COMMENCEMENT AT
FESSENDEN ACADEMY

The people of Marion county wish
to express in this public way their
appreciation of the splendid years
work of Prof. FL. S. Barnwell and his
faithful corps of teachers. The ex-
ercises of commencement week prov
ed that Fessenden Academy is still
up to its usual high standard of eff
fieiency.
The exercises began last Thursday
night with an operetta by the fifth
and sixth grades. This was followed
on Friday night by concert of the
primary grades. Saturday was Farm
ers' Day and general inspection of
the school plant rPof. A. P. Spencer,
of the University of Florida, was the
chief speaker and the farmers heard
him gladly. His address on "Scien-
tifc Farming" will not soon be for
gotten.
On Sunday morning the last COM
munion service of the year was held.
The same was short, solemn and eff
| fective as is the custom of Fessen-
denis services. Promptly at o'clock
the professional, led by the principal
and speaker of the day, started from
Carnegie Hall to the chapel. Despite
threatening clouds the auditorium
was quite full with visitors from the
community, Ocala and surrounding
towns. The baccalaureate sermon was
preached by Rev. j. w. Holloway of
Dorchester Academy, Thebes, Ca, and
a mastery sermon it was.
| The public examinations Monday
morning were followed in the after
noon by an enthusiastic prize speak
ing contest in which the young people
showed careful training. The first
prize was won by Joseph Pratt, Of
the junior class and the second by
Louverna Akery, of the ninth grade.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. Fl. Kittredge were
among the judges and spoke highly of
the contestants. Mr.. F. j. Gadson of
the Ocala Bazaar, donated the prize
jof SIS.
The baccalaureate address and the
annual concert Monday were espe-
cially good as was the operatta, Snow
White, presented Tuesday night by
the third and fourth grades. The
i exercises closed Wednesday night
with play by the high school, en-
titled "Savageland." Every student
was at his best and the audience, in
Icluding many white friends, went
away giving many compliments to
both student sand teachers.
i Prof. Barnwell feels very grateful
Ito the public for the cordial support
lgiven him and his workers this year.
| He believes with his predecessor, Prof
Wiley, in the culture of the head, the
heart, the hand and is working along
this line. The exceptional display of
work in the cooking, domestic art and
manual training departments proved
in no uncertain way the kind of work
he is doing for the people of this Sec
ton. He deserves ard will get, we be-
lieve, the hearty support of the pub
lie both white and colored.
/ Prof. Barnwell looks forward en-
Enthusiastically to the fall term which
begins September 4th. A Citizen.

through long illnesses, nothing; for do

Thoroughly ashamed OF himself,
Robert ran to mother, threw bis arms

While the Star has opposed the
views expressed by Mr.. Fl. w. Tuck
er in regard to the new water and
electric plant, il has not condemned
him for expressing them. The dis
cussion brought on by his criticisms
has cleared up number Of things
and informed the people of much of
which they would otherwise have re-
manned in ignorance. It is the priv
ilege OF every citizen to express his
opinion, criticise his government and
make it come his way if he can. Good

'The Illinois Stats Zeitung was

toned by any other consideration

the United States impotent for self
defense

What EIopina used to Mean.

An elopement has very definite
meaning in the English language of to-
day. 1t is restricted by custom to a
single meaning, that relating to the
disappearance Of pair OF sweethearts.
But an elopement In advertisements
in eighteenth century newspapers meant
the abseonding of slave.

word. and Eric the Red would be much

try lmpotent against defense IN ev-
cry form of preparedness except the
brand, then we beg to ex-
press our satisfaction at being with
some of his opponents rather than
with him. We favor the Swiss and
Australian system of military service.
We favor preparedness in the pub
lie schools, by means of textbooks
written exclusively by American-born
citizens upon history and geography,
by teaching more of European his
tory and less of English history, by
preparing the bodies of our young
people through exercises in turning
and swimming; by compelling every
public school student to learn one
European language in addition to the
American; by developing, an Ameri-
can encyclopedia as our reference
work i'm place of the Encyclopedia
Britannica which hardly mentions our
Declaration of independence; by
Matchmaking the manufacture of
arms and ammunition for use of our
government; by intoxicating stronger
love for our government by means of
laws that would benefit the poorer
rather than the riches classes, So
called socializing laws; by compul-
sorry military service for each ply
sically fit male and compulsory hos
pital training for each physically fit
woman, each for a short period dur
ing high school and preparatory
school courses; by government sub
sidy given to universities and col
leges that will graduate officers for
our army and for our navy under
United States regulations and con-
troll.
1--WE don't know what German
newspaper printed in the United
States looks like. We publish an
American newspaper in Chicago; it is
printed partly in the German and
partly in the American language. We
don't know what Mr.. Roosevelt means
by a German propaganda. We do
know that we have no connection with
the German government, nor with
any foreign government, but that we
are independent in finances as well
as in politics and therefore dare to
answer Mr.. Roosevelt's attack in a
fearless and truthful manner.
ITO be sure we praise the German
people for their military prepared
