"Education is a companion which no misfortune can, depress-no crime destroy ?io enemy alienate-no despo tism c. slave. At home, a friend; abroad an introduction ; in solitude, a solace; and in society, an ornament." It ia oue of the blessmgs of the law of compensation that while for the cultivation of the mind there must be borne struggles and hardships, these strivings are ac compa.rdwith the most delight ful of companionships-commu nion cf :nind and heart with the cheerful and congenial 'spirits of yoith. Schcol days are indeed joyful and happy days! But in the re trospect, there is a thought of overw -aiming sadness, that these aro i?oliph?s which can be enjoyed no mor.-. We may go back to the old ocliool, and enter the same door, ai:d greet the same friends, but tho bond of sympathy is gone. In a few years time, the varieties and vicissitudes of life will have so absorbed and consumed thought and o. . rgy that the school life is only a delight in the eye of the mind, as a vision of yore. A scone appears to the mind now of a visit to the Alma Mater some months after graduation. A few friends of lang syne were there to greet Jhe wanderer returned, but the rest were all strangers, sitting in the same chairs and at the same Mable, n:.d occupying the same room which were once the posses sion of dear friends, scattered here and there since the departed year. The unfamiliar faces of the stran ger created a lonely and desolate feeling, that this which was once and I must hie me "away "To find . ernffloyrnent and comfort in some other sphere. So.it is that "mel ancholy attends the best joys of an ideal life." In after years the meeting with school friends causes a glow of pleasuro out this gleam of sun shine ia loon dipsipated, aDd a short conversation reveals that sympathy and companionship change with time and circum stances. 'Tis a joy without an af terglow. But one must not dwell on these patting scenes. It may be that , school uay friendships will abide for ayo in "The Beautiful Land of the Somewhere." Chrr; ,-ih the mementoes and memorio-. of the school life, and sometimes in the coming days they will bring to your heart a sweet thrill, in dreaming of the years long gone. It may be that time has formed her yep rs in a circle, and thr.t in some brighter sphere, these it'asures of youth will re turn to us, and it will all be as it once wm. -; RE KINDERGARTEN. Bnt upon such gloomy abstruc tious it is not wiso to dwell, so ?'come lffc ns live with the chil dren," thcoo beings whose life should I:e and is the very essence of joy, innocence, and love. It is safe to Fay that in all the history of Edgefiold therr has never heen such a period of expectancy and enihusirsm in a good cause as was manifested on last Saturday at the approach of the closing exercises of 'he Kindergar ten school. Though i: was Saturday evening a time generally unpropitious tor such occasions, the Opera House wes crowded with people intense ly interested in the coming enter tain mei I. The welcome to the audience was a little song, and such artless beauty and innocence could not have been otherwise than sincere in this happy greeting. Years gone by it was considered a wonder that a child of a dozen years could perform on the piano before an audience. That has ceased to be a marvel and these can only win applause by the man ifestation of genius cultivated. It ib still astonishing however to see children of 3even years mount a piano stool with difficulty and then with composure begin and end a composition which has re quired attention and practice. The "March of the little Mon," a duelt by Cl iii ?rd King and Sadh M ms was such a marvel. Edgefield had never seen brforr < i rvljUlo-girl of five 3-rnrs r?ridcr ? violin sn!o, buton P?-?'r??r even ing Li.le MIES Thelma Bailee made a most becoming debut as ! violinist, not only becoming bu very promising. The recitation by Troy an< Douglas Anderson, "Which i Which?" did not clear up th mystery in the minds of the peo pleas to which was which, lu only inteusiiicd it. The piano solo Doll's Ball Galo] by Sadie Mims was a triumph o skill for little fingers. As the program advauced th audience became more and mor charmed and surprised at the ca pacity for training which thee little ones possessed, and the pow ers of the Kindergarten teacher in developing if. Thelma Bailey recited and sun? quite a long selection with a cho rus by all the children. This re quired a decided effort of th? memory which is one of the dis tinctive offices of the Kindergar ten training. Miriam Norris created quite i ripple of audible admiration whei she sang the little song "My Dol ly." She went about her singing with an air of 6elf possessior which many a grown up persor might have envied. But she knevt what she could do and was nol ashamed of it. Her voies was real ly a marvel of sweetness and mel ody seldom heard in a child of bei years. The most amusing item on tb? program was