The seminary will close its fall term next
week ON Friday, and we think a most
profitable term has been enjoyed by the
pupils. The rhetorical exercises have
been especially good this term, as they have
been under the careful drill of Mrs Edge
comb, who has had charge of the differ
ent divisions, and they have been much en-
joyed by the citizens who attended these
exercises.
Prof. Call and wife and Miss Amy Perry,
who have taught our village schools this
fall, have already begun on the winter
term. These teachers have taught most
successfully. Prof. Call and wife were
well and favorably known among us as
former teachers for several years in our
seminary. 1t is now vacation from Mr.
Calls medical studies in Burlington, to
which he will return after the winter term
OF school here.
The Edisen moving picture show fell far
short of the testimonials, and those who
attended will have little faith in testimon-
ials in the future. 1t was held under the
auspices of the Congregational Aid society
and it is not very long since the Baptist
ladies' aid society were deceived in the
same manner by fattering testimonials.
We fear if anything worthy of patronage
should come along it would not receive
much attention.
The Literary society composed Of the
seminary students discussed the following
resolution at their last meeting: IRE
solved, That President Mckinley is moral
RIGHT ha hao fa1r In
spect to the Philippines" affirmative, Bur
bee and Thompson; negative, Blckford
and Hardy. 1t was decided in the mega
tive. There were recitations and special
music and it was one of the best meetings
the society has held during the term.
