ScnOOl department was favored by a
call and address from Rev. GRADER,
school inspector from Australia. Mr..
GRADER spoke in u very interesting
manner, of his early school life, and
of schools in Australia He highly
commended the methods used in our
schools, and in his closing remarks
spoke IN part as follows:
Whatever you learn, let il be to
equip you for life. Take advantage
of your educational course; endeavor
to impress on your minds that which
you read, so firmly that it may not be
forgotten. No doubt you have for
gotten much. You may have studied
for the time being only and after a
short time you have forgotten all.
But your learning must not be simply
book learning. Turn theory into
practice. Mach may be learned from
books, but it will be of little avail to
you if you cannot put it to practice.
If your learning be to equip you for
life it will not be time lost, and YOU
may be certain to look upon your
school days as the happiest time of
your life.'

school department was entertained in

very pretty lullaby. Mr.. Allen Urea
accompanied by Miss Jones, gave
selection on the violin, which was
followed by the class poem delivered

Our Freshman class broke the ice
of silence Tuesday morning. Just as
the gong sounded they marched into
the room and saluted their class
colors, blue and white, symbolizing
loyalty and purify which had been
artistically arranged the night before.
\ beautiful red carnation, the class
flower, topped the main desk. Their
class song was well rendered and the
exercises were conducted smoothly
and quickly. Although the Freshmen
are the youngest class they are not to
be ignored. They are strong class
and will be heard from again.
