and gratitude to God for the many
blessings and good things he has
given to us during the past year.
The fact that Mr.. Hudson is one of
our own town boys, made his speech
even more interesting and enjoy
able. Another feature of the eve
ning's program was the reading of a
paper prepared by Principal HOwie

by DR.. w. f. Hastings. In this read

best in the character of the teacher
to be Caught rather than taught"