tho Topsy Turvy Drill. This was followed by an other violin solo, this time howev er the performer, was Sadie Mims, who manifested much reason foi "Great Expectations." The Tom Thumb Wedding won the most vehement applause of anything during the evening. Our5 gentleman remarked that "noth ing could follow which would be as good, and that it would be a good time to Btop to leave the best impression, but he changed hie mind as the 'evening advauced, and said that the "last was not least, but best." A piano trio, Marche by Streab bogcame next by Sadie Mims, Emma Boukuignr, and Clifford King. The Toy Symphony was partici pated in by quite a number of the children. This to a peraon who understood music, was one of the most interesting features of the program. It brought out forcibly attention, concentration o?mind the cultivation of music, perfee accuracy of detail and exactnesi in time. Tho children who tool part in the symphony ?vere Joni Barry, Roy Parker, Sadio Mims Emma Bouknight, Anni9 Cante^ lou, Julia Folk, Clifford King anc William Ouzts. Music followed by the string quartette, Miss Marcie Gwaltnev and Maxcie Sheppard first and second mandolin, Miss Eloise An derson and Mr. Buist Anderson first and second violin. The program ended with a plaj by all the children in the Kinder garten, called the "Brownie's Tri umph or a commotion in Fairy land." This was a beautiful and thrilling scene for every eye. The idea that facts are more potent than arguments, had in this play an unquestioned pr? of. The ideas which these children have memo rized will remain with them fur ever, will grow up with them, and help to mak3 them great and good. The commencement sermon was preached on Sunday morning in the Opera House by Rev. Dr. T, M. Bailey of Greenville. The Sun day evening sermon by Rev. Mr. T. C. O'Dell of the Epworth Or phanage in Columbia. MONDAY'S EXERCISES. Monday morning at ten o'clock the annual celebration of the three societies of the Institute took place in the opera house. The band played an inspiring selection, af ter which the audience was led in prayer by Dr. Bailey. The three societies are the Fi delian for young ladies, and the Pierian and L. R. Gwaltney socie ties for young men. The pro gramme was conducted and an nouncements made by Mr. George Scott of the Senior class. Miss Bertha Briggs read a very amusing story in an intelligent manner, and the young men of the chorus class saug that old and familiar song "My old Kentucky Home." Mr. Robert Black in a very sweet and melodious voice sang thesoio, and the clsss joined in the chorus. The young men composing this chorus were Messrs. J.. F. Eutzmiuger, Robert Black, Faust, Quattlebaum, Brown, Ralph Jones and Edgar Cato. A sextet'.e on the piano follow ed by Misses Ma'.tie Neweome, Al lie Toole, Sophie Huggins, Mc Lane, Stella Atkinson end Sudie Davis. The debato between the young m^n of the Pierian and the young ladies of the Fidelian society had as its query, "Resolved that South Carolina should have compulsory education." The affirmative side _ ) Ililli ll TH" 7"" " 'nM hv ?>i c"" G?VCIC Warran and Calhoun May?,- tho' negative bj Miss Ruth DeLoach and Frank Huggins. All cf the speeches were good and raanifcp' ed attentive preparation., but tho decision was rendered in favor of the affirmative sic!f>, and the msrial for th? best speech was aivardsd Calhouii%Mays Ry Hov. Mr. Stew art. Calhoun Mays is considered a young mau of brigbt mind and vigorous intellect, and has already made his mark as an orator. The medal for best debater in this so ciety remains but one year with an individual, and then is passed on to the best speaker for the fol lowing year. It has already boen in the possession of Mips Julia Anderson, the first year and Miss Lillian Smith tho secon?! year, and is now in the honored posses sion of Mr. Calhoun Mays. Frank Huggins also was much above the ordinary in his speech, and many wer) undecided as to which the judges would deem most worthy of ?he rev ard. Miss Lula Calo of Monetta ren dered a beautiful as.d aiti=tic vo cal solo. Her personal charm was a beautiful accompaniment to this selection. Of the two medals, awarded to the L, R. Gwaltney literary socie ty, Mr. Watkins received the one for the most marked improvement in speaking, and Mr. Mellichamp for the one who displayed most interest in the society work during the past ' session. These medals were presented by L. W. White of the Institute. The medal for most improve ment in speaking offered by the Pierian society wi s won bv Mr. Callison, and presented by W. H. Byrd. At the end of this debate the band sent forth such sweet and thrilling notos that the peo ple were all sorry that the exer cises were over and they must go home, again to the harsh realities of life. The closing exercises of the pri mary and intermediate depart ments of the South Carolina Co Education.il Institute took place in the Opera House on Monday evening. The