The plan has, indeed, proved itself an unqualified success. The pieces have been for the mo.st part iudiciously chosen and admirably executed. They have been en- tertaining as well as instructive, and have formed an agreealrle prelude to tne daily recitations.

ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION These rheloiicals occurred on Friday mornings and produced such gratifying residts that the s stem lias been lesumed this year, ' i ' here are but few accjuire- ments of more value to tlie student than the ability to stand upon his feet, with his class as au audience, ami express clearh-, forcefidly, and without lapse of memoiu , the ideas u liich some great man has ut- tered. Not only does it tend to enlarge and impro e his ( cal)idai v and increase his general knowledge of history and lit- erature, but it also de elops an interest in his country’s welfare, and a power to maintain his self-possession while address- ing an assembly of his comrades. Man ' a man owes his success to his early tiain- ing in high-scliool rhetoricals. The Nineteenth of April is a day of great historic interest to . rlington, as well as to the neighboring townships of Lexington and Concord. Though Lex- ington perhaps has won the greatest fame from her part in that great battle where the shot was fired “heard round the world,” yet among the staunch pa- triots who ])icked off the British regu- lars from behind each fence and farm- yard wall,” were many sturdy heroes f-orn old Alenotomy. Indeed, some of e severest fighting of that memorable .y occurred in the streeets of our na- I ye town. Therefore it was eminently proper at on the Nineteenth of April, 18 7, the pupils of the Ai lington High School should have assembled in Lotting Hall to listen to the stirring addresses deliv- ( red bv members of the School Commit- tee, officers of the Grand Army Post, and other prominent citizens interested in the school. The exercises were opened with appropriate remarks by Principal Holt. The chairman of the meeting then introduced Mr. h W. Rawson, who. in a few impromptu re- marks. afforded great amusement by his bidicrous descrij tion of the centennial celebration of the Battle of Lexington, at which he was present. He was followed by Mr. Tuttle, chair- man of the Schoof Committee, who spoke of the advantages of education in training the youth for good citizenship. Mr. K. Nelson Blake, the principal speaker, delivered an inspiring address on the “Historic Past.” Mr. Blake is one who has the courage of his convic- tions, ami his powerful and earnest words of advice were forcible im])ressed upon his hearers. The commander of Post 36 next ad- dressed the assembly, referring very touchingly to the heroism displayed by the patriots of the Revolution, and by the brave Boys in Blue, who fought so nobly in the ’ar of the Rebellion. He doubted not that the young men of the present day would res])ond with ecjual readiness, if summoned, in times of na- tional peril, to lay down their lives for their country. IMr. Parker, the succceeding speaker, dwelt upon the influence of the newspa- per. and of the labor it had cost to bring it to its present state of perfection. He reminded the boys and girls of the school that it remained with them to make the newspaper of the future a worthy sequel of that of the present. The closing remarks were made by hlr. Robinson, of the School Commit- tee, who spoke of the historic interests which linked him to Arlington, and which had largely influenced him in se- lecting this town as his place of resi- dence. The addresses were interspersed with music by the school. The singing of our grand nati mal hymn, ‘‘America, concluded the exercises in an appropri- ate manner. A. B. LRAIirr. Practical Hair Cutter.
