The first commencement exercises
ever held in Concord drew big crowd
to the Corner schoolhouse, Wednesday
evening, June 2Sth. and all seemed
greatly pleased with the exercises. Di-
plomas were conferred upon the primary
and intermediate classes, eleven pupils
in each. The Rotations were we'll
chosen and creditably delivered. Songs
by the Longfellow school. and Florence
Raymond and clifton Higgins pleased
the audience greatly. Following these
exercises came box sociable and ice
cream sale. Supt. Ball acted as auction
eer of the boxes and at times the bid
ding was lively, some boxes being sold
as high as a dollar. Fifty,two boxes
were sold and the net proceeds of the
evening were nearly 1922. This will be
used to provide needful appliances for
the school at Concord corner. The sue
cess of these frat graduating exercises
was especially gratifying to the friends
of the new educational movement in
this town and gives them new courage
for the future. The teachers, Victoria
B. Miller and Marianne Hanan of Bing-
ham, and Ellen NJ. Whitney of Moscow,
have worked very conscientiously and
with increasing skill and effect. Miss

Because he did not know that there is

one or two friends spoke to me about
them. In the fall of 1903 began to take

Two of the younger donS, growing
rather Jealous of the masters reputa-
ton for omniscience, determined that
they would discover something of
which he knew nothing. They pitched
upon the subject of Chinese music.
How should be know anything about
1t? They did not. SO they went to an
encyclopedia and read the subject up.
The next time they met Whewell at
a dinner party they led the conyersa-
ton gradually in the direction of mu-
sic, when they began to discourse upon
the music of the Chinese and gave cut
all their recently acquired information.
Whewell was silent. much to their
satisfaction. Evidently he knew moth
Ing about the matter. But just as they
were beginning to rejoice in their tri-
umph he said;
Might l ask, gentlemen, where you
got your information?"
"Oh yes" they replied. I'VE picked
