for the blending of art and music il
the education and training of young
womanhood. other schools may exec
in the severe studies, and doubtless
they do but nowhere else do we fine
on the platform at commencement
exercises a young lady graduate with
a violin, another seated behind a harp
= a third at a piano, and fourth with
"A either, guitar or mandolin. And this
is no kindergarten display either, fol-
the mere qualification of parents and
friends who are ready to applaud inn
PROJECTIONS as they would be to shower
bouqets on artistic triumphs; il is
meant to stand for the worth of an
institution which makes Salt Lake peo-
pie proud of Jennie Woodrow HaWley
and Iottie Levy.
Hence the annual commencement OF
st. Mary's is always a triumph for art
and music in.Salt Lake, and yesterday
triumph was perhaps its greatest
The programme was a long one, last
ing from 10 in the morning until nearly
O'Clock. nevertheless every number
was short and sweet and no encores
followed, hence the hours glded away
without tediousness. The stage was
devoid of decorations, saving that
Old Glory was gracefully Topped and
formed canopy above it. A little
green flag seeking protection in the
folds of the stars and stripes inspired
the thought that perhaps it, coveted the
position Cuba was occupying in the
American mind Just now.
MUSICAL FEATURES.
The opening number, ''Marche Triom-
phale,' from Goria, was a splendid rem
dition on four pianos, two harps and
TWO violins. A potpouri, Echoes from
Erin" poured out Tom Moore's soul in
mandolins and guitars, with either
and piano accompaniment
THE Blind Girl to her Harp" was
another pleasing production, with just
enough of music from piano, harp and
violin to clearly bring out the sweet
voice of the soloist, Miss T. Ryan. So
also was the overture, Light Cavalry"
''The Revel of the Naiads," by the
senior elocuticn class, was as chaste
as it was beautiful, and movement and
music blended in perfect harmony. Per-
critics standpoint was the last num-
Der, -'Wollenhaupt's Grand March -

Of harps. Thus We're ten pairs of hands
gliding over the key boards and strings
in perfect rhymith to the Inspirations of
Berg. One almost involuntarily looked
up to behold the patron saint of con-
vent music. st. Cecilia, come down from
the skies.
THE ESSAYS.
The essays. or a whole. were better
than the average productions of the
sweet girl graduate prone to be lavish
in adjectiVes. Some of the ideas were
catchy and up to date, and they all
breathed a patriotic spirit. 1t may
he pardonable if the adulation for
Dewey has not escaped the convent.
The young ladies of the graduating
class reflected the careful training of
their evolutionary teacher as well as
the claim of the convent to keep abreast
of the day in literature. For instance
1.-THE Art Factor in Life was the sub
ject of Miss ]. Hays, and PRO Patria'
the theme of Miss G. Bailey.
The valedictory essay delivered
by Miss D. Kinney, entitled Follow
ing up the Worthiest," was one of the
most interesting papers read at any
of the coinmencements held this year.
BISHOP SCANLAN.
When Miss Kinney concluded, and
after the applause subsidized, Bishop
Seaman arose TO address the gradual
ing class, but first prefaced his re-
marks by some timely illusions on the
aims Of education. which he contended
should be coeval with the end of man.
The kernel of the bishops short adj
dress lay in the proneness Of the times
to measure a mans brains rather than
the wealth of the human heart; to
stifle all that was great in the soul and
leave it a stranger to purity and hon.
eSty. Then turning to the graduating
class he admonished them in that pa
ternal fashion which Bishop Seaman
knows so well to employ, and which
is marked by earnestness without elo-
cutiOn.
CLASS MEDALS.
The literary and musical programme
was twice interrupted for the distribu-
ton and awarding of class medals. i
