ground, hung suspended in the front of
the stage.
The graduates occupied seats on the
right of the stage, while Prof. Paul u.
w Keller, Rev c. f, Weed, and DR..
J. F. Pritchard, a member of the school
board were seated on the left III the
front row. The members of the faculty
of the North Side high school occupied
the second row on the stage.
When the curtain rose, hearty ap-
plause was vouchsafed to the members
of the graduating class, who after four
years of faithful work were about IL
enact the closing act in their high school
career and enter upon their commence
ment-the larger arena of life.
The invocation by Rev. Weed was
fervent and eloquent, and well calcu'
lated to impress the graduates and
Others with the importance of the
matter of laying solid educational
foundations. capable of supporting the
superstructures to he erected in the
arena of life after school days h"ve
come to close -superstructnres in the
shape of right and complete living
As will be seen by the above program,
Miss Margaret Estella Day was the
first to give her presentation, Eternal
Womanhood' This is Il profound sub
iect and the speaker handled it with
such ability that SHE held the undivided
attention of the audience throughout
her disbourse. She analyzed woman $
sphere and paid tribute to the moder j
woman. she declared that the higher
education is Just as important for the
complete development of woman as 1t
is for the unfolding Of tho latent powers
of man, and supported her assertions by
cogent argument. She showed that
the innate womanly tenderness and
other qualities of heart and mind char
acteristic of the gentler sex are not
blunted or obliterated by either thor
ough general education or profound pro
fessional education Such education
she contended, gave a tenderness OF
knowledge and science-an intelligent
well directe' tenderness addition tC
the innate tenderness of woman's heart
She cited the achievements of woman
and gave opposite illustrations of the
fact that woman has played an impor
taut part in the drama Of the centuries
| She declared that the status of civiliza
ton in any country could be accurately
measured by the position occupied by
woman. The truth of this assertion il
abvious. The much auded civiliZa
tions of the ancient Greeks and Roman,
was in reality lopsided and incapable o.
the highest development. Such develop
ment is impossible Of attainment whtr,
there is no social and intellectual equal
ity of the sexes.
The next speaker WAS John Edwar,
Carey, who gave a very able GRAFTON OF
the subject of Robert f. Lee" Hi
enunciation was clear and his deliver,
easy, fluent and loquent. Robert + Lee
the speaker contended, was one of tn
two greatest generals this country ha
produced
He justified Lees action in casting hi
fortune with his own state and tn
confederacy and showed that Lee wa
d truly good and great man and not
traitor He was the idol of the south
Lees emmence az man as Il citiZel

cognized in the north and future histC
rians will assign him an enviahle place

ness was fully recognized by the peopl
of the north 1t takes time To surmoun
the barriers of prejudice
Miss Ida Lnella Dedrick was the Las
member of the graduating class to max
her bow, and in her presentation on tn
Literature Of Childhood showed tha
fairy tales, as well ~ realistic iuvenil
literature, history and nature storie
