former is evangelical though
undenominational, the latter is within
and under the management of the Meth
odist church.
The Epworth League was organized May
ID, 1889, at Cleveland O.. and it's growth
has been phenomenal. 1t has now 5000
chapters, il is said, and a membership of
100000. 1t sus;ains the Epworth Herald,
a splendid weekly paper, which is devoted
exclusively to the interests of the league.
1t seems quite probable that the present
general conference of the church, now in
session at Omaha, will give the league Of
fetal recognition.
Last Sunday was the third anniversary
of the organization of the first chapter of
the league, and this event was celebrated
with appropriate exercises, Sunday even
ing, at the First NJ. Z. church.
The auditorium and lecture room were
packed with an appreciative audience.
Devotional exercises were conducted by
Rev. L. NJ. Hartley, pastor of the church,
and interesting responsive readings were
conducted by DR.. S. S, Noble, Mrs r. P.
Murdoch and Miss Lucie Stuckey, who
are vice presidents of the league.
H. s. McMichael the president. delivered
an address on the Relation of the League
to the Church" In brief and compact
speech he outlined the various lines of
work sought to be accomplished by this
new agency, and laid special stress on its
educational functions. "he speaker re-
ferred to the completeness of the organiza-
ton, its work in the local church, and it's
promise for the future. The address was
listened to with attention throughout.
Other especially attractive features of
the program were a vocal solo rendered by
Miss Mary Caldwell, two short recitatons
by the inimitable little Opal Street, paper
on Esther" by Miss Belle Steever, a most
excellent report of the Junior league by
Bert Weaver, recitation by Maggie Fam
ming. vocal solo by H. U. Stephens, and
the rendering of selection from Moore's
Paradise and the Peri" by Miss Blanche
Smith.
The Choral union of the First NJ. E.
Sunday school, chorus of twenty or thir-
ty voices, added greatly to the effect of the
congregational music. On the whole the
program was a good one, and the audience
was compliment to the speakers.
