DIPLOMAS GIVEN
THE GRADUATES

The BaraboO high school has sent
forth another class of bright, active
and energetic young people. After the
inspiration given them on Friday
night they may feel we'll repaid for
all the effort that has been necessary
to reach the day of the diploma.
After the invocation by Rev. Il. A
Goddard of the Congregational church,
Herbert Arthur Gollmar gave the
salutatory. He dwell upon the neces-
sity for the pure food law, the cam
paign that has been waged for its en-
forcemenL, the opposition manifested
by the manufacturers, what the
makers Of food products will! some
times do in preparing the necessaries
of life, and what some towns have
done in order to compel the dealers in
their midst to carry only spure FOODS
for sale. The work of DR.. Wiley was
commended.
Agnes Mae Rooney, the valedic-
Eorian, discussed university extension
work as means to higher educa
ton. By correspondence, by lectures,
by public discussion and by general
information the student may continue
his work along chosen lines. She told
of the instructors who go out from the
university to aid, giving to each com.
munity that which it most desires. In
ali this work Wisconsin leads. Both
the salutatory and valedictory were
ably prepared and well given.
Address by Jenkin Lloyd Jones.
Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones came from
Chicago with message. It has been
AZ years, he said, since he first came
to BarabOO to give an address and
found that the place of stumps and
Maud had gone forward filed with
true public spirit.
His white flowing beard and abund.
ant snowy hair tell of long span of
years. He will soon be SO yet walks
with that firm tread and speaks with
that dramatic force which has always
worker. He is large, not only in body
but in his outlook on life. He was
born in South WAKES, was a soldier in
the Civil War and has been at the
head of All Souls church in Chicago
for so years. His home was once at
Spring Green and he has kindly
feeling for this region which be has
often visited.
Rev. Jones said that he was an
alumnus of the log school house which
was built in the middle of the road.
He was there to receive his education
before the surveyor came.
He found the keynote for his adj
dress in Goethe's Wilhelm Meister.
His subject was, "The Three RS or
a Plea for Better Education" His
three RS were not reading, 'riting and
'rithmetic but reverence with down.
ward look, reverence with an upward
look and reverence with look around
to our fellow man. He pointed out
that education aids the rogue as well
as the honest man and that in prison
he found sixty college graduates, as
well as those not schooled in books.
Changes Come With Years.
He dwelt upon the fact that the pro-
cess of education did not change so
much after all. Looking back to the
days of Plato there was much in COM
mon with the methods of today. In
the 70's there was much agitation for
the study of English, in the SOS it was
nature study and today there is a
movement for the study of the science
of society-make the individual ia part
of the community in which he lives.
The speaker spoke of the great up
lift the world received as the result of
the work of Darwin, of the aid to the
race bestowed by Lincoln who was
born at the same time and of others
