Oommerfcement exercises, at
Sunderland Hall on Tuesday
night was anbther .bright" mile
stone in the history cf this splen
did institution and the session
now has its page in worthy an
nals. .
,The interest in. the 'Institution
was marked by an audience al
together out of proportion to
. .
the capacity for 'seating 'where
the delightful exercises could
be fully enjoyed.
Miss Montgomery, who makes
jio special display of . anything
but her superior ability .and ca
pacity, to conduct a, first class
school, seems only to have tried
to furnish the audience a fair
conception of the icaor and effi
ciency of the work done. Tin
various departments were port
rayed as follows:
The cooking department was
represented by a sifter drill by a
class who handled their sifters
in calisthenic movements, com
bining with it the department of
gymnastics.
The sewing department was
displayed by a class at work and
with questions and recitation
answers, showing the course pf
this department of domestic
economy.
The Sunderland Missionary
Society was represented by a
large class in costumes with en
signs of the different national
missionary fields with recitations
appropriate to each.. v
The Temperance Society was
represented by a recitation by
. Miss Ella Gra', picturing with
vivid effects the horrors of the
drink demon.
The literary work was most
creditably shown by two essays
read and a humorous recitation.
Miss Bessie Earley read an es
say, subject, ''The Awakening
of the Mind", with Miss Hellen
Keller as a basis.
Miss Mattte Byrd also read an
essay, subject, "The Might of
Mites", portraying the power of
little things.
Miss Maude Smith recited a
humerous selection from Sdn
ney's Christening. All these
were roundly cheered and in
spired high conceptions of the
literary work done.
The vocal' and instrumental
exhibit was intersp'ersed in the
program and consisted of three
excellent choruses and two duets.
The last duet "II Trovatore was
especially meritorious as render
ed tfy Miss Morsg and her pupil
Miss Farley.
The graduating class this year
was composed of Misses MattiQ
Byrd, Bessie Forley and Ella
Gray.
Rey. G 1 Cornel son opened
the exercises with ffn earnest and
impressive invocation and closed
them with the benediction.
Thus parses the planing of
gootl seeds in the human mind
and it is the commencement of
the growth adruit bearing of
precious influences that will flow
with steady stream through time
to be merged into the eternal.
About Silk Culture.,
An eVcejlent crop,, of cocoons
seems "to -have been harvested
by all whom we supplied with
srik-worm eggs this year. The
Department , will endeavor to
have a buyer visit Raleigh dur
ing the summer or fall to
purchase cocoons. t
In meantime growers (are
advised to choke them carefully
and dry them out as is explained'
on pages 27. and 28 of our.
Bnlletin ' $m. The dried co-
"cooris if of good quality should
bring about $1.25 per pound.
Pue notice will" be sent you
of tbe date of the, buyer's visit.
There is likely to be a con
siderable demand for eggs next
spring at about $2,00 per ounce.
But we can' not guarantee this.
We advise every body to select
at least 200 of the best and!
finest cocoons and from these
raise one.ounce of eggs, but not
more, unless there is assurance
of a sa'e for the eggs in your
own neighborhood.
Your attention is called to the
premiums offered for silk by
tbe State P'air. You will have
a fair chance to secure one or
more of these. Copies of the
advance premium list may be
had by addressing C B Denson,
Raleigh, N. C.
Very sincerely yourst
Gerald McCartay,
Biologist.
