No custom is more worthy of
our highest attention, than the
generous spirit of praise rendered
our common schools and the
scholars who each year step across
the threshold of the high school
INTO the larger field of sturdy
and rugged life; a life with its
many gradations, its goodness,
It's intensity, perplexities and its
pleasures. The Globe takes pleas
ure then with others in congrat-
ulatlng our young men and wo-
men who have this week complet-
ed their high school work. The
class consists of nine active, earn

These graduates are the product
of our efficient high school and

APPLY he elucidated the meaning
of the text. In a scholarly man
ner he pointed out how man by
the means of tools of which the
public school was one, had ac-
complished much in the field of
art, science, agriculture and the
industrial life of the nation. The
school equipped the boy and girl
with the essential knowledge for
various callings, which properly
directed, had wrought success in
most cases. This knowledge aid
ed men and women to solve the
problems daily presented to them
IN every station of life. He ar
gued truly that there was no
royal road to success, that the
path frequently lies through dis
"ouragements and disappointment
and thereby called for men and
women to put forth the best en-
ergy and determination they pos
sessed. Hence the need of
strong educational foundation for
the competition of this age. The
common school gave this founda-
ton. From this training, the
student might continue thereaft-
er his studies and ideals in the
normal school, the college, uni
versity, or enter the great school !
Of practical life, there to build |
up and round out the structure
Of success so well planned in the |
common school.
The speaker in closing his ser

lass the immediate need Of study /

greatest Of all teachers in the
world, Jesus Christ. The class
vas asked to delve deep into the
'eligious thought of mankind and
o follow Him who taught us
he best way to live, the noblest
way to endure suffering and the
'est way to prepare for death.
All these great tools properly util
zed would help the student to
nJoy the greatest good in life,
which is intended he should reap
N this earth. The address was
indeed timely and appreciated by
he student body, the class and
'eople generally.

lille has been indeed prosperous
