Our commencement exercises
take place Saturday, May II.
No better work has been done
this year than that in the review
classes of the several rooms.
The nature study in the interme-
date room this week is given to the
discussion of our native birds.
The second primary pupils spent
the opening exercises Tuesday
morning with the high school and
grammar grade students.
The little folks in the first prima-
ry room are greatly interested in
wild flowers and have brought a
great many kinds of them to school
lately.
The singing class from the upper
grades went to the Dennis church
Saturday night and sang for the
regular preaching services. They
enjoyed the trip hugely and did
very excellent singing.

of them show in illustrating circula'

give all who prefer reserved seats
for both nights their places at a
very reasonable rate. The general
admission to the play will be 25c

will be charged for the graduating
exercises.
The attendance this month has
been very good and the work of the
year will be closed up in much bet
ter order than has been possible
with an eight months term. A few
parents have allowed their children
to drop out of school but the evil
results of such carelessmess will be
very apparent not only to the pu-
pills themselves but to the patrons
as well when such students are not
promoted to the next grade and
they can't be promoted because
they have not finished their work.
1t is a very serious matter and the
teachers regret very much that any
pupil should be kept in the same
grade for another year but if child.

not hope to make their grades.

TT is true that Thomas Campbell did write
pleasures of Hope; but he disliked
to be reminded of the fact His own favor
lite among his works was Gertrude of wv

reference to that. As to the poem by which
he was best known, he thus expressed his
mind to his friend Frazer:
Il never like to see my name connected
with Pleasures of Hope Why, cannot
tell you, unless it was that when was young
l was always greeted among my friends as
Mr.. Campbell, author of pleasures of

tale, "A kind of grim smile, i'll subdued, we
are afraid, stole over our features when,
standing beside the poets grave, we read

out who she is. She never knew home, be-
cause ever since she can remember she has been
travelling about with her father. who dies be-
fore he can tell her the source of her income, or
what her real name is. There are the halves of
three bills-one ten-thousand-dollar bill, an
other a thousand-dollar bill, and the third
dollar bill-and some trunks in Chicago. These
are the clues upon which she and the youth
whom she meets by accident are compelled to

in their childhood; they lived in the same house
in the English village. They don't even know
what their relation to each other may be.
TORN ACROSS-the story takes its name

battling mystery asserts itself. and you wonder
what is to become of the young people. You
can't help liking them, they are SO fine and
wholesome, so unspoiled. And you will want
them to be happy. Together they unravel the

Also there is lively interest that will keep you
