OUR DUTY IN
 \ { THE PHILIPPINES
AGNES LEWIS MARSH

The problem in the Philippines in 1898, when the American people took possession of these Oriental Islands, was not the problem of governing and teaching one kind of people; it was a problem of far greater magnitude, for there were five or six different kinds of people, speaking as many different tongues, and besides, more than one half million were savages.
 Under the law of nations, as accept ed by all civilized people, the surren- der of Manila to our forces made it encunnbent upon us to provide for the security of persons and property found therein. Spain's obligation passed to us and our duty in the Philippines dated from that event. A retrospective glance will demonstrate how faithfully we have performed that task.
 A struggle with Aguinaldo, a; native chief continued through the first two years of our occupation. There was so little known at the time con cerning the existing conditions in the Philippines, President Mckinley dis patched a commission to the island to study and report the situation.
 The investigation resulted in the issuing of the following statement:
 ''The Filipinos lack of education and political experience combined with their racial and linguistic di- versailles, disquaIify them, in spite of ther mental gifts and domestic vir- tues, to undertake the task of govern ing the archipelago at the present time. Should our power by any fatal tty be with drawn, the commission

Parents and Friends of the Class of
 1915:
 Some unknown poet has compared life to a road whose course is marked by rniIestones which indicate the inn portant epochs of each kcareer, and we, the members of the class of 1915 as we welcome you to our comm enee- ment exercises this evening feel that we have reached one of the most important turning points on that long Journey which stretches before us so enticing1y in it's Enystery-so de- fantly in it's cha1lenge-so a1luringIy in its possibilities.
 Some of our members who enter ed the High school four years ago failed to complete the work which they had mapped out for themselves it may be that the difficulties were too many and could not be surmounted- it may be that Encouragement for time blinded them to the opportuni- ties which are offered to each and every pupil who identifies himself with the High school. But we trust that their ideals have not been lowered only the realization delayed for a time.
 But for us who remained, the fair flush of the morning light guided us along the path which seemed to point to success if we would but persevere, and you, our friends, have watched our progress W1th k1nd and anN ouS eyes as we strove to fulfill the prom 1se of our grade school promotion. Sometimes failere has been our DOT ton and we have felt the weight of your temperate and tender correc- ton; oftentimes victory has smiled upon us and we have not, lacked your cordial approval At best, words are but idle, it must be by our efforts in the future that we will prove to you that our gratitude is deep and abid- ing for all your kindly interest in the past.
 Tonight, as we stand before you, extending to you, parents and friends l a hearty welcome, we feel the true force and austere beauty of poets words The world was. all before them where to choose' ''

''Classmates:
 'FWe are about to leave the stage literally and fguratively. We have enjoyed our four years of schooling. of course. The period will always be remembered as one that was most happy and care-free. There was a spirit of conradeship in the class that made our high school days very pleas ant indeed.
 'As c1ass, we are ambitious, yet we do not dwell upon this, for a.nab1- ton is one of the things that are net loudly proclaimed because they are cherished. We will surely be pardoned by our elders for believing that there are undream ed-of posstbili- ties ahead of us, and by our school mates for maintaining that 1t is a privilege to belong to the best class to- graduate from the Old High School.
 Let, then, the earnest hope that every one will strive to attain the Best Things, in his interpretation of
 our motto, Nothing Sweeter than Success" be the farewell to the Class
 of Nineteen Hundred and Fifteen"
 The Barnunn prizes, which were awarded MT. Weise and Miss Marsh,

 Maplewood school at the age of seven
 and the High school at the age of 8
 During her High school course she has been one of the most popular members of the class. She served or the Criterion staff in her junior and senior years as head of the art de- partment.
 She is a most talented young wo- man in many ways and is. widely known fol, her artistic dancing. Dur i ing the summer of 1914 she attended the Russian school of dancing, from which she was graduated, receiving 2 teachers diploma She expects to | take up this line of work during the 1 summer and will enter Barnard col Iege, New York, in the autumn. l The judges, to whom fell the tasl l of deciding the winners of the con l test were General Henry A.
