' There was not a hitch, not a delay in the whole program, and the intrinsic value or" each selection was enhanced by the precision and maidenly grace with which it was executed. After the last number, the 'Rev. T. Corcoran addressed ad-dressed the assembly. Among other things, the Rev. Father said: "This, dear friends, is the age of progn.f-s, and the root of all true progress is ed-ut ed-ut alien, but education v.- ' 'ts proper signification, i. .. ih-; ed ication cf mind and heart. io,:i-i nr. The neg!. ct to train the :ioa-t ui'.h the held lies filled the world with rasns o: Tare skill; true education alone .-an produce the truly great man or woman. The scenes we have witnessed hire .uay cannot but have convin'-ed us all that in this valley of St. Peter, tho work of education is being carried on in its highest and broadest sense. Here, far removed from the smoke of the city, and its sin; here, in the exhilarating mountain air. amid green hills and flowery dales, the child's health of body and soul is developed in every way, while the mind is receiving training which cannot be surpassed by any institution in-stitution in the land." The Rev. Father Hannon of Butte, Mont., next addressed the audience. He said: "Dear friends. I am sure that you will all agree with that the social and intellectual feast given us here today to-day amply repays us for our long trip. I, for one, feel 'that I am more than repaid. And while enjoying the feast, let us not forget those who have fur nished it so abundantly and tastefully, viz., the children and the sisters. I congratulate the children for having profited so well by the excellent instruction in-struction given them by the Ursuline nuns, and I congratulate the nuns on the grand success which their skill and careful training have made possible possi-ble here today. Dear friends, here the teacher's work is done faithfully and well; here it is not the eye of the district dis-trict inspector nor the city superintend (lent that impels to effort and demands efficiencp; no, here the teacher works beneath the great and all-seeing eye of God works before him alwavs. and works for him alone; and this, dear friends, is the secret of the nuns' work being always so faithfully done." After much applause a hush of expectation fell upon the hall as the Rev. Corcoran rose for the awarding of medals. The successful competitors were as follows: fol-lows: Gold medal for Christian doctrine. oonaiea ny me Kev. r. Corcoran, won by Miss Mary McLaughlin; gold crosses for Christian doctrine, won b Misses Laura Lucchesi, Violet Wiimot and Mamie Whitcomb; gold medal for excellence in the sciences.

In the evening a charming little operetta op-eretta was presented by the Indian children of St. Peter's mission school. It made a delightful close for a delightful de-lightful day. : h. F. |
