CARLISLE FITTING SCHOOL.

CARLISLE FITTING SCHOOL.
The Annual Commencement Exercises
of this Institution.
, | The commencement exercises OF the
Carlisle Fitting School took place last
Friday and Saturday evenings, and, as
usual, was attended by a large crowd.
The exercises this year were more inter-
esting than formerly, as this has been the
most prosperous year in the history OF
the school. The attendance has been
larger than ever, and the work done du-
ring the school year has been of the most
{ satisfactory character. In fact, the board
!; ing halls have been uncomfortably crowd
ded. and another hall for the boys Is
badly needed. The work of the school
will be seriously handicapped without
another hall, and it is hoped that another
will be built during the summer and be
ready for occupancy when the fall session
commences.
Last Friday evening was the occasion
of the

theme, Expansion" Not material ex-
pansion, but expansion of the body,
mind, soul. The person, old or young,
who ceases to study, begins to decay; he
who ceases to get better, must become
worse. There is no ground of inaction,
inactivity. To 60 forward, never to be
satisfied with present knowledge, present
achievement, should be the aim of youth
and of manhood.
