The address Of the evening was
made by the Rev. John H. Brown,
who spoke to the students, parents
and teachers on the means by which
high school education may be vital
lied.
Mr.. Brown, after defining the
general purpose of education, spoke
of the high school particularly, re-
ferring to the four years spent by
students in the high school as forma-
tive in their lives. Speaking of the
fact that it is during these years
when the boy and the girl are devel-
oping into men and women, that their
ideals are formed, and when they
are cropping towards the duties of life
he impressed upon those who heard
him the Importance of ministerine
not only to the demands of these aviC
young minds, but also to the need:
of the spirit. Mr.. Brown pointed out
that no character may be truly
rounded unless body, mind and spirit
are developed, and he stressed tn.
importance of parents and teacher
| working together for this develop
ment, along spiritual, or what ma.
be called, religious lines. He re-
minded his audience that it was no
of prime importance what religion
was taught to the student, but tina
whatever the faith may be, that
should be the aim of the teacher AM
the guardian to develop the spiritua
side of the boy or the girl, that the,
: may be equipped to meet the req
issues of life.
