RRANCuvII.LE, September S.-Dr. Sctz-
ler's address last Tuesday evening on
" Education and the Future" was phe-
success, although the audience,
while an appreciative one, was not as
large as should have greeted such dis
speaker. DR.. A. T. Peete IN
introducing him expressed in simple and
beautiful but vigorous words his thoughts
ON the subject of education which created
a profound impression, and had telling
effect on his enthusiastic audience. DR..
Settlers lecture was model of consum-
mate art. His thoughts were fine and
beautiful and showed his massive and
polished intellect. His delivery was
grand and impressive and he treated his
subject in a vivid and picturesque but
plain and direct fashion. There was no
straining after rhetorical effect and his
copious vocabulary and perfect mastery
of the English language enabled him to
produce emotions upon his audience akin
TO that of listening to the strains OF
music which issue from full-toned
orchestra. His familiarity with the sub
ject, his fertility of resource and broad
and comprehensive views were plainly
visible in every thought he expressed and
showed him to be one with authority to
speak on such theme Absence of notes
will prevent us from commenting on the
subject matter of the address for fear We
will not do the full justice which it
merits.
