VALED1CToRY.

dress Miss Alwine Gauske spoke on
"Shakespeare's Women. She carefully
reviewed several of the most noted plays
to prove that Shakespear always gave
nobility to his woman and made men the
genius of their undoing. The essay was
we'll delivered and the vaied1ctory fol-
lowing which was short and from which
most of the stereotyped and more or less
t,resome thanks bad been eliminated.
Her parting words spoken for the class
were short and we'll expressed.
ADDRESS. 3
i Hon. W. s. Hammond who has come
to be so we'll known in this city, was in
troduced by Prof. Critchett and delivered
an excellent address, the theme of which
was the public school as the foundation
of the government of the United States.
He prefaced his remarks by saying that
the pupils of the public schools could be
thankful of two things: The advantages
of the public schools of Minnesota and
the great field in which they have to
work when they have finished the course.
He explained how there are no great
ancestral families in this country to
hamper and shut out the poor, but that
the great men of the country are those
who have struggled up through adver-
sity. This principle he illustrated by
citing Lincoln and the present great
masters of finance and trade.
He showed that the United States is
great crucible into which is being poured
all the nations of the world, the Jew, the
Greek, the German, the Norwegian the
|Swede side by side with all the others
and the public schools must decide
whether the test will stand, and it is do
ing this for out of its insignifcance is
being born the grandest people the world
has ever known. >
He complimented the schools upon
! the fact that two out of three of the
graduates who have left the high school
of this city have passed into higher in
stitutions from which they are being
graduated into the highest spheres OF life.
he encouraged the graduates in the
struggle by saying that the market was
always open for the vigorous hig Oh
principled young man and woman who
was willing to struggle against compet-
ition to bring out the best there is in him.
| After his address Mr.. Hammond turn
ed to the class and in a few appropriate
words presented each with diploma,
bidding them to 60 forth and do honor
