United States Commissioner Of Educa-
ton p r. ClaNton spoke to the students
Yesterday morning. All $50 classes were
dismissed and nearly all the students
listened to the address, which was re-
-arded as one of the best the students
nave heard for several years,
Mr. Claxton said that the college stu
dents are the men who are preparing

that such small proportion OF the
young people OF the country arc avail
ing themselves Of the splendid oppor-
tunity which our many colleges and uni
yersitles offer.
The burden OF furnishing such educa-
tiunal advantages, continued the COM

else We are indebted 10 them for this
opportunity and it is our duty To devote
our entire lives TO the bettcrment Of

which we repay it the better Will future

has been so rapid that now democracy

school system of the United States is
good II is filled with the spirit OF
democracy. The children OF the rich

religious or political faith may be.

compete in Il pleasant struggle for su-
premacy in the linc OF educational

guardian haS no right to deprive the
child of the free use OF the public
schools, and cannot do So under our
law We truly have a right 10 be
true and loyal and patriotic TO q

opportunity for correct start IN life
and further guarantees our life, lib-

nothing was given TO take the place
OF the bad methods that were as

Education is not getting facts from
books. il is getting strength and
power from self effort. The duty be-
fore us is to- use our Intelligence IN
