THE LANCASTERIAN SCHOOL
PUPILS OF JOHN E. LOVELL DO
 HONOR TO HIS MEMORY.

Followed by a Banquet-Sone of Those
 Present.
 The annual meeting and reunion of the Lancasterian School association was held yesterday afternoon and evening and was attended by about fifty mem- bers and former pupils of John E. Low ell, for so many years the principal of the school. Yesterday was specially se- lected as the day on which to hold the meeting, as 1t was the one hundredth anniversary of the birthday of MT. Low ell.
 The company about fifty in number, met at Warner hall at o'clock and pro- ceeded in body to the cemetery, where they strewed the grave of their former friend and teacher with beautiful calla lilies and other cut flowers, literally making a bank of floral adornment.
 Rev. Dr. Edward o. Flagg, rector of Grace church, New York, was present and made the address. He was intro duced with a few appropriate remarks by x-Governor Henry B. Harrison. pr. Flagg eulogized In the most eloquent manner the life and work of MT. Lowell I as a teacher. He spoke in part as fol- lows:
 "He did not, like Plato and his asso- cictes of the academy, teach the older youth. He came in contact with youth young and fresh, quickening and 1nVlg- orating their intellectual life. suppose that there are very few who have ever surpassed him in the science of mental arithmetic By this he trained his pu- pills in quickness and alertness. We must remember, too, that he formed the early elocutionist and orator. He was an orator himself. The United States Speaker which he edited is monument to the excellence of his taste and selec- tion,
 "Mr. Lowell was a man who gained the love and the affection and good will of his boys. He was remarkable in this particular He came to this country bright, handsome young Eng lishman, fresh from Albion's soil, to throw his whole life into an American citizenship. This is not true of all who come among us. He threw away all na-
  ly incorporated as an American citizen
 And we to whom he did so much good should strive in every way Tn our power to perpetuate his memory. IL IS our duty as American citizens on all occasions to laud and eulogize the teach- CTS. Their memory is too often apt to be neglected. Other professional men are given their due need of praise, put it is especially desirable for us here in America, where the attitude of rulers is determined by the voters, that the teacher should be given his due place. For he has much to do with forming the character and opinions of the youth. Let it be known to all that we are to testify to the elevating influence of the teacher.
 "There were students at the school from the poorer classes As Lancaster did all in his power for poor scholars, so did Lowell. Says the classic writer, 'Sa- niens solus est liber' (The wise man alone Is free). This was one of the mot toes on the walls of the school. An- other that probably impressed itself on many of you was, Education is the twin sister of liberty We are here to-day to crown an uncrowned king, and I will close my remarks with the following lines:
 'Of kings not crowned the world may
 sometimes boast,
 Who are but subjects, though pos
 sessed of regal power;
 They nobly tower.
 The choice of Heaven OCT the inferior
 hosts.
 These peerless ones dn Heaven blest life
 abound;
 Dynancial within the limit of their
 sphere,
 By worth they rear
 Authority in despots never found"
 The company then marched from the cemetery to Stewards cafe, where the annual business meeting was held. The reports of the secretary and treasurer were read, and the same officers as last year were elected. It was voted to con- tinue the association, and have the next annual meeting in New Haven. The business meeting was followed by a banquet which was served by Caterer Stewart. It was a most enjoyable af- fair, and many of those present made speeches.
