to place it, and then draw towards it.
The second suggestion is that God
is still building His universe and
needs your help. The whole story of
growth is the story of the universe.
Work out your salvation.
The third suggestion is that only
he who serves grows. All that you
get you must leave behind, all that
you become will go with you, whether
good or evil. Becoming ever higher
and nobler is what God has decreed
for every one of us. You may go
through all Of the processes
of the schools and not be
educated. A school does not educate
an immortal mind, but the gym
nasium of the minds own activity does
it, Some men know everything, but
lack the power to take hold and
work successfully. Education leads
to self control. Self control is not
stoppage or restraint, but self mas
terry. The best that a school can do
is to inspire you, TO release, not hold,
you. You study not to get facts but
to acquire self development. 1t is
the man who controls his own intel
lectual life who leads other minds.
Keep on, face heavenward, wher-
ever you are. Remember that you
must grow anyway and that you can
grow wisely.
The address was followed by most
artistically rendered solo, 'Madrigal,"
Chaminode, by Miss Josephine Holt.
President Soaring said that he had
the pleasure of presenting for gradua-
tion one of the strongest and largest
classes ever graduated from the school.
State Superintendent w. w. Fender
CAST was introduced and addressed
the class. He said that his previous
visits to Mankato had been very en-
joyable, but the present visit has been
an inspiration from beginning 10 end.
The fact that better classes are being
sent out each year shows that the
school, the city and the state are
growing. Education does not proceed
from lessons learned by rote. Every
thing must cope at the end Of the
