with a drama. The literary, music
and military departments are
practising every day that all may
be in readiness when the all im

busy place, for to have a credit
able commencement requires a lot
of hard work on the part of the

as heretofore.

been fortunate in securing speak

ley, who is so well known in Barnes
ville. He is now the pastor of

successful one.

teachers of (ieorgla. This is a subject which is
receiving attention from the leading educators
and .statesmen of America. Prof. Utterbaek
will demonstrate what Manual Training really
is, the position it should occupy and its true
function as a factor in education. He will have
drawing, painting, modeling, construction in
paper, cardboard sewing and weaving. It is
also practically certain that a Professor from
John Hopkins University will deliver several
lectures on physiology, and will be illustrated
with life-size manakins and other drawings and
charts, so as to make them plain and yet
attractive. The examinations for teachers’
license now includes questions on Physiology
and this science must Ik taught in all public
schools. These h-ctures are therefore timely
and of inestimable value.
A rate of one fare for the round
