CLOSING SESSION OF THE
INSTITUTE OF INSTRUCTION.

TSe closing session OF the Rhode Island
Institute of Instruction was held I'm the
hall of the English high school on sum
mer street THIS morning.
The audience was much smaller than
at the previous sessions. probably be-
cause OF the fact that the faithful" were
somewhat fatigued after their conscien-
tious attendance upon the many sessions
OF the institute during the past two days.
The exercises OF the morning were
opened with Scripture reading and prayer
by Rev. Rennetts c. Miller, pastor of the
Hope street Methodist church
Following the devOtinal exercises Presi-
dent Kingsley introduced Mr.. Ossian Ia.
Lang, editor of the New York School
Journal who delivered a most scholarly
address upon The Common School as a
Social Centre"
Mr.. Lang spoke I'm brief as follows:
The proudest educational achieve
ment OF the nineteenth century Is. no
doubt, the establishment of the free com
mon school as the chief agency for the
education OF the people.
1t represents, moreover. the most
benencent and the most strikingly char
acteristic of America X contributions 10
civilization and is a monument OF the
practical recognition OF the dependence of
the common good upon education. The
foundations upon which IL IL built are the
eternal principles OF humanity and uni
sersal brotherhood. We have only lust
begun 10 appreciate the sublime signii-
cance OF it's conception.
"Vistas and vistas OF inanite possibilities
open before Us when we contemplate the
scope and logical outcome OF the en-
deat ors already mada under It's auspices.
AS the expression of peoples faith IN
education and It's determination 90 secure
10 everyone whatever his social or econ
omic condition the advantages Of a sys-
tematic elementary education. the Ameri-
can common school stands unequaled"
After giving reasons for the advocacy
or constant effort toward closer adjust
nent OF differences IN the educational on
portunities necessary for the preparation
or earning an honest livelihood, Mr.
Lang continued:t
