TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL
commencement OF HIGH SCHOOL
A MATTER OF HISTORY
Diplomas Granted by the Board of Educaton Twenty
two Graduates; Twelve Youne Women and Ten
Youn9 Men-C1ass Address Delivefed by
Dr. o. B. Waite on "The Modem
Significance of Culture"

The twenty-fifth annual commence
ment of the graduating class Of the
Canon City high school was held in
the presence of a splendid audience
at the First Methodist church last
night, and, like its predecessors. is
now a matter OF history. The grad
uation exercises of our high schools.
academies. colleges and universities
invariably attract a wide measure of
public attention. and, that it is SO. is
a tribute to the interest which the
American people take in popular and
scientific education.
The chancel Of the church was
tastefully, but not too elaborately.
decorated with green and white. the
class colors. and presented very
pretty appearance. A too lavish use
of flowers on such occasions tends to
distract attention from the graduates,
who are, and of right, ought to be,
times. There was foliage and bloom
in plenty at the church last night. but
its arrangement was SO graceful and
so well proportioned as to heighten,
rather than obscure. the members of
the class, who were seated in the
choir loft at the rear of the rostrum.
and. they were. as we have indicated.
the cynosure of all eyes during the
evening. With their bright, intelligent
faces. illuminated by a consciousness
Of duty well performed. the members
of the class made pleasing and in
teresting picture.
A feature of the occasion that COM
mended itself TO the assemblage was
the fact that the program seemed to
be arranged with a view of brevity,
in contrast with the usual long-drawn-
out, and, not infrequentiy. tiresome
entertainment. The program began
shortly after o'clock with an invo-
cation by Rev. Worley of Orchard
Park. in which he made an appeal to
the Divine Ruler OF the Universe to
guide and direct the class of young
people just graduated from the high
school; the members of which were
starting out on life's highway. He
expressed thankfulness that they had.
begun so well and invoked the divine
aid in their efforts to attain still
greather triumphs.
There was neither salutatory nor
valedictory by representatives OF the
graduating class: the matter of ora
tory on their part being more hon
ored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance." The initiative taken by the
class In that respect Is a good one
and should be followed at similar ex-
ercises in the future. The annual ad-
dress was made by DR.. o. B. Waite,
formerly of the faculty of Cornell col
lege in Iowa, but temporarily, at least,
resident of East Canon. The selec-
tion of DR.. Waite was an excellent one
and provedNthe fact that it is unnec-
essary to go away from home to Sc
cure speaker for such an event. His
subject was THE Modern Significance
OF Culture" and 1t was handled in a
mastery manner. While Dr. Waite
made no pretention to rising to the
heights of eloquence. his address was

to impress upon every true citizen OF
our great and growing state the i'm
portance of loyalty to home industry.

a position to persistently urge home

mand from the purchaser will accom-.
plish the desired results. In fact, the
hone of tho producer Is in interesting
the members of each household in the
campaipn for LOYALTY to goods made
in Colorado.
Have you ever thought for a mo-
ment what II would mean IL this condi
ton of affairs could be brought about?
II we would all pull together with
this motive in view Colorado would
double in population In the next ten
years. For illustration your attention
is called to the following facts. Den.
yer's present population Is conserva-
lively estimated at 225,OOO. TIE state
of Colorado at 100000. ESTIMATING on
the basis that each person requires
two pairs of shoes each year land this
is a conservative estimate), It would
aggregate 45O, 900 pairs for Denver and
600 900 pairs for the total to supply
our state.
II we could instill in our Colorado
people the loyalty to call for Colorado
made shoes, even to one-half the above
estimate. Il would require more than
one Colorado factory to supply the de-
mand.
Let us consider other possibilities
There we're 1851 head OF cattle mar
keted in Denver in 1908. We have only
one tannery, producing $50 tanned
hides per week, or $500 per year One
hide of finished leather produces on
the average, four pairs of shoes;
therefore the tannery industry only
supplies enough leather for $1,000
pairs of shoes. There are manufac
tured in Denver 10000 pairs of shoes
per year. and of this number. fifty
per cent. is distributed outside OF Colo
RADIO. In other words, Colorado peo-
pie only purchase $4,000 pairs Of the
home product Of the total of 100000
required to supply the demand.
II Colorado people would demand at
least one-half their shoe purchases be
Colorado-made, It would necessitate an
increase OF eight times the present to-
tai home production to supply Colo

ness.

shoes at an average daily wage OF
$2.75. or an annual disbursement Of

could realize our hope Of supplying

would necessitate at least five times
the number Of employees to accomplish
