ments was held at the Third Ward

large number of people We're present

rendered by the High School Orchestra

this department of the school.
A feature of the program was a de
bate on the wi1dom of the naval cruise
Two speakers supported each side of the
question. Good arguments were brought
by both sides which showed that these
young people had been reading intelli-
gently AMI thinking as they read The
judges decision was two affirmative,
one negative.
Another feature of the exercises was
the exhibit. Specimens of the work in

CLEVELAND, DEAD
)eath Was Sudden and OCcurr-
ed at Princeton N. J.
Wednesday.

Ex-President Grover Cleveland died
suddenly Wednesday, death being
due to heart failure complicated with
pulmonary thrombosis and oedema.
While it had been know that Mr..
cleveland for three months had been
suffering from severe attacks of
rheumatic gout and acute indigestion
his death was unexpected and a great
shock.
Grover Cleveland, twenty second
president of the L. S. and the first
democrat elected after the Civil war,
was born at Caldwell, New Jersey,
March IS, 1887 and his boyhood was
passed in central New York where his
father was a Presby yterian minister
| AT the age Of l6 Cleveland, upon the
death of his father, was thrown upon
|his own resources and engaged in the
study of law at Buffalo and was ad-
|mitted to the bar in 1859.
Cleveland entered politics in 1868,
filling in succession the offices Of
assistant district attorney, mayor and
sheriff. In 1882 as a reform candidate
he was elected governor Of New York
by a majority $4,000, vote which
gave him national prominence and
two years later was nominated as his
party's candidate for the presidency
and was elected over James G. Blaine.
In 1892 he was again elected, serving
one term. 1t was during Cleveland S
second administration that the country
experienced a monetary crisis that
led t., a special session of congress.
Mr.. Cleveland was the only living
ex-president of the United States and
is survived by a widow and family of
four children.

PRESIDENT KEITH's ADDRESS.


After few Introductory remarks in
which he stated that there comes time
in every individuals life when he be-
comes his own teacher, Mr., Keith an
nounced as his subject The Dead
Levels Of Attainment in Life He de
fined these levels rs spiritual plateaus
which stretch out on all sides, having
no ups and downs. An individual reach
es one of these levels whenever he ceases
to grow intellectually. Another way OF
expressing it is to say that he rests on
his oars. This tendency il very pre-
tions. There are physicians who are ne
better practitioners today than they
were fifteen years ago. When they
started out in life they had some ambi.
tion, they studied their cases, they made
careful diagnoses, but when they had
obtained q reasonably large practice
they became content and thus stayed
on the plain of mediocrity. There are
lawyers also who become easily satisfied
with minimum attainments. Even cler-
gymen have in their number individuals
who are satisfied to preach the same ser.
notes that they used years ago.
The speaker dwelt especially upon
teachers and farmers as two great class
es among which were many members
who were satisfied with medium attain
ments Many teachers are satisfied
that when they are equipped with n
Normal School or University diploma
they are exempt from further efforts.
Many of the teachers are on the dead
level and remain there all their lives.
Among the farmers are found those
whose only thought is work for the
money returns rather than to make the
vocation an intellectual one. The one
who puts most thought into his farm
ing does not only get the greatest re-.
turns in money, but he gets the greatest
Joy ont of the work IA we'll
The work of the house wife was also
spoken of as one in which the routine
might become drudgery. Any work he.
comes n drudgery whenever the indvid
ual ceases to think M she works. Too
many people put too little thought into
their work and as result the labor loses
the dignity that it should have When the
manual labor is accompanied by the &c.
tive mind it becomes n pleasure. Too
many do not find this JOY in the work
but rather in spending Of the money
which the work itself brings. The diff
ference between skilled and unaklll led
labor IL that the former demands an ac.
tive mind capable Of judgment, while
the latter requires little or no thought,
only certain amount of muscular
strength In this connection the speak
er asked the question. is the human
race doomed? Il there a portion Of the
people the are condemned to this lower
form Of work which demands but little
mental effort In partially answering
this question he mentioned the lecture
Acres of Diamonds by Russell Conwel
in which the lesson is taught that there
are opportunities all around us is our
eyes are but able to discern them
After showing that these dead leyel'
are very prevalent in life. Mr.. Keith
showed that not only are they world
wide but world long.

PETITION TO VACATE PORTION
OF SOUTH SEVENTH STREET.

At the meeting of the council last
Friday evening petition signed by over
200 residents was handed in that the
portion of South Seventh street between
Franklin and Quay be vacated. Over
two-thirds of the residents on South
Seventh street signed the petition.
1t is argued that the portion of the
street mentioned in the petition is but
little used for travel that access can be
had easily from Eigth and Sixth streets.
The council fixed July 6 as day for
considering the petition. This day
coming at the time of the annual school
meeting, it may be necessary to adjourn
until later day if a quorum is not
present.

History tells MS that in the past the

History tells us that in the past the
great mass of the people have been sat
isiied with being on the dead level while
but II few have had the ambition and
energy to keep on climbing. Looking
into the future we are led to believe
that the same will largely prevail in
time to come.
The speaker then enumerated some of
the causes for these dead levels among
which We're the following:
/. Mental growth is closely allied to
physical growth and in many cases
mental activities are hindered by ply.
elaborated on this subject he mentioned
animals that are known rs "runts" be.
cause Of their arrested development BY
u peculiar coincidence herd of intel.
Iectnal runts' happened to wander into
the school grounds making hideous
noises and casting objects against the
building. This was an application of
the natural law in the spiritual world.
Too bad with such fellows. They are
not idiotic enough to be under guard
ianship, and yet their arrangement gives
the city Il bad reputation)
,. The illusion of ease Those who
are brought up in the lap of luxury
never find out what life really is In
trying to evade things which require ex
ertion such an individual loses one OF
the best opportunities for growth and
development
3 The illusion of pleasure. Many
form the idea that the purpose of life il
enjoyment and 80 they remain on these
"flowery plains of ease making life II
play.
4. The illusion of wealth. Many
think that the accumulation Of riches is
the measure of success in life. There.
fore in the pursuit of this goal the high.
er ideals are banished. The illusion o.
immediate economic returns is one of
the most delu-ive phantOms that keeps
youth on the lower plain Of thought.
Boys start out TO work early, earn n
little money in order that may have n
good time with the fellows thus casting
away the hope of life time for the i'm
mediate possession of II few patry
shlllings
After speaking of some of these caus,
es for these dead levels, MIR Keith spoke
briefly Of the cures OF remedies A pro
gressive attitude on the part of the in.
dvidual is absolutely indispensable. We
must have the right attitude towards
humanity and towards the work TO be
accomplished. 1t is not what we know
but what we do with what we know
that determines our success.
The class day exercises were held
Tuesday afternoon and consisted of
several presentations and the usual parts
which appear on such programs. The
commencement exercises were held at
the Turner Hall Wednesday evening
The parts deserving special mention were
recital Of portion of "Eyangeline" to
musical accompaniment, and an i'm.
personation by Gladys Barbar.

Keller gave talk which had in it some
excellent suggestions. 1t is impossible
