iutendent OF Pabhc instruction, was
then introduced and gave one Of the
most able addrt IS IL has ever been our
pleasure 60 listen too. Much time aud
space could be occupied IN simply com
menting upon his timely and well di-
rected remarks but we can only pick
from the many good things said, but a
few thoughts The principal subject of
his address was The 2)th Century
Boy. He told the class they were soon
20 llIn the III. 800 teachers III our state
who had under their instruction 200, 600
children How important II was that
they should be well prepared. de said
we are living i'm wonderful age; the
greatest except the one which gave Us
Christ and the christian religion. The
greatest thing In the world, in his Opin
ion, is The 2Oth Century Boy Girls,
ne said, are more enlerprising in fitting
themselves for the duties of life, and are
therefore able TO take care OF themselves
Il i the boy who must be properly
looked after and started right, and he
Will then be able 20 look after the girls
The instructions TO the boy should b.
by things, more than words; do not
compel him 10 remain long III close con.
fiuement; do not talk much 10 hun, but
much with him. Awaken his senses 60
his own individuality teach him that
the man who has power OF memory 10
recognize, aud who is quick 10 express
his thoughts, becomes "A power among
his fellow men. Teach the boy g. never
despise labor. The carpenter IN his
workshop expressing his thoughts aud
Ideas by the use of his tools, Is entitled
70 as much respect as the lawyer who
expresses his thoughts and ideas upon a
brief which Is often times, used 10 warp
the minds of twelve of his Cnuntrymen
into rendering verdict that is neither
Law nor Justice. Begin right with the
child, as II will without doubt toe the
great secret Of his success IN life. The
exercises closed with a very pleasing
solo entitled, AN Open Secret by Miss
Berdelia b Conat There were thirteen
young ladies in the class and we under
stand that nearly all have secured posi-
tions for the coming school year.
