cA Glance backward. Wt arc stronger, and arc better. Un ter manhood' »terner reign: Still we tecl that aomethiag »weet Followed youth, with dying feet And will never come again. SO sing . the poet. As there can be but one youth in the life of an individual, so there can be but one in the life of a school. In this brief backward glance do not expect me to exalt overmuch because we have got so far away from the day of small things. That day had its charm as well as its profit.

The teachers and students kept on the even tenor of their way until about three days before the close of the school year. Then recitations were suspended, and students wrote both fore and afternoon until their examinations were completed. Then a very few people read some very good essays, the school chorus furnished some music, it was delightful to hear, and the work and
