construction work of the world is GO
ing on at the bottom ofthe sea.
The Grafton of the evening was given
by Aloysius ID. Keller, whose subject
was International Peace. He said that
the peace question is the question of
age. 1t is of vital interest to every
class of people. The hope of an inter
national arrangement of this kind was
expressed by Franklin. In the present
conference 26 nations are represented,
called together by the czar of Russia.
They have gone far enough in the de-
velopment of the arbitration question so
it will be rather inconvenient for any
OF the nations in the conference to enter
upon war if there be any way out of
the difficulty by arbitration. An inter
national government composed of a
legislature, judiciary, and executive,
will doubtless be the outcome of several
conferences.
Manual training was presented by
Louise Elizabeth Weber, whose sub
ject was, The Value of Manual Train
ing. She held that it is not what we
think but what we do that makes for
progress, and this is where the present
system of education has been weak.
The latent power of practical appIica-
tion of the things learned has remain
ed undeveloped. The correlation of the
hand and mind has not been realized.
Only beginning has been made in
the kindergarten. Most of the tramps
are we'll educated. Many have col
lege education. The mistake has been
that they have not been taught how to
use their hands. Colleges of the arts
should be started where the science
that has been developing theoretically
for years would find application to
practical and useful lines.
Margaret Sansum was the valedic-
torian of the class. Her subject was
the Nobel Prize. Alfred B. Nobel was
a great scientist and physician. He
made many inventions, more than 100
all told. He is best known as the
founder of the Nobel prize. This was
a prize left for the best discoveries or
acts in five different lines, namely,
physics, chemistry, physiology or
medicine, most literary or idealistic
production, and the most important
act making for universal peace. Theo-
dore Roosevelt was awarded the last
and has used it to establish perpetual
commission for promoting peace be-
tween capital and labor. Miss Sansum
said that she hoped the Nobel prize
spirit would actuate the class of 1907 as
they are about to enter upon their
future work. She remembered in her
expressions of thanks and gratitude
for pleasures and conveniences of the
past during their school work, the par
ents, the tax payers, the board of edu-
cation and teachers, and finally the
members of the class.
The benediction was pronounced by
Rev. Louis Goddard.
Supt. Gehrand had charge of the

Rev. r. e. Dennison, of Janesville,
gave the graduation lecture at the Con-
gregational church Tuesday evening,
