Education an Essential Element in
leadership" This was one Of the most
thoughtful and inspiring addresses ever
heard In Scottsboro.
Saturday evening at o'clock the pu-
pills of the music department gave
recital. This was a very pleasing fea-
ture of the commencement exercises, and
displayed the great progress that the
pupils of the department have made dur
ing the year. At the close of the even
ing's exercises the medals and prizes
were awarded. At the beginning of the
year the Board of Trustees offered gold
medal to the advanced pupils of the
music department. This was so closely
contested for during the year by Misses
Luella Butler and Vickie Kyle that at
the close of the years work the record
showed a tie. and so 1t was decided to
award a medal to each. The prize Of
fered by the principal of the department
Mrs Mary c. Ivy. to the Intermediate
pupils was awarded to Miss Annie ID
Jacobs. The prize offered to the primary
pupils was won by Miss Ethel Tarpiey.
Hon. Virgil Bouldin, with that ease and
grace characteristic Of him, presented
the prizes making few appropriate
remarks

ter awarding the prizes, read the follow

Sunday morning at II O'Clock in the
institute Chapel DR.. A. b. Campbell of
Troy delivered the commencement SER
mon He chose as his text las arrows are
in the hands of a mighty man, so are the
children of the youth" The sermon was
very appropriate for the occasion and
was filled with inspiring and hopeful
thoughts for the young.
The commencement exercises were sue
cessful throughout and were very COM
mandatory to the Institute.
Sunday evening at the Institute Chapel
DIR. Sheeburne preached a very fine SER
mon to the young people, His text was
from Psalms, 94th chapter and fourth
verse: "Wherewithal shall a young
man cleave his way? BY taking heed
thereto according to thy word His dis
course was divided into three heads-In-
dustry. Worship and Culture. He showed
the young people the Importance of cul-
tivating industrious habits, Of religious
training and the improvement of the
mind. He gave the young folks some
good and timely advice.
The first session of the Scottsboro Bap-
tist Institute was successful and the
friends of the institution predict bril-
liant opening next fall.
