CIVIC PRIDE AND HONOR


The ladies of the federation have
some to considerable expense and
trouble in beauttfying parts Of our
city, and the city has also expend-
ed considerable in improving the
grounds in connection with their pub
lie buildings. The little park con-
nected with the T. B. Scott Free Pub
lie Library is artistic and growing
more handsome every year. This ha3
been made possible by the citizens
Of Grand Rapids and the janitor of
chat building, Mr.. Hambrecht takes
great pride in preserving the lawn
and keeping it neat and attractive,
so as to be pleasing to the eye. We
notice that many people thoughtIess-
Iy cross these grounds at short an
gIes to save themselves few steps.
If this was done only occasionally by
one person, no harm would come from
it, but it is being made a habit by q
great many people, and consequently
wears out the roots OF the grass, max
ing unsightly spots wherever this oc-
currs. Particularly is this true in
front of the library building. Citi-
zens and pedestrians should follow
the walks and preserve the lawns
everywhere in our city, whether pub
lie or private property. Civic pride
and honor should prompt this.

High School Commencement.

One of the important events in
the life of anyone is graduation.
The large class of thirty.nine and
their many friends made our high
school closing Thursday night,
May 18th, one Of special public in
terest.
The class roll was given in last
weeks paper AT the appointed
hour the class took seats on the
platform, making a pretty effect
in combining with the decorations
the smiling, happy faces.
The class oration was delivered
1J Dean G. NJ. Sharp of the Mis-.
souii Bible College. His subject
was The First Principles of a
successful Life" to which splen.
did subject he did credit.
Members Of the class also made
the evening an interesting one b.
giving readings and essays. After
a short talk by Superintendent
Thompson, he presented the diplo.
mas, being assisted by two little
children, Dorcas Johnston and
Dorothy Mccullough, in handing
them to the respective persons.
Vawters orchestra furnished
music for the occasion.
Following the program the
Junior class entertained the grad.
yates at a banquet in the gymnas.
ium, which we are told was en-.
joyed almost as much as the pro-
granny those who were at the
tables.
The school term just closed has
been one OF the most successful
and peaceful ones known in our
schools and much credit is due
Supt. Thompson. Principal Meador
and their splendid corpse OF

He arrived at $40 a. m. on the
Mo. Pac. and va, met by the re.
ception committee and the Parker
Band and escorted to Hotel Ruff
where he partook Of breakfast
and also met many Of our citizens
who had assembled there.
At 10 a. m. the Govepnor, es.

autos and vehicles, went to Stew.

large attendance, and especially
were we pleased to note visitors
from distant parts of the county.
The Governor didn't bring any
text along but his sucject was
there in plain and logical talk.
He Is one of Missouri's most fluent
orators. ..r
He stated that Missouri Is. one
OF the most liberal states in the
union towards the cause of educa.

equalled her. and while he com.
plimented our great State Univer.
sity he said such institutions as M.
w. G. are necessary to supplement
the other, and he gladly lent his
official presence as an endorse
ment Of her work.
He said the common duty OF
good government rested upon all
but especially upon those best
qualified by reason Of education
and position.
The men in powdered hair and
short breeches faithfully discharg'
ed their duties to their country in
years gone by and those qualified
to do so have the duty before
them now. In reviewing the his

the best qualified have beer
