high school and at the beginning of

OF the G. Fl. S. The transfer from the
ranks to the first year high school was
made yesterday afternoon at the high
school auditorium, when before large
crowd the program was rendered and
Supt. Ramey presented the certificates
OF promotion
Rev Walker delivered the gradual
ing address to the class, and talked to
the youngsters in straightforward,
sincere manner, rendering them adj
vice and drawing word pictures for
them, mainly depicting the necessity
of them proceeding through the high
school and banishing any thought, If
such is entertained, of quitting school
at this time.
The program as rendered by the
school children was bright and spark.

bringing rousing applause from the
audience. Mollie Janet Gray was ex-
ceedingly pleasing in her reading.
Walker Gives Address.
Rev. G. S. Walker took as his sub
iect, Conscience as Factor in Char
acter and Success" Throughout the
address the assembled children gave
the closest attention and heard some
splendid advice which centered mainly
upon the idea of obeying at all times
the dictates of gour conscience.
The speaker said in part: Mans
construction is physical and spiritual.
In some men, the spirit is the muster
and in others. the physical being is the
master The spiritual being follows
the dictates Of conscience Love and
conscience are the motive powers
back Of all poetry, prose, comedy and
tragedy.
Conscience is the universal Meme
sis, bounding mems footsteps wherever
they may lead, or the guarding angel,
leading along the right paths to the
Celestial city.
"Some might say, What has this to
do with class day Simply this: You
now have the rudiments of an educa-
tion. You have little grammar, a lit
tie history. little arithmetic, etc,
and you might be inclined to say that
it is enough and that you could go on
through life on the education you now
have. But listen TO the dictates of
your conscience. Il is saying you have
not enough education and is urging
you to so ahead
Success means drudgery and per
severance, and without these that high
goal is never reached. It takes work
and a lot Of it to succeed. Your par
ents may be able to give you a higher
education The question is, Do you
desire it?" Would you, like Thurlo
Weed. walk two miles through the cold
with your feet wrapped in rags, in or
der to borrow book to read? Would
you be that much interested?
