GRADUATION
EXERCISES
Punahou Preparatory
Glass Finishes
Course.

ner of Chas. R. Bishop Hall yesterday
morning, listened with interest to a
lengthy program which marked the
closing exercises of the largest class
ever graduated from the Punahou
Preparatory school. The various mem
bers of the class, which numbered thir-
ty-four, gave a number of essays, and
were assisted by the other classes and
the school as a whole.
The exercises, which began at $3.50
a. m. were opened with an Invocation"
by the Rev. E. B. Turner. after which
Psalm XCT' and a Hymn of Praise
were given by the entire school. Sew
eral essays were then given, those by
Walter McDougan on the "Kohala
Ditch" and Charles Davis on Sig
nificant Pages from Hawaiian Histo-
ry," being among the best. Ruth
Harrington, a little tot from the lower
grades, delighted the audience with
the recitation Little Orphant Annie
AT the close of the essays, Principal
L. P. French addressed a few words
to the class, reminding them of new
responsibilities which would be put
life has been built soundly and honest
ly," said Mr.. French. the superstruc-
ture Will be a good one After pre-
senting the diplomas, he introduced
Col. w p. Hepburn, Congressman from
Iowa. who delivered the address to the
class.
He began by expressing the wish that
many of those who were graduating
would continue their studies through
the High School and in some of the
mainland colleges, for the reason that
the man or woman of heart was the
one who had the greatest knowledge.
He urged them to study carefully every
step as they progressed, to strive to
get each lesson perfectly rather than
to get over them quickly, and to gain
definite and accurate knowledge. AS
to the financial value of an education,
he brought it before the class very
clearly. Statistics as he explained,
show that the average educated man
receives an income of $1,000 a year, or
in a lifetime of forty years $4,000,
while an uneducated man receives but
$4,000 for the same length of time, a
difference of 900 in favor of the
former. Allowing twelve years for an
education, or $50 days of actual school
ing in each year, every school day
represents a cash value of $40.
Mr. Hepburn further spoke of the
advantages derived from knowing how
to study and of having the power of
analysis. Character was also a very
necessary thing to have, character of
the mind. and above all mental and
moral character.
I'm doing what I have told you" he
concluded, you will not only bless
your own lives, but the lives of those
who are interested in your welfare"
The exercises were brought to a close
by daintily executed "Sunflower
Dance given by 10 girls attired to
represent the chosen flower and the
presentation by the graduating class OF
