Of the members Of the graduating class,

The name of Judge R. X. Nichols does
not appear on the program, but just the
same he occupied few OF the most i'm
portant minutes of the evening in his
brief remarks to the class and his dis
cusson of the school room situation in
this district. Judge Nichols as mem
Der of the school board, called attention
to the citizens of the congested condition
of the city schools. He pointed out the
the fact that some OF the teachers were
compelled to teach much larger num-
Der OF pupils than they could manage
satisfactorily, that for want of proper
facilities it became necessary to conduct
several grades of the schools in the un-
healthy easements of the big buildings
and even at that the rooms were too
crowded. ave are in need of more
school room," said Director Nichols,
"and it is time for immediate action on
the part of the taxpayers in school dis
trict No. I. The matter has been re-
peatedly called to Jour attention and up
to the present time the situation is I'M
changed. We have not the facilities to
accommodate the enrolment of our
schools and | beg of the parents and
guardians of these children to take some
action that will alleviate the condition.
1t is duty you owe to your ancestors, a
duty you owe to yourselves, your child
rem and your God"
The eloquent appeal of Judge Nichols
called forth repeated applause from the
audience, proving beyond any doubt that
his remarks were going home and Nere
well founded.
Miss Frances Schorn played exception
ally we'll on the piano, furnishing one OF
the musical selections of the evening.
Donald J. Calkins' salutatory address
was we'll delivered and contained some
rare displays of brain work for young
man.
/ The vocal solo of Miss Mia Foster was
appreciated by the large audience and
she won deserved applause.
The ladies' trio, composed OF Mes
danes Linn. Horsley and Conner, sang
with their usual depth OF feeling and re.

Der on the program. He held the rapt
attention not alone of the graduates, but
the crowded opera house listened intent

the possibilities for the young man and

work, who is honest, industrious, and
sober.

Secret Griefs.

Trouble comes in many forms. 1t
| may be bitter disappointment which
falls upon a young life when love has
not been true, or when character has
proved unworthy, turning the fair bios
SONS of hope to dead leaves under the
feet. There are lives that bear the
pain and hidden memorials of such a
grief through long years, making them
sad at heart even when walking in
sweetest sunshine.
Or it may be the failure of some
other hope, as when one has followed
bright dream of ambition for days
and years. finding it only dream. Or
it may be the keener more bitter grief
which comes to one when a friend is
untrue or disgraces himself. The an
guish which love endures for others
sins is among the saddest of earth's
sorrows.
If we knew the inner life of many
of the people we meet, we would be
very gentle with them and would ex-
cuse the things in them that seem
strange or eccentric to us. They are
carrying burdens of secret grief.
