peka high school will be, graduated.
sas City, will deliver the commence
7nent address. There should be ITO in
the class but at the present time a
number of names do not appear as
there are a few students who are be-
hind in some of their studies, but who
have a chance to make up their de-
linquency between now and the closing
day of school. The total enrolment
for the year is 220 students, the grad
uating class representing, IA per cent
of this number.
The aim of the Topeka high school is
to make it possible for every graduate
to enter first-class colleges and uni
versities If it is desired to do so, and
at the same time provide such a gen.
eral training as to give those who do
not enter college an all-round course of
drill. 1t might be of interest to note
that over 80 per cent of the graduates
from the high school enter some higher
educational institution. Out of the class
which was graduated last June com
posed of SO members. go are now in
college. Practically every one who
graduates has enough credit to enter
college on the basis of the standard IL
units made up of languages, science
history, mathematics. and English. All
of the graduates have the opportunity
of electing some additional work in
manual training, drawing, domestic art
and science, and the girls have had
one year or more of physical training.
DR.. Charles NJ. Sheldon will deliver
the class sermon on Sunday, Nav 30

sentiment in the stock market occa-
sionally apprehensive, has been re-
assured by the resistance of prices to
such unfavorable influences as the
sudden death of H. H. Rogers. Re-
ports of improving conditions in the
steel trade are a potent influence in
the speculation and are taken as a
key to the general trade situation.
The rise in the price of United
previous records, is regarded as a
stock market event of importance.
Foreigners have sold stocks in this
market apparently suspicious of the
high level of prices. Export of gold
is in progress but New York bankers
have borrowed money in foreign mar
kets at the lower interest rates pre-
vailing there.
