taste has been cultivated away from
the common, the bazarre, the flam-
boyant and all those things that are
generally called rag-time. whether in
music, in literature, in furnishings, or
in manners. The school is a prophe.

PROPULSION OF LACE

One of the most noticeable features
in the development of Paris fashions
which are intended for summer use is
the profuson of lace and embroidery
ideas, writes Noelie de La Sablere in
the Lace and Embroidery Review. 1t
may be said almost to rule the season.
Whatever else may enter into the
fashions, the tendency to lace and en-
broidery will not grow less, but, on
the contrary, is expected to become
more pronounced.

ed to the exposition to distribute the
little handbook which is to represent
the greatness of Ohio, and to pave the
way for the entry of his chief. Cuneo
has been on the state payroll since
January as information clerk at the
Panama Pacific exposition supposedly
stationed at the Ohio building to as
sist interested visitors there. AS a
matter of fact he has been occupying
desk in the governors office and
turning in personal expense account at
Columbus while engaged in further

the ambitions of the governor. Not

PROF. PEARsoN's ADDRESS
The significance of the commence
ment season is emphasized by the re-
Election that a careful, scientific in
vestigation has discovered that the
average, economic value of people is
$10,00O.0O. 1t is easy, therefore, to
compute the economic value of this
class, However, it is we'll to reflect
that by reason of the training they
have received in your school, their &C.
onomic value is above the average.
Otherwise, we should not feel elated
over the work of the school. In fact,
we are looking to these young people
not only to attain to the average, but
to go far above it, SO that they will
have the supreme joy of feeling that
they are helping up toward the aver
age, many who have been less forum
ately situated. In such an event, the
tax payers and friends of these grad
yates will rejoice in the Investment
they have made in the school.
