CLASS OF 's4.

49, ES OF THE WARREN
HIGH SCHOOL.
The Warren Opera House was
Gro v'led to overaowing last Friday
evening by those who came to wit
ness the first graduating exercises of
the Warren High School. An excel
lent program had been prepared by
the school and it was very much ap-
preciated by the large number pres
emf. Although the evening was un-
comfortably warm, the exercises were
OF sufficient interest to keep the au-
dience in close attention.
The stnge was beautifully decorot-
ed with potted plants and flowers.
The graduating class, principal and
teachers, Supt. John Moore, of
Crookston, the school board, and
the singers occupied seats on the
platform.
The exercises opened with a we'll
rendered chorus, entitled "Beautiful
STAR" by the Warren Glee Club, af
ter which was introduced Supt. John
Moore, of Crookston, who delivered
an able and scholarly address on
education. In his Introductory re-
marks he took occasion to con- pli-
ment our young city for it's progress
siveness, enterprise, elevated moral
tone, and deep interest taken in it's
school. Among the many valuable
thoughts to which he gave utteranee
we have spnce to mention one only
which we believe Was timely, namely,
his criticism OF the mnterialistic ten
dency OF our schools, and the desire to
make money getting the chief object
and end OF all educatiou. We are
too much given in our day to look
upon education as means to ac-
qUire dollars and cents. But that is
not the highest and noblpst aim OF
education. TO develop al the pow
ers of the human being, physical,
mental and moral, shonlh I've the aim
OF our schools, and thus enable the
boy and girl to make the most of his
or her earthly existence, to build up
u we'll rounded character, and to
open the mind to on appreciation Of
the beauties Of nature, science, liter
allure and the arts. Following the
address was n song Beautiful Riv-
err by the High School Qunrtette,
after which the Salntatorinn, Henry
Taralseth, delivered his oration on
"Progress OF Modern Civilization"
The saiutatory was in we'll chosen
words and appropriate, and the sub
jecL was treated in masterly man
ner. BY an arrangement between
the newspapers of the city this ora
ton is published in the Register this
week. the SHEAF publishing tile vale
dictory and essay OF Miss Anna,

tured the audience by his fine play
ing. The recitation :The Bridge
Keepers Story by Leora Easton
was given in q clear voice and show
ed careful training and fine elocu-
tiolary powers. ''Tules Out of
School was nicely snng by the High
School Quartette, after which came
the essay and valedictory by Miss
Anna Swandby, her subject being
"a Glance Mt Our Mother Tongue. =
