speaking of the advantages Of an ed
ucation and the uses to which it should
be put.
Supt Bishop also spoke to the class
of the value of an education and stat
ed that it was a power for both good
and evil according to the way it is
used. Character, he said is what
counts, and education should be used
to build that up. He referred to the
fact that six members of the school
had won mention in the Colonial
Danes essay contest this year, and
that Mary A. Johnson had read her
essay during the evening. He then
presented the diplomas. and the exer-
cises came to a close by the chorus
shining the Broadway school song.
The cantata, Summer, was beauti-
fully sung by the chorus, under the
direction of Prof J. Herbert George,
and was a feature of the evening. The
soloists were Carl Edward Kinney, So
prano; Hazel Armenia Thomas, mezzo
soprano and Lou Marie Batty, con-
tralto. All gave their selections with
fine voice and expression. They have
for some weeks been studying with
Hugh Kinder and reflected much cred
ii on him as well as Prof. George. The
cantata is quite difficult for grammar
school choruses, but it had been mas
tered, and the solos were artistically
sung including several recitative pass
ages. Miss Alice Woodward was ac-
companist and the Mehlin piano was
loaned by Warrington.
