Twas in '95, the season was autumn, The fields were arrayed in rich purple and gold; The dead leaves were falling, the bob-whites were calling, Said the south winging swallows, “the year’s growiug old!” SALUTATORY. The Ideal Country. FRANK ADF.LBERT MASTERS. Ladies and Gentlemen, Teachers and Fellow Pupils: We have assembled this evening in this formal and recognized mode of dismissal, for a final leave taking. It is a period in our lives toward which we have looked forward, recognizing its importance to us. Whether it will be of a greater import than a mere social function, will rest with each of us as individuals.

Government, then, is that organized means or power by which a nation protects the rights of its citizens and perpetuates its own existence. Men have always subjected themselves to the leadei-ship of other men. These leaders, as they came into power, established governments according to their own ideas.
