in elocution will form part of the
course next term.
Some time during the winter term there
will be prize declamations. Two gentle
men, whose names are withheld for the
present, have offered prizes.
A letter from Leamon E. Moore, the
late sub-principal of the high school,
who is now in Colorado for his health,
contains pleasing news to his many
friends and to the school students, who
unite in wishing for him speedy re-
covery.
Prof. Dresser is at work on report of
the school rank and the standing Of the

Highest Of all in Leavening Powe
Sunday School Concert.

Last Sunday evening the Sunday school
of the Congregational church held a
Thanksgiving or Harvest concert in the
church.
The church was used in the evening for
the first time since being wired for light
ing by electricity. There are three groups
of lamps-one in the centre, one over he
pulpit, and one over the organ loft. In
all there are twenty-four 32-candle power
lamps in the auditorium, and the effect
was excellent. Many regrets were ex-
pressed that c. M. Green, who generously
| bore a large part of the expense of the
work, was not present to enjoy the sight.
The church and pulpit were tastefully
decorated with evergreen, Mrs. c. R.
Foster and Mrs. G. A. Parcher being the
committee for the day on decoration.
The centre of the church was reserved
for the school. The rest of the seats were
well filled. At 7oclock, Immediately fol-
lowing the organ voluntary, the school
marched into the church, having formed
in the vestry, down the centre aisle sing
ing "Onward, Christian Soldiers" as
sisted by the choir.
Marching into the church and to their
seats is an inspiring feature of Sunday
