Tbey Would Be Orators.

The school board does not seem able
to make up Its mind whether or no all
the high school graduates shall speak at
commencement time. They resolved
last year that only a select assortment
should do so because the time was too
short to hear them all and moreover 1t
was thought we'll TO give a speaking
prize to the best scholars.
But then some one fred whole lot OF
music into the programme, and made
the services as long as ever. And this
year the excluded graduates come up
with petition that they be heard, and
the soft-hearted board seems inclined to
r.lent.
We do not know that we are compe-
tent to give advice on this momentohs
question. We are, however, prepared
to express our surprise that all Of the
graduates want TO speak and our belief
! that all Of them cannot he qualified to
speak.
We do not see that the high school
! graduate has an inalienable and Unborn
right to speak; and we should say, on
general principles, that II there are more
who want to speak than there Is time to
accommodate, none of them can COM
plain If the selection Is made upon their
scholarship or their oratory.
II Is not appointed to all the high
school graduates to be orators, and those
who know that they cannot speak
creditably should be content with admir-
ing the Daniel Websters among their
fellows and wondering why Providence
has been less kind To them.
