1 reaching voice, welcomed the guests.
the faculty. board of control and his
fellow classmates. and then proceeded
TO outline the value of the education
which they had received for which
1 thanks were due TO the taxpayers, the
school board and faculty He had a
I very able delivery and his words were
| followed with keen interest by his
hearers.
II The valedictoTian. Lucius c. Cur
rier, delivered one of the best ad-
II dresses ever heard in this city from
| the lips of a man Of minor years. 1t
was filled to overflowing with terse,
clever sayings and sound jud gment,
! good logic and common sense II
was indeed surprise to the many
/ present and the talk would have done
credit to matured orator.
After the address of the two honor
l students occurred one of the most de-
/ lightful features of the program, the
| singing of The Lost Chord" by Miss
Josephine Kendall. accompanied by
Mrs. Sterling Lacy. 1t was beau
tiful song and Miss Kendall sang It
from the first to the last note in a
manner which passed beyond the
! praise of the appreciative audience.
The many rounds of applause which
were showered upon her efforts were
more than deserved by the beautiful
young singer
Prof. Allen introduced DR. Frank
/ II. II. Roberts. in his usual tactful
and pleasing manner, and the address
which followed was one which will
not soon be forgotten. Hardly a
Z statement did he make which was not
worthy of reproduction but some of
them were more impressive than 9TH
ers. He said in part:
What can be more vitally essen
| tial for the true education of the girl
than the knowledge of wifehood,
motherhood and the home, and 1t is
beneath none of them to know the art
of cooking
"A definition of culture is. the
ability to do our work in life, readily
and effectively. without jarring on
the nerves of our neighbors.'
He also quoted Herbert Spencer's
definition of education, Education is
the proper preparation to lead com
plete life"
Among other sayings were:
The people who have excluded
the bible from the public school are
of three classes. the ignorant, those
who would rather see a young person
go TO hell than to see them join an
other denomination, and the regular
devils themselves"
Domestic science as taught gem
orally in our schools and colleges
does not extend beyond the chatting
dish"
We have no industrial training in
America and what we designate by
that name is mere farce"
There can be no true education
without religious training"
II would teach the truth in our
schools, letting II cut where it will
II have refused no less than ten
invitations to address class OF
graduates from Las Vegas, n. NJ, to
Douglas, Wyo. to come to Grand
Junction to make this talk this ev-
enng"
The address of Dr. Roberts was
interesting from the beginning to the
end. There was not sentence which
was not instructive and no portion
which was not replete with heavy
grains of good common sense, logic
and deep thiuling. Probably nc
speaker on like occasion in the past
ever made more able address in this
city or held 50 closely the attention
of his audience as did DR. Roberts
last night
DR.. Warner then presented the
diplomas with clever and sound
word of advice to the departing
class.
After the presentation of the di-
nlnmaG ha qln
Miss Helen Holmburg, was sung and
the class yell was given with vim.
