CLOSE DEAF AND DUMB
INSTITUTE JUNE 18TH.

Jackson, Miss, June 3.-Prof. j. II.
Dobyns, superintendent of the Missis-
sippi institution for the deaf and
dumb, announces that the commence
ment exercises will be held on the
18th of June. Governor Brewer Will
deliver the baccalaureate address.
Four pupils will graduate from the
institution this year, Frederic Purcell
Armstrong, of Walden; Lily Alberta
Gwin, of Eupora; Ruby Matties Moore,
of McCool; Lawrence S. Pearson, Jr.,
of Port Gibson. Miss Gwin will be
the valedictorian of the class.
This is the first time in several
years that four students have gradu
ated at one term. A majority of the
deaf mutes do not remain in the
school to finish the course, and, as
result, the institution is filled chief,
with young children.
1t is significant, however, that eacl
of the 1912 graduates intend to ente
the Gallaudst College at Washington
and have just finished the entranc
examinations with this end in view.
