MILLS COLLEGE:
Graduation Exercises Presented at That
Popular Center of Learning,

Graduation Exercises Presented at That
Popular Center OF Learning,
OAKLAND, CAL. May 26.-The gradu-
ates of the grammar department at Mills
College presented their graduating exer-
cises last night. A very neat printed pro-
gramme, adorned with a cluster of golden
peoples, announced the numbers, which
consisted OF essays, Rotations, Japanese
movement exercise with fans, with plen-
tiful amount of music, both vocal and in
strumental. Of the latter two of the num-
bers were for the piano and two for the
violin, and all were good. The names OF
the graduates and their parts on the pro-
gramme were as follows:
Evangeline switzer, piano solo; Mabel Gum,
violin solo; Addie Taylor, recita ton; Grace
Oliver, vocal solo; Ethel Westlake recitation;
Elna Miller, violin solo; Elizabeth Kimball,
essay; Linda swanberg; French essay; Knth-
essay; Amelia Hall, piano solo; Matte Kirby,
recitation.
The platform was prettily trimmed, and
the class motto, do We Eexte thynge,"
was wrought in flowers.
AT the close of the exercises Miss Wit
tenmyer, the teacherof the grammar class,
spoke few words concerning the lmpor-
lance OF the grammar course as laying a
solid foundation for future study. These
young ladies are now fitted to enter
either the college preparatory or the semi
nary course at Mills, or if they go else
where they are ready for any high school
or normal school. Several of tuem have
already taken some study in advan ce of
their course, and proper tribute was paid
to their other teachers. The twelve gradu-
ates were then formally presented to Mrs.
Mills, the president of the college, who
welcomed them with words of apprecia-
ton and advice and granted to each q
diploma.
DR.. Hallock, late of Tacoma, followed
with short address, congratulating them
on the completion of this stage Of their
education and pointing them onward to
greater heights. After the formal exer-
cises refreshments were served, and the
pleasant occasion which inaugurated new
custom in seminary life came to an end.
The seminary and college commence
ment exercises will be held Wednesday
afternoon. On that occasion Signor Foil,
noted bass singer from London, who Is
visiting in California, will be present and
will sing, Professor Lisser accompanying
him on the piano.
The prospect for the coming year of the
school is good, more applications than
usual having been received from prospec-
tive students.

Omaha, st. Louis and New York.
The new rates go into effect on the 18th

In order to more clearly show the bene-

AIM OF THE KINDERGARTEN.-T
chief aim of the Kindergarten is the
forming and developing of character.
The kindergarten cares much more
| about making child helpful, kind and
considerate, than about the number OF
mats he weaves, though the weaving of
, mats is one means toward this very
end. Their child-gardening does not
consist in raising crops of paper chains,
clay BIRDS nests and sewing cards, but
in bringing to flower growths of kind
ness, courtesy, industry, helpfulness
and unselfish action. She has to get
out of her garden plot many weeds of
selfishnesss. stubbornness, fretfulness,
idleness and the like; but she does not
so often pull them up by the roots-a
dangerous thing to do when seeds are
sprouting-as crowd them out with
flower seeds.
The San Francisco Chronicle says
''The kindergarten is no longer toy
of philanthropy, pleasing and interest
ing experiment. 1t is to-day recogniz-
ed as one of the most potent factors in
modern civilization. The time is near
when the universal establishment of
these schools and their generous en-
dowment will come to be acknowledged
as one of the chief duties of every pro-
gressive commonwealth. When San
Francisco shall have solved her fnan
cial problems, when needed improve
ments and additions to her school
buildings shall have been completed,
she can do herself no greater honor and
confer upon her citizens no more lasting
benefit than to incorporate the free
kindergarten into her common school
system, and to accord this department
hearty and generous support"
