Few Graduates

ut is a significant fact that nearly
so per cent of our pupils who enter the
first grade never get through the sixth
that only one-fourth of them ever get
into the high school, and that less than
one per cent ever graduate from a col
lege or university. The constantly in
creasing academic requirements made,
the fictitious standards that are con-
stantly growing higher, the artificial
examinations that are increasing for
the average child to pass account for
large proportion of those who drop
out. The kindergarten is perhaps as
nearly for all the children as we have
yet attained.
when our boys and girls grow up,
90 per cent of them must earn their
living by the labor of their hands, and
they have a right to demand that we
shall train. those hands and the brains
that guide them"

! testimonial fund raised by popular
subscription.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
were among those sending their con
gratulations and good wishes to Miss
Terry today. Other felicitous mes
sages of greeting poured in by cable,
post and special messenger from ia
nous people the world over. among
them leading players of America and
Europe.
Miss Terry at present is enjoying
good health and stated today that she
had no intention to leave the stage
and none to revisit America, though
her previous visits on the other side
of the Atlantic are among her fondest
recollections.
For a quarter of century Miss
Terry has been regarded as one of the
renowned actresses of the day. Her
fame was won chiefly while she was
the acting partner of the late Sir
Henry Irving She was born Feb
ruary 81, 1S4S, and was christened
Ellen Alice. She was but eight years
of age when she first appeared on the
stage. Later she appeared with a
company in which the present Mrs.

famous editor of Truth. Her first ap-
pearance with Irving was as Rather
inc in 1.-The Tanning of the Shrew."
Miss Terry's first husband was G. F.
Watts, the renowned painter, who
died in 1904, but after ten years the
marriage was dissolved. Her second
husband, Mr.. Wardell, whose stage
name was Charles Kelly, died in 1885.

/ Archbishop Bayley. The sacristy was
erected in 1879 and the building was
enlarged and the new sanctuary added
in 1888.
Since its dedication. in 1921. the
Cathedral has been the scene of
many conspicuous and historical
gatherings. No church in the United
States has witnessed so many conse-
erations of bishops and ordinations OF
priests as have taken place within its
walls. Twenty-six bishops have been
consecrated before its altar, and
many OF these prelates have occupied
leading position among the Amer
lean hierarchy Among the number
have been Purcell and Elder of Gin
cinnati: Whitfield and Eccleston OF
Baltimore; Fenwick of Boston. Du-
bois of New York: Whelan of Wheel
ing: Gross of Oregon. or the twenty
six bishops consecrated in the Ca
thedral, ten have received tneir
honors from the hands of Cardinal
Gibbons.
In the Cathedral three prelates
were invested with the insignia of
cardinalitial rank-Gibbons, Satolli
and Martinelli.
In the same edifice ten provincial
councils and three plenary. or nation
al. councils have assembled. Arch
bishop Kenrick presided over the first
national council in 1852. Archbishop
Spaulding presided over the second
national council in 1866, and Cardinal
Gibbons over the third national coun-
ell in 1884. The last national council
was attended by seventy-eight hish-
ops and abbots and by the leading
clergy of the country. or the seve{lty-
eight prelates who attended that cSunl
ell only fourteen survive.
