DECLARES MANS WORLD
IS IN HIS own BRAIN
DR.. u. G. B. Pierce Tells Wilson
Normal School Graduates Of
Education's Boon.
Says No Community Is Civilized Un-
til It Pays Its Teachers
Plumbers Wages.

Declaring that the difference between
the educated man and the uneducated
one is analogous to that between man
and animal, Rev. DR.. u. G. B. Pierce,
in an address at the commencement ex-
ercises of the Wilson Normal School
at the building yesterday afternoon,
declared that the brain actually creates
the world in which one lives.
I'VE may all live in the same room,
with the same sky over u.s." he said,
but mans world is that which he car
ries around in his own mind. His
world is created by his ideas. his hope,
his associations and the meaning
which he can put into life. A man
may live in the smallest village. yet If
he be educated he is a man of the
world"
an entirely different world from that
seen by man: that they had no appreci-
alton of those things which appeal to
man. such as the rising of the moon,
the setting of the sun and music. The
uneducated man, he said, judged the
community in which he lived by the
number of things which 1t contributed
to his animal comfort and that the
music liked By such a man was in
reality not music. but rather inter
THE educated man lives in a more
glorious world said the speaker.
He paid a tribute to the profession
Of teaching, saying that 1t Is almost
cult professions. He also took occasion
to criticise adversely the low salaries
paid teachers.
Teachers Ill-Paid.
no community is really civilized un-
til-shall / say it?-until of it's own
free will it insists upon paying its
teachers as much as it pays its plumb
ers. although, of course, we need
plumb too, and they deserve as
much as they can GET" he said.
Ernest L. Thurston, superintendent
of public schools, who presented the
diplomas, told the class that "the pro-
fesSion of teaching offers you much
but lit also demands a great deal-that
you must fit yourselves for it, and
that you shall not scorn small serv-
ice"
The teacher. he said, has somehow
lost that special place held in the
community number of years ago, but
is gradually regaining it.
The public is again restoring her
to her rtghtful place" he said.
One Of the most pleasing features OF
the program was the singing of songs
a group of which were for children
by the young teachers. Rev DIR. John
Weidley delivered the Invocation
OF education, presided. The class en-
tered bearing daisy chain, one of th.
regular parts of the annual commence.
