OF charming tableaux, supposed to rep
resent the future of the class While

ner' the class prophet in a delightful
. manner explained its meaning, en-
phasizing her remarks in many cases |
E by reading fitting selections from the |
d poets. Between the tableaux Mise, |
Mary l.. Powers and Katie 81. Clair
entertained the audience with good
music
The class history was then read by
Miss Cora Cole, one Of the full gradu-
ates Of the class.
Dr. l.. w. Kline made the address Ia
the graduating class. His subject was:
Some Elements Of an Ideal Life, and
he discussed particularly the modern
gospel Of work. In strong, well chosen
language he set forth the value Of
ideals, showing that all real progress
was the development Of an ideal. He
made clear the fallacy Of the idea that
happiness was best gotten from life Of
leisure, and that man might be "big.
ger' than anything that could happen
to him.
In conclusion he urged the class, a. =
teachers, to search diligently for the 4,
hidden talent that might lie deeply ,,
buried in the breast Of any child COM
mitted to their care
