Children's Day was observed in the
Congregational church last Sunday
The house was well filled in spite of the
rain. The parts We're well rendered and
very pleasing especially the singing by
the children.
The schools in town closed Friday.
The village and South schools taught by
Miss Jessie Collins and Miss Nellie DAN
iels invited their scholars together with
the parents and friends to picnic to
Lake Hortonia. Although the weather
was threatening in the morning, large
company assembled at the picnic house
and after partaking of bonutiful dinner,
the boats were constantly in demand.
The little people report the best kind of
a time and the children of larger
growth declared the day just right for a
picnic and the picnic success.
The schools in the north part of the
town, taught by Miss Eta Costello and
Miss Agnes Treadway, were to close with
a picnic in the woods Friday, but as the
day began looking so much like rain,
Mrs. E. S. Webster, who has taught the
last few weeks of Miss Treadway's school,
owing to her ill health invited them all
to her home. A very pleasing program
was carried out, dialogues, recitations
and etc. by the children and piano and
violin music by older ones present.
About fifty people partook of dinner
at tables set under the trees and all
enjoyed the day thoroughly.

1t is not easy to duplicate an eXcep-
tional success, but Professor Pearson did
it at the congregational church last
Monday night, when he set his interpre
tation of Paul Laurence Dunbar over
against the Interpretation of James Whit
comb Riley that he gave us Il year ago.
The audience to which he spoke was
thoroughly representative: the college
was there, the town was there and the
alumni and other commencement Wis
tors added to the number of delighted
listeners. 1t was an audience too, i'll
sympathy with the speaker from the
outset and enthusiastic in its expression
of pleasure as one good thing followed
another to the very close of the hour.
In Mr.. Parsons work, brain and
heart are admirably balanced; there is
subtle, though simple, analysis mingled
with no less subtle appreciation, and
thought and feeling find full expression
in voice that proves a ready servant
The recital devoted to Dunbar is more
than portrayal of the gifted poet, vivid
though that portrayal is; it is presen-
tation of the negro nature in all its
picturesqueness and possibility with
Dunbar as the exponent in art of its
Joys and SORROWS, its life and love and
longing. One comes away with height
ened respect for race that can produce
a man speaking forth so melodiously
what the very heart of it means.
Mr. Pearson's art is uniformly delight
full He touches 1.-THE tender stops of
various quilts" and always with the
sure hand of master. 70 many of his
hearers the range Of the Dunbar poetry
was a revelation, sweeping as it did in
the selections read, from the humor Of
pure fun to the humor lying near the
source of tears; from the sereneness of
THE Poet and His Song to the grim
tragedy of "The Haunted Oak" 1t was
an evening of rare enjoyment and we
are Nh Parsons debtors.

Corporation Dinner.

The annual corporation dinner was
served to all the alumni of this and
other colleges at the Addison house
after the graduating exercises. The
Rev. Thomas Simms returned thanks,
after which most excellent dinner was
discussed. Doring's orchestra furnished
music during the entire meal.
At the post prandial exercises Presi-
dent Brainerd presided. He remarked
at some length upon the co-educational
problem which the college is now at
tempting to solve. He said that the
trustees were a unit in desiring women
to have the highest advantages of edu-
cation, and that they were still acting
in good faith in regard to the founding
of a woman's college in connection with
the mems. The president paid a high
tribute to the character of the women
who had attended this college. He then
introduced DIR. Barton a member of the
board of trustees
Mr.. Barton also discussed the POSSIBLE
ity of establishing a woman's annex.
He congratulated the faculty and
students upon the amiable relations of
all connected with the college.
