"Wednesday evening, at the Broad
way building the eighth grade pupils.
for the first time in the history of our
schools held regular graduating exer-
clses, and were presented by President
Perkins with diplomas. This proceed
Ing has been inaugurated as stimulus
and incentive to children who do not
care, and drop out of school and tall be-
bind others Of their own age simply for
want of ambition, and because their
parents or guardians do not insist upon
regular attendance. There are children
who attend school so irregularly that
they never pass III their examinations,
and consequently stay term after term
III the same grade, and the teacher is
blamed, while in fact the child and the
parents are to blame. We trust that
the eighth grade diploma will meet the
needs in the case, and after children
have worked UP to that grade they will
be ambitious to continue i'll the school
until they finish high school work.
We wish to acknowledge a card of
invitation from President Mcneil of
the Superior Normal, to the graduation
and closing exercises of the school
which take place during the time from
June 2I TO the 9th, most Of the time
being occupied in final examinations,
receptions to friends and graduates,
and finally the commencement e1er-
ciscs which will be held June 9th at 10
O'Clock in the assembly room. This
will bring to a finish a very successful
first years work, and We congratulate
one and all upon the high standard al
ready attained. Most Of the graduates
from both the elementary and full
course have been engaged as teachers,
while many who have not yet finished
have been successful applicants for
work, which proves conc.usively that
though a new school, the grade of work
done is equal to the best and oldest
Normal Next year 1t is expected that
many more pupils viii join the classes.

stocks had been advanced to some extent
in anticipation OF the message and there
was some expectation that its pubica-
ton would be met by a decline caused by
realizing sales. But the market held fairly
steady after its publication until rand
