DAY OF THE GRADUATE.

Young men and women graduates
will find much truth and timely advice
in the following from the Indianapolis
Star:
"June is the month Of weddings, but
it is also the month of school COM
mencements, and, next to weddings,
graduation from school is the greatest
event in the lives of young people for
tunate enough to reach graduation
day. II marks at once an end and a
beginning; it is a definite landmark in
life, a bigger and more important one
to the recipients of coveted parch-
ments just now than it will seem later,
but still always important and worth
while.
THE parchments testify to the fact
that the owners have accomplished
something; that they have laid a
foundation for the real work of their
lives; for whatever that work may be
they will find that their school train
ing will help them to do it better than
they could do otherwise 1t may not
be. perhaps, that their acquaintance
with algebra or geometry or history
or rhetoric or physics will have any
direct application on their undertake
ings, but the mental power they gain
cd in mastering the mysteries and DIFF
ficulties of branches of learning
will come TO their aid in overcoming
the mysteries and difficulties of prac.
teal daily life.
The diploma will not be proof that
these young people really know SO
very much, but will prove that they
have been given an equipment that
VIA enable them to learn other and
more important things with compare
tive ease. The happy high school and
college graduates have right TO their
satisfaction and joy in the great schoo
event. Their education up to this
point will not smooth away all then
future troubles, but it will make their
pathway through life easier and more
agreeable if they make the best OF
their opportunities. 1t is the best
start in life that can be given them
and the use they make of it will prove
/ their quality
