INDIVIDUAL SERVICE

Human achievement cannot be meas ured by the altitude attained by the in dividual. Great riches do not mean great service exalted position does not mean
 lofty attainment in behalf of the race. In brief, the thing which counts for most in life is not what the man or woman accomplshes for himself or herself but what is accomplished for the multitudes who go'to people the earth If we are to be guided by the true spirit of the wonderful age in which we live, we must emphasize the collective rather than the individual life; must understand that what concerns the race is of greater importance than that which concerns the individual.
 And what wonderful opportunities we have today for service; how greatly has the circle of our influence widened How the world has progressed, and how our responsibilities have multiplied with this progress. A little while ago and the world about us was world of mystery. We had no cables, no telephones no telegraph
 wires, no newspapers, no fast ships and faster trains, and we were out of touch with our neighbors, to say nothing of the multitudes who peopled other lands.'
 Before awarding the diplomas to the large class Dr. Phillips made a splendi6 address to the graduating class, faculty and parents. He extended congratulations to the seniors, and thanked the faculty and parents for cooperation that made the class possible. Dr. Phillips used Faith" for his subject, and stressed the thought that faith in oneself and in his fellowman could accomplish what would otherwise seem impossible.
 The exercises were opened at S:3O with invocation by the Rev. J. $. Foster, pas tor of the First Presbyterian church, and

WARD PRESIDES


 George B. Ward city commissioner of Birmingham and president of city boal, of education presided over the exer- cises. After a few remarks and words of welcome, he introduced John R. Horn- ady, commissioner of public health and education. In speaking of MT. Hornady, MT. Ward said: MT. Hornady is now engaged in the great battle against illt- eracy; for enlarged buildings and more facilities for the public school system of the city. He is a student statesman and scholar and his efforts to place Birming- ham to the forefront of educational cen ters in this country should be met with the hearty cooperation of all the people of Birmingham.
 Departing from tradition and instead of pointing the graduating students to the high road of success and individual aspirations, MT. Hornady, in delivering the annual graduating address, used for his subject Individual Service-a Serv ice That Will Be to the Welfare and Uplifting of Humanity in Their Respec- tive Communities He said in part:
 Were I to follow tonight the pathway established by tradition I would endeavor to inspire the members of this splendid class of young men and women with the ambition to go out into the world and there make for themselves places of dis tinction; to seek lofty heights of indi- vidual attainment from which they could look down upon the struggling multitudes about them. But tradition is worthy of emulation only as time demonstrates that there is no better way, and l trust that may be pardoned on this occasion if l deviate from the beaten path and speak of service for the race rather than of large attainment for the individual,

TREES AS BAROMETERS.
Why IL 10 q Sign Of Rain When the
Leaves Show Their Backs.

LodNeb OnoW lneiF baCkb.
Persons who are close observers have
frequently seen the trees when the
foliage presents a much different up
pearance from that ordinarily seen
This Is more noticeable in poplar and
silver leaf trees.
The odd appearance is due TO the fact
that the backs of the leaves are turned
up, showing the under sides, which
are, as a rule, lighter color than the
upper side. Some of the leaves are
such light green as to appear almost
white when the backs show I'm the
sunshine.
This behavior OF the leaves is due
TO an unusually low barometric condi-
ton Of the atmosphere, which causes
the leaves to curl a little and flip up IN
the breeze to such an extent as 10
show their backs or under sides.
The low barometric condition pro.
duces local showers. and it is always
safe 10 predict rainfall when the leaves
are seen to have their backs up Long
before the white man came TO America
Indians knew of this sign and placed
great reliance on it. Science also finds
knowledge OF 1t among savage tribes OF
Asia, Africa and the Pacific islands.
