ing. no vaciilating-but a persistent
and patient industry in striving for
best results.
The address was pointed by illustra-
tive anecdotes which added t" tsforce.
II was full OF practical suggestion and
recommended many radical changes
in the system OF common school educa-
ton. He firmly believed that great
advances would be made in the methods
of public education, and that the high
school of a quarter OF a century hence
will be in fact the peoples college.
In this connection as indicative of
DR.. Folwell's views relative to the
practical side Of election he recently
introduced the following resolutions
at a meeting Of the fahulty and regents
of the University which was adopted:
Resolved that from and after 1904
every person admitted to this univer-
sity shall, be examined in reading,
writing, spelling, and composing the
English language; that all who fail
to obtain a credit of IS per cent. shall
be required to take instruction as pro-
vided and that no person shall ever
receive any diploma or other certih-
cate of merit or proficiency until he
shall have passed such examination
and obtained the specified credit.
Recently a candidate for an ad-
vanced degree submitted a theme
which was rejected by the faculty of
the University because it's construc-
tion and spelling were so poor as to
destroy all interest in it,"
Would it not be we'll to have the
final examination in every high school
embrace photography, applied gram
mar and English construction?
At the close of DR.. Folwell's address
Nj. F. Woodbury. presented the gradu-
ates with their diplomas, reviewing
briefly their work, and gave timely
council and advice. he said just the
right thing in the right way, and said
it we'll.

at the close of the exercises were
heartily congratulated by scores oil
