Closed With Alumni on..High School Honor List

Commencement in the high school, with
its various formal and informal gather

public interest in Brattleboro this week.
The class of 1910 completed their work
in the Brattleboro high school and be-
came alumni of the school Tuesday night,
when diplomas were given them by Rev

dental committee of the school district
No class ever went out from the school
with a more inspiring message than was
given by Prof. Herman II. Horne of the
school of pedagogy, New York univer-
sity. or with more friendly and per-
sonal interest from the faculty of the
high school and friends than was shown
in the Auditorium that night. A few
members of the class are going to college,
but the others will enter upon their

by the removal of strong men and
women, but every year many strong
young men and women are coming in to
keep up the general efficiency. There Is
room for every earnest worker and there
never was a time when well equipped
men and women were demanded as they
are today

The Auditorium was well filled Tues

Naiser says Don't Drink

dispatch Of November 81, carried by the Associate
Press gives pronouncement against alcohol by Empero
William of Germany.
The Kaiser has taken decided stand against the drin
habit the part Of German university students and soldier
and naval cadets habit that until recently general
condoned by the public and professors and army officers
This attitude of Germany ruler is sad blow to the brewer
Of both the atherand and America but the dawning
the day that will give efficient army to Germany
will usher in healthier prosperous for the country
The dispatch reads:
Fensburg, Prussia Nov 21.-In opening the
naval academy at Muerwick today Emperor William
read an order in council laying stress upon the quail
ications necessary to naval officers, and later,
speaking extemporaneously, made plea for tenn
perance the part of the cadets. The times, the
emperor said required ironhearted men. Character
the first essential, and character founded
upon strong moral and religious convictions, he adj
ded.
In his temperance talk the emperor cautioned the
cadets against excessive drinking, which, he said
undermined the nerves, whereas the strenuous
naval service of today required strong nerves. He
counseled total abstinence, suggested that the young
join the Good Templars and added that the
ton which in the future used the smallest amount
of alcohol would march at the head of the column in
the fields of art and war.
