The high school auditorium was
crowded Monday evening with the
parents and friends of the graduates
to hear the class day program.

tion from the high school orchestra
which showed thorough preparation.
Miss Bertha Coats, in the saluta-
tory, gave a sketch OF the life and
work of Jane Adams The histori-
cal review of the class was given by
Ruth Bradford. Edward Thomas
showed a knowledge of the subject he
had chosen, Conservation, in the
mastery way in which he handled it.
The class prophecy found in the
book of memory" was given in a
dignified manner by the prophecies Of
the class, Jeanette Cramer Victor
Newell contributed his share in the
program by a piano solo which was
greatly enjoyed by the audience. The
last will and testament of the class Of
'19 was read by Edna Cornell in far
too vivacious a manner to lead any

dead about the class. The poetess,
Esther LaBrie, recited poem which
dealt in a pointed way to the differ
ent members of the class Matthew
Riddle had the honor of valedictorian

GRANTS PASS SHOULD
CELEBRATE THE 4TH

The feeling around town is pretty
general that Grants Pass should cele-
brate the Fourth of July in fitting
style this year. 1t has been four
years since the eagle has screamed in
the chief city on the banks of the
Rogue, and each year has seen a
stream of people, and the steam OF
people represented stream of gold
en- coin, leaving for the neighboring
cities where patriotism has been un-
loosed.
Committeeman from the CONNER
cial club have discussed the question
up one side and down the other, and
they are assured that the necessary
funds for rousing celebration will
be forthcoming from the business In
terests of the city, This committee
has been on a still hunt for several
days past for attractions. and it has
number of thrillers on the string
that will give the people something
to talk about. AS a chief attraction
one of the Curtiss aviators is now
held for this place under tentative
agreement, and 1t is expected that he
will be engaged for an aviation meet
to cover two days, Friday, July 4th,
and Saturday, the 5th. Definite con-
tract must be made with the Curtiss
people within the next two or three
days, and TO bring things TO focus,
and decide whether or not the city
will celebrate, the committees are to
commence a canvass of the city to-
morrow to see what amount of funds
can be made available for the cele-
bration. Several OF the business men
have voluntarily expressed them
selves as willing to subscribe liberal
ly and the committee starts out with
confidence.
No program has been outlined as
yet, and will not be till funds for the
celebration have been provided, but
as soon as the money is in sight to do
the two days justice, attractions now
in view will be closed with. At a
committee meeting this morning the
committeeman were unanimously In
favor of closing with the birdman for
the aviation feature, and to make this
one of the big events of the celebra'
ton. 1t was also proposed to make
everything free, and to entertain oui
friends from the neighboring country
and cities in becoming manner.
If the committee is accorded the re-
ception which 1t anticipates on its
round of interviews Wednesday, the
machinery will be set in motion al
once, and attractions will be listed
before they are picked up by other To-
calitles.

able in the high schools throughout
the nation, so that today many prae-
tieal courses are open TO the boys and
girls in our high schools. Thus in all
this progress in the spirit of eduea-
tion woman has come TO take a more
and more prominent place, and now in
most high schools courses are open to
girls in which they learn the elements
of domestic science and home man
agement The demand for practical
education for boys in the high
school has been even more insistent
than for girls, and the result has
been the addition of many such
courses as agriculture, engineering
and the great variety of commercial
courses. And indeed it is necessary
that this training be given in the
high school, said President Kerr, for
many of the young people in attend
ance at these schools will not go on
to a higher institution, and 1t is be
coming more and more recognized
that the men and women who will
have the best chance in the future
are those who receive the best fun
damental training directly in the in
terest of their future work.
President Kerr urged all the
young people of today to put forth
their greatest efforts to gain a col
lege education and said they should
set about to create the opportunity
rather than merely wait for the
chance to come to them, citing the
many instances where young people
are today working their way
through college. He especially en-
phasized the inestimable value OF
this higher education, and gave his
opinion that the time has come
when all young men and women pos
sessing good health and indepen.
dence may go on to college if they
so will it.
Diplomas Are Presented.
Following the address OF Presi
dent Kerr and a piano solo by Miss
Bernice Quinlan, the diplomas were
presented the individual graduates
by Mrs. Jos. Moss, the chairman Of
the board of education, the presen
tation being preluded with appro
pirate remarks
The graduates were the recipient
of many gifts of floral or of mor'
substantial nature, the orchestra pi
being banked with the remem
brances of friends of the young peo
pie.

