The January Commencement.

The Lucky Thirteen" the gradu-
ating class Of the Normal School, have
been feted and toasted, and now most
of them have returned to their homes
with regret for school friends left be
hind, but with faces turned eagerly
/ forward toward new privileges, re-
possibilities and duties. They were
entertained Thursday evening by Miss
/ Mary White Cox, honorary member
in the parlors Of her home. Satur-
day evening they in turn entertained
i'm the school auditorium, a large and
appreciative audience, with the pre-
sentation Of IAN Open Secret, com
edy Of school girl life, which was in
terspersed with many jokes on facul-
Is and friends, and with the singing OF
class songs.
At the baccalaureate sermon sun
day evening, Dr. Summerell preached
from the text Of Acts 5:l5, from the
story Of the shadow Of Peter which,
by falling upon them, healed even
those of whose presence he was not
conscious. He drew beautiful lesson
~ unconscious influence.
The climax Of the exercises was, OF
course, Monday evening, graduation
night. The large Auditorium was
crowded beyond its utmost seating ca
pacity. Its platform was bordered
with a bank Of exquisite flowers, roses,
carnations and yiolets, which testified
the admiration and regard Of the
graduates friends. When the class
had passed down the aisle to their
seats Of honor on the platform, to the
music of beautiful march rendered
by Miss Minor, the salutatorian,
Miss Fannie Christian, welcOm ed the
guests. and then Dr. Jarman intro
duced DR.. Metcalf, OF Richmond Col
lege. who made a stirring address on
the Open Doors through which the
class might hope to enter upon its
heritage Of highest good and useful
ness.
Miss Nernie Nashti Blankinship,
first honor graduate, delivered the
yalodictory with a gracious tender
ness which won her a generous need
Of applause.
Just before the delivery of the dip o
mas Miss Katherine Button and Miss
Rubie Berry unveiled a copy Of one Of
Corot's masterpieces which Miss
Iockett Walton, class president, pre-
scented to the school with the special
condition that it he hung in the Office
Of President Jarmsn.
one of the most enjoyable features
Of both Sunday and Monday evenings
was the singing Of the glee club, which
gave several selections each night
with perfection Of shading and ex-
preston which won much praise for
AlltHl anu Alltli uilNlAOAf shi00 +hAAA'As
After the close If the exercises in
the Auditorium the graduates and
their invited friends repaired to the
reception hall, which was beautifully
decorated. The class colors, gray and
lavender, were carried out in festoons
Of gray Southern moss and purple
vistaria blossoms, which encircled aud
crossed the rotunda. The cOl0rs and
class flowers were emphasized too in
the refreshments, which were served
in dainty trays covered with gray
crepe paper and violets, and even the
cakes bore candy violets. 1t was near
" midnight when the last guests de-
parted, feeling that the unusual class
of January, 1908, had indeed had
commencement Of unusual interest.

made by the ladies of Springfield in
at the Fourth of July celebration and
picnic that year. 1t was the first ban
her of Thea stars and stripes used at
a Fourth of July celebration in Bon
Homme county. 1t was also the first
flag to float over the Springfield nor
NAL school at it's first session in 1881.
In 1872 it was suggested by the ladies
of Springfield that the residents of the
then little frontier town should cele-
brate the Fourth OF July with a picnic
at Emanuel creek, near Springfield,
but it was agreed that the pioneers
could not properly celebrate the day
without flag. 1t was proposed that
If the gentlemen would furnish the ma
terial the ladies would make the flag.
This was consented to and the flag
was made and carried at the head of
the procession on the march from
the town to the picnic grounds.
Mr.. Turner. in presenting the histori-
cal old flag to the state normal school,
stated that he regretted that the names
of the ladies who aided in making the
flag had not been preserved. but that
to the best of his recollection only four.
of them yet are living. and only one of
them within the boundaries of what

UNCLE SAM TAKES
CENSUS OF FLIES

Washington. d. c., June 25.-Uncls
Sam is busy these days counting house
flies.
He started sort of fly census for the
purpose of ascertainfng the relations
ship between the little buzzing pests
and typhoid fever. It is believed BY
some Of the agricultural department
entomologists that flies do an awful
lot towards spreading typhoid fever
germs around-in fact. several Of them
have been caught with the goods.
The plan. therefore. is to catch tho
wicked little insects count them, and
compile lot Of data for comparison
with statistics furnished by the health
department as to the prevalence "a
typhoid fever in localities where the
captures are made.
The fly census, therefore, has been
inaugurated in Washington and Pits
Aburg and may be extended to other
cities. DR.. L. o. Howard. CHIEF entomol-
ogist Of the department Of agriculture,
is in charge of the fly paper squad,
which posts sheets Of good old sticky
stuff around in public places and gath
ers them in again after captures Of IS
hours have been made.
