our parents aud friends who have provided such
advantages for us, and are thankful also to you,
as our teacher, that you are so interested in
helping us tread the paths of knowledge. As
we grow older we will value more highly the
work, of otir teachers and will then truly honor
those who had such patience wit' us and. who
were so diligent to help ua in all our work. In
reviewing the year we think we have made
some progress, though not so much as you think

little each day and now find ourselves a year
older and we believe a year wiser. We meet
you this eveniug, to encourage you in yoerhard
work as our teacher, and assure you the lessons
learned will never be lost. Though teacher
and scholars may separate in years to come yet
the effects of these lessons will remain. The
seed sown now will yield fruit even though you
may be for distant. Please aecept from your
