TALKING TO
THE ] PUPILS.

The Wilmington High School on
each Monday has royal good time.
The devotional services yesterday
were conducted by the Rev, Aft ed
Smith Of Epworth M. u. Church.
DR.. William II. Logan, financial
secretary Of Wilson College, Chambe rs
burg, Pa. was also present. He de-
liyered brief address in which he
urged the students to get from tn cir
attendance at the High School two
things as fundamentals! ODE dience
and respect for constituted aut hority
and the habit and power to think.
The prompt and cheerful recognition
of authority vested in the teacher
will add amazingly to the comfort
and pleasure of school life, and form
a firm foundation for character. The
habit of thinking correctly and to .
purpose should be the sole object OF
The students work. 10 be lost in
study, to have the ability to center
the whole thought on tudy for IL
lime, and the power of reflection can
be acquired by all who concentrate
themselves upon the tasks at hand.
The facts gained from study are not
the most important thing; the asso-
piation of mind with mind is tar more
important, and its tonic effect is the
greatest benefit Of school life.
Professor Berlin proppunded these
questions to the High School:

2--What is meant by the L. Il. VS.?

8-Who is mayor of Wilmington?
9--Wby is glass used TO fasten tele-
graph wires to the poles?
lO-In what direction does the
sharp end Of an apple seed point?
Many of the answers are decidedly
original; others show the effect of i'm
perfect enlnciatiun, and pronuncia-
tion, and of the association of ideas,
which lead to many amusing errors.
