Sensible Talk.

The Columbus TIMES in an article
some time ago used some sensible Ian
guage In relation to the nonsensical
practice of holding "annual commence
ment" exercises at the close of the High
School. We copy as follows, and hope
our educators will give it their serious
attention:
We appeal to Superintendent Steven
son and the School Board to follow The
example of other cities, and relieve US
In future from High School Commence
ment exercises. The terrible burden
to parents, children, friends and teach
ers is well nigh intolerable. The ex-
IesIaient and strain Of the young girls
In making preparation of wardrobe;
the over crowding and siokening heat
Of the rooms where they are held, but,
above all, the useless and unpardona-
BILE expense to parents, many of whom
are Ill able to bear 1t, of preparing their
daughters for an hours spectacle at q
cost which must rob them of home COM
forts for months to come. The dress
ing and flower mania for commence
ment Is worse than nonsense. In this
city 1t has grown to the proportion of
q crime. Instead Of being o pleasant
and sensible entertainment of literary
nature, 1t has grown to be a gaudy and
senseless exhibition Of elegant dresses
and handsome flowers. The competi-
ton is not in the matter of the essay,
but in the costliness Of the dress and
the %profusion of flowers, and to such
an extent has the flower nuisance been
carried that we noticed yesterday girls,
singly, in carriages, perfectly buried
In floral offerings which devoted pas
rents had strained their purses to pro-
cure, lest some other graduate might
have a posey more than his own dar-
ling. But the worst feature is the hu-
initiation Of the poor girls for whom it
Is utterly impossible TO procure costly
dresses and gorgeous flowers. She may
be far the superior in scholarship and
all that goes to make pure w%ornauhood,
but she cannot have white satins and
ships and anchors and crosses Of flow
ers, and the occasion TO her Is n of
sorrow and regret instead Of joy and
blissful a~nticipations. At many places
this year, the public exercises have
been probably and properly abandon
ed altogether. At others, flowers and
costly dressing have been prohibited, |
ard we believe we voice the almost
unanimous sense of this community In |
asking the Board to take steps in the
future to cure the growing evil.
