Friday afternoon the pupils of the
Eighth grade and their parents assem-
bled in room Is of the Lowell school
to hear very instructive talk from
Professor Eaton of the High school.
The various courses of study were
taken up and discussed in such a man
ner as to aid the boys and girls in their
choice of a course. From the life of a
High school, the speaker proceeded to
college life, dwelling on the different
phases. The modern college, instead of
, sending a student out broken in health,
sends him out in the great majority
of cases materially improved in physic-
al condition. Professor Eaton showed
clearly how this is done, and urged
from all standpoints the value of high
er education.
