Surprised Mrs. VIII Case.

The ladies of the Luther addition
in spite of the stormy weather last
Friday afternoon, made very pleas
ant surprise on Mrs. Will Case who is
about to move to the S. S. Smith
house. With well filed lunch baskets
they marched in upon her, although
she got slightly ratified at first soon
rallied nicely to the occasion. Tables
were arranged and finch was INDUCED
in until the afternoon hours began to
wane when Mrs. G. N. Foster in behalf
of the company presented her with a
silver meat fork.
Mrs. Foster spoke of the pleasure
of the meeting but that all regretted
the thought of loosing so good a
neighbor and true friend, of her NOV
ing there nine years ago bright and
beautiful bride, in coy home, and
lasting friendships formed in the
neighborhood. In closing Mrs Foster
said, "we hope you will try and be
with us as often as possible, and may
your life in coming years be as well
blest as in years gone by"
AS soon as the last word was spoken
and the gift presented, all joined in
singing, "Blest be the tie that binds. "
A very elaborate supper was served
to which all did justice. Miss Ger
trude Putnam gave some fine selec-
tions on the piano which were well
applauded and the company dispersed
voting a very pleasant afternoon

HONOR HIS MEMORY
Young Men Pay Tribute to
Virtue of the Boys Friend

Memorial exercises in honor OF the
late James M. Smith, s'the boys friend,
were held last night at the Central
Presbyterian church. The work, char
acter and life of Mr.. Smith were dis
cussed by several of his friends of the
church, and a large number OF young
men were present.
Rev Dr. J. NJ. Fulton, pastor OF the
church, presided, and spoke of Mr..
Smiths work among the boys. He
paid tribute to the self-sacrifice with
which Mr. Smith devoted himself to
the boys, looking after their welfare
and aiding them whenever they needed
assistance.
E. A. Webb. who was associated with
Mr.. Smith in the management of the
largest boys and young mems Sunday
school class in the United States, told
of how Mr.. Smith won the hearts of
boys and young men, by his earnest
ness and his love for them. He said
that Mr.. Smith was not content with
merely teaching the lesson on Sunday.
but took an interest in the boys during
the week.
HE made it a point to visit the
boys at their homes to learn their cir
cumstances. and he invited his boys to
come to- his place of business at any
time during the day" said Mr.. Webb.
when boy would come in he would
lay everything aside and would con-
verse with the lad in fatherly way.
If the boy needed advice Mr.. Smiths
counsel was ready, and if more mate
rial assistance was required, it was
not denied

Smith in organizing and conducting the

terrain church, paid a tribute to the

DIVIDES The SCHOOL
CentraIEiigh Classes TooLarge
for Single Assembly


DR.. Robinson, principal of Central
of students yesterday and outlined
some of the new rules made by the
faculty committee.
Owing to this large enrolment of
1925, it is impossible to hold the Gus
tomary assemblies on Fridays at which
all the students were required to be
present, so the committee decided to
hold two assemblies a week, one on
Wednesday and the other on Friday.
The school is to be divided into two
parts, each part to attend once a week.
The committee also arranged to have
an entertainment at each meeting, in
stead Of the customary lecture and es-
says. 1t was. decided that plays, de-
bates, receptions and tournaments
which have been given each year are
special privileges and that the stu
dents will have to petition for them
hereafter.
Essays which each senior is required
to give before graduation were put I'M
der the following rule:
The senior class is to be divided into
three parts, each part to be governed
by a teacher. The members of each
group will write essays and give them
to the teacher assigned. 1nfee JUDGES
will be appointed by the principal, and
these will judge the essays and select
thirty of the best, which will be read
by the writer's at the assemblies during
the term. Those showing ability as
speakers will be given a chance to
speak at the commencement exercises.
This plan is proposed so as to bring
those having ability to speak before
the public, whereas by the old plan
good scholars and not good speakers
were given the chance.
