On Tuesday, Sept. 30, the High
school department was favored by a
call and address from Rev. GRADER,
school inspector from Australia. Mr..
GRADER spoke in a 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: c O
"Whatever you learn, let it 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
short time you have forgotten all.
But your learning must not be simply
book learning. Turn theory into
practice. NJ Ich 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 TO
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
a most pleasing manner, by the Jun

Misses Jones and knight, followed by
roll call, and Miss Hutchinson present.

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

of the class.
Mr.. Jas. Hutchinson and Mr.. f.

come visitor here Tues lay morning.
He made a few practical remarks to
the Physics class on the preparation
for after life which were we'll received
by the students. This is Mr.. Hard

hope it will not be the last.
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 purity which had been
artistically arranged the night before.
A beautiful red carnation, the class
flower, topped the main desk. Their
class song was we'll rendered and the
exercises were conducted smoothly
and quickly. Although the Freshmen
are the youngest class they are not to
be ignored. They are a strong class
