No more convincing argument has evel
been, or for that matter, could ever bt
offered, for the higher education of women
than the ninety-four sweet girl graduate:
ranged on the stage of the Girls Higf
School auditorium last evening, ready tC
receive from Superintendent Webster that
engraved sheet which declared that theil
school days, as far as the public school
education goes, were over.
Certainly no prettier sight could be
witnessed than these intellectual, vigorous
lovely young women, in dainty white
gowns, hugging huge bouquets of bright
colored blossoms, and with ready hands
and smiling faces eagerly applauding each
speaker who found his greatest pleasure
and happiest effort in praising them.
The graduating exercises were an
nounced for o'clock, but tardy School
| Directors delayed the exercises for more
than half an hour. However, the happy
arrangement of the vast hal, with its
decorations OF bright and pretty blossoms
! kept the large audience busy admiring
| till the entrance Of the graduating class.
The pupils themselves contributed sew
eral excellent choruses to the programme,
and were compelled, in answer to much
merited applause, to give an encore.
The speakers for the evening included
! Charles L. Darlington, president OF the
! Board of Education Z. J. Gallaeher r,
chairman Of the committee on secondary
education; Surprintenden, r. II. Webster
