great teachers, observation, reason,

all our life. The school in which they
have their place is the school of hu'
man life and human society Character
is very largely moulded from its SUI =
roundings, the influence of othess ana
personal effort. In the building up or
manhood and womanhood, the teacher
in the public school faces grave re
sponsibility and assumes duties which
are beyond question a part of his op-
legation, but his obligations in this re-

training of the mind of the student IN
the walks of learning, are divided with

into that same sharp, keen COMPETE
ton now found in every branch of ac-
tive life.
AS you scatter among the people to
follow the various vOcatiOns, do r5t
be disappointed if your requirements
are taken as a matter of course, for
like most essentials the possession eX-
cites no particular comment, but their
lack will be sure to attract attention.
l presume a considerable portion Of
this class will seek a life of labor in
some of the various fields of human
endeavor striving TO gain not only
livelihood but a competence. The first
element of success is usefulness If Of
value to a business or community, you
are in a position to command COM
mensurate recOmpense. The world will
make a pretty accurate appraisal Of
your work, and while you may think
the market is rather bearish, so far as
your qualifications are concerned, and
while the element of circumstances IN
tiers somewhat into the affairs Of man,
still the valuable qualities of man are
appreciated and paid for.
Sound sense, correct balance, good
Judgment, honesty and industry, are
as scarce and valuable today Is ever
they were. Learned persons may ct
tract attention and procure a chance
to develop their capabilities sooner
than others, but against actual useless
ness, a diploma is no protection.

COL. HOPKINS ADDRESS.
Speaks on Observation, Reason and Con-

Col. w. S. b. Hopkins received an
ovation as he stepped to the front of
the platform He said in substance:
Restate and amplify it as much as
we may. it is impossible TO exaggerdle
the wonderful changes that have come
to light in the last half of the 18th
century.
Discovery and science. and the me-
chanical application in art have rev.
oIutionized the times in so years.
It must be admitted that this age is
largely, one of special training, the
great danger of which is, that it
moulds youth and adults into special
lines of thought and grooves of con-
duct. Vast advantages that counter
balance this defect, if it be a defect
tend strongly to reconcile every one to
this tendency Of the age.

Seth Richards, for many years con-
ductor of the musical part of the pro-
grams, would be unable to officiate dur
ing the day. owing to illness. Charles

by the members of the high schools was
excellent.

Gluck, was given by the chorus dur
ing the graduation exercises of both
schools, and Gounod's Praise we the
Father" was rendered with excellent
harmony. Mrs. Daniel Downey sang
