Ministers and Sociology

Hints have been floating about in the
atmosphere Of late to the effect that we
have too many ministers; that there are
30 many ministers that they cannot get a
living, anQ 50 on. 1t is alleged that many
f. young men 20 into this profession merely
because il is a bIoadcloth and white-hands
profession. aud that some OF them are not
fitted 70 gIapple with the serious ethical
problems of the day. And among other
things 1T has been suggested by some of
the religious papers that the young man
study OF sociology.
This is combated vigorously by secu-
lar lournal The gist Of this papers edi-
torial on the subject is tnat minister has
no business with sociology any more than
he has with the X-ray or the blast furnace:
that has business, ia short, is not with this
life, but with the life to come
The trouble with this argument is that
sociology has essentially an ethical and
spiritual SIDE which the x-ray and the
blast furnace have not. An preachers OF
power have been pretty good sociologists
I'm their day. The only difference between
their day and ours is that the conditions
are much more complex. The time has
passed when all the work minister had
to DO in the world was to prepare his
parisbiopnrS for pfernifr fuS3 ~ sho ,ir,o
has passed when doctor was only called
TO attend cases OF serious illness. The
modern minister and the modern doctor
have to fit people 10 live, and keep them
alive anG useful in the world as Ioug as
there is work for them 10 do; and the fu-
ture life may then be trusted TO take care
of itself. In all ages the great physician
and the great preacher have recognized
this, and have tried TO understand the
causes OF moral and physical disease, an d
70 reconstruct theological and social sys-
tens so as TO give health.
In spite OF the feud which has sometimes
existed betwene science and religion, the
two run in parallel lines, and the object OF
science, In the physical world, is exactly
the same as that OF religionin tue spiritasI
world-the good OF humanity. Tue scien-
tist can talk OF the greatest good Of the
greatest number, but no doctor kills pa
tent who il suffering from an interesting
disease, so that he can find out about that
disease and cure his next patient. The
minister may talk about the beauty OF
discipline. but IL he is a coed minister he
viii try 10 arrange matters 80 that as little
discipline as possible may be needed. He

The American People and Cuba.

To the Editor Of The Times:
How does It happen that under Re
publican form of government the wishes
OF the people can be so utterly disrecarded
as is now the case with reference to
the policy OF this Government toward Cuba?

would be few sugar kings, few Wall

but what are these counted against the

The vocal class again came forward and
with them came their instructor in music,
Miss Smith. Miss Smith sang a solo with
a chorus by the class. She is too we'll
known to require any commendation at
our hand, and her class acquitted them
selves as well as they had in the preceding
numbers rendered by them. They showed
that they had received excellent instruc-
ton under her charge, and spoke we'll for
her ability as a teacher.
A tableau representing b Ben
Adhem as he appeared when the angel
writing in the book of gold" appeared
to him, was perhaps the Prettiest scene
that was presented. Miss Mabel
Williams acted the part of the angel, and
SO real was the representation that one
almost forgot that she belonged to this
mundane sphere. Mr.. Dow Hix repre-
scented Abou Ben Adhem and Miss Fannie
1. Banden recited the story OF the angels
visit.
The last lumber on the program was a
drill by nine yo1ng ladies representing
the Vestal Virgins. They were dressed
in costumes all alike OF a soft white
material, which displayed to the best
advantage the ease and grace of their
movements. They represented the poses
of Liberty, Good Fellowship, Mercury,
Offering, and last, BenedictiOn. They
assumed the different postures gracefully,
and showed that they had received in
struction from n competent teacher. This
piece closed the entertainment which was
one OF the most enjoyable ever presented
in our city. Our public school turns out
pupils of which she. may be proud, and
we are proud to have such IA worthy
in our midst.

Mary S%hacklett, beauty OF the class-but
be that as it may.
To all OF US she's kind and sweet-it
seems her natural way.
She may some day be helpmate 10 one IN
coming years
The loving wife of noble knig hit, to glad
with smiles or tears.
Maude Hamlett-pretty, modest Maude-
il gay and bright as well;
Her many winsome ways 1t would be vain
to try to tel .
Modest in character as well as face, she's
certain to win Iame,
By being a good "school marm," which
is her highest aim.
Kittie Shacklett is our class belle, crown'd
by many a golGen curl.
Schools always dun and not the same,
without this Kittie girl.
We do not know what she will do when
she parts from us this night;
We are sure, though, she will always be
upon the side of right.
Annie Ripple, with her bright. BLACK
eyes, the youngest in our class,
Worked hard, and scarcely ever failed
with honor fair to pass;
And now it is most plain to see, in those
bright, sparkling eyes,
Though only just a graduate, as many a
sage she's wise.
Then there is Minnie Lauenstein, knows
Latin, German. well;
A very sweet, attractive girl, her knowl-
edge hard TO tell.
Well versed in several languages is this
most studious lass;
She well deserves her honors as Salutato-
rian of her class.
Rebecca Salyers, quiet, grave, she scarce a
word doth speak.
She studied hard and did her best,
throughout the live-long week.
She labored hard, she did. all year., and
did her part quite well;
IL she knows what she's going to do, she
Will not others tell.
John is our attorney when there's
anything to right;
RE her knowledge on all questions we
others gain much light.
She is dignIfied and noble, and so very
wise, yet true,
wonder why n head like hers could
hold all that she knew.
Mars, most punctuaI of our class;
her books are always neat;
She never of the teacher a lesson tries to
cheat.
Punctuality being n ever in the efforts OF
success,
Shell reach the pinnacle of fame, we very
well may guess.
Iast, but by no means the least, is our
bashful Bette Trail,
Who oft has quaked and trembled lest in
her grade she'd fail.

each member comirg in for praise and
criticism alike. The poem is given in
full in his edition, and we feel sure the
judgment passed upon it by our readers
will be very favorable to the young lady
composer.
The music class again came forward and
this time each member wore an apron
and carried a cup and saucer in their
hands. They marched in, about forty of
them, all keeping time to a march played
on the piano, and their song, Little
Walters" was well sung.
Hon. j. r.. Kirk, state superintendent
of public schools, was present and deliv-
cred an address. His talk was a good,
sensible one, and he spoke highly of our
schools. He said he had heard many
complimentary remarks about the schools
| ut this place, and that he found them 10
lie well founded. lie spoke of the
necessary equipments for a successful
school and urged our citizens to zealously
support it and deal with it literally that
it might still further advance its useful
ness.
Next on the program was a song,
youth" by twelve young ladies'. Their
part of the program was much enjoyed
and added greatly to the enjoyment of the
evening. They formed three quartettes
and each one sang in a manner that
reflected credit on their music teacher,
Miss Smith.
Miss Katharine s. Shacklett delivered
the valedictory and proved herself worthy
of the task. Her delivery was excellent,
and she presented her views clearly and
we'll. Her subject was 40 be Wise We
Must Know; To Know We Must Ask
and she handled the subject admirably.
Her farewell to the board of education, to
the teachers and to the pupils with whom
she had been intimately associated in her
school life, was delivered in a manner that
showed her words of regret to be sincere.
Prof. Demand presented the certificates
to the pupils who had finished the
grammar school, and then after a short
speech in which he compIimented the
class upon their earnest work
the past year he presented the
diplomas to the ten young ladies and one
gentleman who had completed the High
school studies. Following is a list OF the
graduates:
Fannie Imogene Bandon, Fannie Belle
John, Edith Fountain Mars, Efie Rebecca
