ton OF popular and classic music by
the Smith Spring Holmes orchestra.
They were repeatedly encord, but
owing to the length of Chancellor
Bradfords speech the orchestra was
unable to respond to the applause.
Chancellor Bradford's subject was
Americas Destiny in which he said
that America was to build the world
after the war and to be able to do this
efficiently all Americans must have
higher education.
Bradford Speaks.
He began by showing what we are
today, and the spirit of our fOrefath-
ers in coming to America that they
might here work out the problem of
community and national life.
He then declared that a nation
could not be built without material,
and that God had perhaps more rich
ly endowed America with a variety
of natural resources than any other
nation. Thus he laid one corner
stone, Natural Resources.
He said secondly that nation to
be great, must also be great COM
mercially, and proved that American
genius had SO laid hold of our nat
ural resources, that America in its
childhood is rivaling the nations of
the world for commercial supremacy
The third corner stone is Patriot
ism Patriotism, he defined as love
of our brother, and that a nation to
be great must love it's flag.
The fourth corner stone which he
laid was Son Crowned Manhood,
affirming that the other three would
not long endure unless that man
hood which is above money and mort
cages control it all for the good OF
all.
After laying this fourth corner stone
he prophesied that when the tomor-
row is fully come rmerica will in
deed be the uplifting and controlling
influence among the nations of the
world.
Much Depends on Young People.
He then asked the young people
what part in the affairs of that to-
morrow they expected to perform, de-
claring they could render a great
service, or, on the other hand be lost
in the distance
Comparing the counsel of America
to her young people with that of Eu-
rope he said: THE counsel of Eu-
rope to her young people is to be an
apprentice to some craft for seven
years, while America is counselling
her young people to be an apprentice
to the high school and the college
for seven years" He then showed
that there was no barrier today in
securing this education, nok even pow
erty.
Next, emphasis was laid upon the
part parents should perform, on be-
half of their children. Many parents,
said he, are too busy getting rich to
take even fifteen minutes once in
while with their children.
Il am not here" he said, "to advo-
cate the adoption of some new tangled
law by which we are to solve Amer
ica's problems but to plead with the
home, the church, the school, and the
chautauqua to cooperate in growing
our children into one hundred pei
cent. men and women, and as a big
team pulls big load, so big men and
women will solve big problems.
1.-The Destiny of Tomorrow is in the
hands of the young people of today.
and as a big team will pull big load,
so big men and women will build a
world bound in brotherhood. If the
American man will live like brother,
he will not need to die like a soldier"
His confusion was a picture of what
the world of tomorrow will be if
American men fully possess the spirit
of our founders in cementing the
world in the spirit of brotherly love.
This he declared to be both the privil-
eye and duty of the American.