Any who may have feared that the
Grants Pass women were Cnprepared
for the duties of citizenship would
have had their minds freed from
doubt had they been present at the
meeting of the city council, Thurs
day evening, when delegation from
the Ladies' Auxiliary piloted the new
public library ordinance successfully
into port. The ordinance was up for
final passage, and as it embodied the
features that made the public library
possible, laying the foundation upon
which the loyal women who had
been boosting for it for months ex-
pect to build a great and a necessary
institution, they were present to aid
in its final passage.
Citizen Hunton Attacks.
When the ordinance was up for
final consideration, Citizen C. w.
Hunton attacked it because he said
it conferred too much power upon
the library commission, and he feared
the commission might exercise its
authority to the detriment of the Ii
brary. Mr. Hunton was especially
fearful that the commission might
censor too closely the literature al
lowed in the institution.
Answering Mr.. Huntons argument,
Mrs Hair, chairman of the commit
tee from the Auxiliary, said that he
friends of the library movement had
the greatest confidence that com
mission appointed by the mayor with
the approval of the council would be
faithful to its trust, but that If there
was quibbling over immaterial de-
tails, I'VE will be from now to dooms-
day getting a public library"
Councilmen Seek knowledge.
Councilman Everton wanted to
hear from the visiting ladies on the
merits of the ordinance, and Council
man Clark was curious to know how
building was to be provided, and
where the maintenance was to come
from.
It was explained by the mayor that
the proposed ordinance carried nc
appropriation and made no provision
for the expenditure of public funds
and that when 1t came to the making
Of appropriations for the library il
would be time enough to arrange tbs
details for its expenditure. Eyertor
read several proposed amendments b.
which he would wind yards Of reC

library, and wanted the ordinance

Surrounded by admiring friends the
twenty-seven young men and women
whose names appear above were pre-
sented with the parchment that mark
ed the completion of the course of
study of the Grants Pass high school,
the ceremonies of the occasion taking
place at the opera house Tuesday ev-
ening, the building being crowded to
its doors with our citizens.
The members of the graduating
class were seated upon the stage, the
Sweet girl graduates in their pret-
ty commencement gowns vieing with
the flowers of nature in their gracious
beauty, while the young men were
manly and strong among the number
being future pilots Of the great ship
OF state.
The stage, decorated with fragrant
bloom and with school and college
pennants, was a pretty setting for the
significant ceremony, and words of
wisdom that fell from the speaker S
lips were received and assimilated by
the 27 to whom they were addressed.
A vocal solo, Spring" by Mrs. Ire
land, was the opening number on the
program, and following it Superin-
tendent Turner, in the happy manner
of his public speaking, introduced
President w. J. Kerr, of the Oregon
State Agricultural College, who was
TO deliver the address to the gradu-
ating class.
Pres. KeT's Address.
Pres. Kerr dealt with the topic
"Developmebt of the Educational
Idea" wherein he showed the won
derful growth in the fundamental
spirit of college and university edu
cation that has taken place in this
country in such a comparatively shor
time. He outlined briefly the Ole
straight-laced courses which wer'
universal a few years ago, from
which no one gained any direct train
ing for future work and from whicl
woman was practically excluded

in higher education as seen in the ad
vanced courses open to the youn'
people of today. Present-day educa
tional ideas are favoring the estao
lishment of greater number OF prac
tical courses fitting one for definit
future work. and in this connection
greater variety Of courses has bee
thrown open to women, especiall
those dealing with the work in IN

in almost any line Of work, protes
sional or otherwise. and from thes
advances in the colleges. has come IN
