8. Labor-George G. Phillips.
The labor question Is tho coming issue
In American politics. The writer claimed
that education for the lower classes was
necessary, that there might be such q CO.
operation between labor and capital a.
would secure justice to each.
9. Gilded, not Golden-Emma r. Kreis.
Experience must teach the distinction
between what is real and what is false.
what has true worth and what only appar-
ont. Tho holloWness Of fashionable life
was portrayed.
10. Flowers and Leaves-Ells Smith.
As the plant draws in the essential ole.
ments for its growth and beauty from tho
great storehouse Of nature, 80 must the
human mind employ its faculties in draw
ing in and combining the facts and infor-
nation which nature offers US on oil sides,
and. which science and art have gathered
together for US. The strength and vigor
Of the mind depend upon its culture. A
noble work is a never fading flower. The
smile Of mans achievements being the
flowers, and his failures the leaves Of his
life, wae admirably sustained.
IL. How are We Educated ?-Myra
Fuller.
It is not technical knowledge alone which
comprises an education. Whatever strength
ems and improves the faculties. is an edu-
Gator. Each little circumstance of every
day life leaves its footprints. Educate
the immortal part.
IL. Teaohing-Thomas ]. Gray.
The distinction between knowledge and
Learning was drawn-the latter being the
motive power Of the mind. Teaching is
Learning's most powerful agent. It is the
dome Of the temple Of professions. The
teachers work is not 50 much to impart
knowledge as to discipline the mind. To
be successful teacher requires more skill,
more talent, and more knowledge Of human
character than any other occupation
Teaching is but in it's infancy. The Nor
NAL method is admitted by all who have
looFed into the matter without prejudice,
to be the system.
In comforting the degrees, Prof. Moore
remarked to the class that he could say
nothing then which would weigh in COM
parison with two years. daily work. But
he would impress this thought: the student
cannot 60 forth from this school like Miner
Va from tho head Of Jupiter, full armed
for the contest. A Normal school is strict
~ professional in character, and its stu
dents have the same character as those Of
all similar schools. No difficult case is
given to young lawyer Or young physi-
clan. It will not do for you to expect that,
without experience. you can take the
best positions in the State at once. You
must work up. In the school, you have
done well. We shall miss you, and only
feel recompensed by knowing that you are
doing good work elsewhere.
After another song by the choir, the au-
dience was dismissed with 4 prayer and
benediction by Rev. Campbell.
The exercises throughout were very
sreditable to tho class, and it is to be re-
GREETED that there was not time for all the
essays. Many Of the graduates go At once
to teaching. There were the usual adieus,
as the students separated for their homes
in various parts Of the State, and the usu-
al VOWS Of never-failing friendship during
the coming years. We predict that this
class will do o lasting work for good.
