OUR SCHOOL n COLLEGE COM
MENCEMENT.

Commencement week, the happiest
time in all the school and college year,
has come and gone, and the sweet girl
graduate, the youth with4the far away
yearning look in his eye, and the happy
undergraduates are with US no more
until the beginning of the school and
college year next fall. The school year.
which was fttingly closed with the
annual banquet by the alumni associa-
ton at the Wright House last Friday
night, has been a busy one for both
scholars and teachers. 1t has also been
a profitable one. While the opening OF
school next fall will witness many new
faces, among pupils as we'll as teachers
those who have been interested In the
work Just closed will always remember
their associates of 1908. During the
college year which closed last evening
with the presidents annual reception,
much has occurred that will strengthen
the friendship existing between the
students themselves. and also with the
members OF the faculty. 1t has been q
prosperous year for Alma college in
every way. The commencement exer-
cises this week have been the best, from
many points Of view, in the history OF
the institution.
The graduating class was the largest
in It's history, the interest manifested
by the patrons all over the state and the
citizens of Alma in general was greater
than ever before. The graduating class
of ten young men and eight young
women now 60 forth into the world,
some to seek higher education in other
fields, and the rest to take up their life's
work as they are, but they will always
remember their happy days of college
life as spent in Alma. May the success
OF Alma's educational institutions con-
time in the future as in the past, and
the work for God and humanity grow
from year to year.

Commencement Exercises of Alma College
Editor Record:
l purpose no general criticism or com =
ments on the varied exercises OF this
anniversary. l have nothing %unfavor-
able / could offer il l had the time and
inclination to do it. But / have at
tended the exercises OF one or two of the
departments where the proficiency and
perfection Of knowledge in their line,
and the ability to present It., constrains
me to make a public note concerning
one or two OF the graduates and their
essays.
The Kindergarten graduating exer
cises Tuesday, under Mrs. Plum, come
into one OF these departments. Without
detraction of merit from any n l will
take the responsibility to mention two,
viz Miss Parker and Miss Stewart, the
last on the program. / would say that
l have heard many addresses, orations,
sermons, essays and discussions OF and
upon most of the popular questions OF
the day, but / never before heard 80
thorough, complete and Instructive a
discussion of the topic, "Piay, a phase Of
Child Life" as was presented by Miss
Parker on this grad uating occasion.
The origin, or instinct Of that faculty,
inclination, was referred 10 as common
with both the animal kingdom and the
human race That it shows itself at the
earliest age Of the members of the ami
ma and human races, and is practically
useful, and absolutely necessary for the
highest and most perfect development
of the animal physically, and man both
physically and mentally.
This was presented in a perfectly com.
mitted essay without a glance at anu
script or note, a moments hesitation
for a word. Miss Stewards essay clos.
ing the exercises, was also good and fine
in matter and presentation. The others
were good without exception.
Mrs. Plum, who now leaves this coll
lege after eight years as principal
teacher and manager of the kinder.
garten department, will be remembered
by those who have received instruction
under her. with love and gratitude for
her faithful work and deep interest in
the reform method Of primary teaching
which has done 20 much to make the
primary school room pleasant and at.
tractive, rather than a prison house for
children. +. p.

THE state legislature closed its session
on Wednesday noon of last week, after
making every effort possible at the last
minute to revive the ghost of the pri-
mary reform bill, the bill TO elect L. s.
senators by popular vote, and the bill
t. establish a binder Irvine plant at the

futile. Rep. Holmes bill to regulate
