| best preparation they will have for the
J future in its material and workaday
world aspects. they will find to have
been given them here in the Grammar
school. In the plastic formative pc
riods of their early youth they have
gained knowledge, which is a good
thing; they have been trained in habits
OF industry and self-reliance, which is
better thing. When they go out into
the world to battle with its disappoint-
ments and rigorous exactions. they
viii be able to look back to their
student life here, next 10 the precepts
and examples of good, kind and de-
voted parentsand religious instruction
as having been most powerful and eff
ficient in moulding their youthful lives
Looking into the bright, eager faces
OF this class, we cannot help feeling
confident that it's members will al
ways reflect credit upon the Grammar
School; that their coming lives will
justify what has been done for them
by our system of public education.
They are the boys and girls of today ,
in whom will be developed the citizens
of tomorrow, with all the greatness of
the possibilities that lie before them
We congratulate them upon having so
creditably and well acquitted them
selves within these walls; we wish
for them happiness and achievement
in the years to come. If our public
school system is still on trial, as in
measure it is, and will anyways con-
tinue to be in this developing and pro-
gressive age, we patrons. citizens and
teachers, can without fear or misgiv-
ing, say with the Roman matron, that
these children are our jewels.
1t must be matter OF intense graft
fication to the County School Board
and the County School Superintendent
as well as the trustees of this school,
that such fine results have been at
tanned. 1t must be especially graft
flying to them to know that their good
judgment in the selection of principal
and teachers has been so abundantly
demonstrated.
In the yearsI was officially connect
ed with the management of our
schools, there is nothing of which | am
more proud than the efforts | made
to convince the people that women
were as capable as men to act as trus-
tees, as teachers and as principals of
schools, and the splendid accomplish
ment of this school speak for them
selves
At the conclusion of the address of
Mr.. Melvin Miss Riordan, on behalf

The Exhibit.
The exhibit of the work done by the
children during The past year which
was displayed in the various class
rooms was enjoyed by the parents and
friends who visited the school this
morning.
The display is a sample of the work
done and shows the progression from
the First Grade. where the little kid
dies cut and weave paper, learn TO
color jwrawings with crayons. sew
cards, fold paper in different designs,
on through each grade until the fin-
ished work of the Grammar School is
found in the Seventh Grade. The dis
play of the completed work shows
drawings of agricultural studies, to-
biographical maps, colored maps, espe-
cially well done as are some architect
ural drawings and floor plans of
houses.
Interesting maps on which real pro-
ducts have been placed showing what
the different localities produce In
fact, all of the subjects are illustrated
in some way, either by drawings or
pictures. which adds interest to the
work for the pupils. The display of
the Second Grade is especially good
as is that of the Fifth Grade tgirisl
where special attention has been given
to English and nature studies. The
pupils OF this class are members OF
the National Andobon Society and have
made a special study of birds and
their habits.
