Trio" was rendered by Reuben May
err, John Lax and Willie De Salier.

darkies and sang use G'wine Back
to Dixie in a manner that elected
much applause.

ten, s. j., addressed the assembly,
expressing his satisfaction at the
progress of the pupils and at the eX-
cellent work that had been done in
all the grades during the past year.

children as evidenced by the large
number of pupils, POI, enrolled

Smiths" (Smith Is not the real name,
but 1t will answer for purposes OF il
lustration-) By reminding his children
of their ancestry he would impress
upon them the need of keeping the
family name stainless and passing 1t
on to those who come after shining
with added luster because of what they
themselves have wrought in the world.
And so, while In measure our
names are thrust upon us. we have q
great deal to do with making them
stand for something worth while.
There was time when the name
Abraham Lincoln carried no special
significance, when the mention of the
name Florence Nightingale touched no
other hearts to reverence and graft
tude. Your name may be little known
to-day and 1t may never be illustrious,
but you can constantly add to its dig
nifty and worth. you can make it sig
Nifty absolute sincerity, fidelity to small
and large responsibilities, consideration
of others, cheerfulness and strength Of
character.
The Bible makes a great deal of
names, both of the divine being and of
his human children. 1t presents many
beautiful pictures of the christening or
children, and one of its proverbs, "A
good name is rather to be chosen than
great riches" sums up the wisdom OF
the ages. Would you like to have the
mention of your name terrify and irri-
tate men, as the mention Of the name
Of .Attila, one Of the scourges of Eu-

ago? Would you not like to have the
mention of It give rise to gratitude. re-
