DIRECTORY.
There is in Boston a school in which thirty-two boys are taught to practically use their juvenile taste for whittling. A course of twenty-four lessons in wood carving is arranged to secure the greatest amount of instruction with the least expenditure for tools and material. Instruction is given in the evening. The founders of this school are led by their experience to the belief that three or four hours a week for one year only of the grammar school course, would be enough to give boys intimacy with tools, and encouragement to the inborn inclination to handicraft; and "that it would be easy to establish, in connection with all our grammar schools for boys, an annex for elementary instruction in the use of the half dozen universal tools, i.e., the hammer, plane, saw, chisel, file, and square."
OBITUARY.
W. W. FLUKE,
Junius J. Hadley, a student of the University in the year 1870-1, died at his home in Wyandotte, on the 30th ult. Mr. Hadley was a young man of sterling integrity and unsullied character. The following account of the funeral ceremonies we clip from the Kansas City Times:
"Yesterday was a sad day for Wyandotte, for she laid away in Oak Grove Cemetery all that was earthly of one of her most promising and energetic young men, June Hadley. Long before the hour set for the funeral, which was 3 o'clock, carriages, buggies and all kinds of conveyances, blocked the way to the residence of his father, the Hon. D. B. Hadley, and at 2:30 the Drought Rifles in full uniform, headed by their band, marched to the house. After the religious ceremonies by the Rev. R. M. Tunnell, which were highly impressive, the Rifles formed single file, and through their ranks with presented arms, the corpse was placed in the hearse. The Rifles formed again, and, headed by their band playing a funeral dirge marched forward, followed by the hearse, mourners, coaches and friends, making a very long procession. On arriving at the cemetery the Rifles formed around the grave, and after a few more feeling remarks from Rev. R. M. Tunnell, all that was earthly of June Hadley was laid away in their final resting place. The procession was very fine and impressive."
