THE BLIND GRADUATE
DR., B. F. Dixon's Splendid
Address On "IdeaIs."
Closing Exercises tf The North Carolina lnstitu-
lion For the Blind Were Attractive
And Entertaining.

The commencement exercises of the
North Carolina Institution for the Blind,
held yesterday in their auditorium, was
a most enjoyable occasion.
On the rostrum were seated Principal
John f. Ray. DR.. B. F. Dixon, the ora
tor of the day, Rev. G.. T. Adams, Mr..
Geo. Allen, President of the Board of
Trustees, Messrs. G. b. Edwards and
Hugh Morson, of the board, and the two
graduates. In the hall a splendid aud
ierce had gathered.
The exercises began with Splendidly
rendered anthem, The Radiant Morn, .
(Woodard), by the advanced classes, af-
ter which Rev. G.. Il. Adams delivered
the invocation.
Next came an essay by one of the
graduates, James ]. Marshall of Warren
county. His subject was Imagination
a Factor In Material Development. "
This he handled we'll, and in choice Eng
lish pointed out how the great faculty
of imagination had worked wonders in
the world.
The band of the institution next rem
dered most magnificently Heberts "Amcer
March, and then Geo. G.. Cox, OF Onslow
county, delivered his essay on True
Culture" He pointed out how this was
obtained and the effect it had on the in
dividual and those with whom he moved.
1t showed deep thought and was ably
presented.
The melodious "Sextette from Floro-
dora was next rendered by the band.
this being followed by the chorus Dutch
Lullaby" Ode Koven) by the primary
class.
Then came the literary address, DIR.
Dixon being most happily introduced by
Principal Ray. His subject was:
Ideals and this he began with a de-
liehtfully humorous introduction, which
he closed by SAYING that he liked Mr..
Ray just as he liked DR.. McIver, be-
cause both were full of ideas and both
thought so much of themselves.
Here he passed in rapid succession the
things which ought to be liked. He
urged the pupils TO think their school
the best in North Carolina, the best in
the United States. and the best in the
world saying that Cleveland county.
Ncrth Carolina, the United States and
this world were all the best things to

and closing facetiously.
He then took up his subject of Ideals
and for nearly a half hour the eloquent
orator held the peoples close attention

nninted cut how all in life came from
ideals and how we must look up to them,

showed how the small things of life had

mo man should ever think he is good
enough" said he. "and when | look into
the face of such, it must be the face of
fool or ar idiot" We must grow ana
SET high our standard.
His final words pointed to Jesus as the
great ideal and his peroration was a
beautiful one, in which he wished that
'as YOU came into life smiling. so may
YOU go out smiling, and reach to an inn
mortality mere glorious than ever sung
by angels
At the conclusion of the address. Pres
ident George Allen of the Board of Irus-
tees, presented the diplomsa to Messrs.
Cader G.. Cox and James j. Marshall, the
two graduates. In doing so he spoke OF
the great work dCne in education by the
State which now for both black and
white has State institutions for the UNI
fortunate, State institution that not
only provides with mental, moral and
physical development, but also teaches
Industrial arts that the pupils may be
able to go out in the world and cope
with their more fortunate brothers.
Speaking of these graduates, Principal
Ray declared them to be two as splen-
did young men as sent out by any insti-
tuition in the State. and this was APP
plauded.
Principal Ray then announced the
following distinctions in the girls indus
trial department.
First distinction, 9S per cent. or over.

Florence Duncan, Cornela Handy,
Mamie Mclean, Mollie Duncan. Cal
phernia Zachary, Annie Pool, Suwan-
nee Phillips.
Second distinction, 50 per cent or over,
Misses Girtha Koonce, Luna Franklin,
Estelle Fleming.
After the presentation of distinctions
the gymnastic class of Prof VIII Royal
gave an exhibition of physical culture in
the gymnasium. This was by the boys
and was eXcellentIy done.
In the lower rooms of the building
were displayed the industrial work of
the blind. These was in mattress and
broom making, sloyd, fancy work, sew
ing, etc, and the display was excellent,
being such as to reflect credit on people
with sight. much less the blind.
CONCERT AT NIGHT.
Last night a great audience was pres
ent at the final concert Every number
on it was admirably rendered the music
being exceptionally good.
The programme had on it selections
by the band, choruses, piano solos, ducts
and tros vocal solos and trios all max
ing up a concert greatly enjoyed.
This reflected credit on both the pupils
and teachers, and showed how well The
State is caring for the blind. The com
mencement exercises closed with this,
and nothing but praise can be said of the
entire exercises of the commencement
