Then came the reading of the com

. They were historical and moot difficult
i subjects, but were handled with the

groat credit to both teachers and pc
pile. •
After the reading of these composi

appearance upon the stage for the

Dr. Drewry said it afforded him
great pleasure to hear the reading of

Prof. Neel took the occasion to die
cuss the schools of the city and their
possibilities, the necessity of having a
good school which always spoke well
of a place. He eaid good work in a
school room would find its reward
everywhere. His tribute to the board
of education was a just compliment
and he gave them notice that he
would call upon them each year for
more money to support the school as
it builds up. He would not wish to
remain here if he could not better the
scbooL
He was emphatic in hie assertion
1
that a large boarding house
great demand here for the accommo<
dation of pupils.of his school
already more pupils from abroad foi
next year than he can accommodau
at his home. .
Prof. Neel gave hie reasons forth!
hearty cooperation of the public w
plain unmistakable words.
I Thus the dosing exercises of
Chas. M. Noel Institute were earned
out and to those not knowing to tn
contrary ft would likely •PP ear .
them that tbit school was among mm
oldest in the state and not in >ts nrsl
year.
