The Thursday morning course of lect-
ures before the Gorham Normal school
was inaugurated last year and which
proved so successful, has lead to the
arranging for similar course for this
year. The lecturers for this course are
invited by an executive committee COM
posed of representatives from each class.
The committee for this term is as fol-
lows: Miss Mary Rounds, North Water
ford, chairman Miss Gale, Intervale, N.
H.; Miss Ethel CIoudman, Westbrook;
Miss Maria Seabury, Yarmouth; Miss
katherine Merrill, Old town; Miss A my
Rowe, Wells; Miss Nellie f. Stone, Otis
field; Miss Estelle Damon, Eastport. The
course was conspicuously opened yester-
day morning with an exceedingly in
terest'ng and profitable discourse by the
Rev. Vim. Cashmere OF Gorham. The
speaker showed first that the highest pos
sible civilization is conditional upon
the harmonious development Of moral
and intellectual activity, and second.
the great responsibility OF the public
school through it's teacher in bringing
about such civilization. The address
was SO inspiring that it is to be hoped
that an opportunity OF hearing it may
be given to more OF the teachers of the
state.
