On last Wednesday evening the
CLOSING
of the Goth year of Lexington high school
took place at Hagen's opera house. At
an early hour the crowd began to fill the
house, and at the appointed time for the
exercises to begin there were but few
IL any,, vacant seats in the auditorium.
The old opera house had been transform
ed from its every day appearance to a
scene of beauty. Cut and pot flowers,
flags and bunting had been SO Hastily

appearance.
The exercises were opened by the
orchestra, which played a beautiful

number of distinguishing qualities from
the other, but they were not equal in
character.
Character, he claimed, could never be
fully defined till we add to ones distin-
gushing characteristics the idea of good
or bad with the power to execute. ED
Goode said that thought and character
were related; no thought, no character.
The kind of thought determined the kind
of character. He quoted from Proverbs,
23-7 to substantiate this. "As a man
thinketh in his heart so il he &c" lie
paid a glowing tribute to Martin Luther
as an example of true, genuine character.
Elder Goodies lecture was full OF belu-
tiful illustrations, and was well received.
1t was a pleasing and an instructive
address.

Superintendent Demand then arose to

! His address was brief, but every word TO
the point. He spoke of public schools as
the safeguards of liberty, and urged the
graduates to be loyal to their country,

JUDdE FIELD.
A correspondent to the Sedalia Demo-
crat, who was against the scheme to make
Pettis county a judicial circuit after mar
rating his objections, has this to say:
Another objection, though personal in
character. presents itself very forcibiy,
and which is the ge nuine regret IL occa'
lion all parties 10 sever official relations

bility.
Judge Field is not only q competent
lawyer, but he has the judicial tact aud
instinct, a quality born and not made,
presiding with patience. dignity and utter
impartiaiity, and winning at the same
time golden opinions from all sorts OF
people.

Official, has been characterized by such
uniform courtesy and'rectitude that he Is
q universal favorite with the people of
this, his native county, and no man OF
either party could probably defeat him for
reelection to the Office he has held for
Two terms with SD much credit to himself.
Even the republicans at their last con
vention recommended him to the voters
Of their party for reelection, and would
probably have nominated hin outright
but for the opposition of two or three
delegates who desired to be distinguished
among their fellows as sticklers Tor party
fealty and party etiquette.

In honoring L~exington's educational
institutions, that bulwark of l~iberty-the
public schools-must receive a large
share OF attention and praise.
Schools, like indi viduals, are judged by
what they do-a standard of merit, so to
speak.

The "old commencement, she thought,
was a back number, and believing
this, the High schools had ushered In a
was for the pleasure OF the audience, and
not for the personal glory Of the gradu-
ates. She said this was the day of mental
study aud mental growth. In the days
gone by the methods were hard study and
mental excitement. Miss Russell's address
was well worded and contained some
beautiful thoughts.
After q selection by the orchestra,
superintendent Demand introduced Elder
g. NJ. Goode, the orator of the occasion.
The Speaker look for his subject "The
Mission OF Thought in Building Charac-
ter" He said: "Victor Hugo was once
asked what the world most neededf He
answered more light by which he
meant: a. Better education. (2) Wider
knowledge Of ones self-of man-his sur-
roundings, his powers, possibilities and
destiny, etc. AT a time like this the ques-
tion can be asked with great propriety.
The answer l give is: Men and women of
true aud genuine character; leaders in
that which is right 10 every relationship.
They are needed at Washington, in Ken
lucky, ia st. Louis, at Jefferson City, here
and everywhere In the wide, wide world"
Elder Goode then spoke at length upon
character. He said it had been defined to
be that which a man was and not what he
seemed to be. He criticised this defini-
ton, and thought it declared hat there is
a difference between what a man Is In
himself, and what he is in q community;
that he kept something at home which
was either better or worse than that
which he brought to the market Of public
consideration. The speaker knew nc other
way to determine what a man is except by
what he does. Every genedation has had
problems to solve in the realm of moral
reform, aud that there always were three
parties: ~ Those On the right side. (2)
Those on the wrong side. (3) Those who
were non-committai. The speaker said
that another definition of character was:
The sum OF ones distinguishing charac-
teristics. etc." He said this was not a
good definition, and illustrated his point
by referring to the two Emersons.

Lexington is a city OF schools. She is
rightly called the .Athens'' of this inn
p,rial state, for go where you will, you
cannot find n more cultured citizenship,
n Or as fine schools. or as many OF them.
Lexington, with her three colleges and
her excellent academy, alone, might claim
to be the "Athens," and have a>well bass d
claim, at that. But this city has some
thing more than these-the finest and best
High school n the best regulated public
schools in Missouri, outside Of the W
large cities. When we say this, we know
what we say, and say 1t only for the pur-
pose Of paying to the management OF an
institution a tribute il has earned by
jealous labor in behalf Of an appreciative
public school patronage.
The success OF our public n High
schools is due, irst-To the fact that our
citizens take sufficient interest in them to
elect a board of education whose watch

Is to merit the encomium, ''well DONE"
Second-To the fact that these schools
have been provided with excellent build

The board OF education is composed Of
Messrs. c. g. Ludwigs, Thomas John,
