timid heart. But the true education meyer
makes man woman. nor a woman

THB KEY TO THE FUTURE.
Il am not here to fatter. yet I think I
can say without any sort OF reservation
that the educated woman holds the key
70 lhe future. IL we are to Judge the fu-
ture by the past. the development OF the
Worio VIII be the resultant Of two op-
posing forces. the progressive and the
conservative. In some important senses
woman has been the worlds progression
ISL In more and deeper respects she has
been the worlds conservator.
Anthropologists tell us that racial de-
Velopment has been through two stages
hrst the military, when tribes lived I'm
war and plumber. Then followed the era
OF life by industry. But who was the first
TO lead in this new era? Woman She
was the first agriculturist. the first shep-
nero, the first weaver, the first potter. the
first mlller-the first TO lead out OF the
military into the Industrial world And
even now her instruments OF warfare are
said to be implements OF industry. A TO
cent writer IN the Contemporary Science
Series has said that woman is plainly in
advance Of man IN the evolution Of the
species. Whether this be true or not, IL
cannot be doubted that woman is In many
respects nearer to-day the ideal man than
man himself"
THE GAIT on, THE IrApTTI
Dr. Pollard spoke Of woman as the
great conservativc force, and in conclud-
ing his most admirable address said:
We'll may woman be called the salt of
the earth. There are graces of tender
ness and sympathy, modesty, and grace,
which. II woman do not preserve. will
disappear forever. Never cruelty in your
selves those virtues which alone make
woman truly great. For II the salt have
lost its SAVIOR, wherewith shall it be
sailed?
Let me. in conclusion. congratulate you
on finishing your college course. You have
yet a work to do. Do 1t nobly, cheerfully,
hopefully. Do 1t In the spirit of the sing
ing bird. which sggs because ii loves 10
sing, and loves the song
DIT Pollard took his seat amid loud APP
plause and the audience was shortly
thereafter dismissed with the benediction.
