The festivities were opened with
selection by the orchestra, followed by
the Invocation by Rev. Mr.. Litteil.
The saiutntory, by Emma sehradeT,
was very bright effort. She reviewed
the Importance of the commencement
and babe those present hearty well
come.
Olive Mix read paper on Non sibi
Sed. AlIIs." She referred to the great
men OF the day who sacrificed anything
and everything to advance themselves.
while that great Swedish soldier, Gus
tavus Adolphus, who was conscientious
and true and crossed the water to fight
for his fellow men. was n type of the
unselfish worthy OF emulation. Queen
Victoria, of England, and Francis VIII
lard, of America. were clussed as the
greatest women Of to-day.
The chorus, "oh. Italia, Italia. Below
ed"' was rendered by the class. The
rendition of which won new laurels for
the musical instructor. Miss Lucy Rob
inson. The number certainly was
gem.
The recitation by Martha Ross, en-

with great tact and showed the speaker
to possess q well-tralned delivery.
Hero Worship and Its Materials" by
J. Harold Brennan. was a very eloquent
grafton. Said he: Genius has been
worshIpped, afterward revered; heroes
should be great in some things, but IL
they fail in morals, they should not re-
ceIve praise" He paid glowing tributes
to Carlisle. Shakespeare, Goethe and
Socrates.

referred to the building of character,
which is more beautiful than the handi-
work of mankind can create. Abraham
Lincoln and Englnnds Gladstone have
characters that are even more lasting
than bronze or marble.
The violin solo. "FantaSle Character
istique," rendered by Grace Summers,
proved a very pleasing number.
German School System.
The theme of Tho German School
system," by Ada Fischer. was placed in
very capable hauds. She said that
Germany stands first ms nm educator.
It's public schools were founded by clo-
tar, the second. Frederick William was
a great advocate of compulsory educa-
tion and believed in the four-year
teachers course. Germany has estab-
iished three fundamental principles
which have proven uccessful-profes-
