at the Good Samaritan Hospital, Portland, that she
did not pass so splendidly an examination purported
to have been given.
Supt. Lipps gave a most interesting talk to the
students during our chapel exercises last Sunday even
ing. Above all he stressed the necessity of punctually,
of sanitation, of industry and frugality if they are to
to prove successes later on, w’hen they are endeavoring
to place themselves in the great “outside” world with
its driving competition. In addition to the fine ad
dress of Mr. Lipps the choir sang a pleasing number
and a quartet of boys, Joe White, Victor Smith, Peter
McClusky and Janies Scott, sang a couple of numbers
most acceptibly. The orchestra also played a couple
of selections.

Canada, last summer. Christine Muller spoke on
“Our Duty in Worship,” Victor Smith on “Our Duty
for Christian Conduct,” Eleanor Sanderson presented
“Our duty toward other young people in the world,”

Johnson on “Our Duty for a Christian Society.” A
beautiful musical selection by the boys’ quartet and
