PUPILS SHOWED MORAL COURAGE.
The closing exercises of No. s School on
Sherman avenue proved very enjoyable.
Principal Hoyt addressed the pupils, saying
among other things, when the
school first opened Superintendent
O1IdC was III oLANA pOA~
gu that a number of those who registered
would not stay the term out. 1t is true a
large number did leave, but [ am glad to
see that so many of you have remained,
and I know you do not regret doing SO. l
can tell you the reason why the others did
not continue coming. In the first place, they
did not have sand or moral courage enough
in them to stay. Secondly, the attractions
outside were more to their taste, as they were
probably in the habit of loafng around gin
mills, and to be shut up in a school room for
an hour or SO would be like prison to them.
Thirdly, some of them thought that they
could AVE a picnic in the school, but | soon
taught them that this was no picnic ground,
and in a week after the school opened ali
the chat had blown away, and only the good
stock remained, and the only person who
has had a picnic is the officer who sits down
stairs. l congratulate you on the good work
you have done. 1t shows that you all have
had moral courage. 1t is a pleasure to me to
teach such ladies and gentlemen as you, for
you have all worked lard and deserve every
bit of the assistance hat the teachers and |
have given YOU" The testimonials were
then distributed, after which Mr.. George
Shaw delivered a verv interesting address.
The pupils of the First Glass presented
Mr.. Hoyt with an elegant Russian leather
wallet. Miss Lewis received a leather trav-
cling bag, Miss Reville a gold pen, with a

gold pen, with a mother of pearl handle, II
Miss Miegel a silver tea set.
