The 46TH YEAR,
State Normal School Commence
ment at Emporia.
Impressive Exercises Are Held
for the Graduating Glass.
REGENTS TAKE PART.
Also the Faculty and Graduates
March Around Campus.
Henry SuzzaIIO, of Columbia
University, Delivers Address.

Emporia, Kan, June 9.-The forty
sixth commencement of the State Nor
NAL school was held yesterday. The
school has closed the most successful
year in its history and the commence
n:ent was fitting with the dignity of its
exercises. The faculty. the regents, the
graduates, all in academic costume, fo:-
lowed by the classes of the school, form
ed a line at the new physical training
budding, and marched around the cam
pus. 1t was most imposing sight ard
the long procession made a marked inn
preston on the townspeople who gath
cred in front of the main building,
waiting for the opening of Albert Tay-
Tor hall. The Normal band took sta
ton near the east entrance and played
a march as the long file went up the
steps to take its place in the auditor
i'm.
The address. delivered by Henry Suz-
gallo, of the teachers college, Column
bia university, was one of the best of
its kind ever heard in Emporia From
long experience, Mr.. SazZallo is an ex-
pert teacher and his message was one
of deep import to those who are about
to go out in the profession of teaching.
The speaker laid emphasis uron the
moral phase of teaching. bringing out
the idea of service to man as being the
Mr.. Suzza1lo's language there are two
ways of leading men, by coercion and
by education. Civilization for ages past
las been nurturing the coercion method
by war and tyranny, and It is the func-
ton of this age to do what can be
done By education: accomplish much
but from inside conviction and not by
outside pressure. The entire talk was
freighted with dynamic thought and Mr..
Suzzallo had a way of presenting his
views in a clear concise manner. 1t was
truly an appropriate talk to teachers,
and one that cannot help but leave its
impress on the minds of those who go
out in the work of education.
Miss Florence Cross gave one of her
excellent piano solos and Sheffield In
gals, for the board of regents, received
The graduating class. The presentation,
of diplomas and comforting of degrees
was followed by a number by the Capel-
Ia chorus.
In the classes receiving recognition at
this time are 16 who take their A. B.
degree; los who receive life certificates;
IA graduating from the kindergarten
course and seven from the music de-
partment. Thirty more win have com
pieted graduation work by August and
will receive their honors then. Nine of
these will receive degrees and 20 life
certificates.

quaintance with Peter Vanrenen and his
daughter was sufficiently intimate to warn
her that Cynthia's least desire was granted
by her indulgent parent; in fact, Cynthia
would have been hopelessly spoilt if it had
not been for combination of those happy
chances which seem to conspire at times in
the creation of the American girl at her best.
She was devoted to her father, her nature
was bright and cheerful, and she had heart
that dubbed over with kindness. Mrs.
Devar chose the right line of attack. She re-
solved to appeal to the girls sympathies.

ing pace At that point a sort of passage
was kept clear by the police for the con-
venience of those occupants of the stands
who wished to visit the paddock. The
owner of Vendetta, having been congratu-
lated by royalty, was taking some friends to
admire the horse during the rubbing down
process, when his glance suddenly fell on
Medenham. Though amazed, he was not
rendered speeches..
WELL I'm" he began.
But the Mercury possessed a singularly
loud and clear motor horn, and the voice of
the Hon. Charles was drowned. Still, his
gestures were eloquent. Quite obviously he
was saying to man whose arm he caught,
did you ever in your life see anybody
more like George than that chauffeur? Why,
damme, it is Medenham!"
So Mrs. Devar lost a golden opportunity.
She knew Fenton by sight, and her shrewd
wits must have set her on the right track had
she witnessed his bewilderment. Being a
pretentious person, however, and not able
to afford the upkeep of a motor, she was en-
joying the surprise of two well dressed
women who recognized her. Then the car
leaped forward again, and she scored a dear
ly won triumph.
At this crisis Medenham's scrutiny of the
road map provided by Simmonds for the
tour was well repaid. He turned sharply to
the right past the back of the stands, and
was fortunate in finding enough clear road to
render pursuit by his elderly cousin vain
thing, even if it was thought of. The Mer-
curry had to cross the caravan zone carefully;
hut once Tattenham Corner was reached the
way lay open to Reigate.

left them.
Vendetta won by three lengths.
Medenham had secured twenty-five to
one, and the bookmaker who paid him added

dust coat. "If you are ready, Mrs. Devar,"
she said, II think we ought to hit the pike

Mrs. Devar laughed. Fitzroy evidently
understood, as he had taken his seat and the
engine was humming. "Americanisms are
most fascinating" she vowed. Il wish you

Cynthia was slightly rufled though if
pressed for reason she could hardly have
given one. Slang is useful occasionally;
but am trying to cure myself of the habit,
she said tartly.
"a picturesque phrase is always pardon
able. Oh, is this quite safe?'
THE Mercury, finding an opening, had
shot down the hill with a smooth celeri-
ty that alarmed the older woman. Cynthia
leaned back conposedly.
"Fitzroy means to reach the road before
the police stop the traffic for the next race"
she said. Then, after pause, she added,
Il wish we could keep this car for the rest
of our tour; yet suppose l ought not to in

Mrs. Devar frowned Her momentary
tremor had fled, and she had every cause to
