only progressive movement that has
originated In Russia for the past two
centuries.
To-day, her people, reused from
the lsthargy Of ignorance and super
stition, are struggling for measure
Of those inaliesable rights that are
inherent to mankind. and are de-
manding liberty OF the press, liberty
Of speech, and repressntativ
assembly empowered to make laws,
vote supplies and regulate the Oh
cial acts of the ministers, from rulers
that look on the people as q servile
mass. The speaker then referred
to the manner in which the authori.
ties stifled the press and prevented
elementary education getting foot
hold in the country, refusing even
sanction for college when no other
aid was asked, saying, 1T the chill
dren received any education at all
they received it from their parents
at home. Under that system Of gov
eminent, the chief aim OF which is
to suppress and coerce, Russians, It
Is now publicly asserted, have no
fatherland. Stagnation and decay
are undermining the Russian insti-
tutions."
Mr.. Krolik then dwelt at length
on the steps which marked progress
for the Russians in the last few
months, closing with: with her
armies defeated and her fleets driven
from the seas, Russia is today
wreck OF her former self; but from
the ashes of defeat, for new Russia,
founded upon humane principles,
whose laws, made by the people,
look to the betterment OF mankind,
the uplifting Of the lowly and the
dispelling OF the darkness OF igno-
rance, the world looks. For the
time is coming, must come, when all
men acknowledge that governments
OF the people, to be for the people,
must be by the people"
After the last literary part, and
before the class address, Miss Nellie
McCabe delighted the audience with
an instrumental solo, "The Whis-
pering Winds, by Wallenhaupt.
Mr.. Kaye, the speaker, was then
introduced, and gave the clsss and |
audience an address, the underlying
thought Of which was the universal
demand for the doctrine OF hard |
work. He said: 'There are Eve in
situations necessary to our exist
ence, viz: The home, the school, the
vocation, the state and the church.
and the aim of them is to prepare
Tor q life of service"
He drew many parallels and gave
several illustrations TO make clear
% all that those men who have
achieved the great successes In life
lave been those who have possessed
yreat capacities for hard work |
That genius is only the result Of
many years OF struggle in prepare
ion; that the world owes no man
living until he has earned it. He
'lso spoke OF the mistake, so often
made by young men, OF doing as
title as possible, in order to cover
Up those things which they have not
one.
He closed with an appeal to the
MEMBERS Of the class to prepare to
Q into the world for a life of SER
ice.
Throughout the entire address,
lr.. Kaye was given the closest at
ention, and the audience showed its
ppreciation by hearty applause.
Supt. G. A. Davis then in few
REF remarks presented the gradu-
tes with their diplomas, after which
be chorus rendered the Sailors
lee" bringing to a close the COM
lencement exercises of the class
'O5.
