Mr.. Fitxpatriek's Address.
Mr.. Ntzpatricks address closed the
program, and followed the presenta-
ton OF the DIPLOMAS and medals by
Rev. DIR. Fitzpatrick, who briefly in
troduced the SPEAKER.
In opening, Mr.. Fitzpatrick said
there was no class Of people who were
better citizens. or more loyal to the
flag Of the nation, than the Catholics.
and Of bitterness Of creeds. was past,
and that denominations no longer were
arrayed one aiyainst the other.
The Catholic school," he said,
teaches no disloyalty to the country,
but g higher and better citizenship.
The Catholic school has for its aim
the building of character the moulding
of better men and women, and the
training for better citizenship. The
crying need In our system of educa-
ton Is the education Of the con-
science. The conscience should be the
governor Of the entire mind"
We believe that no government Of
the people can long endure without
love Of truth and Justice"
Referring to the public schools. he
said: I'VE have no word Of reproach
for the public schools. As far as they
go they have been power for the up.
building Of the nation. But in them
the training for morality is almost lost
sight of in the pursuit Of secular
knowledge. The higher moral char
acter is not developed, The lack Of
conscience and heart is responsible for
the betrayals of public and private
trusts" II
Touching on the aims of the Cath
Ole school, he declared: 1.-THE build
ing Of high and noble men and women,
and the training OF such, is the aim
Of the Catholic school,
In advising the class regarding the
conduct OF it's members thru life, he
said: Honest poverty is. to be pre-
ferred to questionably obtained riches.
The poorest is he who suffers most.
The richest are those who find in this
life the most Of sunshine and the least
OF shadow. You may obtain it by doing
your work In this world well, by doing
well whatever duty lies in your path
way to do. by never betraying trust,
either public or private, that is en-
trusted to you. You graduates, we
expect OF you a higher morality, and
better citizenship. On one hand lies
selflshness and material gain, on the
other unselfshness. Reach out, lift
up and help along life's pathway every
crushed and broken heart. Remember
your motto. mo Victory Without La
bor' Roll MP your sleeves. The world
wants men who can and will do
things"
