Season For Graduates Has Be-
gun and Crop Is Very
Great.
Colleges and Academies Are
Now Busy with Closing
Exercises.
Catholic Schools Teach Youths
the Necessity of Self
Sacrifice.
A FEW OF THE VERY MANY

The commencement season is now
on and the graduates are many. II
Is the educational harvest. Seed
that was sown years ago is now be-
ing reaped, only to be replanted as IL
were. Graduates of some schools
will go out to reform the world. To
their sorrow they will discover that
the world is a refractory creature
and objects to bits and curbs. The
boys and girls who leave Catholic
schools have been taught that they
must curb their own passions and
desires; that only by example can
reforms be won; that self-sacrifice is
the best example.
