The Twenty ninth Annual Commence
ment of the Kenosha High School occurred
at the Congregational church last Friday
evening. The building was packed and
over hundred were unable to get inside.
The regular account of the exercises will be
found Oh tie 9TH page. The class that
graduated was composed OF three from the
city and two whose homes are in the coun-
try. In quality the class stood high; some
of the productions being decidedly credita-
BILE. Norman Baker did himself honor in
his yaledictory grafton, handling his SUBJ
.ject in logical manner and delivering it
very WE'LL Miss Winnie MARITIME handled
her rather familiar subject in pleasant
manner and delivered her production with
excellent taste Miss Marines style of
composition is marked by vigor, aptness
and elegance. Miss Heating read her Salu-

and taste. Walter Dexter did himself
great credit in his Grafton, both as to COM
position and delivery Miss Roberts took
a historical line Of thought and developed
it carefully, unfolding to her hearers many
thoughts of interest In fact, the whole
class did excellently. One thought which
must have struck the audience seriously
was the small number in the class. While
other towns of five and six thousand are
graduating from their High Schools classes
of thirty and even forty, and never falling
below twenty, Kenosha with eight thousand
people graduates three. And the records
show that the number is never much larger

people take their children out of school just
az soon as they can earn penny and doom
them to lives of drudgery by refusing them
an education. Others, with criminal care
lessness, permit their children to absent
themselves from school and grow familiar
with vice and crime on the streets The
parochial schools do not lead up to the
High School, nor do they furnish any
equivalent in their own instruction. Very
many are thus kept from The education they
