Music, piano solo. by Miss Edith,
Hassell charmed the audience. Mis-
Hsssell wore that most appropriate o.
all dresses for the sweet young girl a
graduation, fine white muslin dotted
swiss, with lace accompaniment.
Grafton, Politics, What? r. Allan
Kilbourn was the next announcement.
Allan Kilbourn has become quite ar
orator for one of his years Beside he
is ambitious, and one cannot help feel
ing thrill Of pride and pleasure in
sympathy with the young speaker.
Farther study and practice will enable
him TO compete with the best. His
Grafton revealed the deep interest that
has been taken by the school boys the
past two years in political questions.
Essay. Miss Fieldhouse, Number
Three, Interested her hearers to get the
meaning of her mystical subject. After
discussing many superstitions with the
idea that none of US are free from all
entertainments she plead in favor of
controlling our fortunes instead of
yielding to the torture of mysterious
omens. Miss Fieldhouse wore an
elegant dress, cream colored combi-
nation Of wool and silk with lace
garniture.
Marshall F. Ellis addressed his audi
ence upon Education a Necessity. He
is young man of pleasing presence
and spoke well. Education is an art;
the art of developing the faculties. In
order to establish the perfection of an
art it must be founded on a correspond
ing science. Education embraces three
classes, Physical, Mental and Moral.
The Physical should be cultivated
enough to keep the body in health. The
Mental and Moral education lifts man
to the higher reaizations and realms of
life. The object of life is the perfection
of mans nature for his highest well
being and happiness. This is a world
of competition. There is competition
from the cradle to the grave, from the
laboring man to the millionaire. Edu-
cation better enables us to compete
with the world in which we live. 1t is
| the ignorant and uneducated who can
never fully appreciate life, good music,
good painting, beauties of nature or
works of art. To the educated mar,
the world is his oyster to open and en-
joy. The physical, intellectual and
moral health of each generation must
be cared Tor to promote the physical
mental and moral health of prosperity.
Each generation has enormous power
over the natural gifts of those that
follow. We owe it to humanity to in
yestigate the range of that power, and
exercise it to the best advantage.
Inc Genius of the Worlds Fair by
Edward G. Budd, has been declared by
some to have been the best address of
the day. 1t certainly was on original
address on a prominent subject which
has not yet passed into books. Mr.
Budd delivered it exceedingly well. He
has taken less practice than some of the
others and even surprised his best
friends. The line of thought was that
the Genius of the Worlds Fair is
greater than the exhibit itself; greater
than the city that entertains it; greater
than the state in which it is held. 1t is
commensurate with the nation and the
ends of the earth in its great educa-
tiopal influence. The great works of
genius there shown will act as inspira-
ton to many who see them, and
wonders of art and inventive skill will
receive great impetus
A violin solo, by MIR. Longdon, filled
the air with music, and the ushers Gid
ing like gentle zephyrs gathered
beautiful flowers that friends had pre-
pared for the graduates. All were
surprised to see so many flowers, be.
cause roses here are not yet in bloom,
and our season of outdoor bloom has
seemed late. But flowers came in great
profusion and beauty. Gala lilies and
quantity of valley lilies, pansies,
pinks, forget-me-nots and geraniums
with large number of dollhouse roses
and pinks, beside many other varieties
made a fragrant and gorgeous colec-
ton.

Edwards, on Tenacity of Purpose. A.!
the worlds an ocean and the people are
but sailors. Every individual is des
