extend our earnest thanks for his eloquent
and instructive addresses. His presence
has been source OF pleasure and profit

Each of the instructors occupied a
few minutes in farewell addresses to
the teachers. We would not do
justice to any one did we fail to give
the highest praies to the excellent
address of our dear old exec. Supt.
Martin. In his talk on Language"
he well proved that ideas may be
strong in youth, vigorous in man

old age.
Supt. Becht then read the follow
ing letter from Supt. +. W. Mey-
lert:

with the presiding officer and am pleased
to know the institute has proven to be
unusually interesting and satisfactory, and
now, at its closing hour, | desire to ex-
press my heartfelt gratitude to the teach
