doesn't require running.
II there is q hungry one. give
him part Of your dinner.
II there is . Gull one, help him

Commencement Exercises

Last Saturday evening large audi ence gathered at the Y. M. c. A. Hall to witness the graduating exercises of the Treadwell Public School. A class of four boys and one girl on that occasion completed the course of study, and without exception acquitted themselves most creditably.
 The stage was beautifully decorated, with streamers of bunting. red and white-the class colors-and, suspend ed in the center, ''Old Glory.
 Seated upon the stage were the class, the teacher, Mrs. Rood, Judge Irwin, Rev. Krause, and Messrs. Thom and Kinzie, representing the school board.
 After piano solo by Mrs. Brown, and the invocation by Rev. Krause, Lloyd Carpenter, the salutatorian, step ped to the front of the stage. His ap- pearance was greeted by profound si- lence. After extending brief greet ing to the friends who were there as- sembled, he launched forth into the midst of his subject "The American Flag. His demeanor was calm and dignifed, his delivery clear and dis tinct, and the subject was handled in manner that showed careful study and deep reverence for all that the grand old flag represents.
 A solo by W. W. Shorthill followed, Building Castles in the Air.
 Eddie Christoe, whose theme was, sFailure and Success" proved himself master of his subject and credit to his instructor.
 The subject of Arbitration" was delft ly handled by Bernard Noonan. His thoughts were profound and to the point.
 A soprano solo by Mrs. Walter Gould, "For All Eternity" was we'll rendered.
 David Christoe, the class phrophet and poet, was we'll named. While all who preceded him had merited and won applause, David brought forth a storm of merriment as he told how his schoolmates would climb the ladder Of fame to the topmost round.
 It remained for Miss Grace Day, the yaledictorian, to say to the the teach CT, her classmates and schoolmates, and the friends the last sad words of parting that are always touching to | those who think that school days end ed, the battle of life begins indeed. i Her theme was "Our Every Day Duties.
 A pretty little solo, by Miss Alice i Henson, an address to tke class by Judge Irwin, solo by Mir. Barrack l man, and the awarding of the diplomas ! by Mrs. Rood closed this part of the program.
 We understand that this little class of pupils had for their motto, "Stars shine brightest dark nights. Sur rounded by the gloom of difficulty, the achievements of these young people have a special significance to the inhabitants of Douglas Island. The fact that we have schools, good schools, where our children may climb the first steps that lead to knowledge is a comforting thought to all parents. Other classes will graduate from our schools, and, perhaps, as the years roll round higher grades may be attained. Truly after the long years of dis couragement the star of hope shines brightly upon the educational institu- tions of Douglas Island.
