nr, waiter c. Hartridge was introduced
~ ~, George a. Mercer, president of
the Board of Education. who said that
IL had been the custom OF the board in in
wing gentlemen to deliver addresses to
srdduatng classes to single out graduates
OF the High School who have arisen TO
prominence, and by their useful and In
nuential lives have Illustrated the value OF
lts Training. Mr. Hartridge was greeted
with applause and began by an ac-
hnoWledgement of the compliment paid
- - NOA- -hltittfs anu an EXPRESSION of
ms appreciation of the honor done him an
ms selection as the speaker to address the
largest graduating class ever turned out
by the High School.
Mr.. Hartrldge's theme was largely the

with need as great for good women and
men of sterling worth as that which was
felt at its birth. The country and the
state Mr.. HarTidge said expect much of
such young men and women as are in the
graduating class, and he counseled them
to give their best thoughts to their citizen
ship, the men directly and the women
through that wonderful influence thai Is
exerted by the, truest of the sex
Col. Mercer followed Mr.. Hartridge He
spoke upon the necessity for a display of
interest in the schools Of the city for a
realization of the hopes of the Board of
Education and others with the education
of the children OF the city most keenly at
heart. He asked that visits be paid all
the grades of the schools, and that none
troubling the teachers. Parents, Col Mer-
Ger holds should familiarize themselves
with the methods employed in the schools
and the progress In the way Of education
that is being made from year to year.
Such interest as visits TO the schools
would betoken would greatly encourage
the board, the teachers and the children
and compass those results for which those
chiefly interested in the great tide of pro-
press are most DESTROYS.
The award of diplomas was the last
thing, save the song of the grid graduates
in adieu. The names of the girls and boys
were announced by Mr.. Train. and each,
as they came forawrd, was presented by
Col. Mercer with the neatly tied roll The
