The good work accomplished by
Republicans as members Of the board

the county placed In good shape. At

35 per cent with Il promise OF an add
tional raise OF from 10 To rs per cent

the bulk OF taxes have been paid. the
funds In the treasury are at low ebb
and only the first quarters bills paid.

sAccAALAuseAre SERMON.


The Presbyterian church last even
Ing was packed to the doors with peo-
pie assembled to listen to the Baccha-
laureate sermon to the graduates OF
1901. Naturally the members OF the
olass. which will be the center OF at
traction next Friday evening, receiv-
ed good deal OF attention from the
crowd. They didn't seem to mind 1t,
however. but then there are no boys
among them. The music was espe-
ciaily fine, the Presbyterian and Epis-
copal choirs uniting for the occasion.
A very pleasing feature about occa-
sions OF the kind Is the opportunity af-
forded to cast aside sectarianism and
unite not as members of various
churches. but as Christians. the follow
ers OF the same God and the children
Of the same Father. We may be
Methodists. Baptists, Episcopalians
Presbyterians. Christian Scientists or
any other OF the numerous sects, but
first of all we are men and women
with many interests In common. One.
and not the least important of these,
is the education of those who are to
come after u.s.
Rev. c. T.. Perkins preached the ser
mon which. while directed more espe-
clally to the graduates, was interesting
to all. Mr.. Perkins is ready speak
listen to him. The text selected was
Proverbs 30. "Seest thou man
dillgent In his business. he shall stand
before kings He shall not stand be
fore mean men,
While many OF the important points
OF the sermon must necessarily be
omitted, 1t may be stated that the
central thought was the Importance
Of education In character building as
well aR a factor In success in life.
Inc point was emphasized that not
the least value of education was the
discipline obtained in acquiring 1t.
Many instances from the lives OF great
men were cited to show that certain
qualities such as obedience and per
severance were absolutely necessary
to success
The fact that the close of school
was the beginning of their life work
the fun Significance of the term
Commencement was impressed up
on the class. Some. the speaker
stated he understood. were to enter
higher institutions of learning and
continue the search for knowledge
Others would begin their life work at
once. There was no cause for dis
| couragement in the fact. II the
principles learned in the public
schools were carried out, II they
faithfully put into practice the train
ing received. there could be no doubt
of their ultimate success.
The speaker then went on to say
that the public did not fully appreci
ate The work of schools. Their eff
cheney and the value Of their careful
painstaking work were not as a rule
| estimated at their true value. Mr.
| Peritins regretted the recent uncalled
for attacks made on the schools
pointed ns they were through preju
dice and uttorly unjust In their accu
satlons.
