by the school.
The program taken all IN all, was
the highest ever attempted by tne
school and was rendered successfully
in every respect.
Nothing perhaps created more in

was upon which should the negro
put greater stress-Industrial Educa-
tion or Literary Education?" 1t was
very intelligently discussed on both
sides. The contestants were A j

negative. The browning event of the

His subject was THE Progress of
Education and It's Practical Charac-

added to woman's burden it becomes al

cheerful or hopeful who is dragged down

to overcome if the earlier symptoms are
given proper attention But if allowed to
go unchecked they are liable to develop
into serious chronic complications.
Any woman afflicted with these delicate
ailments ought to have the immediate aid
