affair as electric lights, vast as
semblage and the charming en-
yironment Of Whitworth College
could make it. Hon. M. McCuI-
Tough and DIR. /. w. Cooper spoke
able words Of welcome, while Pro-
fessor A. FL. Elicit, of Blue Noun

part of the teachers IN a delight
fully appropriate manner. Punch
was served from great bowls on
the campus and the decorations
aud u i spirits of The cuaFiVial
crowds all partook of the festivity
of the hour.
Prof. Elicit is literally carrying
the Normal with him. The astute
Professor is a widower; and the
great majority of teachers are
ladies. This fact may add to his
popularity; but doesn't alter the
further fact that all Brookhaven
should hear the Professor in bis
lectures on United States History
and Ciyics. He is a superb por-
Itrayer of history and profound
thinker.

"a parsonage less imposing il

fieant. The soboolmaster is

More clearly than in the early
part OF the century when Lord
Brougham gave utterance to the
fabove, has the profound truth oil
lit been made plain. Most truly
may it be said in this present day
and time that it is not by might
NOR by power, but by sheer force
Iof intellect that the world and all
that is therein, is ruled and con-
trolled and upllfted. The prime
factor in the great wave Of pro-
gress is the teacher not always
the "schoolmaster, !" however;
but he or she, who, living in a
higher, broader atmosphere than
his fellows Gas the school teacher
above his pupils), leads ever up
ward, from glory TO glory. toward
the goal that no human mind, as
yet, has fully compassed; nor
will, until the finite has become
infinite.
But it is the school teacher we
have with US today the school
teacher, creeping like snail un-
willingly to school, while "the
shining morning face'' plays
keeps along the way, as he exult-
antly exclaims, 1t is my turn
nova phrase admitting of
more than one construction.
Il is little for US to du, to speak
a word of Welcome, to these
moulders Of character; to these
exemplars, who inspire the con-
duct of our children; to these
rulers in the kingdom of thought; !;
to these .workmen known by their
works; to these architects OF fu-
ture fortune or greatness, founded
I by them in the innlost being of
our little ones; but our greeting
will appear in other ways than
words so W make bold to speak
it, for Good cheer and great
welcome makes merry feast. =
May the 400. 3 every one, pass
a season, profitable and pleasant
as we can all make it, among lis.
