The commencement exercises
were brought to a close at half
past ten O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing, at which time the gradual
ing exercises occurred. The
class this year was the largest in
the history of the school, num-
bering twenty members, and be-
sides these certificates of profile
iency in the various industrial
arts were delivered to sixty eight
students. After an invocation
of Gods blessings there was a
vocal selection rendered by a |
quartette consisting of Misses /
Waller, Critz, Mabry and Hand, !
and then President Kincannon
introduced Hon. E. S. Gambler.
jr., the orator Of the occasion. /
Mr., Gambler took for this sub |
ject topic which stands upper /.
most in the minds Of the major /
ity of public citizens today, /
What Will Pay?" and along this |
line delivered a thoroughly prac- |
teal and dignified address. It
was the original intention of The /
Commercial to print Mr. Can /
dler's address i'll full, but press
of other news matters makes
this an impossibility, so that our
readers will have to content /
with a brief synopsis /
of the orati on, which was pro-
nounced by all who heard it to
be a gem, from both a literary
and an oratorical standpoint.
The speaker began by a COM
plimentary reference to the peo-
pie of Columbus, to whom he
said that he was especially CRATE
full for many kindnesses which
had been shown him in years
gone by and which he assured
them were sincerely appreciated
He next spoke of the college and
of the other educational insti-
tutions of the city, giving a his
tory of the historic Fran kiln
academy, which was one Of the
first publib schools to be estab-
lished in the state and which
stands today as model school
Of the class which it represents,
and reverting to his subjebt
proper the speaker in part said:
"There is no longer leisure
and little socia ability, but we wit
ness CONSTANT strife, increasing
friction and approaching dan
gers. Everybody, everywhere
n a mad race in the effort to re-
ain present possessions and dis
,ance all in the acquisition of
