MRS. Mead, Ladies and Gentlemen:
cannot refrain from making acknowledge
ment in the presence Of the very distin-
guished honor which the board of trustees
and officers of this institution have been
pleased to confer upon me. / want to as
sure the young ladies of the graduating
class that / am both delighted and hon.
ored to be member of class of so.
Massachusetts has been and is first in
many things, but in nothing more than in
educational Institutions
II count myself most fortunate to have
been privileged yesterday to look upon
the faces Of graduates Of Smith college,
that splendid institution of learning for
the education Of the women, and l count
myself most fortunate to-day to look upon
the faces of the graduates of this gloriously
historic institution, that has done so much
for the eXaltation of women and whose
influence is felt not only in Massachusetts,,
but in every part of our common country.
mt. Holyoke is more than 60 years old
to-day, and the influence of this institu-
,tion in molding and shaping the citizens
of the nation can never be told.
~ am glad that we are demonstrating
in the United States to-day that the boy
shall have no more advantages than the
girl, and Mt. Holyoke and Smith and the
half dozen other Institutions of the land
are demonstrating that fact.
IAN educated womanhood is an open
school for citizenship every day Of the
year, and the home is the training school
for the mother, the soldier and the states
man. | wish for this graduating class all
good things, and l want you TO be assured
that all good things wait upon pure and
noble woman"

VNSTA MPED CHECKS.
New Ru,as For Banks, Charging
the Old Ones.

Commissioner Wilson of the Inter-
nal Revenue Department, has is
sued circular absolutely prohib-
iting banks from affixing stamps to
checks unstamped when presented
and requiring them to return same
to drawers. In his circular to coll
lectors the Commissioners says:
"You are directed to notify the
banks that are guilty of stamping
unstamped checks that if the prac-
tice is not Immediately discontinued
they will be reported to the United
States District Attorney for prose
cution.
The instruction contained in
Treasury decision 1896, under
the date of June %, 1898, to the eff
feet there was no objection to the
atfixing by the bank of the requisite
stamps to an unstamped check pre-
sented tor payment is hereby re-
voked.
This instruction was given to
meet an emergency Immediately
preceding the taking effect of the
stamp act on July l, 1898, in order
to obviate the necessity of returning
by the banks thousands of unstamp-
ed checks issued by drawers in ig-
norance of the law. The law being
now generally understood there is
no further need of such permission. >
This action was taken upon infor-
nation that certain banks had
adopted the practice of not requir-
ing stamps as an advertisement to
secure patronage against rivals.