hackneyed phrases of full house, crowded house etc., becamo tame expressions when applied to the audience in the Opera House on this occasion. To say that the audience was the lar gest ever gathered in that building would more nearly convey a cor rect idea. The curtain opened upon a scone of exceeding beauty, a stage full of the prettiest little girls and the handsomest little boys in the State of South Carolina. If out siders did not think so they will have to overlook the motherly pride of old Edgefield for her chil dren, and remember that they are our own. Just to have beh?ld their innocent and beautiful faces would have been a satisfaction, but this was not all. Their little voices pealed forthin a song of none but children. Prof. Entzminger of the Insti tute conducted the evening's ex excises, and next announced to the audience a piano trie by Misses Maggie Cameron, Lillie May Bailey, and Ethel Mays. This war. well performed, and was a se lection well calculated to please an appreciative audience. Little Miss Hortense Peak reci ted that touching and heart-stir ring poem "Papa'f Letter/' in a modest but intelligent manner. A piano duett followed by Misses Ellen and Emmie McKie. This was a very pleasingselectiou, and displayed a decided talent. Ellen McKie is only eight years old, and at the beginning of the session did not know a note. She played with remarkable accuracy both of time and execution, and will with perseverance become an honor to the profession of music Another one of*Mie unusually al tractive features .the evening wae a song by little Emmie Tomp kins, "Bridgie Brown." The whole house could hear every word that she sang, an unusual accomplish ment even to the matured vocal ist. It is a great gift to possess a well modulated voice and distinct enunciation. Miss Clare Grice recited a hu morous selection in such a clear ringing voice that she captivated the listening crowd. Her intelli gence and elocutionary gifts are j remarkable for her yearn. A piano duett by Miss Ruth Cogburn and Miss Ruth Timmer mau, was much enjoyed. Those littlo girls manifested taste for the "divine art," as well as patient perseverance in practice. Boys can seldom display their talent as pianists, but they can sing, they can use the voice which was the first music of the human race. The boys of the primary and intermediate departments, in chorus sang "The c'iou chou Ca?," which some people misunderstood as the chew chew cow. When they began to sing however, it was soon evident that it was the puffing of the engine and the ringing of bells that they had come to sing. They enjoyed it themselves, and made : all else enjoy it. A humorous recitation was next ; rendered in a winsome style by ?Miffs Ruth Tompkins. Miiss Edwardina Blalock has J ready become known as very tal ented in the musical 6phere. When such things are so well known it is not necessary to make much comment upon them. True worth and ability must-and will be recognized "sometime some where." Her piano solo was ren dered with grace and with a knowl edge of its musical significance. A recitation by Emmie Tomp kins was as well done in the line of elocution, as was her song in the vocal line. Richard Anderson also paid his respects lo the audience in ono of his vehement recitations, full of energy and life. A piano trio by Misses Alleen Ouzts, Edwardina and Marion Ri?loGH wns -ell' nnrl artist i ci-.lly' performed. Elliott Simkifi? closed tbie- part nf tho PXfrcisoB hy his recitation 'Bingen cn.thc Rhine.' He display ed a marl:rd energy of speech and mad? the audience listen whether they would or not, a great advan tage in a speaker. At this time the brass baud en tertained the crowd, and kept them in a good humor until the remaining exercises were being prepared for. The "Three Wishes," a fairy play in which all the girls of the preparatory school took patt was the last feature of the programme. Lillie May Bailey WQB Queen of the Fairies, ard the thren who made the wishes were Earline Al len, May Roper and Ellen Duno vant. Non? of them need have wished for beaut}', for that they already posse63ed, and it may be that the good Fairy Queen bad already bestowed wisdom upon them, for they at least had enough of that to do "their share of work well and creditably for 6uch youth ful little maidens. It would not be at a 1 just however to leave out ali the rest of the apparently less prominent Fairies, for it is not always the one who says most, who is worth most. One was just as uee^ssary to the pleasure of tho audience as the other, and every little face, and every little singing voice was a delight to all the people. Tho people of Edgeficld need yield precedence to no town or city in this country or other in' the matter of a graded school. The hearts of our citizens should swell with joy and gratitude that their children are EO blessed with this educational endowment. "Let no man take thy crown." " i Weather for May.
