An excellent attempt In extemporaneous extempor-aneous speech making was shown last Friday afternoon by the graduates and third academics. This art, so Important Import-ant and now so assiduously cultivated cultivat-ed In all schools Is one of the best means to secure ease and fluency for young people, and an aid to restore the lost art of conversation.
