He condoled with those who had be«n unsuccessful, and counselled them not to be down-hearted, but to do their best when the annual Bport's day again rolled round and they would probably come out on the top. If they would oil do their very utmost to excel when in school and also when at play, they would make good and useful members of society and be a credit to their parents.
