evening last at 8 o'clock, in the
presence of an appreciative au-
diencc The order of exercises were
as follows: Opening prayer by Rev.
DIR, A. G. Hopkins address by Rev.
w. L. Gravatt, closing with the dis
tribution Of certificates to the stu
dents. Education was the subject
of Mr.. GraYatt's address, urging
very forcibly the necessity of high
schools to every community in the
interest of the greatest intellectual
development. The address was fol-
lowed by the distribution of certifi-
Gates by the Principal, DR.. R. X.
Meade. The scheme of marking
WAS explained to all interested, so
that the meaning OF certificates was
made clear, DIR. Meade and his as
sistant, Mr., Warner, have earned the
reputation of being able instructors,
and the pupils of the Academy, as
we learn, have advanced rapidly I'M
der their teaching.
