He refe.-red to the folly of toe; idea that education w-s productive ot j infideiity. He did not regret so much ihal so few certificates had beeu issued, because those that did not receive re-ceive them would realize that these papers could only be acquired by labor, and that when certificates ware awarded to them, those obtaining would (eel they had received them on account of real merit. The school before him was but an epitome of the world, which was simply a normal school, where tue object was to advance ad-vance and obtain greater intelligence. "A little learning i9 a dangeruu; thing," and the acquisition of knowl edga would enable us lo do more good and would also teach ua bow to avoid the rock3 and shoals on which others bad been wrecked. But in all things, it waE neceisiry that the education edu-cation that bad been received ehouid be applied in the ritfht direction. It was our duty to nsa properly the faculties with which God had endowed us, and we should go on in the woik and cause of learning. The programme having been cloned, Dr. Park thanked tne students for tje manner in which they had deported themselves during the past year; and iu that time nothing had been said in any ot tho classes or by any of the Btudcnts to wound the . feelings, which was saying a great! deal. He did not feei that it was j ueccsaary to make a long address, and it was needless to say that he wa interested in the welfare of tue stu dentaaud education, for he was. Prof. J. B.
