the joy that filed the heart. Closing remarks
by Miss Josephine Gushing Newell, daughter
of Mrs Newell teacher in the high school.
She is not more than eight years old but her
remarks were uttered clearly and were to the
point. She thanked Mr. and Mrs. Tome for
the school and all the instructors for their
kindness, closing by wishing all a pleasant
summer and with the hope of meeting in the
fall. Tuesday morning the rest of the school
met at chapel and after the first prayer to the
surprise of all who were not in the secret,
Hugh Caldwell arose and said they all wanted
to express their pleasure because Prof Camp
! bell was going to continue with them and
then he led off with the institute yell and
such "a shout | am sure was never heard in
this town. Then their beloved Director arose
/ expressed his surprise and pleasure and told
them to give another for Mr.. and Mrs. Tome
and their instructors; after the echo died
away he said, once again for Miss Houser,
4 Miss sheldon and our efficient book clerk,
Miss Gerry and they did it right Justify.
All crowded around eager to press the hand
of Prof. Campbell and express the joy they
felt because they were not to lose him. Few
people can endear themselves to all, as has
this man and his family. Added to his ability
as a director, he is an upright Christian man.
Cooking, stenography, typewriting, science
and probably one or two other studies will be
taught especially this fall. Pupils over eigh.
teen will have lessons during school hours, to
all others regardless of age instruction will be
given in the evening. They will have to pay
a very small sum for this, and should send
their application at once. Many of our town
who have been debarred from school because
of the age limit will gladly avail themselves Of
this privilege. The parents are bringing their
children from all around the country fol-
examination, so they can be entered for the
| fall term.
