THE LECTURE

A large and appreciative audi
ence attended the lecture by DR..
Phillips, at the school house in
Springfield last Friday evening.
After entertaining the young
people, in a humorous way for a
short time, the DR.. delivered his
lecture, "The goth Century Ed
ucation, which was scholarly,
instructive and entertaining as
was evidenced by the rapt at
tention with which it was re-
ceived.
This was the third lecture
which Supt. Jones has secured
for the people of this county in
the past 18 months, and they
have all been elevating and in
structive, and a treat to all who
heard them.
The room was beautifully dec
Grated in the class colors by
some of the 9th grade pupils and
their friends. At the conclusion
of the lecture the graduates took
their places upon the platform,
presenting an appearance of
which the parents and teacher
may justly feel proud. Supt.
Jones gave short but well pre-
pared address to the seven grad
yates and then presented each
of them with a diploma.
The graduates and their teach
ers deserve a great deal of credit
for the thoroughness of the work
just completed.
