with Mrs. Hasselquist, in the
strong position she took that

The closing address by Prof.

was fitting climax to such an
interesting conference - filled
with goodly advice to parents; to
the boys and girls: to the young

his stay was short, by his very
pleasing manner and through his
eloquent and scholarly addresses
he readily won many friends and
admirers who will gladly vel

Much credit is due to Rev.
Roush for the splendid work he
did in and out of the conference.
He fully demonstrated his execu.
tive ability in presiding over the
conference. His keen perception
overlooked nothing. He impress
ed all with his earnest devotion
to his work.
Thanks are also due to the peo

hospitality and the readiness
with which they responded to the
solicitations for entertainment fo1
the guests.

put forth to make the conference
