Olen Miller in his subject, Hero
Worship" began with the idea that
all men are hero worshippers and that
we are very likely in our alteration to
overlook the fact that many humble
and unknown ones, who are true to
their position and trust, deserve equal
praise with those, who, placed under
more favorable circumstances, re-
ceive public honor.
Miss Esther Larkin presented in her
description of 'Village Life" many of
the peculiarities of the village life in
our own and other lands, which was

lean spirit, emphasized the necessity
and genuine worth of mental and ply

world, idlers are not in demand.
Each member of the class deserved
and received the commendation and
admiration of the audience. The ad-
dress by Hon. Thos. Marchant, of
Washington G. H., with its profitable
suggestions and advice to the class,
