need educated men in our public Of
fices-intellect, combined with good
character-men who know. Our diplo-
mats, ministers and officials of state
must have good education If our ma
ton is to defend itself and hold its
rank among the greatest nations of
the earth.
Every person has two Quotations
one which he gives himself, and the
one which he receives from others.
The latter we lay at the door Of our
Scholastic other lies simply with
ourselves. 1t Is not difficult to see
that education Is the very root Of
heredity. The things we learn in our
early childhood are largely the result
OF heredity plus environment. Never
has anyone forgotten his pure right
educating mother. On the blue noun
tains of our dim childhood, toward
which we ever turn and look, stands
the mothers who marked out for us
from thence, our lives. Perhaps we
do not realize this but it is true, for
lit is in our youth, that our education
is started, when our minds are plas-
| tic, and grasp the facts about us much
more quickly than we can now. I'm
consciously We turn constantly back
to our first impression of some things,
and SO on through life, our sharpened
i intelligence and strengthened facui-
/ ties, which are the results of our edlI-
| cation are transmitted by blood frc-,
! parent to child in obedience to an In
| variable law of nature. It's beneficial
results are a property, which by the
natural law of transmission becomes
/ factor in mans prosperity which
| by no law of legislature; nor man s
fraud nor dishonesty can deprive him
! of. 1t is by another mans envy and
hatred that we measure our power. 1t
is responsibility that educates.
The great end of education is not
merely information, but personal Wig
or and character. 1t is not the dry
facts of books. nor the essays of crit
icism we study in school, that we are
so benefited by, but the development
of the mind, the concentration Of the
intellect, and through it all the de
velopment of a good character. 1t IL
not the well informed man that counts
but the practical, alert, disciplined
Z self controlled man. all Of which quail
tiles are the result Of good educa
ton.
The educated business man is prac
Itical. broad minded, sympathetic. aler
. and quick witted. or course onei

personal endowments OF strength,
health and social and political esteem
are factors in this, but 1t is princi-
pally education that develops these
qualities, SO necessary to success in
a business life.
In society, education has great
mission to perform. 1t must carry on
war against the despicable. self
assertion of vulgar wealth. 1t must
make OF society no place for the
pleasure hunting idler. 1t must
thwart and cast down the brutal and
merciless contempt ami ridicule OF
the snob. The end Of this Combat
must be that man shall not gain his
social position by the mere fact of
his possessing wealth, but by the way
he employees his wealth for worthy
ends. When education wins this bat
tie, its overpowering influence of SUI
perior intellect, shall subject wealth
itself for the furtherance and promo.
ton of culture and all it's cultivating
and inspiring influences.
Education is the knowledge of how
to use the whole OF ones self-mentally-
morally-and physically. 1t is very
easy to see how education gives lis
knowledge of how to use the whole
of ourselves mentally for, the resnlts
iof higher thought, the great revoln-
tionizing inventions. the great master
r,in nf rf q n
complished not by the knowledge of
one thing but the education of the
/! whole of ones self. It's moral in
| fluence have shown in its effects on
society. A man is corrupt morally
simply through ignorance That may
not seem wholly true hut If we stop
! to think, 1t is either the ignorance Of
/ the result of crime or the lack ef a
/ will power, which in itself is the lack
of a good physique, good health, and
/ the advantages of personal hygiene.
/ Education points out the need of a
sympathetic course of exercise, and
! this is where our school athletics
serve us in good stead Our schools
have taken up athletics and great are
the advantages derived therefrom.
1 We do not want q rlop-sidedo develop
ment, all mental. with a weak body
and flabby muscles.
All these points In favor OF good
education can be traced directly and
indirectly to our high school train
] ins, the benefits Of which are four.fold.
i A high school training gives gem
& eral view Of the broad fields Of

knowledge. 1t gives mental discipline
It excites by rivalry to exertion, and it
inspires man to continued study
high school education tends to give
fruitfulness Of thought, copiousness
of Illustration, quickness, vigor, fancy,
images, illustration, cultivating and
irresistible knowledge OF people.
i believe we have gained some Of
these advantages in our short time
here. I believe we are ready to enter
life arena and match our wits against
those Of others. Some of us viii
most surely forge to the front rank.
May none go backward and in years
to come may we look back to those
days as the shining light on the first
easy slope Of youth, an everguilding,
influencing, light that may guide and
direct our path to everblossoming
fields of success. hope we may not
forget this place In future time, but
may we remember the pleasant times
here and the benefits we have receiv.
ed here, SO may we all join in wish
ing this institution the best Of success
and prosperity.

Class History.

On the ninth day of September, 1905,

assembly room. Some of this number
had been here since January. SO these
acted as csaperones We started out
rather poorly for quite number had
brought whispering regulations from

and Miss Becker seemed ignorant of
this fact and We were given quite de-
sirable places. Alas! that was for a
short time only Mr.. BENJAMIN came
into the room, looked the situation
over, and then such change. The
people who had excellent regulations in
whispering were moved to the front
of the room. Isn't is queer how teach
ers can judge the present by the past?
This seating arrangement worked like
charm at first, but our boldness. |

the time we remained in school.
Then came the choosing of our
studies and the filling out OF enroll
ment blanks. Three-fourths of the
class decided at once to take Latin.
The word Miss Bachus, or the desire
to resurrect dead language, one of
these appealed TO many. How splen-
did it was to see that word written
and to tell people We were studying it.
For some, fear, tisat roved to be as
much as we ever Z 2 out of it.
