LONDON. oct. 15.-All Britain is
waiting tensely today for an eXplara-
ton OF the governments attitude on
the Dardanelles operations. The de-
mand made in the house of lords last
night by Lord Miner that British
troops be withdrawn from the Oar.
danelles and Lord Lansdowne's re-
fusal to state whether the Dardanelles
operations would be continued or
ended, caused a tremendous sensation.
The newspapers which oppose the
present government declare that Sir
Edward Grey's statement on the Bal

mons yesterday was wholly unsatisfac-
tory and they are expected to seize
upon Lord Miners prediction of dis
aster at the Dardanelles to further
their attack.
1t is no longer concealed here that
the attitude of Greece is causing the
allies uneasiness. In Lord Lansdowne's
reply to Lord Miner he stated that

800 were kept for, the graduates and
their families and the trustees and
the rest were sold at a low price.
Every seat in the house was sold and
filled, including some 200 extra
chairs which were placed in the rear
of the hall. 1t was unavoidable
that a great many should be disap-
pointed, but there is no possible way
of seating all who wish to see these
exercises, unless we erect a hippo
drome. Every one had a seat, and
the house was perfectly quiet, the
doors being closed between the num-
bers on the program. The eXer-
cises began as nearly as possible at
g o'clock Friday evening, and to a
march played by Miss Stimson at the
piano, the Sc graduates, girls leading,
marched slowly in marshalled by Leo
LedouX. The stage was simply ar
ranged with palms and flowers and
was unoccupied during the program
by any one but the speakers.
After the invocation had been de-
livered by the Rev. J. J. Hutchinson,
the first speaker, was Charles Spauld-
ing, president of the L. S. A. grad
yates. He delivered the address of
welcome in an interesting manner,
rendering this usually hackneyed
subject with fresh interest. The
second number on the program was
given by Carrie l. Marshall, a grad
uate of the teacher training course.
Her subject was "Reorganizing
Country Schools an appropriate
one, as these girls are the ones who
will teach our rural schools. She
had many new and vivid ideas on the
Improvements which can be made in
rural schools and suggested that in
locating schools, town lines should not
always be considered before aces
sibility. Her essay set ideals for
both teachers and citizens in country
communities. Loren B. Dur
kee, an agricultural graduate,
was next in order, and
gave a Demonstration of Pruning
He brought on the stage several
small trees from one to six years
old, criticised their shapes and con-
dition, and with his sharp pruning
knife and saw illustrated the proper
trimming and shaping. 1t is prob
able that he understands the bust
ness, but his measures seemed very
drastic to the audience. 1t is far
cry from the former er-the-Alps-
lies-Italy,' style of essay to prac-
teal one like the foregoing

given much time and patience in

ladies will proceed soon to under
take the making of the efficient
homes about which we hear. Har-
old Ahern, Harold Whipple and
Freeman Walker enter Middlebury
College this fall, Raymond Campbell,
Dartmouth and Thelma Burbank,
Radcliffe. Albert Gerry Blodgett
will take a few months of post-grad-
uate work in preparation for the Ma
val Academy. OF others plans we
have not heard.
The teachers have all dispersed to
their various summer homes and
with few exceptions, will all return
another year. Miss Margaret Blake
goes to Boston to take up special
study of crthopedics in the Massa-
chusetts General Hospital. Her
place will be taken by a Miss Dur
gin, a Bates alumna. There is also
to be an additional teacher in the
domestic science department, a Miss
Enos from Pratt Institute.
What changes will be made in the
Agricultural School we do not know
as that institution becomes state
property July 1. Mr.. and Mrs. Bur
rell have already gone, prefering a
position in the South, which was he1
home. 1t is also to be regretted
that Earle Bradley is not to return
for, although here but a year, he had
made a most favorable impression in
the school and community.

ed charts showed the different COM
position of various rations, figured
the cost from all points of view, and
succeeded in interesting his audience
in one of the routine subjects of the
new style farmers research. Frances
Clement, who is a graduate from the
course in home economics, had very
decided and excellent ideas on 1.-THE
Efficient Home" which she presented
in a charming manner. 1t is a max
i'm of today, that the housekeeper
should take her work seriously
enough to make it a business. To
be successful she should have a
house arranged in the best and most
convenient manner, and her work
shop or kitchen should also be ar
ranged with a view to saving unnec-
essary travel. The speaker showed
the effect of careful training in this
business and will doubtless carry out
in her own career this excellent ad-
vice. Harold A Whipple gave the
address to the graduating class in a
most dignifled and impressive man
ner. His "reminiscences OF their
work and play together and his out
look on the future years, with his
graceful tribute to the benefactor OF
the school will be remembered by the

/ At the close of the students part
in the program Mr.. Vail assembled to
the platform to take his part in the
solemn ceremony of the year. He
expressed great qualification at the
sight of so many fine young men and
women, who had acquitted them
selves so well during their school
years, and also at the interest and
cooperation of the parents and
homes, which is so essential for the
success of the school To the grad
yates he spoke a few words OF ex-
cellent advice in his usual practical
manner. To build solid foundations
of character, to work well and live
clean and honorable lives, sums up In
the briefest possible way the gist OF
his remarks. His address will be
published in full and can be pre-
served by all. At it's close the long
procession, the boys stately and slim
. in their black suits, the girls fail
and attractive in the dresses of theil
own handiwork, moved slowly up the
aisle and across the stage, each OF
the Sc receiving from Mr.. Wallis

sented so much effort and which
coming from his hand, will be doub

Speakers From Abroad.
AS they resumed their seats, si1
of the most distinguished men IN
America took their places upon the
platform to speak to these graduates
and to address, some for the first
time, a representative Vermont au-

Colonel George Harvey, editor OF
the North American Review, acted
as master of ceremonies in his mimi

would be impossible to render in
printed just idea of the scintilating
wit and humor, the intellectual
heights, the practical common sense
which now came from the platform,
as so much was purely impromptu
The program was long, but it was
not a sentence too long, for the au-
dience was spell-bound by the elo-
quence and charm of so many men
who represent Americas highest at
tainments. Colonel Harvey is no
stranger here, but his introductions,
though sometimes embarrassing,
could not have been surpassed for
humor and keenness.
President Hibben spoke specially on
! the training of the mind. Presi-
dent Nichols on a similar subject
with different premises. President
Finley dealt more with the conduct
of life in general and its compensa-
tions, while President Elliott's re-
marks were in the line of practical
business advice. If one were to
draw comparisons, it might be said
that if Mr.. Hibben was erudite and
learned, President Finley was witty
/ imaginative and spiritual, President
Nichols was intellectual President
Elliott practical. 1t was, all in all
a rare mental treat, and the au-
dience dispersed intensely interested
